I don't actually think there has been a time where I've prefered any anime over the manga.

I always end up prefering the manga. Maybe because I enjoy reading rather than watching.
Also, slow connections during peak times = slow buffering time D:

So manga overall for me

welll... anime is notorious for changing the plot considerably... rarely do we get an anime series as close to the manga and the anime for "Nyan Koi" kind of broke off from the manga plot already, they changed something that had me screaming: "NO! No, no, no, no!! It wasn`t like that!!"... that... was the point where the whole anime went down the drain for me...

the anime and the manga feel like totally different series... bottom line -> manga hands down, since in the anime the expressions aren`t as funny and spontaneous...

Mangas are almost always better. One exception are anime-based manga like, Romeo x Juliet. Also[although I may have a million people against me when I say this], I sort of prefer the first version of the Fullmetal Alchemist anime over the manga(but just a little bit).

Well i'll have to go with the manga also, but because of how great the story is in in the manga, it made the anime tolerable (i have the tendency to not like anime...)

Also i'm hoping the main guy chooses the childhood friend

I prefer manga. I can read the manga much faster then watching anime, the manga most of the time doesn't have as much filler. Also I like assigning my own voices to the characters and colors to cloths,backgrounds, and other. ^_^
