Currently, mostly Korean manhwa (mostly webtoons). Now that I think about, I'm just wasting my time with most of them. They are entertaining, but I'm stuck in a cycle of villainesses stories, leveling up broken worlds power fantasies and revenge stories of some kind... and those stories are more or less always the same or pretty similar...

Man... this poll made me rethink my life a little lol.

If it was not "nowadays", but overall, then I'd say a more or less equal mix of Korean and Japanese comics with a little bit of Chinese and English webtoons (I never got into marvel and the like.)

Considering how few people answered "Other", the number of answers for comics from other countries likely wouldn't be very interesting to see.

I mostly read Japanese manga.
It's just the most easily accessible thing to me...

English comics would be second on my list... but I really don't read enough of them and I should probably read more, because there's a lot of good stuff there. It's just not as easily accessible, and sometimes it's a bit difficult to find something with good art, as a lot of it can be rather flat and not as detailed or stylized as I typically prefer.

I don't touch Korean webtoons at all. The art typically doesn't do it for me whatsoever, oftentimes feeling very soulless and just bland. I also really dislike the "long strip" format, as I don't typically read comics on my phone, so when it comes to ebooks, I prefer the two-page format that emulates the page layout of a physical book.

I do read a mix, but the question is "mostly", so I picked Japanese manga because that's the clear majority.

In terms of "read time", it's probably 80% to 20% Japanese vs Korean (I've read a total of 2 Chinese manhua but one finished and the other was dropped by the scanlators), because the Korean series are all regularly updated, but in terms of raw number of series, it's probably 95% to 5% because there are a bunch of manga that get really really rare updates by scanlators who have lives.

Equal mixtures of some choices above? Though, it's only Japanese manga, Korean manhwa, and Indonesian comics.

For me Korean Manhwa because they update weekly and when the author goes on hiatus they didn't take a looong time like jap manga. And scanlator really fast when they worked on korean manhwa not like manga when the Raws already hundred chapters ahead but they just update bimonthly. Usually i read manga mostly from shounen jump but now their manga quality going on decline lately. So yeah webtoon for me, I'm still reading manga but not as much like before it's like 6:4 now
