How do you decide what's to read?

| Just based on curiosity and if the summary is nicely written. Also the genre, characters and stuff like cover. Sometimes I just pick up few chapters of something and read it

| Maybe because I'm tired or another valid excuse but it has got to be the pretty picture covers that draw me in. Usually I search blindly and if I see a pic I can't seem to understand (like all blue with big eyes peeking but there is an odd background that requires looking further) I have to check it out. Name titles really get to me, if they sound hilarious or out of place another reason for me to go -click-

| I think it's a little of everything. For me the drawing style is the most important. I usually don't read certain mangas if I don't like the style of drawing. I would read the story summary first too. If I like the plot and genre, I would read it. I read most genres but it depends on my mood sometimes.
Most of the time, if there's a good looking character in the manga, it would make me want to read it. lol

| Hmmm.... I used to start off by genre, then followed writer's I liked works. Nowadays I look to see what this or that scanlation groups (those that have done other projects I liked, hence my being here) has done. As a general rule, good artwork catches my eye enough for me to look to see if the story sounds good. In those cases, I read the summary to decide if I shall read the rest of the story. I really love good artwork and will flip through poor story lines to look at good artwork but it is not as enjoyable. A really good story with poor artwork is another beast altogether, as I find the artwork distracting :( for all that the story may pull me along anyway. Nuts, I'm just a manga junkie I guess. Only ones I don't read have to have bad art and uninteresting plot lines.

| I tend to choose based on a variety of factors. I usually start with recommendations from Baka Updates (they usually have them listed on the side when you're viewing a specific manga page) and then I read the summary, check out the art work and determine whether it might be worth reading. Also, I tend to stick with the shoujo series that have bishies in them!

| The summary. If the manga has an ugly cover but a really interesting summary, I would try a few chapters and struggle through the artwork. But if it's vice versa (as in, has a super cliche plot), then I wouldn't even bother reading it, even if it has the most gorgeous artwork ever.

| I try to read mangas/manwhas that are completed or are almost complete. Although, I don't always follow this. I will look at the covers and if I like the art I will read it. I will also read mangas/manwhas by authors I have read before and liked. I tend to pay close attention to summaries/descriptions.

| Well first of all :
1. It has to be romance. I do like shounen action and adventure too but I watch ony the anime versions.
2. I'll most probably read a series which's author's works I've read and like before.
4. The plot, an interesting and not like the usual childish-manga one.
3. The graphic of course. It can be as ugly as possible but by all means not childish(like for example that candy something or Suki desu Suzuki kun or others).

| 1. The drawing : Not very important, but it will take my attraction in first glance over the bunch of other comics.
2. The summary : It's the deciding factor.
3. The genres : Not very important, but I usually look at this line before the summary.
4. The long of the story : Even though it may be very good but if I don't have time, I'll go by it no wonder.

| To decide on what I ready, the first thing I look at is the genre. I hate tragedy, because I can't take sad ending. Then I look at the artwork. I am a sucker for beautiful artwork. Lastly, I read the summary.

| well, I chose what to read in three stages. first stage would be a title, somehow it should catch my eye. second stage is reading a summery, if i find it interesting, then I follow to the third stage, where i read the first chapters, if I get hooked then I read it till the end even if the story gets boring. Ofcourse there are always exeptions.
