    I do both.

    I like buying it better though because reading on the computer hurts my eyes and I like to support the author/artist of the manga.

  • I used to buy Naruto manga but now I just read it online. I can't find any websites that host Beet manga so I still have to buy it (although I haven't bought any in a while).

    Most of the time, I read them online. But if there's something I feel like reading, but isn't available online, I buy them. If there was a broader choice of manga available here, though, I would probably end up buying more of them. Oh, and I buy the short ones with 3 or 4 volumes only, because I'm cheap like that.

  • I read some online translations of manga that are not (yet) availeble in english, and I buy series that seem really interesting to me, or that I've read online and I really loved them.

    I'd first go for buying, but if I can't find it (which is the often the case), I download it.

  • I can't stand reading things like books or manga on the computer. I prefer to have a hard copy in front of me. As a result, I don't read as much manga as I might like. If the manga isn't available in English, I'll import the Japanese version.

  • I used to download loads of manga on the computer, but then I just started buying it all. I like it better that way, it's much easier to keep up with, in my opinion :3

  • I sometimes read manga online for the first chapter-volume just to see if its worth getting if I dont know anyone else who owns them. That way I know Im not going to be wasting my money on something I dont end up liking

  • I usually read Manga online, since few manga (that I really like are available in Belgium, niether English or Dutch). I now own the complete series of Beyblade and Alice 19th and I'm a busy collecting the Dutch version of DN Angel. If they had them in English, I'd buy them immediately though. XD

    So the majority is read online. ^^"

    Well online, actually 100% of the time, it's not at all that I dont support the suthor, its just I ether dont have the time to go out and find/buy it. It's pretty hard to find manga in a bunch of Ocean beach shacks ya know, nothing but swim suits and surf boards :/

    So yeah Online for me...
