Manga is basically the Japanese equivalent of what you might know as comic books. They have a very unique style which has developed over many years. We hope here you can learn to appreciate the art that is manga and become an avid manga fan!
This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. What time zone are you normally in? I just listed the most common offsets that are on the hour. If you're at a x:30 or x:45 offset, then you're in the "Other" category. If you can't be bothered to figure out what time zone you're in, we even got the "I don't know" option for you. If you're currently in daylight savings... too bad, figure it out.

Movie popcorn wins
This week's poll was suggested by Viki.kdrama. What flavor of popcorn do you like the most? Obviously there's too many specific ones to count, so I just put the most common flavors as options. I visited Tokyo DisneySea last year and tried their curry flavored popcorn as well as their soy sauce & butter flavor. Very interesting...

Seems like most of us do not want the stress or responsibility
This week's poll was suggested by LazyReviewer. Maybe ruling the world is too much pressure, but what about ruling anything? You can comment below what's the limit to what you would like to rule

Looks like most people don't care, but more people are starting to prefer color over greyscale
This week's poll was suggested by our member Viki.kdrama (who I'm sure has no affiliation with that website). Does reading in color matter to you?

A surprising many of us have taken multi-year breaks in the past. I guess if you voted in this poll though, you're currently not on break
This week's poll was suggested by juliarox214. Since you started reading manga (or manhua/manhwa), what's the longest break you've taken where you didn't read anything? Can you go on without this hobby?

Most of us would choose happiness over other things. Of course we could complicate this more if we had to attach money values. People naturally interpret this with jobs
