For those of you who watch movies or shows based on comics or manga, do you also read the source material?

Not a big fan of manga for some reason but I like reading the light novels. It's weird cause I like animes and novels but not the in-between

[bruhmaster993x2]

I read Manga and Light Novels. I do it often because when I want to find out what happens next and its not in the Anime/Manga. I only read light novels if theyre finished though, im already reading A LOT every week and I dont want to add more things lol

Yes, in relation to mangas or light novels, often the original material is superior to adaptation.

[Patoel]

If the chances of having a new season are low, then I look for the manga

[Ruvick]

I like to read manga as there is just a larger quantity. Though some manga have some serious quality to.

[LovelySarcasm]

Both for sure.

I tend to read manga a lot more than the anime or show because it allows me to go at my own pace! Often times when I watch the series it either goes too slow or wayyyyy to fast for me to process all the information making it difficult for someone like me, with adhd, to pay attention to the story or plot. When I read the comic or manga tough, it gives me more control over how fast or slow i process and soak in what's happening unless it moves wayyy to fast leaving holes creating a mess of "what is happening" and "when did that happen?".

[fwfw1234]

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way as WarTurtle147 because sometimes comics and manga are more succinct and direct than their adaptations.

I don’t read none of em, although for some time I read manga

[sasharodigo]

I sometimes give in to reading a manga if I can't wait for the anime adaptation haha

[lookingforrachel]

I've read source material for Invincible, The Walking Dead, The Boys, and MHA. I usually only read if it deviates a lot or I'm impatient

[EpicDirt69]

Sometimes I read the manga if the adaptation is known to be lacking in certain aspects. Also, generally the manga is ahead of a ongoing series. I also like that in manga you can pace yourself instead of being reliant on the pacing of the show. If I watch the show I generally don't read the manga and vice versa, but this is not always the case.

[Brettskii99yt]

I prefer comics I find them easier to read IMO

[BatmanGranny]

Yeah i read manga a lot. I love artwork in OnePunchMan its gorgeous.
