How do you search for new manga to read, /a/?
I don't read manga.

One Page Threads usually
It tends to be enough since i watch more anime than i read manga
65% - finding a new series a scanlator started since I download from their site
30% - checking different series from the author
4% - /a/
1% - luck
If I went searching for a series, I'd never find something to read because I fucking read most of it already, over 1100 series on my reading list on BT

Good methodology there.

online manga site -> latest manga/new manga list

Going to each translator's site/irc and asking/checking if they have any new release
Random chapters on dynasty
useally go to MAL and look at top manga

Fuck you fags who don't read basically everything. But harem and homo, I can understand.

I pick the most interesting one from OPTs.
/a/, from the what are you reading threads (which happen never, but still generate far more interesting series than any other threads). Everything else I either already have backlogged from authors, charts, same scanlators and watching series as they complete. Occasionally I will just randomly click names as they appear on MU.
>>134682588
A great way to find trash.
>>134683156
They're pretty standard series.
>>134680557
In a rather primitive fashion, really. Roll a dice with number 1 through to 6 and select that folder. From there it is a matter of scrolling up and down till I see a title that peaks my interest. There isn't a whole lot of thought involved. As the collection expands the more or a mixed bag each next read can be. Kind of fun in and of itself.
>>134682556
>Proper way
I fail to see how checking English scanlations is in any way the "proper" way to select Japanese language comics for reading. Can you expand on this reasoning a little?
>>134682855
This desu. I'm approaching 600 this year
>>134683342
>I fail to see how checking English scanlations is in any way the "proper" way to select Japanese language comics for reading. Can you expand on this reasoning a little?
This is an english language board, the assumption is most people only know english and not japanese. So with most people, the default would be to seek a translated manga rather than raw manga.

Trash like Mirai Nikki make it into the top 100 of their list. Thats the worst manga ive ever read.
>>134683577
And? That was popular on /a/ as well. It made that stupid chart, but that doesn't invalidate the rest of the chart. It was actually amusing to rag on to other people about how shit it was. But that didn't make it good, no.
i only read manga that don't have anything like any anime
i've never read a battle harem manga and i never will probably
>>134683569

Then repeat ad infinitum. They're pretty pointless to visit regularly after you know what you're doing.
>>134682725
>>134680557
where is this search from?
>>134683698
Lurk more.
>>134683644
The thing is,the other series are babbys first manga tier. Its completely useless for finding good series.
>>134680557
recommendation threads
>>134683754
That's more agreeable. Although, I think I first found Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan just looking around there. Way to be overrated, but it's not a bad series and not exactly well-read compared to the rest of them on there.
>>134683644
>>134683745
fucking asshole who tells people to lurk more instead of spoonfeeding something that has no way to be founded by self search.
Probably a loser in life kid who hates everyone, even your family looks down on you, shitty brat.
kill yourself
>>134683914
Lurk more, faggot
>>134683914
Wrong: Protip, Google is also useful for searching words instead of pictures. Fucking OPTfags.
>>134680557
Psychological Harem would be GOAT desu
>>134683895
The reverse is true too, you know.
>>134682588
If there's one thing you should never do, it's search by "top" anything.
Lets stop by that shithole Mangafox for a second:
>One-Punch Man: Rank 1
>Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Rank 5711
If you only stick to the top ranking series, you'll never actually find the good stuff.
>INB4 "YKK is shit"
I'll fight you

>>134683963
I can take no more.
You're a lucky guy that your adress is not written instead of Anonymous. Otherwise I would have been there in 24h
>>134684172
What you said right there is somewhat contradictory:
>never do
>only stick
The idea should be that you use a number of means to find good manga. Especially when demographics generate different popular series, for instance /a/.
Pick randomly a few dozens from the backlog and then choose from them.
Or >>134682582 when feeling /u/, though there isn't much left unread there.

>This is an english language board, the assumption is most people only know english and not japanese.
This is a board about Japanese media. We already have a board for English language comics and cartoons.
>So with most people
Most people use facebook and don't come to 4chan. You have no right to make this argument unless you also support English language dubs. I bet you don't.
>the default
No excuse. You have absolutely not excuse for needing translations. 4chan isn't a board for any braindead pleb. Lurk moar and take off those training wheels.
>>134684734
But the point is, that you're in the minority (regardless of how valid or invalid your argument may be). Is /jp/ just bitter that they can't reasonably discuss manga without getting redirected to /a/?
>>134681328
That seems like a good idea but I'm scared I'd end up with this crazy huge backlog of manga I'll never actually get around to.
I don't actively search for new manga but I do occasionally come across one or two that interest me through a random thread.
>>134685414
Of shit. Unless you're interested in the particular niche or grade of manga that those threads seem to attract.
>>134684337
Jokes on you fag, I'm on the moon right now. Try getting here in 24h
I keep an eye on Batoto and MU updates. I have a large backlog as it is, I don't need to search. If I really need something new and have no ideas, I use a random manga Python script with filters for MU, search for completed series only.
>>134683577
>mirai nikki

Holy shit, actually read some fucking manga. It's a shitty series, but it's far from the worst.

Still looking for that perfect manga/anime/VN. Will probably die waiting.
>>134684172
I read the Hakomari LN because it was the top rated at one stage. Shit was fucking great.
7 Seeds was also something I read because it was around the top. Again, fantastic.
I mostly agree though. The presence of OPM and all that virtual reality video game trash makes it mostly unreliable.

I don't like x-ray shots.
Literally every single H-Manga emphasizes the fuck out of the x-ray shots.
