I'm curious what people's opinions are about flipped or unflipped manga. Does it matter if it's either way?

I prefer the original unflipped version, and now that someone else mentioned it, it would be cheaper to not edit that drastically.

Doesn't really matter to me. I read so little manga that release times and price have never really bothered me much. If I happen to like a particular series/book for some reason, I'll pick it up at any decent price facing either direction. You might say that makes me unrepresentative of... well... anything, but in a way I think I do. I'm just your casual manga reader. I pick them up on a whim when the situation presents itself and when I find something I think is especailly interesting or relevant to other things I may be enjoying at the moment. (For reference, my manga collection consists of Initial D volume 1, Steam Detectives 1, X Prelude, and I think another one or two random books; for the time being, anyway.) |

Unflipped - for some reason it just seems to be a bit easyer to read, and the art seems to flow a bit better as well.

I read either way- where I live, manga and anime are hard enough to find without being picky about flipped-unflipped! But overall, I prefer unflipped, simply because, even though it took time to get used to, its more original and flows a little bit better.

Unflipped is the way to go.
Maybe because I'm used to it now.... ^^;; |

Unflipped is definitely my format of choice, though it's by no means a deal breaker. It was never a HUGE issue, but when I read things like the Tenchi and Star Wars manga, there's always that little detail-oriented voice in the back of my head wanting to know just why the heck everybody is suddenly left-handed...

I'd choose unflipped any time.

It appears that only Studio Proteus is still releasing flipped manga here in North America.

I prefer unflipped manga (with original soundeffects) but I have no problem reading both ways.

I perfer unflipped, but without the original soundeffects. Unflipped is cheap and its fast to publish. Keeping the original soundeffects annoys me because I don't know what those words say, can they just put a page in the end that translate what those soundeffects mean in English!

I don't care, but over on the Comics Journal board someone made the point that when we read unflopped we're reading the visuals right-to-left but still reading the word ballons left-to-right, so we have to keep shifting gears, back and forth. I think this has always been a minor problem for me in reading unflipped.
