how often have you watched an anime and it made you pick up the manga?

[CountFrylock]

wanted to see how effective it's been on the people here

[Ric]

Not very often and not in a long time. Only examples I can think of for me are:
Golgo 13
GTO
Gunsmith Cats
Hellsing
Rurouni  Kenshin

[Ric]

Oh and if light novels count, also Vampire Hunter D. Although I stopped around the 4th book or so after falling behind. Didn't know there were so many when I started buying them.

[Top Gun]

Never.  I don't read manga.

...though I guess I did buy that fancy hardcover Nausicaa set, because that was one I felt like I had to own, but that's about it.

I guess 1 in 10 maybe. More often than not I'm reading a manga that becomes an anime. 

[Hidden]

quite a few times by now.

in recent years barely--for obvious reasons.

[MasqueradeOverture]

When they pull a Kenshin or Soul Eater and the anime goes unfinished.

[Chapinator_X]

Recently, it's just been Demon Slayer and Kaguya-sama.

It's been a while since I've had shows that make me stick with the manga instead, but I used to do it quite a bit with shounen anime like Hunter x Hunter and Soul Eater. I usually prefer Slice-of-Life, but those barely get translated and, if they do, the last update would be from several years ago.

[The1gairon]

Very rarely. More often, I pick up a manga of a story I never read before and that makes me wish an anime was made of it.

[new_disease]

So far only with Death Note

That's a lie, I know for a fact you've read My Balls.

Most of what I've read is just because I just caught up with the anime and was impatient:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Bleach
One Piece
Hero Academia
Jojo, but only through part 5

[PokeNirvash]

Since we're being honest, I'm not really a "reads the manga after the anime" kinda guy, or even the kind who reads manga at all.

I used to read the Naruto and Bleach manga, but gradually lost interest. I have both volumes of the FLCL manga, but mostly forgot about it since it was way different from the anime. I've also read Nana to Kaoru (up to what was current in 2011, anyways), because of fucking course I did.

I'm a weak little baby and I'm afraid to see what happens after the end of the 90s anime.

DOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIT

[Vamped]

Honestly the only time this has happened to me recently was when I started Gansta. on the Funimation app and realized it just fucking stops

[-Ninja_Jesus-]

A few times. The World God Only Knows being one of them. And Mushoku Tensei. although the anime was only announced, but I felt like I should read up before the anime starts. Definitely Princess Jellyfish too.

Edit: I guess Naruto and Inuyasha count.

I liked the character designs and the anime ending wasn't enough for me.

[CountFrylock]

really been pondering getting into the manga for black clover or my hero academia

[avec]

Not often, however if I'm really impatient with a series not getting another season fast enough (or never getting another season), I consider reading the manga.

[Sawdamizer]

Bink

[discolé monade]

several times

[Roymustang1990]

Usually never unless its a special case like soul eater or full metal alchemist 03
