Like the question says, Which one are you?
I'm an anime only and I'm inching towards reading the manga but wanted to hear from others whether I should just wait for the anime since I've held out this long anyway lol.

I read the whole manga 5 years ago and I must say even though I forgot a lot, but i prefer the anime by a bit more, they did all the panels justice 🤌🏽

I’ve read the whole manga before but the anime just hits different.
I’d say stick to the anime for now, and then when the season ends, carry on with the manga

I tried reading the manga, I honestly didn’t like it as much as the anime. But that’s just me.

anime only, but I've gotten spoiled for like 90% of the rest of tybw.
I plan on reading the whole manga from the beginning because I want to see which scenes were cut or changed in the anime + I love the artwork. But I will wait for cour 2 to finish airing first.

Manga reader from the moment manga has ended [2016], when I heard it has reached an end I've started reading it. Before that I was anime-only so for 2007-2016.

I'm both. I'll watch a anime and if I like it well enough I'll start reading the LN. Especially if there isn't a second season announced for the future. Also pick up random titles to read. Mostly watch a lot of the animes playing for the season if I'm going to watch anime.

At this point in the story I'm an anime only. I've read about 70 chapters of the manga, but lost interest compared to the many other manga I was reading, and it got pushed aside.

if your this far you should finish the anime because there adding extra content to the anime and improving the story and it's all supervised by the mangaka so it's canon

I prefer the manga. The anime - in particular TYBW episodes - cut out way too much manga material, some of which is important because it gives context behind certain things that happen, which the anime studio doesn't care about for some reason. Also I'd suggest just reading the manga since the anime probably won't finish until 2025 at this point assuming we only get one cour per year.

Read the manga last year. So far the TYBW adaptation is really good, still prefer the manga for the chara designs and some particular panels

I've read the manga many times and know it like the back of my hand. Still, the anime is making clear indications that much of season 3 and/or 4 will be new content. Pretty excited for that.

Comparing the 2, I don't think the anime has done the manga justice 100%. Kubo has an aesthetic that is very difficult to match. Kubo has created some of the best character art in any manga. Yea, he's terrible at backgrounds, but his character art is legit 10/10. But I will say the anime has mostly drawn the characters very well. The art is excellent in the anime and the backgrounds are a great touch. I would say the anime is 90% of the manga.

I read manga after catching up at tybw season 1. Manga was great but what I see is, anime is way better, I hope they keep this work up till end.

I've read the manga but I'm watching the anime as if I'm anime only because it's been a while since I read the manga and I've already forgotten the content.

Supposedly you should hold out. It's been said that Kubo would be involved into make the anime an improved version over the manga, since the last arc was a complete mess... That still remains to be seen though, in my opinion everything is the same... The art and animation is awesome, but the plot is still dumb and the villians are still to over the top and nonsensical
