Reading online journals for uni has put me off reading things on a screen a bit :S I spend too much time at my laptop anyway some days, it probably isn't good for my eyes XD but if I am going to read any manga this year it will be online for sure. I don't have any spare cash to spend these days. The library is my best friend ahaha. ^^
Oh yes, reading manga all the way for me. I don't have the patience to sit down and watch an anime from start to finish because I often take breaks to do something else and pausing it 5-6 times per episode ruins the flow. With manga, I can pick it up anytime I want (though I usually read 2-3 pages back when it's been a long time).
I'm more used to reading on the computer, actually, probably due to having lots of scanned texts to read for uni (scanning is free, doesn't damage the book and saves paper, yay!). I only know of one shop around here that sells manga, but they only have +10-volume series...which would be quite an expense XD (I prefer to save money for books)
It'll actually be much easier for me to read manga rather than books (though I'm a fast reader); I don't have much time for books until at least July and I finish manga a lot faster :)
By all means, please do! Well, I do have a lot (100+) of series bookmarked and sorted by genre, but I rarely go by that list, I just read what I happen to come across. If I bookmark a series there's a chance of about 75% that I'll forget about it XD
That is quite a goal there! I like how you added a review to the end as well, *nods* that makes the list more interesting. Also, I won't have heard of 99% of the manga you list I expect XD so I'm curious to see what you read.
Fifty series though... I don't think I've ever read one single complete manga series ever. But that is because book shops around here are next to useless. I would do more online reading, but it hurts my eyes after a while.

Wow, 50 manga series in a year? That is a nice goal that you set for yourself. :D
I will be checking by just to see if there are some manga that might interest me as well.^^
Have you already made a list or do you go randomly?
