May I ask what this is for?

I wanted to fill it in, but stopped after question 3, because that question assumes that I can't wait longer than a week for a new manga chapter.

6. What is the most you would you spend on a volume of manga?
What is the most you would you spend on a volume of manga? $3.99
$4.99
$5.99
$6.99


This question is completely ridiculous. What about $12.99 like I paid for the new Qwaser of Stigmata volume? Or the $19.99 I pay for eromanga from Icarus? Or the $30.00, with importing costs, I paid to read the latest Nogami Takeshi Strike Witches doujinshi?

The suggested price points are all ridiculously low and non-diverse.

I looked at your survey and find it rather badly constructed. It seems that you are looking for responses to further an already formed opinion or agenda. What are you trying to do?

Why is the longest wait time for new manga "I can wait a week"? I picked that option because it doesn't go higher, but you should realise that a significant amount of the "I can wait a week" answers are probably stand-ins for "I can wait 6 months+".

Ditto for the price- I'm willing to spend 11e (what I pay now) for an average sized manga volume, and that's not counting larger sizes or super-fancy releases like you get with some Tezuka manga.

Same here-- I'm just happy if something I want comes out eventually, be it 3 months or 3 years (Hello Finder, Kizuna, and other title rescues!). As for price, as a BL fan I'm used to paying up to $11-12 at the very least for titles brand new. $7 is the used price on stuff for me!

Locked.

Come on. We have a policy that says threads need to have some intelligence to them. Starting a thread like this... I think it would be reasonable to expect the survey to have some intelligence to it, too.
