of course, the first impression is very important, not just the manga cover but also the people, even if we say we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, we still do, it's natural reply
yes ofc. if the cover looks cute & the description was okay, imma give it a try or before that i had to read reader's comments first as i dont want to waste time on trash yaoi lmao reply
i dont think its a very good habit but im definitely guilty of judging a book by its cover. I mean you could be missing out on the most heartfelt story of all time but you overlooked it because the characters were drawn poorly. but alas, quality in both aspects is always preferred ;P reply
I judge the cover but not entirely
I check the discription first if it intrigues me I check the labels
it has to be yaoi and if "tragedy tag" is there I won't read it
then I go to comments to be sure that it has a happy ending although its not like everybody writes "yay happy ending" but thats what I most look for
if its really bad then I pr...... reply
I don't juge by cover or description. Since i do sumarries and cover arts/posters. So i get the idioticy behind the beast of it e.e ... what i do judge is by first 5-10 pages.

One thing that I...... reply
Yes...... ╥﹏╥
I'M SORRY OKAY!? I'M A SLAVE TO GOOD ART AND EYE CATCHING DESCRIPTIONS! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
That doesn't mean I completely rule out other stuff but the majority of my favorites have nice covers and descriptions, okay? Sue me. It just happens. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ reply
Lol alright... Usually, if I saw an old man, a scary or an ugly looking character on the cover of a yaoi, I'd immediately click and read it. I know it sounds really weird to some (or even many) people, I understand. On the contrary, I usually avoid Manga with a really girly, kind of like girl-with-a dick looking character. So yeah, based off of tha...... reply
In all honesty, yes pretty often!!!
For me, good art + good description and feedback +good feeling about the manga= very good manga; mostly this applies
When I read the not so good art ones: I will for someone to recommend it to me and just find the comments entertaining reply
