I like both anime and manga, and for me they don't have to be compared too much. Manga has certain advantages to anime, and vice versa. So I'm here to discuss what's good about manga.

You can bring manga almost anywhere, and you can read manga almost anywhere. For anime you have to be rich (ooh, portable video players!) to do that. Moreover, manga has less censorship issues than anime, so almost any topic under the sun can be covered (care for some hardcore yuri/yaoi anyone? or plain brutal violence?). They have faster pacing in terms of plot, and a 200+ page manga can leave one exhausted especially when the story in it is jam-packed. But there is always the trusty 'bookmark' to save your progress while on the go. Manga is portable and can be carried in a bag, but be careful to handle it because it 'is only paper'. Manga requires no electricity (heh, no anime when blackout), just proper lignting conditions. It's more healthy on the eyes, and it improves your reading skills.
