But, uhh... doesn't that clash with the anime's soundtrack? Or are you joking? I think I'd find it confusing and distracting. I guess I'm just no good at multi-tasking... I can't concentrate on multiple things at once.


Ok... when I do listen to music while watching, I turn off the audio of the anime. Even I can't listen to two different tracks at the same time! O_O hahahahaha...

I listen to music most of the time unless it's a really important part or something. Because there were a few times that I was listening to music while reading a sorta heartbreaking part in the manga and then a loud happy song came up. Ruined the moment. XD But then there are those times when I can't focus so I just turn it off.

sometimes, it can't have words though, whenever I listen to something with lyrics while reading anything I want to sing along and get distracted.

I even made playlist that induce specifics moods in me (like melancholic, cheery...). But usualy I just choose an interpret that seems fitting for the series.

When I'm reading online - yes.
If I own a manga - no. I normally read before I go to bed so, it's more peaceful.

While I am reading manga, I listen to my sister playing her violin. Because she doesn't play each time I read, I usually have the TV on in the background.

I tend to listen to music while reading Manga (or while doing work) because my mind has been known to wonder to odd and fascinating places far beyond this Earth...

Although i can read manga without music as well but it takes a longer time as i'm easily distracted by anything! :P

I started these days listening to music while reading manga because sometimes the songs went perfect with the scenes and it made the reading even better . It was like anime but without color and words xD

I like listening to music while reading manga. It doesn't matter what song, although most of the time I listen to anime songs, and sometimes I match the anime themes with the manga. Like for example, whenever I read the Ouran manga, I like to listen to Sakura Kiss by Chieko Kawabe, cause that was the OP for the anime.

Sometimes I also listen to regular music, but I do that rarely.

If the manga has an anime + a sound track to go with it, I'll listen to the sound track. But, otherwise, it's dead silence.

I just drop some random music folder into foobar and poke the play button before I start reading. I can listen to Dark Tranquillity while reading Yotsuba and Miles Davis while reading Death Note, as I don't really pay attention to whatever kind of noise happens to be in the background.

After reading this I though I would try it! So I re-read Bleach Vol. 1 while listening to music and I actually concentrated on it more! But usually I read in silence.

Sometimes depends on the genre but other than that I put my music on shuffle and it convienently matches what I'm reading.

I usually listen to music, but only softly. If I listen to it at levels I normally listen to music I'd be distracted and end up having to re-read pages all of the time.

If I'm in my room, I'm listening to music no matter what I'm doing.

But if I'm anywhere else when I read my manga, I prefer silence.

i listen to music while i read most of the time because the computer is in the same room as the T.V. so i need to listen to music to drown out the T.V. i usually listen to music that follows the plot, and it does help to make the manga fell more real. i'll listen to the music from the matching anime, or love songs during love stories, or rock music for action parts ^_^

I'll listen to just about anythign while reading manga, even watch TV. My brain is pretty good at multitasking.
Though, when I'm not being lazy, I'll try to match my music to my manga. Nightwish or Within Temptation are good for Tsubasa or You Higuri mangas... And it's especially good for Kaori Yuki's stuff.
