| I've been considering getting into manga recently, since I'm running short on time to watch anime. I'm just curious, how long does it usually take you to finish an average-sized manga? Also, do you marathon them, or just read a few chapters here and there? |
| Depends on the series. It's definitely faster to read manga compared to watching anime, though! |
mayukachan said: Depends on the series. Definitely this. It depends on how interesting it is/how much I want to know what happens next. I usually marathon through mine unless it's extremely long (100+ chapters) - that's when I split it up What's an average sized manga? :o |
 |
| Depends how engaging I find it I've read all of the current chapters of shit like Nisekoi and Yamada-kun in one night While I slug through Horimiya and One Punch-Man |

mayukachan said: wzrd said: While I slug through Horimiya and One Punch-Man These two were easy to read. :P I think how easy something is to read might depend a lot on enjoyment for some people. To contribute to the thread: average-sized might change depending on who you ask, for me around 50 to 100 chapters is average, but other people may say that a series needs more than a hundred to develop a good story. I would recommend starting out with completed series though, to avoid the frustration of waiting for chapters to come out and considering dropping a story because you don't know where it's going and won't be able to find out for some time. |

tsuyokunaru said: I think how easy something is to read might depend a lot on enjoyment for some people. Yeah, you have a point there. For me, average depends on the genre/demographic. For shounen, it's typically 100+ chapters. For shoujo/BL, one volume. For seinen, 3-4 volumes. In my experience. |
| I mostly read one-volume long mango so about 1 hour |
 |
| action stuff is a breeze. Panels are mostly incomprehensible fight scenes anyway. Romance, Drama (or anything with a lot of dialog really) take a bit longer. But compared to anime, manga is much more time effiecent. Most of the time they either take a day or two to finish. |
 |
| I agree with most of the above posters. Manga is definitely easier and faster to complete. I think I can read around 100-150 chapters per day if each chapter is around 25-30 pages long with a bit of action. |
| I breeze through chapters of anything that's interesting while drinking the tears of those who had to wait for each chapter to come out week in and week out. |

| It purely depends on the series and how much I enjoy it. If I enjoy a series less it will take longer to read but if I enjoy a series more it will be a lot faster. |
 |
| Not too long. I finished both Rosario Vampire series' in like 3 or 4 days |
 |
mayukachan said: It's definitely faster to read manga compared to watching anime, though! I read manga at a glacial pace while anime has a set length of time, so I usually finish a thirty to forty page long chapter with almost around the same time required as a regular episode of anime. |
 |
| 1.5 hours per volume, but if there is alot of fighting/action in it then probably within a hour. |
| I dont read manga. |

I read fast then :) But it really depends on how bulky the dialogue is. |
| About 30-40 minutes/volume, 20 for action-filled volumes. I read a little too quickly, and unfortunately I don't have time to enjoy manga. D: |
| I usually like to read chapters volume by volume now. I used to marathon manga series, but it would usually burn me out. Burnt out to the point that I wouldn't wanna read anything for like 2 weeks. Be it physical or digital manga this is how I digest reading easiest + variety keeps me reading. I find it's a lot less overwhelming. And I usually spend about 30m per volume. |

| i read Gantz in 2 days so 37 volumes i don't know if its fast but i was really bored and had nothing to do |
| It definitely depends on the series and personal enjoyment value. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| Hmm.. I've finished Chapter 116 consisting of 30-40 pages within only 6-7 days .. Seriously... |

| Took me 2 days to read All You Need is Kill (2 volumes). That's probably pretty slow, but there's a lot of text and I read manga in Japanese, so I don't know if that's helpful information. English manga will definitely be faster. I read "Brody's Ghost" by Mark Crilley in like an hour per volume. Normally I finish a volume per day when I'm into a manga, and it takes me about five hours to do it. I definitely prefer reading volume-by-volume. |
| 13 chapters (each about 20 pages) in about 30 min. is that slow or fast? |
 |

| It heavily depends on the series. |

Also, do you marathon them, or just read a few chapters here and there? Well, it depends. If you are reading something like HxH, feng shen ji, etc (baloons,baloons and more baloons) is obviously longer than naruto or fairy tail (let's fight that, let's fight this). I prefer reading manga with 50+ chapters because these develop better the story. I can usually read a 50 chapter manga in one day. But i'm a fast reader and i usually read in english (not my first language) |
| depends on the series and the amount of interest I have towards it. |
 |
| I can read an 100 chapter manga in about a hour or so, but it usually depends on the series. |

EazyHoon said: I can read an 100 chapter manga in about a hour or so, but it usually depends on the series. u finish a chapter is less than a minute? |
|
| I think 3-5 min per 20 pages |
EazyHoon said: I can read an 100 chapter manga in about a hour or so, but it usually depends on the series. Bleach, chapters with low pages or a manga you already read, but everything else is not possible unless you speed read and forget all of it by tomorrow XD |
|
| several years |
| it depends on how long each chapter is, and how much text is in each page. Averagely I can read one chapter in ~3 minutes plus or minus 2 minutes depending on how I am feeling at the time. |
 |
| about an hour every 10 chapters usually, depends how long they are though. |

animepvnk said: about an hour every 10 chapters usually, depends how long they are though. Same here. Sometimes i'm faster. Toarujisuru said: I usually like to read chapters volume by volume now.

Be it physical or digital manga this is how I digest reading easiest + variety keeps me reading. I find it's a lot less overwhelming. And I usually spend about 30m per volume. I have that too. I used to marathon manga too, but I don't like it anymore. It's getting bored and really want me to finish the manga, but I like it less because i want it so much. Now I read different mangas and I really like that more, because of the variation. |
