| I'm going to be another person that says they listen to trance/techno, and songs with no words in 'em. The Okami soundtrack is especially good! If I'm re-reading manga or reading the manga of an anime series I've already seen, then I can do songs with words in them. |
| Yes! I read manga while listening to music. I don't know about you, but for me, once i get into the manga, the music in the background is oblivious to my ears >___<" i ignore all lyrics and sound from the music and concentrate on the manga.... it was not until recently that i realised this. gosh talk about untalented >___<" |
 Sometimes, we just don't realise how much someone means to us until they're G O N E . . |
| Tommy Heavenly6 , The Brilliant Green but mostly what is in my playlist atm |
| I do! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I play mostly background music from various places including (but not just) Melty Blood, Code Geass, Air Gear (Oh god the OST is great), Deathnote, etc. It really just depends on what the chapter is about, if its happy-go lucky I'll play something fast and upbeat, if its a fight scene, I play something more serious but blood-pumping, samething goes with every other type of scene. |
| I only do it if I'm reading a comedy or if I'm just speeding through since I've already seen the anime version. If I'm reading a serious drama, I like to be focused on the manga without any distractions. |
    |
| I only listen to instrumentals while reading manga, songs with vocals disctract me from the text. xD |
❝goodbyes are always hard, no matter how you might try to make them easier.❞ |
| I do. I grew up in a family with seven other people, it was rarely quiet and so I was conditioned to function with noise. In fact, it got to the point where I need noise to study, which is why when I'm revising in the library, I sit beside the photocopier. :P Like most of you, I prefer to listen to instrumental music while reading – soft jazz in particular. |
 |
| i always need music while reading manga i can listen to every kind of music but prefer instrumental music |
| I always listen to the xXxHOLiC OST while I read the manga. It makes it even more enjoyable. ^_^ |
| Depends what mood I'm in.. and whether or not my MP3 is close by =D I'm lazy >< |
     |
| I have to read in silence. I somehow loose concentration on the page and instead focus on the song. Same with reading books, playing video games (other than the games own sounds) and drawing. |
     |
| If the manga is quite serious then I'll probably wont listen to any music. But if its the fun type I'll usually play anime songs that I'm addicted to(dn angel opening, eyeshield 21 opening-dang dang, 2'nd bleach opening, Rozen Maiden Traumend opening, Lovely Complex opening) and probably some hip hop R &B songs |
 |
| I don't. If I wanted it to come with music I would watch the anime; otherwise I find it to be a distraction and would rather absorb myself in the story. |
| Yer, I do but most of the time I tune out and dont hear what song is playing..... |
The Coolest Cats in Town  Hikaru + Kaoru = Brotherly Love |
| I don't for the same reason I don't listen to music when reading a book... I want to be engrossed in the story line and don't want to think of the song. |
| I suppose I should be upset, even feel violated, but I'm not. No, in fact, I think this is a friendly message, like "Hey, wanna play?" and yes I want to play. I really really do. |
| I really like to listen to music while listening to manga. I mean, even though it's my favorite manga I have this very short attention span. I keep stopping from my reading to go look for something else to do, but then I return to reading. When this happens I tend to read the same pages/panels over and over again and it really pisses the hell out of me! For some reason though, when I listen to music I tend to continue reading until I finish the volume. Actually I even listen to music while watching anime to prevent myself from sleeping... XD |

mayfly said: pyroxerberus said: Actually I even listen to music while watching anime to prevent myself from sleeping... XD 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 do , i need to do multi-task while doing something , otherwise i cant seem to concentrate /; . |
| I want to, but I can't. My speakers are broken.V_V |
 |
| 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 always listen to music for reading, whether it's a manga or a novel. Mostly enjoy listening to ambient music while reading |
 |
| I just listen to whatever happens to be playing, whatever I'm doing. XDDD |
| Dude i listen to music while i do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. I can only do math while i listen to music.. and manga is no exception.. reading without music is like.. argh ! DX too quiet. I listen to whatever happens to be in my MP3 player *hahaha* |
     |
| i never do anything without music if i can get my hands onto my pc....like when im surfing forums...now...im listening to japanese songs....i pick them out pretty much from animes i have seen before well the only time i cant listen to music is when im watching anime... |
| Oh hell yes I do! ^_^ 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. |
 Beware! For I wield the chair leg of truth! |
| 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. |

O_O hahahahaha... Strange ppl all the way Oo Listen everything while reading manga and it doesn`t distract me^^ |
| Sometimes I listen to music when reading manga but sometimes my mood different and then I can't handle music when reading |
 |
| only when I'm reading online, but I always listen to music that somewhat captures the mood in the manga I'm reading ^_^ |
 |
| 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 |
   |
| hmmm. me. i really wanna listen to music while reading because it lookks like a bg for every pages.. i usually listening classics.. so that's why.... |
   |
| 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. |
| ^_^ |
| I'm always listening to musics, so it's a normal thing to me. |
 |
| 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. |
   |
| I tend to listen to my boyfriend playing some video game. Lately it's Call of Duty 4. Gunfire can be fun too. |
     |
| 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 do everything with music....if i can get my hands on my pc....lol |
| I always listen music while reading manga! |
