XD How could you read all of it that quickly? That's like, 80 chapters!  "If you don't allow yourself to cry, you'll never be able to smile."~Negi Springfield |

well at the begining of the month I was on chapter 180 of History's Strongest Disciple. Now I am on chapter 428. That seems like a lot to me  |

PandaCubCup said: Im reading at least 3 volumes a day, how much do you read and how fast? Do you like to stare at the pictures or a quick look is enough for you Fast. Most pages are sceneries sometimes and it's like, 1 second looking at it, then to the next page. I could probably read 5-10 volumes a day.  |

20 minutes per volume. I can read all day if given the time. Once, I read all volumes of Rave in a day. |

Depends what I'm reading xP If it's mind numbing and simple I'll read it the same speed Adam Sandler created bad films. If it's incredibly interesting like Deathnote or 20th Century Boys I read much slower so as to adsorb every god damn word of those glorious master pieces ;-;  |

kinda depends. If its like action manga with fight scene ( Fairy Tail ) or sport mangas ( Area no Kishi ) then like 2-3 min per chapter. If its more of a detailed then like 5-7 min. And that applies to the 20 page regular ones. If its the oneshot or the first chapter..super long then maybe 10min + |

I find if i read to a manga too fast I might miss something important and forget wht i read already. If im way into it i can read several chapters especilally if i skip over some the word bubbles.  |

I normally read manga at an average speed. I like to look at the pictures that the author has created and I like to take in the information about the characters. If i go too fast, then I end up forgetting parts of the story, and I normally forget the character's names unless I really like them.  |

It depends. Online, I'm quite slow reading because you have to wait ages for the pages to load. However, if I have the volume in my hands, it takes me 15-20 minutes to finish a volume, around 30-40 mins if I read it in great detail. |

Usually about 5-7 min a chapter for me, I often get the feeling that I'm reading too fast, so I make an effort to slow down and enjoy the artwork, but it still seems really fast.  "In both love and octopus-hunting, you have to take the initiative!" - Gintoki Sakata |

Depends. If I'm reading a very action-packed shounen where most of the words are "why you...!" and various other insults thrown around by opposing characters, then I tend to skim a lot of the words and blitz through the chapter. But if I'm reading a very serious weighty manga I tend to read very slowly so I don't miss anything important.  |

It varies depending on how interested I am in the story at that point. For a single series I could probably read an entire volume in one sitting if interested enough, but not much more if any. Normally it is a few chapters at a time. Usually any chapter takes no more than 10 minutes, though I try to read slowly and take everything in. |

Kirito said: I think I average like 1 volume a day. It usually takes me about 45 minutes - 1 hour to read one volume since I don't often spend a lot of time looking at the pictures. I'm trying to slow down a bit lately, so I can really take in every nuance of what the author is trying to communicate in the visuals, but old habits die hard so I often catch myself barely glancing at the images. Thats what my problem is also. Trying to slow down a bit myself. |

Depens on which manga it is. I read Gantz really fast (like three volumes in an hour). But I spent more time on reading Onani Master Kurosawa, because there was a lot more text. Sometimes I just take the time to really enjoy the art, in series such as Mushishi this is really worth the while. 'There are no facts, only interpretations' - Nietzsche |
