| Something that doesn't distractes me too much, mostly music with very few lyrics (if any), like electronic, trance, dance, techno, hardcore, drum 'n bass, chillout, ambient, etc. If the manga has an anime adaptation, I'll listen to the OST, of course. |

 you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear |
| check out Stars of the Lid its extremely minimal and soundscape its awesome to read to with no distractions |
| I like listening to simple plan while reading manga-mainly for action shounen stuff though. |
| Mostly rock music, but it depends on the kind of manga you're reading, of course. Most recent discovering: reading Hajime no Ippo while listening to Rise Against is badass. |
| Classic, jazz, prog/psychedelic instrumentals... Or sometimes metal. Last was listening Pink Floyd while reading Shingeki no Kyojin |
| I prefer complete silence when I read anything most of the time. |
| I couldn't read without music. I usually listen electronica, psytrance or industrial metal since no vocals in most of those.Also video game musics and remixes.At the moment mostly Infected Mushroom. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| I prefer listening to music while reading (manga). Usually I'd listen to whatever's playing or albums that I recently downloaded/bought. |
| I just listen to anything I feel like listening to at the time |
| Sometimes I listen to some instrumental or piano music when reading really dramatic or sad stuff, to kind of increase the emotional impact, I guess. It's fun. I can't listen to songs with actual lyrics when I read, or I'll pay attention to the lyrics and not what I'm reading. It's like trying to listen to 2 people talking at once XP |
| I mostly listen to instrumental music while reading. But what I'm listening to changes all the time. |
| Vocaloids and sometimes anime soundtracks depending on my mood. |
    |
| It depends on the manga and my mood rly. Certain scenes require certain music but sometimes even when I want to lsien to something not rly fitting , in the end it still fits but it gives off a dif feeling which isn't rly bad ! |
   |
| Depends on the manga. I was listening to some battle them from this game called Valkyrie Profile 2 (Never played it) while reading Battle Angel Alita and it fitted soooo well! |
| Haha i know that while i was reading Air Gear i couldn't help but put Up by Justin Bieber on. |
 |
| Mostly while I read manga I listen to some Visual Kei like DEATHGAZE and Sadie. |
| i just shuffle up my itunes by selecting "order by plays" or legnth and listen to that |
| I can read with and without music, but it's always nice (for me) to listen to Tohoshinki/DBSK while reading. If the manga is sad then I put sad ballads of them. I try to listen to the songs that go with the mood of the manga. |
 |
| For the most time I listen to music when I'm reading... like Linkin Park, Muse, NoFX, ORESKABAND... but if it's a comedy manga I prefer silence as I want to hear myself laughing (it's strage, I know) |
 |
| I listen to instrumental epics. Game and movies soundtracks, ect. So whether I'm reading a sappy romance or riveting action I always listen to an orchestral song that's, lack for a better term, epic. It makes it more enjoyable that way. |
| I don't know, when it's a sad manga i usually listen to calm songs, action i listen to a more animated song. I'm picky when it comes to songs 'cause most of the times when i listen to something too much while reading, i start associating the music with the manga. So i like picking something good. |
| i actualy never listen to music when reading manga... it sort of distracts me |
  |
| I listen to what I like at the moment. That can be anime OPs/EDs, metal, rock, etc. I don't choose a specific genre, I can also listen to metal when reading a sad manga xD |

Amberella said: Whenever I read something, I listen to One Winged Angel - Sephiroths theme song. :) I was thinking about playing that song when I walk down the aisle when I get married. <3 Lol. Greatest idea I've heard in a while. But when it comes to Manga I actually have my laptop to play a random assortment of Japanese Band D, Goo Goo Dolls to Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Random and different like me. Lol. Music in general seems to keep me hooked on it and better absorb the story. It' hard for me to concentrate otherwise. |
| Prepare for trouble, Make it double. To protect the word from devastation, To unite all people within our Nation. To denounce the Evils of Truth and Love, To extend our reach to the stars above. Jesse. James. Team Rocket blast off at the speed of Light, Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth, That's Right! |
| Generally, I can't listen to music while I'm trying to do something else - with the exception of casual drawing/sketching. Music is the ultimate distraction for me. |
| Depends on the manga. If the manga is really interesting I dont listen to music, but thats rare. |
 |
| I always listen to music while reading manga so whatever I have playing on iTunes - rock, jpop, kpop, and some other music that I have on my laptop. |
| It completely depends on my mood and what I feel would fit the general tone of the story, but that's only if I decide to listen while I read. On a related note, listening to blues while I read Me and the Devil Blues was pretty satisfying. |
| Depending on the manga im reading, usually from Emotional osts or Battle osts files. Jpop sometimes for more casual music. |
| well,.. i used to listen to piano pieces (mostly by Yiruma) whenever i read mangas,..;D |
 |
| I used to but not anymore i guess it was too distracting for me. |
| Spread your wings and fly. |
| Supercell's album along with piano pieces and metal/post-hardcore music depending on the manga :P |
 "Do you know why snow is white? Because it forgot what color it was." - C.C. |
| Coldplay Or The Script.... alternative rock bands hit the spot for me when reading manga... |
| Do Make Say Think. |
 |
| Depends on the genre. For me, Shoujo- Love or Slow songs (Utada Hikaru/Maaya Sakamoto) Shounen- Rock or Hardcore (Rookiez is Punk'd or LMC or Flow or Orange Range) :D |
| You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down |
| I just listen to everything if I'm really concentrating on the manga. Doesn't really matter for me. :D |
| Anything that fits the current mood of the manga. |
| Pretty much all my favorite anime op's/ed's. And its cool because when I hear one music individually, I can remember the manga I was reading at the time where I was listening to the music as well. |
| For me, finding the right music seems to enhance any emotions I feel from the manga. Listening to music doesn't affect manga reading for me, and I honestly don't see how it could. The problem is finding the right song to listen too. XD |
 |
| If the manga is really interesting and is keeping my attention, I won't listen to music. But on the other hand... if it's not really keeping my attention, then I'll listen to some dubstep. \o/ |
 |
| Anything without lyrics, because the lyrics distract me when I'm trying to read. |
 |
| Nowadays I like listening to metal while reading manga. |
