| and what do you listen to? for some reason when I read more serious mangas I listen to the song Billy Talent - Surrender. if its a manga that has an anime counterpart, then sometimes I listen to the soundtrack.. anyway just curious >_> |
| if i remeber to put on the music, i listen to w/e i feel like listening to on repeat. Right know, i'm either listening to Kanon ED, Seto no Hanayome OP, sola OP, Nodame ED1, and a few others. |
 |
| Nope, I usually don't do it. I went through a phase where I read books with music, but never manga.. Now I can't read either with Music.. I get distracted xD |
| I only listen to music when reading books. I watch tv when reading manga. Weird, but I just sit there on the couch while my dad's watching tv, I'm reading. Background noise, I can't deal with silence…>.>; Most of the time. |
 |
| I like to have music on when I do, if I'm in a situation where I can. I usually just listen to whatever tho'. |
 |
| If i'm reading anything i gotta have music on, if not i won't get "bored" but i just end up doing other stuff, distracted lol. Listen to different stuff, depending on the time being. |
| LMAO... I don't know how y'all read ANYTHING with music or the TV on. If I'm reading, I need to concentrate on what I'm reading... so I need almost complete silence. Music and TV are just a distraction. |
| music keeps me calm xD |
| Berserk + Tool = win :) |
| nah, my manga needs my undivided attention ^^ |
| Sometimes, when it goes with the particular manga/book I'm reading. I can multi-task fairly well, so I don't find it a distraction ;) riraito said: if its a manga that has an anime counterpart, then sometimes I listen to the soundtrack.. Same here. |
 |
| i do. i dunno why, its very annoying, but I just do it. |
| Me does! Me does! I do not listen to anything in particular though, I just fire up my Winamp and play whatever playlist is there... |
| Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. When I do I just listen to whatever I feel like at the time. |
 |
| I also have to have some kind of noise in the background when I read anything, anywhere from the sound of my teacher talking about something in school (I do most of my reading during class (only got yelled at once, lol) but I can't do that anymore since I am out of highschool) all the way to music or the TV. Without background noise, I just get bored and do other things, as Aokaado said. |

Kanashimi said: Eh, I'm always listening to music so whatever is on my playlist... out of the 8,000 or so songs I have. xD Same here. Just replace the 8 with a 2 for me though ^^ |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Meh, I usually prefer to read in silence. |
| i always liten to music...even while i sleep unless i'm watching anime winamp is always on, not used to get distracted while reading manga and listening music, and seems like i haven't change my tastes of music in the last 5 years lol...i don't remenber what i watched before gundam seed (yea . evangelion lol) but gundam seed its the first 30 songs on the winamp , well they are too many to name them all . if you care that much take a look at my last.fm profile , (guess the last ones added there don't appear unless i'm listening that) |

I listen to music often if I'm browsing the net, reading manga, driving, etc. but if I'm trying to do anything else I have to be careful about what sort of music I choose. At work, for instance, music always distracts me unless it's purely instrumental. Lately I'm stuck on Muse's new album. |

Just replace the 8 with a 2 for me though ^^ replace that 2 for me with a big fat 16 thankies ;) and I listen to music because I hate silence. Music really helps my thoughts to flow and my mind to focus = better manga reading experience. |

| I can't concentrate when music is playing. Then my concentration jumps to the music. So yeah, I need my silence. :D |
| I NEED MUSIC! IM AN MUSICOHOLIC! Well, the computer speakers are always playing either an anime play list or game music play list. Need it for total relaxation! |
      |
| Depends, if my family is making too much noise I always read with music. But at all other times I read without, easier to focus on the reading instead of singing along. |
| I listen to music during any reading usually. |
 |

| 30 seconds to mars is pretty good |
| I like music but I must read manga in silence. If I read it in front of the TV or with music on I always have to read it again because I can't pay attention. |
I've Been Watching Anime for 20 years now. Can you beat that? |
I listen to music when i`m drawing, not reading. If i`m reading my LOVELESS, i don`t want anyone talking to me & no doubt stupid MUSIC distracting me! But if i`m reading an actual book, i`ll find some classical music. But for a novel, never manga. |
 |
| I usually try to listen to music from the anime series to get me into the manga a bit more. If I don't have music from the series, I usually listen to some japanese/anime songs I have in a playlist. Let's me concentrate and gets me into the act when reading. |
| I don't think I ever listened to music while reading manga. But I listen to it when I write so doing that while reading manga would be good. As long as it fits the mood. And if I did it would a anime soundtrack. |
  Thanks to Iri for the awesome Signature!! ^^ |
| I listen to music while reading. the music depends on the genre. if it's action, i listen to j-rock. if it's suspense, i listen to classical music. |
    |
| ^same here....I'll also listen to some videogame tunes as well |
| I listen to the music related to the anime of the manga im reading. so right now im reading death note so I listen to the new soundtrack and the opening and ending themes. |
 |
| When I read manga then I listen to BGM, it's more relaxing to read that way |
 |

       |
| Usually when i read manga i don't listen to any music, because i just can't concentrate... -.- But last time, when i was reading Love Monster i had the ending from Lovely Complex playing, and it suited quite well ^^ |
  |
| I would but I can't seem to concentrate as much then. |
    |
| Usually varies. Sometime read manga with music, sometimes don't. But then again, i don't read lots of manga! Well, i just listen to whatever is playing at the time. Most of the time though i am listening to Muse, Billy Talent or some SGX. |

| I know what you mean, but sometimes I like listening to music while I read just because it's more fun. depending on the manga, i try to listen to music that sorta fits it's tempo. lol then again sometimes i catch my self singing to the music and not reading. |
 |
| I always have some sort of music going when I'm reading. Music never bothered me unless it really out there compared to the manga/book. I rarely use vocal music. I got a bunch of background sound from various sources. I usually choose one folder and let it rip. If I choose the right songs and at the right moment for any kind of reading, the experience will become ten times better. The most recent example is with the Haruhi novel on volume 4. Really made my day. |
| generally...yes I do, but I try to keep the volume softer so I don't get distracted. Instrumental goes better though |
 |
| haha this thread is so cute i love all the "i can't listen to music when i read manga or else i can't concentrate!" replies i find that so weird, i mean i've done it before, but silence isn't something i find enjoyable. if i'm gonna read manga in silence, i'd much rather enjoy it outside in good weather (but not really in the city) else i have to have some kind of music playing |
| I need music to concentrate on the manga. I just can't seem to focus on the manga when there's silence. I don't know why but.. well, with music it's just so lively. (: But there is a limit of music genre I listen to. If it's upbeat and loud, I lose concentration on reading so I listen to slow, sentimental ones. ^^ |
