| I love listening to music while reading manga, it makes it 1000 times better for me. What about you? |

| Yes, not only does it enhance the experience, but every long manga I’ve read has their own albums/songs i associate with them and I like that for some reason |
 |
| sometimes when the music is right and matching the story. |
 |
| I used to do that a lot, but not so much lately :) |
| I can't. It doesn't let me focus on the reading unfortunately. |
 |
| No, I prefer reading in silence. Music only feels disturbing, and not just for reading. |
| The only time I listen to music when reading manga if I was on a public transport. Apart from that then no I don't listen to music when reading manga. |
 |
| No, it can be distracting and even ruin the atmosphere of the manga if the song playing doesn't suit the scene in the manga since I can't time the songs to particular scenes. |
| yes, I love to listen music while reading manga, it's helping to create a good atmosphere :) |
 |
| Used to do that, but now it distracts me from properly soaking in on the story. |
 -Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind. |
| It's distracting for me to listen to music while reading manga. I can't seem to make it work... The only time it worked was when I read the Demon Slayer manga with this OST. |
 |
| I prefer to read in silence. However it also depends on my mood. Sometimes I do have music in the background. |
 |
| Yes! I listen to MUCC or Mercuro while reading Fire Punch, I recommend it. |
  |
| Yeah but usually music that isn't too distracting like jazz, classical, or ambient, etc basically stuff that isn't too chaotic/loud or has vocals. |
   |
| nah i do not remember doing that when reading manga |
| I do, but only compilations of "relaxing piano" or something similar. I need music to slow down my heart rate, but other than that I prefer to focus on what I'm reading. |
| If I read a manga based on something I already watched. I tend to listen to the OST, of the adaptation while reading |
| Listening to music while reading manga is amazing. 100% yes from me. Makes the music and the manga more enjoyable. |
| No, it's distracting most of the time. I used to let the ambiance of the car or the grocery store or school or wherever I was be the noise I drowned out by imagining the voices of the characters in the manga in my head. Sort of classifying everything you hear as noise and everything you see as light when I used to be crippled by maladaptive daydreaming, which ate up so many hours of the day. |
| Most of the time. If I'm home and it's to quiet than I'll listen to something. Most of time music genre and genre of manga are totally different, but I don't mind because music becomes background noise. Usually I try to listen more instrumental music. Part of me never understands people who must listen specific music while reading manga. Like this is playlist just for this manga, you mast listen to it while reading this manga. It's stupid. Listen whatever you want! |

| @Rissio I understand that, I don't really pay attention to the music after I'm reading for awhile which is good. I don't have a specific manga playlist either, I just play my liked songs on spotify. |

| No, I cant focus on what I’m reading. Maybe there’s a genre of music that works when reading ? |
| Sometimes depending on the manga and how I feel. If the manga is boringish music helps to pick it and and when I'm tired but want to finish the last few chapters music keeps me more awake until then |
Life sucks, then you die |
| Sometimes i listen to a few ost. |
 |
| I always listen to music when reading manga, helps me focus and concentrate better. Also gives me more enjoyment out of reading because I can match the music with my mood and the manga that I am reading at the time. |
| It's weird because I can listen to music while reading a novel but I have a hard time doing it reading a manga. Don't know what it is about it that my brain doesn't like but yup |
❝ They went looking for the gods, and died in lonely places ❞ |
| I don't even "read" manga. I just look at the pictures for my own amusement. |
| Yeah, when I'm reading online. Some random lofi relax/study mix on a low volume. I can't listen to loud music or music with lyrics while reading. |
| I listen to the anime ost of whatever I'm reading |
| I prefer to listen when I'm reading. Depends on what I'm reading like if it gets heavy I stop the music right away. |
| Most of the time yes |
   |
| I hardly even read manga, since there is almost no intellectual content in it. Manga is only good for looking at the pictures and drawings IMO. |
| If i wanna i do, but not necessarily, I keep my headphones on though, i try to match the vibe sometimes with jpop or instrumental but there's times the plot or dialogue gets heavy and the music disturbs or simply doesn't do any good then it's better to shut it off and just read |
| I listened to Bink's Brew when I finished the Thriller Bark arc of One Piece. |
| I tend to listen to music with less/no vocals. Usually something not too loud or energetic. |
| I'm sometimes listening to music while I'm reading, but it depends on if I actually want to listen to music while reading it or if I want to listen to some ceratin songs rn. |
| Never. Sure, combining the mood of a certain manga with the mood of a certain piece of music can be interesting, but it's distracting. I'd rather focus on each separately. |
| Sometimes light music can be soothing when reading. |
|
| Sometimes I like listening to relaxing music while reading but most of the times I prefer complete silence specialy when I need to focus on the plot. |
