It takes at least an hour for me to finish one volume. I often loose track of what's going on and have to reread several pages to make sure I got it all correctly.
I'm pretty much exhausted after 2 volumes.

It's funny because as a young teenager I could read 10+ volumes a day with no problem.

About 20 minutes/volume for hardcopy and about 30 minutes/volume for softcopy of something I haven't read before. If it is a re-read, I'll need about 5 minutes/volume for hardcopy and 20 minutes/volume for softcopy.
And I need about 1 hour/volume for comedy manga (Kariage-kun, The Nurse, etc) because it makes me laugh between each story.

It is easier for me to remember what I read when I take a quick look at the whole page than to read it word by word, so I mostly only have a quick look at the page.

Usually depends if im in the mood or just got nothing to do. If I have full 9 hours after school and no homework than i can read up to 10 volumes or more, i think. If more than 9 hours then i guess 14 or more.

If it's a shonen, I can read it pretty quickly. But if it's a shojo, which are usually more dialogue heavy and have more pages than regular manga, it takes some time.

Depends on how much dialogue there is.

But it usually takes me about 30-40 minutes to get through a volume.

It also depends if manga is good. If it is i read cca. 20 - 80 chapters per day. If it's bad i close the window. :-) There are also days, when i don't read manga at all. (if i don't have time or am lazy).

I'm super busy all the time and move around a lot so I never can read as much as some of you guys haah.
If I realllllly love it and not lazy then just 1-2 volumes in a day. If I don't care about it or get bored I close it or if I deciede to read it then maybe a week...

i read 16 volumes or 135 chapters of Cage of Eden in a day in a half… i tend to read them so quickly that until i hit as many chapters that are released i can't let them go.

i've pretty much done the same thing with all manga/light novels but Cage of Eden is the most recent and i think largest reading i've done so quickly haha

It really depends on what kind of day it is.. If I have loads of free time, then I can read about 200 chapters in one day. If I don't have much free time(which usually is the case), I read roughly 15-40 chapters. :)

It depends on how well the art is :

I spend a TON of time (uber slow speed) reading sailormoon, shugo chara and full moon because the art is soo beautiful.

My speed while reading manga's like skip beat, and i give my first love to you , is medium - slow. It get's slow when a SUPER hot bishie drawing comes up and I take my time to check him out :P.

My speed is fast for manga's like fairy tail and pretty face. I just whizz through the pages because the art isn't as appealing.

Depends on the series actually. I mean I read the entire first volume of Air Gear in like a half hour give or take. When I get really into the story the only thing stopping me is if I've downloaded enough for me to read.

If it's action manga, it'll probably take one hour or so. If it's wordy (Bakuman, Death Note), has 50 pages per chapter (Sailor Moon) OR is an omnibus (Cross Game) it might take between 2 days and one week.

it really depends on what I am reading! if it is something new, I could read a couple of books per day, if I have the time for it! but if it is something I have read a lot, I might just read by the bedside, and finish within a week or something, because I only read a couple of pages each time I pick up the book XD

I'm slow, very slow. It can take me months and months to finish a 50-70 chaptered manga. Sometimes even years.

About 40 chapters a day.

Mainly because I only read manga while on the train to school/during my free periods.

Depends on the length of the chapters also. Some are 19, some are 53.

Ya, definitely this. It usually depends on the quality and length of the chapter. I typically average about 10 chapters per day as I spent most of my time on anime lol

I read 1 volume in 1 hour. If I read a book at the same size of the manga, I can read it in 45 minutes. What I'm trying to say is that I pay a lot of attention to everything in the manga.

I don't know how people do it, it takes me at least 15 minutes to read a chapter no matter what, I have a horrible habit of just staring at the page for no real reason, and if I turn the page I sometimes go back thinking "wait I might have missed something!". I don't know why, but it makes reading manga a struggle.

Depends, but usually like 3-5 minutes a chapter. Long chapters, maybe like 7-8 minutes. I do go back a page sometimes just because I think I missed something, so it might take a little longer. But sometimes there are only like 9 pages in a chapter and that takes about a minute or two to get through.

It depends on what I'm reading... shonen manga don't usually have many dialogues, so I read them faster than shojo/BL. However, in general I read manga in 30/45 minutes.

Depending on the length.

But normally, it takes me about 20 minutes maximum to read one chapter, including me admiring the drawings half the time of course XD

Depends on how interested I am in the story I guess.

When I read Dusk Maiden, it took me almost half of a day just to read 30 chapters, but when I read Mirai Nikki I finished all 59 chapters in under 4 hours.. so yea, it depends. o_o

It takes me usually about an hour and a half a volume... so I read about 1 a day in my spare time. I try not to go too fast so I can look at the art and get a better feeling for it. Maybe that's the newbie in me

I like to take my time, so I can do a 14-18 page chapter in 25-35 minutes....but it really depends which manga it is. It takes even longer if I decide I want to play music while I reread it to emphasize any moments begging for bg music.

Woah, the manga I was referring to was Negima, too! XD How could you read all of it that quickly? That's like, 80 chapters!
