Honestly it's just until recently I find it fun to read manga while listening to music when I read Solanin (iirc) while listening to Mumford and Sons' songs.
It's good that I'm not yet familiar with the lyrics of the songs or I'll go sing along instead of reading the manga. But as it turned out fun, somehow lift up my energy to read the manga and may help setting the mood when the song is compatible with the mood of the manga, I might want to make it a habit. Perhaps next time I'll have instrumental music, preferably acoustic, I think.

I usually listen to a song I've heard a bunch of times so I don't get distracted in listening to the words. It's usually pretty low. Post-Rock songs really fit with my mood while reading every manga especially manga with emotional themed.

I usually listen to music without lyrics cause I easily get distracted and find myself on some page and don`t know what has happened on the pages before...

But when I start reading a manga I like to listen to the opening song of the anime, so I get better into it.

Since I mainly just read titles that I've previously seen as anime, I listen to the soundtrack of the anime while reading.
I'm a douche. Deal with it.

If it has a show, then I usually listen to some BGMs or instrumental intros/outros. I tried reading JoJo once with appropriate music, but it didn't work that well haha. In the end, the only part where I listened to some specific songs was the final arc of Diamond is Not Crash, Killer Queen and Another One Bites The Dust.

I don't listen to music while reading manga; though I always place myself somewhere with a noisy background.

I don't listen to music while reading manga or any other book. It just really distracts me, and I won't really pay attention to the story.

the first times i read manga, i used to listen to all kinds of music from artists/songs! like cupcake song, hiphop sad ones/happy ones&techno....all depending and fitted for the manga i read..... then i with the years and days listened more to all sort of anime tracks&game&movie ones....

if u read naruto i always put on something fitting and switch song depending on the circumstances at the manga..if it's tense! i used to put on a kcik you ass naruto ost, if it was a sad moment i would put a sad naruto ost...Today i don't read much manga...but i've read at least soemthing this year that was horror...then i put on some creepy songs/themes/osts like tracks from dead space, fe.a.r, higurashi naku no kora ni, corpse party^^

Completely depends on the manga, I usually try to avoid any song that has speaking though since I "assign" every character voices and music with lyrics in it will disturb the dialogue kind of ... if that makes any sense.

I think anime music is the best. Or just music which you like ;D When it's sad manga - sad songs, when it's action, mecha manga - rock music. Something like this. I rarely listen to music while I read manga, it's a little bit disturbing for me - I can't concentrate on one thing xD

Listen to Chiaki Kuriyama. It's what I listen when I'm reading manga. Her songs are awesome. Especially Shinkai (深海; Deep Sea) and Seishun no Mabataki (青春の瞬き; Moment of Youth)

When I read manga's I prefer J-pop but usually their OP/ED of anime's I have watched. I also listen to vocaloid a lot. And sometimes I listen to Rock music it gives the manga more feels.

Here's my playlist with some songs :3

Btw sometimes my songs get deleted randomly so I have to add them back and sometimes they say error but you can just search it upon YouTube or something.

Symphonic Gothic metal usually, sometimes Nu Metal

If I'm listening to OST's or things like that I get distracted and pay more attention to nostalgia.

Hmm, I always found myself listening to songs I've associated with AMV's, meaning most rock songs such as.

  • Three Days Grace
  • Thousand Foot Krutch
  • Skillet
    I often find myself some good reading music whilst searching for Naruto/Bleach AMV's.
    Well, I do mostly read action that's what I enjoy.
    Then again - Calm music such as : Behind Blue Eyes by The Who is amazing as well.
    It's all depending on my mood and what manga.
