Im reading at least 3 volumes a day, how much do you read and how fast?
Do you like to stare at the pictures or a quick look is enough for you

I think I average like 1 volume a day. It usually takes me about 45 minutes - 1 hour to read one volume since I don't often spend a lot of time looking at the pictures. I'm trying to slow down a bit lately, so I can really take in every nuance of what the author is trying to communicate in the visuals, but old habits die hard so I often catch myself barely glancing at the images.

I once finished 7 volumes in like 4 hours... . w .
I just take my time reading the bubbles and pictures... I don't rush through it. xD
I guess it sorta depends on the series, like weather it's good or not, and how thick the manga book is... Urm, Idk, but usually 4-5 manga books a day. xP
If the series is that long, that is. And it also depends weather I'm reading online or if I just have it in my hand. Usually goes slower online... . A .

I'm much too slow, as it takes me usually 2-3 days to get through one volume.

Hm, these days I'm reading around 2 volumes a day or so, because I can't find any longer manga that are good that I haven't read, but I'm capable of reading about 10 volumes a day if I like the plot. I usually glance over a picture before reading the bubble corresponding to it; of course, I slow down if there's a really important event going on in the story. I think my overall record was W-Juliet in a day, which was 14 volumes, I think. :o

It depends. If I have a volume in my hands, I can read at least ten a day. If I am reading online, it can take almost a week just to read one volume.

Depends on the manga.

Some have very long dialogues especially detective and mystery manga while some are Bleach like, where you can read a chapter in a minute or two.

Depends on how I read it - if I buy it I'll take more time absorbing it. If I don't buy it (i.e., library, scanlated, etc...) I just read it as fast as I can. I finish a few Volumes a day.

Normally I could read up to 3-4 volumes of manga per hour when i had the real thing with me (i tend to read alot ever since i was in secondary school) and usually would only read 50 chapters at most per day if i had to read it online..

Typically, I read about (on a marathon) 30 daily chapters (15-20 pages). On holidays I read 120 though.
But that's when I'm rushing it. If the images are real good (negima for example), I go back to the best pages just to really see them (as opposed to look).

I have no problem with 10-15 volume when the manga is catchy and you just have to read more and more and faster and faster... but I'm trying to control myself and read more slowly cause that's the way how to enjoy it!

Pretty much. I'm usually slow, because I want to fully understand and enjoy what I'm reading/watching, but if I'm very absorbed by it, I might finish it in an heartbeat.

If i have time and I'm really into it - even 200 chapters at a time (this happened with Fairy Tale). But that happens very rarely and only because I know I won't have time to read later.

Everytime when I start reading a new manga i'm desperate to catch up to the latest chapters where everyone is and I tend to read quite fast..but once I'm on the latest chapters I read it slowly coz I don't want it to end =__=
now I have to wait a week or sometimes a month on a new chapter to be out.

I'm a binge reader. I save up for a while and just blitz on the manga. I read pretty fast when it comes to those days, finish a couple manga/catch up on all the ones i'm currently readin and start the process all over.

Binge, then pay it no mind.

For me it depends how much I'm enjoying the series. If its alright, I'll end up reading a few chapters or a volume before having to take a break to do something else, tv, games, life, etc. But if its a GREAT series, something I'm REALLY enjoying, I'll probably end up reading from the moment I wake up till I have to sleep, hundreds of chapters a day.

Probably one volume per hour. It gets faster if I'm reading something that has a lot of fighting with less dialog.

if i feel like spending the time then i can read three to four volumes a day depending on the length of the chapters and also how many words are on each page because if there is a lot then i think i dont want to read this much and itjust makes me read it even slower.............. anyway ya lol

Whenever I buy Manga, I can get through an average sized volume in about 20-30 minutes, but I suppose it also depends on whether the Manga has a lot or dialog or not. How many depends on my mood, there was one day were I got through 14 volumes in one sitting. It's amazing how much Manga I could get through when I was bored and had nothing to do.

I read it in 1,5 days.Had to take a sleep after 169 chapters (21 volumes ?).

I think I read something like 1-3 volumes in an hour.Depends how much text to read.Am not trying to make records, am enjoying da manga.

Usually read something like 20-100 chapters a day.

10-30 minutes for all but the most wordy volumes. Volumes per day seems like a kind of silly question to me because that has more to do with free time than reading speed.

I can read about 400 chapters quite easily a day and I'm starting to read it faster and faster. I usually have a reading speed of about 2-4 minutes/chapter of a weekly manga and 8 min at most of a monthly manga or one that i really love. I have days though, when I don't read any chapters at all.
