It depends for me. It varies from shoujo and shounen also.
Well I read PoT in 3 days. ~130 chapters per day... if I go crazy on it.
But on daily basis, since I have school etc. I read at least 40 chapters of manga per day.

Back then when I was reading Hajime no Ippo, I was a hardcore reader, and I don't really remember but I was pretty much scamming through looking at the pictures and all those stuff.

Oddly, when I read shoujo mangas, it takes forever to finish a manga that is only 21 chapters. It take so long.

It takes me probably 5 minutes per chapter, but I tend to get bored within an hour or two. Unless, it's Noblesse of course.

I think I read way too fast. I think I picked up a tendency of reading fast because I read a bunch of it online where there is a boatload of material to get through especially if I'm just starting a longer series. When I buy manga volumes I still have a bad tendency to read it really fast, which is bad because I can only buy so many per payday.

On one snow day about a month ago when I wasn't doing anything else, I read at least 2 big obnibus Full Contact Edition Tenjo Tenge volumes in one day, that was tons and tons of pages. A few nights ago I read almost the whole Chobits Omnibus Edition Vol. 1 (only 2 omnibus volumes, short manga!) in one night (about 700 pages). I probably started around 7pm and I read until like 3:30am, so that is a solid 8hrs I suppose. So that is 480 minutes total in 8 hrs. So that translates to me reading about 87 pages per hour or 43 pages every thrity minutes, which is still a pretty brisk pace.

Not in school anymore now unfortunately, so I don't have anywhere near the amount of time to randomly spam manga chapters almost whenever I wanted to outside of class since you cant really do that in most workplaces. I never really get to do big chunks of anime watching/manga reading now unless its the weekend (and I'm not out running errands or doing yardwork) or unless I'm on break or vacation.

I think I have a tendency to sort of read manga like novels where I just skim over the artwork and mostly focus on reading dialogue unless there is a dialogue-less panel. I need to start making more of an effort to appreciate the artwork and try to imagine the scene/setting haha.

Depends on the manga. Since I read them in Japanese it can take up to 15 minutes for a chapter. If there are no tricky kanij, then it's faster.

Wow I'm really slow in this regard. I hardly am able to finish reading more than 100 chapters per day. Sometimes it drops down to 80 chapters per day as was the case when I was reading eden no ori. I often re read a part I don't understand until I get an idea what the author means or is trying to say.

When i find a really enjoyable manga, I like to slow pace with it. Mangas that I find "Meh", I just rush it.

Whaaaaat? Did the latest chapter hype you up at 3:30am? Worst time to read a epic chapter when you feel sleepy haha.

Faster than most people I assume

I know my reading speed is higher than most, so I imagine that would translate to manga

Most things I read are relatively short, so I finish them in one sitting

I can typically read one volume in 15 minutes. Closer to 25 if it has a lot of dialogue like Bakuman or Onanie Master Kurosawa, or closer to 10 if the manga doesn't have much dialogue or if I find it boring so I just read it fast so I can get it over with.

I think fast read is kind of an insult to manga. Whatever it is, there surely is something decent within it's plot or art, or setting, or development, or dialogs, etc.. If one does not like the mangf and starts rushing it, he/she'll definitely miss those and will end up having even worse impression of the title, than he already had. Therefore I tend to take things slowly and take my time appreciating this or that aspect of manga.

Pretty sure the manga won't be terribly offended if you start skimming.

As for me, a volume takes around 20 minutes, more or less. I like to skim.

10-15 minutes a chapter. Sometimes less. It kinda depends on how much text, how the art is and so on. I don't really rush through it to be honest.

Reading through this thread makes me realize how incredibly slow I am.

I take about 30 minutes per chapter. Sometimes 15 minutes if I'm in the mood, but I can't help it. One chapter feels like a 24-minute anime episode to me.

I really need to work on this.

About one a day, unless i have absolutely nothing at all to do all day and i'm just siting their reading. If i do that i can probably read 3. I try to take my time though, stretches out that nice feeling of having a fresh new manga in your hands.
