It depends to be honest. If it's a suspenseful series where I must know what happens next - I will finish in hours. BUT if I love it and don't want it to end too quickly I will take my time. But on average it'll only take me a few hours. I'm a fast reader and with manga I can finish a volume in 20 minutes or less depending on the content.

Really depends on many things mmm...

1. How interesting the said series is?
2. What kind of manga is this, is it story driven or kinda slice of life that has random stories here and there?
3. Do I really need to know what comes in the next chapter ASAP?
4. How tiring is this manga to read through?

If the manga is interesting then it will only take a few hours and not two days. In the situation that I go looking for something to read, it will mean that I have the time to read it in one go.

6 volumes? A few hours. I re-read berserk from right after the Golden Age, to the current chapter, in one evening. A 6 volume series is easy.

For me, weirdly enough, reading speed is inversely proportional to interest. If it's something I just want to finish reading for the sake of finishing it and to see what happens at the end, and I don't have much emotional or intellectual investment in it, I finish faster. If it's something I love, I go through it slowly and carefully, returning to re-read parts, stopping to think about the story, etc. So it takes me longer.

That being said, a 6-volume series would take me a maximum of a week, regardless of content, and a minimum of 2 days. Unless I was unusually busy, in which case it might take 2 weeks.

If I'm not busy, a few hours. I like to find completed series and read them all at once. I have a pretty poor memory, so sometimes I'll start a story at night, and when I go back to finish it the next day I've already forgotten what was happening. It's best for me to just read it all at once.

Speed through it in a day or two. 1200 pages of (quality) manga? See you in 90-120 minutes.

On chopsil´s question. I vastly prefer manga if both products are comparable, as the anime medium has more drawbacks in the end.

Depends on writing, mood and genre. Most stuff like action and comedy is straight forward and often simple dialogue so I blow thru that in a day easy. Kingdom, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, or something like Bleach (with big panels and closeups)? Pfft, easy.

If its more psychological like Aku no Hana (the flowers of evil) or Boku wa Mari no Naka (Inside Mari) then its better to read a volume at a time to absorb the mood and pay attention to the dialogue. Some slice of life, but not all is about mood and dialogue so better to go slow. If its action-horror (Gantz) fast, if its more creepy psychological horror (Uzumaki) slower. Comedy-horror like Franken Fran that is more episodic I only take in small doses so much much longer.

So for me how involved the writing is and the type of genre really effects speed of reading. It could be a day or a couple of weeks to get thru. Really there should have been extra choice in the poll like "it varies".

Even if the series fully absorbs my interest, it would stay in my backlog for a while.
Looking in my reading/on-hold lists, there's a good number of fully scanlated series I have yet to finish. I just get pre-occupied with other manga, usually if it's being released on a weekly/monthly basis, and school/work to fully commit my time to read them.

Depends on the title and my interest. A day or two if it's not heavy on dialogue.

Frankly I think I can read a chapter with around 50+ pages for 20 minutes. I tried using a timer. I'm amazing aren't I? I haven't crossed age 15 yet and English isn't my official language also...^o^

For me it's always a matter of minutes/hours. Im the kind who's always ready to pull all-nighters if you know what I mean ...
I would easily finish a 6 volumes serie within an evening

Depends on the type of Series and quality of the plotline.
On average for manga/manhwa/manhua (/webtoons), it's less than a day while maintaining my other daily activities and 4-7 days for Novels.

I either speed through it in a short time or I don't read it at all. If I start it then I finish it then, else I won't go back since it wasn't good enough to finish.

I mostly do my reading at work now, so I'd give about a week. If I was during my free time it would easily be a day.

depends on what genre it is i guess

normal shounen volumes take like 15 minutes to read
so 15x6 min + with a short paus between each maybe so 2h or something like that


more...wordy comics usualy take longer becouse you get bored by all the reading i feel
if i wanted to read a book i would have

pretty fast if I tend to like it quickly. Depending on the genre I can finish it within a few hours. Once I start a good manga its hard to stop until its done hahahaha

Just a few hours for a 6 volume series :3

It depends if the serie is easy to read, like not too much text and a story not that deep. And if i have free time or can stay up almost all night haha. But mostly it has to be interesting. But if i really love the manga i would read it fast and later read it again really peacefully lol .

6 volumes? Completed?

I'd finish it in.... about 2 hours, maybe a bit more...
