I became interested in the anime/manga genre sometime in 1986 when, you guessed it, Robotech was on TV. However, I didn't fully invest my time and money in it until 1996, when, you guessed it, DBZ and Gundam Wing first premiered on Cartoon Network. Since then, I've read over thousands of titles and completed as many as one-shots and so forth. In fact, I'm having extreme difficulty going back and trying to remember all the titles I have read and completed. If I have to put a ball-park estimate of how many titles I have actually read (not necessarily completed) it is somewhere in the vicinity of 2-3 thousand.

Wow, you are like a drug addict that put the fault on everyone else, I hope you are kidding.

I've read manga seriously since about 4 years. Before that I've read Dragon ball and that's about all on the manga side.
After that one of my friend shown me bleach and then I start reading lot's of manga and watching lot's of anime.
My list of complete manga list is around 20 or so... not so much in fact...

6 months since I started reading seriously.

I've completed something around 200 series, excluding doujinshi and oneshots.

uhh...I've been reading for...7-8 years...wait uhh around 8 years
and in total I read over 700 different series. I don't really keep track of them... but I know that it's minimum of at least 700 series. I read roughly about 3-8 series a day times let say 7 years. so let say 5 series a day times 2555 equals 12775series/volume(?)...so it's probably around that number

yup, around that much (well last year I did). But these days I'm settling for only 1-2 series a day or anytime I have. I used to have a lot of time in my hand but now i don't. Few years back when I was a avid shoujo/josei/shounen reader. During the summer I would consume insane amounts a day. Thankfully I don't read as much any more

Ah. Ok.

Let's say the average shoujo is 30 chapters with 40 pages. 1200 pages.
Now 6000 pages a day. Extremely possible/Easy, if you're a NEET.
Are/Were you a NEET? <----- This is the whole point of the post.

There aren't even 12 thousand series listed on this website ( with info.) Maybe you can do a public service and add them. ^^
