According to my complete list, which is fairly accurate, I have completed around 1500. Actually not sure how accurate that number is since I don't bother to include the hentai I read.

But I think this high number is due to the fact that my favorite genre is yaoi, where the average series is only one volume. And its also due to the fact that I try to only read completed series rather than ongoing ones. So my reading list only has 27 series listed.

I also don't understand not counting DJs. I'm not sure of the definition of DJs, but doesn't this just mean that it hasn't been released through an official publisher? I've read DJs that are original, multi-chapter stories by actual mangaka. For whatever reason decided to release the manga on their own. Why shouldn't series like this be included? Well actually I don't see the problem with including all DJs.

Wow I have no idea... only that it's a lot. I fear it's too late to go back and try to remember them all.

Quote from T1
Indeed I fail to do this poll.

What about series that aren't finished but you caught up with?

Also do raw count?

As I said, I fail to do this poll properly.


Indeed what about unfinished series, or series that are dropped by the groups because of a bad ending (or rushed end).

Good thing I separate the oneshots I read. Close to 300 now though some of them are anthologies and short series. To those wondering, for the sake of simplicity, it'd be a good idea to just count those that you've actually finished. So ignore unfinished (including hiatus) and still publishing series, but count complete axed series (only if you finished it though).

Oh oops, misread the poll.Iincluding oneshots I just surpassed the 300 mark

Very few. Most authors milk a series until it's stale, but I guess that's an unfortunate consequence of publisher control and the need to make a living off of one's work. I expect quality will be a lot better when technology advances to a point where people can pursue their passions without the fear of next month's rent (not like people are motivated to go into this business by money or fame).

And I would be tempted to say that groups also drop series too often, but nine times out of ten the series gets stale before they are dropped anyway.

I drop most of the series I read, so I don't finish that many, and among those I finish I'd say most were ones that I read through in one go.

There are 87 titles on my completed series list, but I haven't added many titles there, so I think it's between 100 and 300. Usually I read long series and I'm not a big fan of oneshots.

According to my Complete list it is 405... And i don't read doujinshies... And i don't think i missed anything because I always mark them as complete right after finishing... So 405 it is... Though it may increase a bit during the week, but i will not reach 500 that fast for sure

Probably around 200, I don't add all series I've read to my complete list. I'd probably reach around 500 if series I've dropped would count as well.

Edit: Ok, adding all the 1 volume stuff and counting anthologies I guess I'd reach about 1000. Too lazy to add that stuff to my list though dead

I've read more or less 600, mostly oneshots. Series like Nisekoi that started as oneshot then continued on as a series, I put them in my complete list when I don't like the series continuation.

Ehh?? Not even close to 100. However, I tend to read very long manga, rarely anything less than 10 volumes.

im very zealous in updating all the stuff i read, i update the chapters and when i finished i will make sure to put the rating that i really believe the manga should have. if i really feel for the manga i will put in review. except for the throwaway hentai or shotacon too vile to put in here.

right now i have 1028 in my completed list.

I have 547 in my complete list (I have a separate list for doujinshi, so my complete list only counts manga and oneshots). That number would probably double if I incorporated all the manga I'm in the process of reading. laugh
Although right now I'm in a big fan fiction kick, so that's cutting into my manga reading time. bigrazz

I am quite pleased, I have read more real books than I have manga. Now there is something be proud of, considering how many mangas I have read. I have read more books this year alone, than I ever have manga, and I have read over 200 mangas.
