i read alot less since ive read all my preferences haha all thats left to read is shojo,yaoi,yuri,josei(i won't read any). and i would read alot more if there were more scanlated mangas

I read a lot less these days.
Nowadays i only keep reading some fav series that i've been following from years ago or reading oneshots, short volumes series (less time to read).
There was time i got so bored with reading manga, since i have read many and consumed all the good ones. Part of growing up is becoming more picky with your reading and less new manga that can prick your interest -.-

I started reading in the last five years.

Hmm, I wonder who the people are that stopped reading manga, but still come to a manga website.

Started reading manga like two years ago, but compared to the past, the number of new mangas I am picking are far too less.

I read a lot more now

I started to read manga 7 years ago, and around five years ago my manga supply is limited to what my sister/ friend rent from nearby book rental, or when my cousin buy nakayoshi (shoujo mags).

It wasn't until 2 or 3 years ago when my house purchased internet connection, and boom! My reading list increased significantly- especially this year, after my sisters got their own laptop and my computer using time increased.

There are votes for "I stopped reading manga", so...
Stopped reading manga but still come here?
I'm kinda confused

Started reading manga 20 years ago, begun with Lone Wolf and Cub. Needless to say, most manga today are either repetitions of things I have already read or just inferior to past stories. I find perhaps one or two a year the catch my attention.

I read a lot less than what I used to. Maybe it's because I've kind of caught up with most things I want to read, so it's just a case of waiting for releases.
I usually have a binge moment where I read a lot of manga in a few sittings, but even they've kinda died down a bit.

Started reading in 04, really got obsessed over the course of 05-07; then got bored with most of the mainstream ones so I started exploring more mature manga and that kept me busy until like 2011. Now I hardly read anything, aside from re-discovering some classics and an odd new one every now and then.

I read a lot less since now i have read pretty much all the good manga and almost all new manga that are released are pretty much the same as all old manga.
A lot of times in the last 2-3 years i have read a manga that i was sure i had read before, but it was just because i had already read another manga that was almost the same in every way.

I used to read, and buy, TONS of manga. Since I read most volumes in 15-20 minutes I very quickly bypassed what Borders had in stock for the series I would read, and then found various sites that had the manga online. After that, my reading load went up exponentially with me reading almost 50-60 series at one time.
As most of those series got dropped or finished, I had a very hard time replacing them as I had read most of what I could find. Compounded with Borders closing down, and online readers being the big new thing, thus more series were dropped because of those online readers.. it just formed a circle that lost my interest.

I now read about 6 series that I can't find in the U.S. I have about $8k of manga sitting behind me on bookshelves that I re-read every once in a while, but I am really mostly waiting for the few I read to finish. So in the last 5 years? I have all but stopped reading manga completely. Give it a year, and I will be completely done.

And as for people confused about why people who don't read come here? There are forums and stuff, and not everything has to do with manga. We can still appreciate the stuff we read, and many people still look for something that just might be "new."

Lots of sad posts about people getting sick of manga so far.

As for me, I am a lot more involved with manga information, covers, etc. than I used to be, but I think as far as actual reading goes, I've decreased a bit.

I read less manga now, although I still follow my favorite five-six series. I just don't have the time to marathon read 10 volumes+ of manga per day. Nowadays I got a job, while five years ago I was a borderline neet. I had two classes per day during the week and one long class every saturday. Those were the days....

I read a WHOLE lot less now... I go outside and I'm off of the computer a lot of times. With college and my boyfriend and life and everything else... I just don't really care about manga that much these days.

Thinks to my schedule I watch less and less anime over the years and more and more manga. Can easily find manga I want and still have several manga I haven't gotten to yet.

Loving these recent polls- so relevant!

I read a lot less manga now than back when I started- mostly because I have read almost every title within my genre of interest worth reading. There are also a lot less manga in that genre coming out now, and most of the original scanlation teams have died and have not been replaced.

I read a lot less nowadays. I started watching more animu though.

as with everything
it goes in cycles

atm i do not read alot of manga
i am more into Kamen Rider and have been for the last year or 2
so that takes up alot of my time lol

it doesn't make much sense for someone to answer stopped reading unless they watch anime now instead of manga but doesn't make sense for them to come here unless they're just here for their friends....

I would expect anyone who has read manga for five years to read a lot less in the later years, since manga is highly repetitive.

I read a lot less manga now, but after the first 5 years reading manga it increased exponentially. I just don't have that much time now. At last my reading list stopped growing!

I start when I was 6 and 15 years later, I notice I read less and less.
It's just, I already read many that interest me and now,
I am getting picky and higher standard for my read.
It is part of growing up i guess.

Now, I only follow some chapter and a number of read and forgot is more often than not
Reading volumes is better than a chapter every week.
So I tended to leave them untouched for awhile after I read everything available
Of course, I ended up forgetting them. Like I can postpone reading certain manga for years.
Fairy tail, I haven't touch that for like...2-3 years. It's not I don't like it, I like it a lot.
More like, I will wait a bit until there is a volume or so worth, then forgot and never pick it up back for years.

Pick up fairy tail and postponing One Piece. A year or two and then the cycle again.

I read a Lot less overall, but I read quite a bit at once when I do. Or a chapter here and there for things like One Piece or an ongoing series I REALLY enjoy.

My manga consumption is way down. I very rarely read it. I'll go months and months without reading anything. And then I'll read maybe an old series I like. I've been reading manga for 10 years now. It's been a while and I've changed. My standards, my tastes, my patience, and my interests changed.

If you don't find anything good, it's because you don't really bother anymore. After I've stopped discriminiating manhwas, manhuas and certain genres, my reading list grew exponentially.

Trying out new mangas, even though they don't seem interesting at first is part of finding new gems. Even if it means to pick up 20 shitty series at first.

I read scanlations since 2002. Back when Toriyama's World and Mangaproject were the biggest players in the scene. Today I read a lot more, as I have a dedicated app on my phone for my manga needs . Before the dedicated app I only followed a few series though, as it was to much o a hassle to check for updates and searching for the release on the Internet.

At the moment i'm beginning to read more and more manga. There was a little pause just recently, because it was depressing. I have to follow the updates from over 500 manga and that's tiring. But now i'm lustfully (plz don't misunderstand xD) reading again
