For me it depends, if the manga is really interesting and has me hooked, then i'd most likely finish it within a day. But if it's a manga that i can take my time with, then yeah .

I can typically read a chapter every 5 minutes, given the norm. Heavy text manga such as Bakuman typically take me 10~15 minutes.

Since I read them in another language, I'd say I read very slowly. If speedy, I can read through 2 to 3 volumes a night. But, usually I get through about 1 or 2 on a regular reading interval. Sometimes, I even read only a chapter or so in one day's time.

If I'm reading an English-translated manga, then it takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete one volume.

I read mangas and novels very fast, mangas like half an hour - forty-five minutes a volume, novels like 100 pages per forty five minutes.

Edit - my speed's increased substantially ever since I conciously started trying to decrease the amount of time I spend on reading mangas.

Takes me about 30-45mins to read a volume (depending on how my internet speed allows). Heavier texted or illustrated manga take me longer. Or if I want to appreciate the art, I take longer obviously.

I can't read fast, but I have plenty of time per day(around 12-14hours). The amount of what i read is big because of that.

I think I'm a fast reader, I can read in 1/2 hour for one volume except for detective manga like liar game or Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo. These manga really take a lot of time to read and understand it. 😐

for manga, i slow down.

i finish 300-ish pages book, full with contents worth paying attention, in about 6 hours. might even faster nowadays. but for manga, i slow down so much! around 15 minutes for short chapter of manga i currently like, or 30 minutes for long chapter. for manga i just read for the hell of it, 3 minutes per short chapter, 6 minutes per long chapter.

technically, i'm just average. but the more exciting the story is, the more faster i read.
i do i finish a manga title, long or short, as soon as possible. no matter how many chapters/volumes, maximum of 3 days 🙂

Generally yes, seems everyone consider reading 1 volume of manga for 30-45 minutes is fast. So yes, i'm a fast reader. There are some series though like Detective Conan that I need more time to finish it (1 hour).
For novel, it depends on the theme or the story, if it's interesting i can't stop reading it. I finish Memoirs of Geisha for one night, Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, etc much faster than people around me. I don't really like romantic novel, too easy to guess. But when i read a romantic novel, i read in incredible speed. The fastest I read is Twilight series, flip over pages.. doing scan reading, and read only the last page :lol:

In English, I think I'm sort of fast... I can finish a 20-page chapter in about 10 minutes. But if I read in Japanese (I'm still learning), I'm extremely slow; it currently takes me about 90 minutes per 20-page chapter (with furigana--if it was without, I'm sure it'd take much longer). I have to stop multiple times per page to look up words I haven't seen before, and it takes me longer to process the sentences. But even so, I'm still kind of surprised that there's such a huge difference... oh well.

It depends on the amount of words per page

It really depends on the storyline. If it's really boring, I'd usually just stop reading it. But if it's really interesting, I can read about 30 chapters with 30-50 pages each chapter.
