Nah, not really. I mean, I've gone days/weeks without reading manga just because I was busy with other things or didn't feel like reading manga or was focused on watching dorama, but I've never purposely tried to go without manga.

Same here.

It's from when that guy ate Yotsuba's ice-cream?

Quote from Raeryn

Yes, other things take precedence. I have had a lot going on so I haven't been able to read anything for the past few weeks.

Same for me: if i have something i must work/study hard on, i dont feel like reading/taking time to read manga. When im free/bored, i happily get my preferite series and read them with delight. :3

I agree. Manga is more like a passing enjoyment for me. Study, and especially work, are much more important to me. If I'm at home during holidays and I'm off from work, I'll read manga. Though I am prone to reading manga during the study week before exams when I feel like going on a procrastination binge - especially if I hate the subject I'm studying 🤣

Yup. Went cold turkey for about a month alone in a relative's house with no printed manga, internet connection or alcohol. Tried to fill time with drawing, TV and video games but something happened to me after a couple of days by myself. It's amazing how quickly you lose the desire to shower and wear clothes in such situations.

A couple of weeks ago my laptop broke and the library computers get logged so I can't read manga on them. It was the hardest week of my life, lol.

Seriously though I do sometimes go a while without reading any because I'm busy but I spend far too much time reading, it's the only way I relax. I divide my time between manga and western novels though so with work I don't read as much manga as I'd like. My wish list is a mile long.

Yeah, but it wasn't by choice because my laptop needed to be repaired. So it was at the repair shop for a couple of weeks.

Yes, I've gone months without manga because I got bored of it...I think the longest lasted 6 months...

That was back in the days when I was full-on anime oriented.

Now, a few days perhaps. Weeks, months not so much for my insanity might break.

Intentionally? never. Have I ever been too busy with other things and so forgotten about manga temporarily? yes, but never for more than a week.

It's not like that I'm addicted to reading manga but I feel a little uneasy w/out reading it. Thus, I really like the manga drawings and stuffs so I've ended up reading manga along with having my final exams @.@

I can live without manga in my life, although I prefer to have it in my life it as a hobby/stress reliever/relaxer. I have taken many long breaks in my years of reading manga though.

I have gone without manga for six months or so in 2007 (because of exams, internet problems and manga burnout), and currently reading a few pages once in awhile (I'm in a burnout again for about three months... I just don't feel like reading, but I have a feeling I'll get back soon.)
