Used to be an 8 but I think it's gone down to a 6 or 5 now. I don't read it or watch anime as much as I used to. I don't know much about the new titles or I find out about them later laugh Now I just read One Piece and Naruto each week so...it's been like a couple of months since I've read a whole volume of mangas. I found other hobbies & school keeps me busy shy

Probably around a 5 just going off the limited number of manga I've read; I can usually figure out the plot of a new manga in a few chapters though.

If you factor in my anime knowledge of probably a 10 ( I use to watch just about anything I could find in my high school — early college days ), then my overall manga+anime knowledge is probably somewhere around 7.5 — 8.5. I haven't really been reading much manga or watching anime as of recently though...

Bah, maybe a 4 or 5. I've kept up with several series, but I haven't picked up a new series in ages. I'm not as "active" a reader as I was a few years ago.

Hmm, 8-10 for me. I read any genre (though not that much yuri lately), so I think I'm pretty familiar with manga. My weak point is mangaka names. I've read hundreds of manga, but I can only remember a dozen of mangaka names at the most. Well, I have trouble remembering names in general, so...Speaking of which, I also tend to forget character names unless there's something about them that makes me remember. I also sometimes forget manga title names, but much less often.

Other than that, I'm a pretty avid manga reader. I like reading online, but I have a somewhat-ish large collection of about 300+ volumes. I love doing in-depth interpretations of what I read, and I read for hours daily. Most of my waking hours are spent on the computer, and most of my computer time is spent reading manga, so, er...

Lemme see, I'm probably 5 - 7, maybe? I mostly read Romance, Ecchi and Comedy stuff, I love funny stuff and ecchi.
I've only read about 40 titles, but I can't remember all of them so definitely nothing above a 8.

Honestly.. probably a 5 or 6. Although I've read a lot.. but it's only certain genres. I don't read many shounens or seinens, but I'm trying to do that more now. But I do have a knack for recognizing art, but yeah that's pretty much it.

um... probably 7. I've read every genre in a manga at least once (only once for the ones I HATE!)
For the ones with the genres I like, I read hundreds of them...

Quote from Alaena Night
By titles I've read, I'm probably maybe a... 6, 7 - but maybe a 4 or a 3? I've read/watched significantly more than 100 series. I haven't been counting... I avoid a lot of the mainstream titles, though. If we're going by knowledge about the genre and style and history of manga, I'm about an 8. If we're talking how much I know about one piece, I'm a 0. >>;


Thanks you for the post.

I don't know, maybe 7? biggrin , but I for sure did read a lot laugh laugh (check my list)

I prefer seinen actually, but nowadays I'll read anything good, can't be too picky, or else I will nothing more to read.

none hmmm I guess around 6 I read quite a few but there are still genres I didn't try yet. As for the plot the day I'll be able to predict the plot of a manga after a few chapters will probably be the day I stop reading manga altogether. biggrin

I have a large knowledge of niche aspects of manga, such as the Gekiga movement, or underground mangaka and magazines. I try to keep up-to-date with the manga publishing industry in particular; as someone who aspires to be a comic creator in years to come, it helps to know what's going on in the comics world.
Asking me to suggest a good manga to have come out in the past few months is an altogether different story though, hahah!
