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 🤣 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 😳

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.

8.5
Gather my children and listen well
For this is now a tale I tell
Of summer moon and wings of dawn
Of darkest night and pagan song
The man of sorrow with no name
The fires of hell from where he came
The dawn shall rise the scrolls unfold
The cries of newborns never told
The winds of hate shall feed the fear
As deaths shadow looms so ever near
With darkness shall the world unfold
With wrath of hell and Raven bird

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? 😀 , but I for sure did read a lot 🤣 🤣 (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.

😐 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. 😀

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!
