Anyone Else Listen to Music While Reading Manga (...or is it just me lol)?

[Scotty Scotty]

I was rereading the first volume of "Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai" while listening to "Phantasmal Jokers" from "Mickey Mania". I flip-flopped between the SNES, Genesis and Sega CD renditions after finishing each chapter and ultimately that the Sega CD version of the song best suited a horror series like Kaya-chan.

I either try to pick songs that fit the atmosphere or just something random so I'm not bored. I remember reading "Miracle Girls" while listening to "Boo Night Fever" from "Paper Mario: Sticker Star".

I do, I'd go with my playlists usually but sometimes I'll put on nice bgms from the anime adaptations of whatever I'm reading.

I never really though about it. Maybe I should do that next time, when I read a manga.

Yesterday I was listening to the Initial D Extra Stage soundtrack while... reading Initial D

Same! I've still got to finish Uzumaki and Tomi. Might have to set up some ambient spooky/desperate silent hill type sound track or something.

I have trouble reading/writing with music playing. On account of my rampant ADHD, attention is difficult for me. So I have to really focus on something if I want to see it through.
That said, I have been trying it recently. When I do, I listen primarily to jazz or specifically the Adachi to Shimamura and VA-11 Hall-A OST.
