  If I'm at a coffee shop or restaurant that has manga on the shelf, I'll browse and read an issue. One series that a female friend my age recommended to me is セイント☆おにいさん, and I have a chuckle when I get a chance to read them. An oldie, but I like 銀河鉄道９９９, available in Japanese and English. Occasionally, I read manga online, but most of my sustained print Japanese content/language reading is fashion and housekeeping magazines at the hair salon!

  I don't myself, but my son is really into it! Right now his favorite is Dragon Ball Super. I definitely think that manga is a good way to get kids interested in reading, so I'm a big fan of it in that respect.

  Yes, I read manga. My favorite manga is One Piece, because One Piece accompanied my youth until now.

  @achmadz my son quite likes One Piece as well but some of the imagery definitely leans towards the fan service side of things, which I'm not very fond of!

  Yes! I'm currently rereading the Old manga, はちみつとクローバー. Waiting for the next volumes of a few current series. I can't choose just one favorite but the illustrations in わたしの幸せな結婚 are Beautiful. のだめカンタービレ is hilarious and there is also an animation and drama version.

  @achmadz my son is a big fan of One Piece, so I see it sometimes when he is watching it! Thanks for answering. I hope you might find some of the other new questions of interest, cause I'd love to hear your opinion on other aspects of Japanese life. :)

  @genkidesu my son loves Dragon Ball too, but he doesn't read as much manga now as he did when he was smaller. My eldest daughter, a teen, reads manga often.

  @TonetoEdo I do the same - browse them when they are in a restaurant etc. I quite like to do it when I am in a tea shop or lounging in a hot spring recreation area, which isn't very often! I am not familiar with either of the manga you mentioned; I'll keep an eye out for them on my next hot spring visit!

  @helloalissa sometimes I just look at the illustrations and don't read the words! My reading / writing lecturer in University recommended we read them when I was first learning Japanese. It was a good / useful tip. Far easier to read than a novel!
