I hear ya. I read (not just manga, but novels, non-fiction, poetry) more for entertainment than for learning.

The reason that I prefer manga over anime is because of the pacing. When I'm reading manga, or books in general, I can read as fast or as slow as I want and can force myself to read at a pace that feels appropriate to what I'm reading. With anime, and movies and other types of TV shows as well, I'm forced to follow at the pace of what the director/writer feels is appropriate.
