I sometimes do if the game includes relatively obscure controls or themes.
The latest manuals I've found useful in any way were those from Persona 3 FES, and Gungriffon Blaze.

Persona's manual not only includes the typical pages introducing the characters and controls, but also a chart helping in known what results you will get from fusing particular personas together.

Gungriffon Blaze has a relatively obscure control layout to begin with, and so the manual helped alot. At the same time, near the end of the manual it gives out information including maps, short briefings, and primary objective locations of each mission in the game, so it's really a built in strategy guide.
