It's a go-to of mine. Also have a full run of Basara that I didn't pay out the ass for, I got the OOP v20 or 21 for free by emailing Viz, they sent me one they had lying around.

I really like historical manga, I need more of it in English.

Don't work for dark horse but company has in the past. In general if shit doesn't sell then no point for publishers if we are losing money. I work for DMP and in general we try to license one-shots as they are less risk to publish.

I figured it was one or the other.

I like all the Tezuka you guys are doing, bought it all so far. Still pissed that you guys lost ROBOT and Udon hasn't done fuck all with it.

>>112878003
Awesome, with all the hentai and yaoi we have to work on the Tezuka titles are a nice change of pace that everyone in the office likes. Right now I'm doing some work on Captain Ken and can't wait for it to be complete.

ROBOT was quite a bit before my time at the company but it was pretty much one of the reasons Wani hates us so I hear. Funny enough last week because we a have a number of extra copies of the first volume of ROBOT my boss gave me a copy and turns out it was signed by one of the artists.

Going to fan expo on Saturday so I will buy a lot more then

>>112878434
I wish there was some kind of kickstarter for reprints/rescues where people could put in orders. Except for books rather than dollars.

The first goal would be getting the thing to print. Stretch goals would reduce the price of everyone's items down towards the marginal cost rather than adding goodies.

And yeah, anyone getting to order any number of copies, being open to both retailers and end customers.

>>112878252
>Captain Ken
Looking forward to that one, it's the first Tezuka I've bought with no prior knowledge of it at all. Still waiting on The Crater from another Kickstarter, hope the biggest issue is just lots of delays.

Haven't bought any of the digital titles or the hentai yet, neither plunge is one I'm quite up to, though I do enjoy many of the series you have available.
There's no chance of Sweet Blue Flowers, Kimagure, or King of Extreme Cooking going physical, is there?

>>112878725
DMP did Kickstart a reprint of Barbara. I put some money in for it even though I already had one, figured it'd maybe make reprints a more regular thing.

Not pictured is AoT 1-12, 4 volumes of Berserk, first Monster omnibus volume, and 2 volumes of Yotsuba.
No idea what to start getting once I get all of Berserk.

>>112878725
Sounds like an interesting idea, could try and talk with some coworkers about it. Bit ambitious though.

>>112878821
Yeah unfortunately there is no chance of our DMG titles becoming print as quoted from my boss.

But yeah prices are rather steep being a bit of an understatement in my opinion for the digital titles. The hentai we have been coming out with is some nice stuff, lots of cowtits in our catalog but we have started venturing into more unique genres. Some legal choices that have been made I disagree with but upper management makes their own decisions.

>>112878864
>>112878883
Long term goals into the future with Tezuka titles look bright. We are trying to space kickstarters accordingly so as to not fatigue people with them but the president really does want to see his whole library published.

>>112879294
The one with all the eyes on the spine? That's Pluto, a reimagining by Urasawa of a great Astroboy storyline.

>>112879180
>ambitious
Well, yeah. I don't expect it to work without a rich madman at the helm.

There are plenty of details to fill in, but I see it as some manner of web shop where you put objects into your basket/wishlist/whatnot and you get the items when a production run is feasible. Then there's getting the extra customers who only want to jump in when the reprint gets a greenlight, who will reduce the costs for everyone else, I leave that to someone with ideas.

>>112879375
I doubt I will, but I can at least own up to volume 37.

Didn't buy almost anything from last time (just first 3 Blame! Deluxe volumes, some regular series and started picking up PunPun), so no pic.

Saving money for the hell that next three months manly - here in Pastaland Lucca makes the last quarter of the year crowded to say the least.

Also

A pile of these.

Though seriously I have a shelf of volumes, but after spending over $1000 in less than a month I stopped buying physical copies.

>>112879513
No problem.

>flowers of evil
I'm enjoying that one, only two books in so far. Still not sure why the whole style of the covers changes so abruptly, but I assume there's a storyline reason for something so different. I hope there is at least, I get annoyed when a publisher changes the spine design halfway through by changing imprints - I think they do it on purpose.

>>112877343

I just ordered it. I've never even owned a hard copy of any manga before.

I'm jazzed.

>>112879604

on the current one it's just black, but i think there's only one more volume

>>112877198
>>112877088
Good taste.

>>112879375
Yeah bit unfortunate, I would like to see a lot of these titles in print but contractually we will only have digital rights for them and even then the rights aren't permanent. But it is nice that we are able get these title out at all.

>I like your president.
Yeah is a pretty nice old man who doesn't have much interest in the yaoi or hentai but with the oldies like Tezuka titles.

>>112879379
There quite a lot of pressure from those who want our yaoi reprinted. Every con or event where I am selling I always get the same questions about reprints and stories of how older out of print volumes are going for like $300 a book on ebay.

I do like the idea personally, it would be great as I am sure those that are willing to drop a ton of money on an old book could drop a similar to help a greater number of people get that same volume. An issue I do see is that a lot of manga publishers are contracting/losing money and aiming for newer titles rather than looking at the past and thinking about reprints.

Its been fun /a/nons, got to go to bed for work in the morning. Will check back later.

At least you're getting something.

Here 4koma have never been published, comedy/sol is often ignored because doesn't sell enough while we keep getting dozens of generic battle shounen every month that people buy.

What's the point of having one of the biggest localized manga industry around when the variety is absimal and just keeps churning out more of the same?

It's fault of the shit taste of most of readers for the most part, but damnit publishers never even tried to propose something different.

250-300 yen per tank for SAL. A bit less by sea, a bit more by EMS.

English release is omnibus format so it has less volumes but the same content

>that smell and feel of a brand new tank

This seems like the right thread so I need to ask something. I'm too dumb/drunk to make my own thread.

I ordered some things from j-list for the first time and payed for premium shipping. According to the order it should be 5-6 days business. It's been five days business and according to the tracker it hasn't even fucking left Japan.

Is the tracking incorrect or is it really going to take that long? I want my fucking games and manga dammit.

>>112889611
Do you use japan's or your nation's postal service's tracker?

Unless it's EMS (your parcel's ID starts with EM or somesuch) or other fast service (e,g, DHL), it can take eternities.

i only have yotsuba 1-3
really want to get the rest, but they're so god damn expensive

>>112889746

It's EMS, and I'm tracking it through USPS.

I may have ordered some "sensitive" merchandise. Does it come packaged discreetly?

The bamboo pillow wasn't all I got after a five hour bender.

>>112889834
Then it just hasn't fit the transport cages, shit happens.

Just wait some more.

I'm impressed with the number of people who have original Japanese language volumes in their collection but how many of you can actually read Japanese? Do you buy them to read? to collect? to support the author/series? Or all three. I have the entire original release of Sailor Moon and Cardcapor Sakura in Japanese but only have them to collect since I can't read them.

As soon as I own my own place and I'm earning a decent amount, I'm going to buy one of those beds with a sliding drawer underneath and store mango in it.

>>112889965

True, and they may take much better care of my order than the thug mail carriers here in the states. I just wish I knew where it was and what's going on. I've sent things internationally but almost never had things sent to me.

Everything usually goes very smoothly when sent to Japan. Not so much in other countries.

>>112889970
I usually buy Japanese manga if it's a series I really like that won't have an english release, if it's really long I opt to buy artbooks for it instead

Yes, i do know you get money by working, even a kid would know that.
I was expecting an answer related to what you do, what kind of job you have. not something especific, you could just throw any generic info, but not as generic as "working".

Also, I won't even focus on your elitist view point that thinks only by working someone could have a considerable amount of extra money to buy all this manga collection.

I found it even better than the anime in some parts, namely cutting superfluous stuff and exposing better some key points of the plot (like how the fuck Adam appeared on Gendo's hand).
Plot-wise, follows the TV serie up to ep 24, the EoE up to Sea of Life scene, then gose on it's own (not yet completed) ending.

>>112892622
Really? I don't think I've paid more than AUD$14 for a paperback in months. Yotsuba in about $12 a volume. Hell the super nice hardcovers of Otoyomegatari are $15~ brand new.

>>112893322
>I don't know nothing about manga published here.
I can't really say "You're missing out", because Italian manga publishing have some big faults, but at least when comes down to sheer amount of volumes/series the only competing market among western countries is France (which is slightly better for /a/ - and my - standards due to which series are published).

Obviously there are ups and downs and you have to be wary of what you're doing, but overall is a quite good.

>>112893600
Suceava, dar majoritatea anului mi-l petrec ca si student la Cluj. Am fost prin majoritatea oraselor si am cautat. Singurul lucru a fost un volum aleatoriu dintr-un manga de care n-am auzit niciodata, la fel intr-un Carturesti. E trist, cred ca e din cauza ca majoritatea romanilor pirateaza tot.

On another note, what all are you guys doing to get stuff online anymore? I had been using some forum and mangatraders but that got fucked over. Started using FMD to rip Batoto but it's broken atm after Batoto changed domains. I really don't want to have to irc everything from group bots like in the old days again.

I used to browse #lurk and all that shit on Rizon ages ago. Makes me feel old remembering it.

I could always use an android app to rip batoto again but then I'd have to xfer to my pc to read it in big portrait screen glory.

Also Batoto doesn't allow upload of most of the lewd stuff so I have to obtain that from scanslator sites and shit.

It bothers me too but most of the stuff on those shelves is stuff I've already read so it isn't a terribly big deal and it will take forever to sort it all. I should bring a laptop into that closet and watch some standup or something and sort them later. That doesn't even include the other shelf with is only 3 teirs and overflowing with stuff stacked in front because I need more space.

Fyi you can lay down the last few on the end or a small series so they act as a stopper to hold the rest of the stack up. For example you could lay the Hidmari's down side ways.

On another note I own an original print copy of the US hidamari vol4 or whichever one it was that cost like $90 for awhile because it was so rare. Too bad they reprinted it, though its good for the bros that missed out on it.

I thought so. It's basically the game but with some other random twists. It introduces a new random villain, but I mainly got it because you get to see Haseo, Endrance and Atoli in their real life/outside game selves. I got mine for $4 each, so it was worth it for me.

Just a collector thing really, i really like the drawings for it

>>112899719
I have the massive version in my apartment. I also own Mew from the same series

>>112899787
Ok. I thought I missed an announcement or something, because I'd totally buy OPM if it was released paperback in english.

>>112891160
>>112899719
I have the same as well, but I have had it for almost 15 years

>>112898301

owning things is nice

>>112895591
I feel good when i see my room full of mangas.

>>112899158
No. 1 USD = 104 JPY.

>>112895864
I want these pokemon manga.

>>112900032
You can buy them. They're actually cool.

>>112897636
Looks like the box is flying.

>>112899289
I like your small little Takane collection. Some good manga too.
When I get a new shelf I might do something like that with a few of my Miki figures.

>>112900000
Nice.

What magazine is that in the bottom anon?

>>112898301
They're comfier to read than computerised displays. I find computers (which e-readers ultimately are) distracting and wish to rid myself of them when I go to sleep.

Then they cater to my stone-age lust for owning real things. I like turning real pages and using real bookmarks and ironing out pages that got fucked up in shipping. They also impress people, whether weeaboos, comics nerds or not, files barely impress anybody.

And finally, what happens if society decides to go bellyup? Books don't require electricity or Internets.

Did part 3 of Jojo get a reprint or something? Volume 6 isn't fucking expensive anymore.

>>112900000
I guess it went back up. Not too long ago, it was only 0.79 on 100 JPY

Probably.

>>112900538
The one under the ashelf?

>>112900588
Awesome, time to get part 3, and preorder what ever amazon has for part 1.

>>112900685
Oh, sorry. That's just a Japanese language book that I never used.

Or work on your Italian skills.

I got them just to support the series. I don't even read paper manga because it is way more convenient on a tablet.

>>112900000
Im pretty sure I just saw that on the 26th the exchange rate was 1 USD= 100 JPY
I normally just pretend like 1 yen is a penny when it comes to figuring costs
also nice quints

>>112890771
what are in those boxes at the bottom?

is it monogatari?

>>112883754
>Anime collection is solely DBZ
>Owns 11 Yu-Gi-Oh volumes
>Is getting rid of 30 volumes of manga because he dislikes it

>>112888994

Pretty much run out of space now, which is a shame since I have a lot more I want.
It looks like I'll never finish Mirai Nikki though.

>>112903891
How's the Higurashi manga compare to the VN and anime.

>>112884470
The Hidamari fanbase has been through most things imaginable. From nosubs to "Sunshine Sketch" to terribad DVDs (even for license DVDs) to gorespam to a core seiyuu catching japanese cold to getting a publisher to reprint a moe 4koma. While in some sort of a slump at the moment, the old fans are pretty hardened and willing to pay up for their wide fix. Younger fans follow their example because of the wish to belong.

Anyhow.

Yotsuba and Hidamari Sketch have english releases.

Nichijou has a partial finnish release.

Yuyushiki is only in japanese.

>>112904026

Not him but I own like 10 something volumes of it. I enjoy it quite a bit. Art is nice, they are split into the different arcs and labeled as such and in general seem higher quality and consistent compared to the animes. Never played the VN though, that art man.

>>112904026
not him but I enjoyed the manga more than the anime i haven't read the vn

>>112903891
How is Ode to Kirihito? I've been considering picking it up.

>>112904026
VN > Manga > Anime
VN is still superior but if you can't handle the art (or can't get the PS2 sprites for some reason) the manga is your best bet. Same for Umineko.
>>112904223
Solid Tezuka manga, definitely worth having it in your collection.

>>112904367
>Solid Tezuka manga
Gotta pick it up then.

>>112904367
Alright, might read the manga but I still gotta finish the VN.

>>112877079
Where did you get all these japanese ones?
