I live in Canada so nothing but a pleb tier collection here. Either I can't purchase it or its expensive as fuck. Recently though I have started buying again.

I haven't bought shit in months, but I'll eventually get all the volumes for S&W, EVA, Toradora! and Aku no Hana. AoT was a gift by my brother and I'm not too sure if I want to keep buying Kieli. Missing Haruhi #3 because I lent it to a friend. I have Elfen Lied because I actually like the manga. It's fun to read.

>>118613928
Payed something like 60 i think, was awhile ago now.

Can't be arsed taking a photo.

Black Lagoon 1-3
Dragon Ball missing just a few volumes and a bunch of Dr Slump.
Eden: It's an Endless World complete.
Exxxaxion 1-4
GitS
Gundam Wing 1-3(only because I subscribed for it along with a bunch of other manga, to this day I haven't finished even the first volume and it's been more than a decade)
Karin 1-2 in a single volume
Love Hina 1-2
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1-11 with no volume 6 and twice the 7 because I'm mentally challenged
Solanin Complete
Taniguchi Jiro's Zoo in Winter and Solitary Gourmet

I got into Dragon Ball as a teenager, bought it and Dr Slump because of Toriyama, as well as some stuff(GitS, first volumes of Exxxaxion, Gundam Wing, and Eden) because I saw in manga magazines I bought because of Dragon Ball. I didn't really get into manga/anime back then since I couldn't afford to buy almost anything and I didn't have internet yet.

NGE I started buying right after I properly got into anime a couple years later. Got distracted but I'll but the remaining volumes eventually.

Black Lagoon, Love Hina, Karin, and Zoo in Winter is stuff I randomly picked out at bookstores in the past couple years on a whim. I'll get the rest of Black Lagoon eventually.

At the point I bought Solanin I already read the scanlation and it became one of my favorite manga so I kind of felt obliged. Solitary Gourmet I bought recently because I've been meaning to reading for a long time because of some touhou doujinshi, and because by now I became quite fond of the mangaka.

Not really much considering the first thing from this list I bought in 2001. First I was a poor kid with monthly allowance that was enough for a single book or 1.5 volumes of manga, and I was way more into Sci-Fi and Fantasy books than into manga. Then I was a poor NEET for a couple years and while I have a job now living expenses take up most of my meager paycheck.

If you can tell where I live from this list, please don't tell anyone.

Is licensing light novels really that unprofitable? It worked out for Haruhi didn't it? Surely publishing the F/Z novel in the west would work? They could market the KnK novels as 'from the author of FSN!' or some shit. I don't know if I'm out of touch with popularity, but TM is pretty popular over here right? Maybe it's not a question of popularity. Does anyone here know how it works?

>>118614312

A license for well known properties tend to be much more expensive. The math for them probably just doesn't add up.

>>118614312
You're out of touch with the times. Just recently, they've licensed:
>No Game No Life
>Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka
>Index
>SAO
>Accel World
>Hataraku! Maou-sama
>Log Horizon
And they're still publishing Spice & Wolf.

If anything, they're licensing popular light novels for the entry-level fanbase. Fate/Zero might be a little too much, but it's possible, unless Type-Moon is against the idea of filthy gaijins reading stuff related to their works.

>>118614312
>>118614434

That's also why you won't probably see the F/SN VN licenced for the west for a long while, even the censored version. The market for straight VNs is iffy at best, and the ones that actually manage to do decently have other gameplay elements (999/VLR has puzzle shit, ace attorney and danganronpa has whodunnit/detective shit, you could go as far as to say persona is kind of like a vn, but it's more a RPG with VN like elements so to me that's pushing it).

Thick volumes are fine, but you have to make them larger and sturdier as you add pages.
Small (as "front" view) volumes with too flexkible covers and regular binding/glue/material are horrible to read and break damn easily.

It's a less campy take on Gundam. Characters, events, and backstories are more fleshed out. It really expands on Char's backstory. Yaz's art is really beautiful.
Vertical's release is a hardcover printed on nice paper. The translation has a couple of weird lines but other than that it's pretty good.

Hello Tang Umbrella bro.

>>118634319
How do you find the quality of moon manga vs domestic?

>>118634467
In terms of physical quality, paper's thin and in general tanks won't withstand as much abuse as trade paperbacks. But that's probably a moot point for most people.

In terms of presentation, you're always getting a slipcover, which makes the reading experience classier. And you're never going to get some weeb ad copy on the back cover, or find typos, or come to terms with atrocious typesetting. You're just buying a normal book with normal quality standards.

>All these niggas with the Spice and Wolf novels only up to Volume 6

What the fuck, me too. Whenever I see that Amazon has copies available it's always during a time when I shouldn't be spending money on stupid shit like books so I've never been able to get my hands on a copy

>>118642312
Because they're expendable entertainment.

Only black and white means only printing one ink instead of four, letting you escape with even cheaper paper in the telephone catalog-sized magazines. It also cuts off the need for a colorist and color-QC. I suggested this for /co/ to get paper rolling again, but america seems to have fucked itself over.

When reading, B&W is easier on the eyes, and removes the jump from color drawings to B&W text.

A good adventure starts at page 1000.

I have... a localized copy of a Ranma 1/2 volume I got as a gift a while ago.

Seconded.

>>118668491
Berserk's English translation seems good and most people recommend it over its scanlation groups. A lot of bad manga translations occurred during the Tokyopop years because they were hiring quasi-fluent college students for translations that were also paid very poorly for their work (something like $7 a page where a professional gets paid around $20). Tokyopop also liked to make series seem more American by altering dialogue which happened with the English edition of Battle Royale. Del Ray got some shit for their translation of Nodame Cantabile by a translator for viz/Fantagraphics because according to him their wording in dialouge made some of the characters seem ruder than how they're originally implied to speak in Japanese.

It seems like the translation standards have improved since then though.

It's like I'm really inside a Walden's Books or Hastings! I can practically smell the unbathed neck beard who's sat on the floor for the past 2 hours with no intention of buying anything!

I wish i could buy manga, though being a poor fag is suffering.

Madman? aw shit, someone's an Auzfag.

how's high school

I always wrap my manga in plastic covers and put them in a closed box to avoid the pages turning yellow. You guys just put them on the shelves. Won't they turn yellow/moldy?

The air is cool and dry most of the time here, and very little sunlight penetrates my neet lair.

>>118679500
Mine yellow, yes, but it's just not worth the trouble to pack them up like that. It's not like I have anything that ranks as a collectible anyways. I buy my books to be handled and read.

>>118679500
Low humidity, no direct sunlight.

Sorry about the grain, 12800 ISO because its night time

I worry about dust more than yellowing. Its an expensive option, but a glass door billy bookcase is an option. My windows face north, so no direct sunlight, and the humidity is always low b/c of my locale.

>>118679813
Same. I used to be picky about books and making sure I buy them new but now almost everything I get is secondhand from Abe. My room is bookstacks galore aside from the more expensive art books getting special treatment.

Do people live on kitten farts in order to afford all this mango?

>>118663353
I already bought the volume 4,5 and 6, I need to buy the third

>>118683291
Manga isn't that expensive a hobby in moderation, most of these collections were probably built over several years.

>>118683432
Or I'm just really poor I guess.

>>118683457
You must be, my job pays shit and I can still afford to buyfag. Where do you live?

try warhammer, fantasy or 40k. You will then know what its like to have the disposable income of a meth addict.

>>118683457
It also depends on were you live and what you're buying.
Leaving aside moon import, when looking through overseas amazon (to get yotsuba and azumanga that will never be published here)i was kind of shocked seeing the average prices were about he double of what i'm used to see.
And a Punpun volume costs around twice one of a long running battle shonen as, say , OP or NnT, so your tastes have a say in your budget.

>>118683457
If I can afford to pay for manga, steroids, gas, and tuition as a part time waiter living at home, I'm sure you can buy manga from time to time.

>>118683432
It's not, but it is when you have over a thousand books.
Planning on reaching 2000 in next five years or so

>>118684867
B-but I do have over 1000 books. It just depends how long you take to accumulate them.

>over 10 grand invested
>not an expensive hobby

I guess compared to collecting bikes or something

>>118685164
I meant on a monthly basis. Unless you really like a lot of frequently-updated series.

800+ anime DVD/BD, 1000+ manga, and 100 or so figurines here.
I don't even wanna hear about investments or even think about it.

H-hope you're not planning to move soon or anything like that.

>>118685788
I actually am.. planning to buy a house.
Last time I moved it was a serious pain, hopefully this will be my last.
