How much physical manga do you own?

Over 250 volumes and a few issues of shonen jump and a dragon ball artbook

Everytime I see those threads I feel bullied.

>>155435385
One diog eared volume of Naruto that I got for my twelfth birthday

>>155435450
Why? It's just a hobby. I like having stacks of manga on my shelf, I haven't actually read most of them, physically anyway. It's just nice to have them there

>>155435385
2 Naruto volumes (20th and 41st) and one One Piece volume (10th)

>>155435385
I only have a single volume of the Ragnarok manhua.

>>155435558
Now that's just retarded.
I get collecting stuff as a hobby.
But why not read them, it's not like they have much monetary value they could lose.
And if you just want coold stuff on your shelve, why not buy a figure.

>>155435385
I have the entire Shaman King series, and most of the 1st Naruto series. I wanna start buying some more now, but for smaller series or stuff with nice covers.

>>155435752
>But why not read them
I've already read them online. I buy them to support the author and to have them easily available in case I ever want to read them again.

>>155435385
I counted 364 on 25 differents series (9 being already finished)

I also had at least 130 more that I sold back or gave

A bit over 500 volumes.

>>155435385
3

>>155435385
Around 80 vols of One Piece, 6 of Madoka (3 original story, 3 Rebellion) K-on 1-4 as well as collage and high school, and some bits and bops of other series

>>155435385
I have two volumes of One Piece that I bought 12-13 years ago back when I was still a pleb, that's all, I mostly buy figs now.

>>155435849
That's a lot of volumes. I have the 3 Box sets of Naruto (72 volumes), 2 Box sets of Bleach (48 volumes), K-ON, Dengeki Daisy, Ouran High School Host Club, Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, 8 volumes of Hikaru no Go and Death Note.

Only about 50 or so. It's been a recent hobby and I really should buy more Japanese tanks to better support the industry there but it's nice to have them in English for immediate reading.

Anyone get the Master releases for Blame! recently? I've been tempted but the size just seems inconvenient even though they probably look gorgeous.

>>155435385
0, cause I'm not stupid.

>>155435943
>posting on 4chan
>not being stupid

>>155435909
A good chunk are manga I already read online for free and decided to buy, the only ones I bought "blind" are mostly one volume stories, Kimi ni todoke and Natsume.

>>155435929
Any idea of good places to buy Japanese books? I always buy manga when I go to Japan because it's so cheap but it's too heavy to bring a lot back.

>>155435996
>wasting money on paper when you can read such media online for free

It is the prerogative of children and women to waste their money on useless things, not men.

364 volumes, spent over 3.000 Euro on it.

Used to be a lot. Over 200 volumes, I think. But now most of them are eaten by termites.

>>155435793
>buys localized product
>thinks he's supporting the author
Sure anon, if it makes you feel good.

>>155436143
>he never spent francs on it

Around 400. But I'm so short on cash I only buy One Piece anymore.

>>155436182
Why would the author not get paid if the localized product is licensed?

>>155436187
No, but DM. My first manga volume was Blame! #1 in 2001. I sold it at some point because I'm a dumb person.

>>155435793
t. I waste money on things I don't need and may never use just to have them.

Upper Middle class was a mistake.

>>155436250
That's not what I said.
Also, lurk more.

>>155436269
>>155436100
If you're really defining your perceived manliness via your stance on buying physical copies of comics, I have bad, bad news for you.

>>155436292
How doesn't it support the author?

>>155436182
The author gets a cut. It's their IP. It might not be a big cut but it's better than nothing.

>>155436182
Joke's on you I import tankoubon from Japan.

>>155435385
So few i can name them:
CYNTHIA the mission (Complete)
Franken Fran (Complete)
Sasameki Koto (Complete)
Gamma (Complete)
Koukaku no Pandora (current volume)
Watamote (current volume)

>>155436293
The fact you even replied to defend the action shows you're insecure.

Also
>>>/co/

We're talking about manga not comics. Comics can have real potential re-sale value.

Point is no matter how you slice it, spending 3k on frivolous garbage that you may never use is wasteful and childish and only amplified by the fact that you said nothing of making it a collector's investment. Such an investment is a bad idea, but at leas tthere is some logic behind it.

Of course, you're not going to agree because you are the one childish enough to actually do such a thing and not see the fault in it. Go buy your 30 volumes of manga you will never read and your 50 shirts and pairs of shoes that you will never definitely wear just to have them.

tl;dr. ur a faget

>>155436317
>>155436337
I want the newfags to leave.
Western companies pay a fee for the license.
No matter how many localized manga you buy, that money will go to the company selling that shit, not the Japanese.
Sure by keeping that buisness alive, the Japanese get their money, but one of the worst ways to support the artist.
If you REALLY care about supporting them you should import your shit.

There is a store in my town where the guy is a pretty cool dude who sells me in bulk with discount.

Largest regret by far is Pretty face, it was by the guy who made Mx0 but it was pretty bad. Inukami is underrated as fuck.

>>155436250
>>155435793
If you want to support the author send them some money instead of jumping through hoops trying to read moonrunes.

>>155436560
Why not just buy localized manga? It's already been pointed out that the author gets a cut of the sale.

>>155436612
>It's already been pointed out that the author gets a cut of the sale.
Except that's not true.

>>155436487
It's not wasted if it's something you enjoy. Do you even have any hobbies or is that sub-optimal for you superior brain?

>>155437229
looks good m8

Probably around 300 but I need to sell some. I want to get the new edition of Blame but I don't have enough room for it now.

I also want to buy Houseki no Kuni but I'm wary of what the English translation is going to look like. The title they gave it sounds really dumb too.

>>155435385
Couple hundred volumes I guess. Gonna get all of Berserk, Vagabond, REAL and Bakuman this year I think, so that'll put it closer to three hundred.

>>155436794
Why not get the rest of Death Note and FMA?
>>155437104
Show us Great One!

>>155436740
Going to need a source on that.

>>155436612
We just went over this.

>>155437229
How's Lucifer & Biscuit Hammer?

My shelf contents and pre-orders amount to around $2000. A good mix of figs and manga.

>>155436740
You see when you buy your mangos from your local store they don't send fucking money back to him. By the time the store buys it the author has already recieved all of his cut.

>>155438389
Its very good, i dont think theres anyone i wouldnt recommend it to

>>155438919
But good in what way? I only know what the series' premise is.

>>155438900
That's how just about everything works.
Purchasing the books after that fact shows a demand, and thusly, when the new volume comes out, stores are going to see that the book sold and stock it.

>>155438992
Shit, i am terrible at actually explaining why i like stuff but i guess what i like most about it is that it has likeable characters, gives every character time to shine and doesnt drag on too long.

>>155439225
Yeah, sorry. I guess try and enter a Biscuit Hammer/Mitoshi Kizukami thread and asking there instead, im sure someone can sell it to you better than me

>>155438992
It's about a wizard that wants to smash the Earth with a giant hammer and so a gang of people with animal familiars get assembled to battle him, except that their leader, the lucifer in the title, wants to destroy the Earth herself (unbenownst to the Knights she leads)

It's a very good coming of age story, a must read for anyone interested in Shonen at all.

>>155438992
Do you like over the top shit like TTGL? Then you'll love it.

>tfw Japanese store nearby carries manga
I'm tempted to buy some, but my Japanese isn't the best.

Well I'm always happy to buy more thick manga volumes, I'll see about it sometime during the summer.
>>155439387

Now here's another series I have to ask about.

>>155437629
Because I already read those online, and I don't like to spend money on entertainment.

>>155435385
I have a rubbermaid box full of stuff I bought and shipped home while deployed in Japan. I managed to collect all of Initial D, and almost all of Wangan Midnight. Also have the first 4 K-On, and first 4 Taiho Shichauzo.
I'm trying to sell the Initial D right now, and whenever I visit my buddies back there I'll be sure to try to find the rest of what I don't have.

I used to post my manga purchases in the buyfag thread here but it's full of autistic cunts buying several hundred dollar figmas to hotglue, they don't give a fuck about books

/co/'s shelf threads are home to some of the best comics and manga discussion on the site

Thousands of volumes. It's a sickness for me.

/co/ brought itself down, "being nice" to outsiders made them incapable of resisting the tumblr and capeshit waves of the '10s, it's the go to example of why a retard filter is good.

>>155443979
Yup, it's the most walked over board on the entire site. They don't seem to recognize /pol/bait until it's 200 fucking replies in. Too old for this shit

I'm a pleb I know

>>155444022
At least the demographics are finally shifting and the great influx of newfags from 2011-2014 are already accustomed to anonimity, i think even boards like /sp/ and /v/ are able to keep a culture by nit being flooded by more newfags that they can contain.
Except /pol/ and /co/, one by exposure and the other by cancerous culture, they are just a revolving door of cancer.

>>155443816
shelf threads are still good, you're lucky if one makes it past 150 posts on /a/

Is it true the American release of the DB manga censors the nudity?

>>155444236
And why would that be a good thing? What does blogging about your collection bring to the board? Nothing, /co/cksucker.

>>155435385
Shingeki no Kyojin up to the latest volume
Dorohedoro 1-9 + 14 because it was the latest release at the time I bought it
Select volumes of Naruto (the OMG WHAT A TWEEST ones like nalt meeting his mom because I hate myself)
Vagabond omnibuses (don't have 5, 9 and 12)
Volumes 3, 6, 8 of Cromartie
Numerous 1-2 volumes of manga whose names I've forgotten

my tastes are shit I know

this is just my personal best off
Upper in jap and translated Nisio (behind that Zaregoko Bunko) and completed Akagi (missing 1 )
then my personal favorite Slam Dunk, Spirit Circle Samidare Historie, FLCL and Azumanga
Then urusei Yatsura, Gunglinger girls, Dr. Slump and Arale, Genshiken original and Kawaiso (no space for MAison ikkoku)
Lower Otaku Musume, Hellsing and Drifters, Medaka Box and Jojo part 7 and 8 (other part are in the lowerer case)

Other series are at my parents and grandparents houses.

Not many, only the complete Dragon Ball collection that was released in my country when I was a kid.
I prefer digital anyway.

1. OG Tsukihime V1
2. Devil Survivor V1
3. Devil Survivor V2
4. Alice in Wonderland book with pictures

Just the 3 Genshiken omnibus and the first volume of Kannazuki no Miko, with no desire to get the second.

yeah, though overall I prefered GTO and Slam Dunk 2nd half
Angel Heart became quickly annoying, though, constantly bullshiting about "protect this smile" and "protect Shinjuku"

Team Medical Dragon and Pumpkin Scissors are fucking awesome series, can't recommend it enough.

10 volumes of hellsing Ultimate
5 volumes of xxxholic
1 of evangelion
1 of death note

Regretfully bought between 10 and 15 volumes of localized garbage when I was under 18. I have triple that amount or more in raw manga now, though, so I think it balanced itself out.
