I won a bookshelf and I was thinking of filling it with manga. The problem is that I just realized most of the mangas I read aren't licensed and then I realized that most of the time im going to be reading them online anyway since im up to date with most of them and scanlators are ahead and millions of years faster than the licensed released.
It got me to think, ¿is it really worth it to buy manga? the only one i'd really REALLY want to own is Berserk since the art is 10/10. I was thinking that maybe it was easier to get only short finished stories.
Do you own any manga /a/? Do you re-read it often?

Import raws cause they're fun to look at even if you can't read them. I have a bunch both localized and raw and honestly they look so much better on paper it's not even funny. I still read on screen because of convenience but if I really like a series I sure as hell buy the tanks.

if it's a series you really care about, go ahead and buy it physical
you're supporting the franchise and looking at a bookcase lined with books you really like is a great feeling.

I agree with you, but your taste is shit.
You normally buy a bookshelf to store your stuff, not the other way around.

i'd feel bad if I didn't, It looks pretty lonely without books,
All the work that was put into it just so people could store their books would be wasted, Imagine if you were a bookshelf, wouldn't you like to be filled with books? I mean, that's why it was made for, that's its purpose.

Buy the manga if you want to support the author, not to fill your shelf. Otherwise fill it with figures.

You can usually find manga bundles for cheap on Amazon Japan, a full collection of Berserk for around $50 shipped, for example.

No one's forcing you to buy books, anon, but we'll judge you either way.
