First time manga buyer.
Did I do good, /a/?
>>156477097
should just watch steins;gate
>>156477097
Steins Gate has a manga?
>>156477200
What would you suggest instead, neckbeard?
>>156477097
>£11.99
Was manga always this expensive in the uk?
>>156477321
It's only 3 volumes too. Really nice artwork.
>Not the original Japanese versions
Top pleb.
>>156477200
Are you indian?
>>156477345
It's buy 2 get a 3rd free in most places -
like in Forbidden Planet. I would've been much better buying from Book Depository or something, but it kind of removes the fun of shopping for new shit.
Bretty gud starting points OP. You might have a hard time collecting all of Berzerk mind you
>>156477345
That's average enough for a tankobon in the UK, the only cheaper volumes you'd get are those Gollancz reprints of Viz titles back in the day for 7.99 or whatever
>>156477386
Top weeb.
>>156477430
More like buy 2 get 3 and pay for 6.
>>156477850
Yeah, I guess. Buying online is obviously the cheaper option, but it would be sad to see all of the shops go out of business too.
>>156477200
>the third one
you deserve to die painfully
>14 bongs for one Berserk volume
>that's 70zł in Poland
>I buy our Berserk edition for 17zł
I feel bad for brits
>>156477097
>reading S;G and Gits instead of watching them
Anon.
>>156478269
Also for £14 (70zł) I get 400 pages Blame! volume in hardcover with some bonus laminating cards
>>156477097
>S;G manga
Why would you ever buy that shit
>>156477345
because bongistanians are fucking faggots
>>156477188
should just play it
>>156477200
>hating on Yotsuba
Why isn't this faggot public-banned yet?
>>156478504
Oh, god... that new edition of Blame! is £25 here. What a crock of shit.
>>156477097
>Buying overrated big old titles
Buy current
>>156477097
>looking to the internet to validate your purchased purchases
>>156480005

>>156477097
No gits its only good in magazine is not collectable in book. Sell it and hunt the magazines.
>>156480933
>not collectable
Who cares, bro.
>>156481351
>>156480933
>collectable
what
the reason you dont get the GITS TPB is because they censor out the lesbo scenes.
Is there anywhere I can sell my manga or am I stuck with eBay? I have omnibus editions of One Piece that I have been meaning to get rid of to replace with the individual volumes instead.
>>156477200
>Shitting on Yotsuba

>Spending £150 on the Dark Horse uncensored TPB
k
>>156477097
>buying manga
>Steins;Gate
Literally why
>>156477188
Play the VN
>>156477097
If that's not dark horse berserk you messed up
>Buying Berserk singles
Aren't most of the volumes out of print here in the UK? Pretty sure most of the post-Eclipse volumes are out of print here. Why not use Book Depository or Wordery? I got both my Gits manga for around £7 each.
But they really are taking the piss with some of the prices for manga in the UK. I guess it could be because it is a niche hobby and therefore not in exactly high demand.
>Tfw had to pay £20 for the A Distant Neighbourhood hardcover release
I mean I'm glad I got it since it paid off pretty well due to going out of print quickly but fuck me some of the prices are atrocious. Jojo and Vinland saga have decent prices for hard cover editions but fuck paying £20-£30 for something you can finish in an afternoon.
I've been thinking of buying some manga fromJewcob.
>>156484655
having never watched the anime, would you suggest I skip it and go straight for the VN?
>>156478504
>polskie tłumaczenia
gówno też wpierdalasz?
>>156479949
I have no idea how the yanks work when it comes to comics of all sorts.
Finnish edition of Nichijou, US$5.
American edition $12.
>>156485671
UK edition is about £7-£9 depending on where you shop.
So how do my fellow buyfags read their manga, do they read the single volume they've bought instantly or do they wait until they they've got more volumes so they can binge read it?
>>156485389
Yes, the VN is the source material and is the medium is the story is built for
>>156477097
May I just say you have such interesting and unique taste.
>>156485829
It's pretty basic but nice to see he's willing to educate himself on the medium a lot better than someone who would just buy Big Three crap and Shingeki or Tokyo Ghoul and thinking they are en expert on the field of anime and manga.
I recommend Ajin, PRETTY sure it is ending soon, I could be wrong though.
>>156478504
>ATAK TYT NOW
What did they mean whit this?
>>156477097
>steins gate
No, kill yourself.
Also stop buying meme manga just to get /a/'s approval and try something new, which isn't shit, for fuck's sake.
>>156477345
When I was in london for vacation I went to a store and walked right off without buying anything because I'm used to manga costing between 4 and 8 €..
>>156487174
Vertical release are mostly £9 which is still pretty okayish and that's the same price you'd expect to pay for a standard light novel here like Yahari or Re:Zero.
>>156477097
They seem to be dubbed, anon.
>>156478504
>shingeki no kiyojin
What the fuck is this, middle school?
>>156485750
I read the scans, buy the volumes and then, maybe, read them.
>>156487382
Still too much and I bet it's a shit edition as well.
>>156485750
If it's an interesting manga, I buy them as soon as possible to keep the print numbers up. I have a stupidly long backlog as a consequence.
The problem with people who wait to buy them all at once is that publishers gradually lower print numbers as readers naturally drop off over time.
In your typical 10-20 volume series, you may encounter problems getting v4-6 if you wait for the last one before buying.
>>156487882
>buying manga offline
>not autistically checking each and every print the comic book store has to pick out the one with less printing flaws
Poser.
>>156487944
I always check my LCS whenever I go in for my standing order but if they don't have it then I pretty much just order it on Amazon or one of the market places.
>>156487174
GitS, Steins;Gate, Yotsuba, Berserk...
>meme manga
>>156477097
>literally all /a/-core series
Boring as fuck taste.
>>156489127
it's not that bad for a beginner. At least it's not Bleach, Naruto or One Piece
>>156489127
It's entry level stuff anon, what did you expect an entry level buyer to pick?
>>156477097
>gits uncensored
good
>Steins
why?
>Yotsuba
nice
>Berserk
WTF why? are you a masochist? even some of the hardcore fans are exptremely dissapointed on how the manga has been handled,
>>156489007
No. Yotsuba and Berserk are meme manga. Steins gate is just shit.
Nothing wrong with Yotsuba or Berserk. It's just a shitty pick for a tryhard newfag just to fit in.
>>156489211
>>156489245
Read above.
As a newfag you have to experiment to understand what you like and try different things, not things that /a/ will approve when you post the picture.
>>156489309
>No. Yotsuba and Berserk are meme manga
Are you sure you've read Yotsuba? You seem to be very bitter. Take a break from /a/ please.
>>156489309
>Nothing wrong with Yotsuba or Berserk
>But you shouldn't read them when you're getting into manga because they're popular
That's retarded
>>156489364
>404 girl who can't sexualized
>not a meme
I don't even have to check to know that Encyclopedia Dramatica/Tvtropes/Knowyourmeme all have articles on it.
>>156489549
You should read them after some time.
>>156479949
Its obvious the Polish version will be cheaper. It is in Polish after all.
