I didn't realize that the homeless shelter could afford to use living space for manga collections.

Why the fuck did you make your own thread?

>>157940126
Only saw the figure bufag thread.
I've seen separate manga buyfag threads on here for years.

>>157940190

It's the same fucking thread you retard.

Its not all manga, since i put all my japanese shit in the same shelf

>>157940335
is that the tatami galaxy ln or the anime?

>>157940455
The anime, is the novel even translated?

>>157939802
How much did all this set you back? I prefer physical manga to online, but a single manga at my local place costs around $16 AUD each.

>>157940505
i've been collecting for 8 years and I average about $5 a book
There was about 1200 at last count
so about $6000?

>>157940505
always buy used but be picky about ex library garbage- One of my biggest pet peeves. >>157940493
I guess not- I wish they would hurry up and do it.

Only small changes, don't feel like taking a new picture.
Been reading Kill me Baby, in finnish, my finnish is only a little better than my japanese.
Waiting for Dragon Half.
Please buy military moe stuff like Arpeggio, GuP and Strike Witches. That and 4koma need all the love they can get.

>>157939802
Can I post my smol artbook collection?

I'd like to be a collector but the difference between manga and books is manga takes up a fuckload more space for a whole series compared to books.

I think I'm gonna sell off a lot of what I own.

>>157941387
go for it!

>>157941469
what you got?
I may be interested in buying

>>157939802
Where the fuck do you live, in a warehouse?

>>157941283
I'd buy more GuP if they released the actually good shit like Ribbon Warrior, Little Army 2 and Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu.
Which ones are best when it comes to Strike Witches?

My small collection. Frankly I dont have much space for more

Any and all of them, really. Sevenseas doesn't want to license more as they shelfwarm.

You could have saved several thousand dollars by learning Japanese and grabbing the books for $1/tankoban.

I mean, I live in Japan so manga is dirt cheap, but still.

I just kind of pity you.

>>157940224
Uh- no they are not you self flagellating Australopithecus

>>157942338
I learned Japanese 20 years ago but still buy translations in the other languages I know if it's for my favorite series.

But I never see them for $1 apiece these days. Even Book-Off in California where I used to buy them that cheaply has raised their prices by a lot.

>>157942338
>I live in Japan
And all of us who don't willg et fucked by shipping anyway.

>>157942365
Buyfag is for all types of buyfag. kys.

So GuP has multiple mangas? Any of them actually any good? I think one of them was actually released here, but I don't remember which one.
Although if I had to guess, it would be a straightforward adaptation of the anime (which wouldn't be perfect, to say the least).

If we're just talking about the english releases then theres the adaptation, which im pretty sure is not very good due to it being released way before the Anzio OVA which meant they gave them a completely different personality.
Then there is Little Army which is alright, it serves as a prequel to both the main series and Little Army 2.
The ones that havent been released in english are Ribbon Warrior, which focuses on unofficial matches with small tanks, Little Army 2, which focuses on one of the characters in Little Army transfering back to japan from Germany and attempting to fix up her schools Senshadou team, Gekitou! Maji no Ikusa Desu!!, which focuses on the NotFrench school Maginot, Phase.Erika which is also a prequel to the main series but focuses on Erika back in Mihos Kuromorimine days and finally Lovey Dovey Panzer and Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu which are 4koma comedies focusing on pretty much every character.
Pic related is the Main characters of Maginot, Ribbon Warrior and Little Army 2

>>157943517
The main manga adapts the anime story from Yukari's viewpoint. Then there's the Little Army prequel.

Then there's a bunch of others that Seven Seas didn't touch because guns and moe just doesn't sell in America.
