Hey. Dumping an English anthology print.
>Comics Underground Japan presents the wild, subversive world of Japan’s most accomplished underground comics artists. Some of the dozen artists included in this anthology will be familiar to followers of manga; others make their American debut in these pages. The richly imaginative stories in this volume show a great range of graphic style, from painstakingly detailed craftsmanship to exuberant, maniacal renderings. At the heart of each work in this anthology is a unique personal vision and a fierce artistic compulsion–these manga artists are the misfits of the art form, and they are its visionaries.
Included stories are:
1. "Hell's Angel" by Yoshikaze Ebisu
2. "It's All Right if Yiu Don't Understand" by Yoshikaze Ebisu
3. "Steel Pipe Melancholia" by Masakazu Toma
4. "Future Sperm Brazil" by Takashi Nemoto
5. "A Love Like Lemons" by Carol Shimoda
6. "Selfish Carol's Summer Vacation" by Carol Shimoda
7. "Mercy Flesh (Jiniku)" by Kazuichi Hanawa
8. "Don Quixote #1 & #2" by Yasuji Tanioka
9. "Planet of the Jap" by Suehiro Maruo
10. "Mary’s Asshole" by Hanako Yamada
11. "Volvox" by Pan Migawa
12. "Bigger and Better" by Muddy Wehara
13. "Laughing Ball" by Hideshi Hino
14. "Cat Noodle Soup" by Hajime Yamano & Nekojiro

I bought my second physical copy of this for a couple of dollars at a charity shop. The issue processing the comic book donations had no inkling how rare and valuable this is to collectors. Yet they priced some trashy tokyopop tanks at 10 bucks because "anime style is popular hurr". Acquired my first copy shortly after release. Did you used to read the PULP manga anthology published by VIZ back in the early 2000s? My complete collection is my most highly prized piece of manga history.

It's kind of pointless to put a price on physical books when digital scans exist for most of them, I used to obsess over collecting physical copies/OOP manga and now I don't have the urge to do it anymore because it's such a disposable hobby. Plus Japanese tanks are super cheap.

When certain works get printed in a large format on nice paper, it'll always be a superior reading experience compared to a computer monitor (Nausicaa for example).
Also, do you have a monitor turned to portrait? You absolutely must to see whole page without sacrificing detail or readability, the way it the pages were originally designed to be presented.

I had some issues of Animerica and some stray VIZ issues, but I didn't buy much manga back then.

I use an eight inch tablet for manga and visual novels. I still have some old oversized manga like Five Star Stories but almost anything else that's published physically and digitally I'll just get the latter.
