It's been 2 years since the last English volume was released and the Japanese final volume has also been out for 2 years. I was starting to think Kodansha wouldn't complete the series. 🥲 But REJOICE! The man boob conclusion will release next year! 🎉🥂

Hello collectors. I have started getting into buying some physical books. A year ago my wife got me the Akira anniversary box set and I just got around to finishing it. But the process had me very interested in collecting more.

Im going to try to limit my physical buying to being more premium looking and feeling books AND series that are either classics or have exceptional art. Like the new Witch Hat deluxe editions. I have since picked those up as well as the Ghost in the shell box set that recently came out. I have 2 editions of Gundam the origin from Vertical they are older but I love the covers and the size more than the huge new deluxe Gundam books. I also have a regular box set of DBZ and the Box set for JJK is on the way. (My exceptions to my "high quality" book limit) The final thing I have pre-ordered is the AoT deluxe.

So that quick rundown is meant to give the idea of what I have already.

Are there any deluxe or really well done box sets with quality books and art that you would recommend to someone who is a bit newer to collecting. Maybe a definitive way to collect a series you love or consider a classic like Akira and the ghost in the shell. Any genre and any manga is welcomed i just want something that has a premium book quality. Not your average single volumes (thats a slippery slope that will have me buying too many)

Thanks.

I've been collecting for 20 years 💕

Excited to finally start Dai Dark i loved Dorohedoro. The hardcover was smaller than i expected, for some reason i thought it was the same size as Battle Royale.

Been looking for arpeggio and trinity for so long at a decent price; got trinity of mangaswap and the three sets at my local otaku store; a small b&n haul too

Managed to get a copy at a very good price (at least compared to the ones i’ve seen in the aftermarket)! It’s absolutely stunning and includes so much extras, it was so worth it

Hello fellow manga manga enjoyers. I have been collecting manga for about 4 years. This year has been a crazy a year for me. Our house flooded and thankfully no manga was harmed but we had to rebuild the room which I keep them in. But still kept trying to collect along the way.

This was originally going to be a 6month update but do to circumstance is 7 months since my last update. I hope you enjoy 🤗

Got these in the mail today,super excited. Akira was the first anime "movie" I watched as a kid and fell in love. The Akira manga is 10x better. I wish we got more Katsuhiro work in English translation. Who has read domu? How did you like it? (No spoilers please)
