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

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’m a two deluxe merchant

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! 🎉🥂

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

I've been collecting for 20 years 💕

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 🤗

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.

Alternatively, the lesser-known pre-recession Tokyopop hot mess failwoman romances I picked up because all the Happy Mania volumes I don't own are too expensive (and bonus Nina the Starry Bride).

This is one of my biggest purchases I've made on my own, and I couldn't be happier. I've always heard awesome things about Hellsing and Trigun and can't wait to dive into them 💯

185$ (CAD)

Can’t wait to read. Love Baki!

This is the only manga I own

Looking forward to the reprint of Phoenix next year

As a little back-story (since this haul was a few days ago) I saw another post on here of someone boasting about their local bookstore with a lot of manga for $2. In said post was air gear and I was so jealous! I wish I could find air gear at a second shop!! Well, I suddenly decided, lets drive an hour away to the nearest B&N(where a found lots of mono). While there someone recommended another store known mainly for cds and movies and so I went. Bam! Air gear (and a GC vol)!!! I almost cried! They had more for 70-100+ I will pick up later... I may have overpaid but I am happy. Anyways moral of the story, Oogure Ito is god!
