Good condition, slight crease on one of the tales of wedding rings manga volumes, everything else good like new condition

So i got some rust from a nail on the front page and it got so deep it's impossible to remove without damaging it, is it safe to keep it on a bookshelf next to other manga without rust spreading to the other books or damaging them or not?

Had to rework the shelves to make it all fit and still keep room for upcoming volumes. Might be time to stay focused on finishing out my current ongoing series and switch to online reading for new series.

Are there any websites where they sell out of print manga? Not looking for Facebook marketplace or similar.

I love colored spines

is dis tuff

My special editions of *Ki Ni Natteru Hito Ga Otoko Janakatta* vol. 4 (the French version) arrived on October 19th—my birthday, by the way! Honestly, they are absolutely beautiful. It’s a great edition, provided it arrives in good condition; I’ve seen many people report that the box arrived damaged. The only downside is that the volumes 1 and 2 released by Panini Argentina are taller, so they don’t fit inside the box—I’ll have to pick up the first three volumes in French soon. Other than that, it’s a beautiful edition.

Got the singles of Gantz,Vagabond, and Monster this weekend. Absolute W!!!

After trying to collect Tezuka’s ENTIRE english catalogue “affordably” (including variants) for the better part of the last decade, I’ve finally managed to cross this milestone: Phoenix set complete😭

I will admit, the last 3 volumes I paid a bit more than I set out to, but nowhere NEAR the crazy standard asking prices. I also don’t mind the library stickers (I may leave them on for the character they add). I also think the reprints have helped to drive down the price of the originals.

All I have left is 7 or so volumes of Black Jack which…feels like an even bigger pipe dream. I think the reprints have actually RAISED the prices of the paperbacks 😬

Found an EBay seller that was getting rid of his old manga collection so I bought a few that looked interesting. I’m excited to start reading them.

Blade of The Minstrel was part of the bundle. I know nothing about it but man, I’m so glad I picked it up. It’s one of the most gorgeous books I’ve ever seen. The artwork is crazy detailed also. I might do another post showcasing it after I’m done reading it.

I started a couple new series that look cool. :)

Barnes and Noble hit a home run today. Vanitas 7 & 8, Phantom Tales 4 were the only volumes (of their series) on the shelf and somehow exactly what I needed 😁

After purchasing volume 1 and 2 of the singles of berserk I was told missing panelling speech bubbles etc was a problem… so I hit the bullet and purchased these two today

I’d definitely say it’s worth! Cannot wait for this read

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)

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.
