If you gotta take a break from manga. Take a break from manga. Im still gonna watch your videos

[@ThePourhouz101]

I got to this video late, my guy, but I would like to see you do more anime vs. manga comparisons. I know you prefer manga more, but that's exactly why i think your opinion would be interesting. I would especially be interested in hearing your opinion on the newer seasonal shonens and how they compare to the manga

[@Italiano_Strawhat]

You asked what we want to see. For me, Im not a fan of prize figures or nendos. I am much more likely to watch scale figure and statue reviews. Not a big fan of random merch, but intersting art prints can be cool to see. Also im not a fan of JoJos, sorry to say, so im unlikely to watch any videos related to it. Im only one person but that's my take. For me personally, there are only a couple active YTbers that have at least some focus on One Piece collectibles, and those are the videos I gravitate to because its what I personally collect. For manga content I don't want to get spoiled on something I might read or watch so I tend to keep my distance unless im up-to-date. But learning more about manga authors would be cool, like little bio videos about these awesome artists and storytellers. I could see myself watching that.

[@DylanSinghh]

I read and took breaks with monster but i agree it burned me out too i mean im also on a manga break atm but im tryng to get back 😊

[@TheDarkSage]

Glad I’m not alone on this one!

[@generalmaddox8389]

If you don’t have American comics, start collecting those!

[@augustarpg8035]

Whats really crazy is Urasawa was writing the later half of Monster and the beginning of 20th Century Boys at the same time. Personally, my favorite of his works is Billy Bat, though dont expect a full english release anytime soon.

[@7e1ix]

Good afternoon Mr. Dark Sage

[@AOT_HxH95]

Sorry to hear that. Take a break if you wish. Just know you among many other collectors, but especially you got me inspired to do my own collection. After 3 years, I got just over 100 volumes now. Also I got 2 Barnes & Noble gift cards to do an epic haul soon.

[@MichaelReighard]

I remember when you were a funko channel. I honestly just view your channel as “collector” content. I’ve never shoved you in a box.

[@tinodollas4146]

Thanks for the update . I would say I'm interested always for manga hauls but I believe you can do half & half....Such as manga hauls sometimes & manga reviews & figure reviews content. Most definitely have to do some more Nasty man manga content as well. Tier list are always appreciated also

[@debraharrison4134]

I loved your review on Berserk. It was the best I’d seen.

[@DanielPeppers]

What an Honest Video, Can't wait to see what cool Content you make on your channels, Wishing you nothing but more success Man.

[@jackaurous]

Man that cut looks dope.

[@IIRemyII]

Commenting before watching but this has me worried chase 😭

[@marveldcstarwarsfankd1548]

You The GOAT Sage, it be awesome if you go back to anime blu ray Figure haul content consistent

[@dannielthul8068]

Sucks that ur taking a break cuz i just found out who u are. Oh well gl with ur stuff

[@TheDarkSage]

I’m taking a small break with uploading manga content. I’ll still be posting a video a week!

[@genossaitama5504]

[@FlashThruEm]

You should look into getting the gold foil one piece mangas. They only did 1-23. it was the first ever one piece mangas to be printed in the US. Obviously they did reprints so depending on which print you want and the quality of the book will determine the price lol. And the cover look different and I prefer them personally

[@TheDarkSage]

I personally don’t collect manga cause of rarity and OP isn’t a series I’d double dip for unless it was a colored edition.

[@candymanrip]

Life happens and do what you like and they will come😂😂😂 great video 👍 😎 #brokeboigang

[@dillonfollett5765]

Did you know when he said “ hit the subscribe button” the actual subscribe button lights up? Just had to point that out

[@loptsson]

I have been wanting to read Monster just haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. I totally get what you are saying though about a manga drought there are not a lot of current series I am adding just a handful. Got a lot of ongoing series I am keeping up with though.

@darksage What’s your favourite BS? 😂

[@TheDarkSage]

BS?

[@Serjohn]

I don't recommend reading monster. The anime is word by word panel by panel adapted. Everything we ever ask from anime, but noone talks about it.

[@josephlynch7655]

That’s exactly why I didn’t like the anime. It added nothing new.
