Not really that hard if you're reading as you grow your collection. If you buy, just for an example's sake, 10 volumes a month, and you read 5 of them before buying the next ten, then you're sort of always on top of it. If you buy 500 manga and then try to read all of it you're in for a painful time.

@@jinwoo78 For collecting. I read everything I buy but most I read already online. I buy physicals if I like the series and want to support it. And also to reread whenever I feel like it.

[@ababa8594]

I'm really jealous of how big the books are, because I'm Japanese and most of our manga are small. I guess it does help with the price and space but still.

@@gentlemansoup japanese people are smaller

[@aditditditdit]

@@princeinparis 🗿

[@netabarekun2087]

@@gentlemansoup there might be some real reason but I would say it is due to two facts. One, in japanese they sell a lot of Manga and light novels and can't compare to the west. So they might need to save up by doing it smaller. My second guess would be because it being smaller fits everywhere. It won't take much space and given how most japanese tend to read Manga and other books while on train it makes life easier for them than carrying around a heavy and large book

[@spikef7602]

@@gentlemansoup This is because Japanese manga are generally cheap so that even children can buy them. $ 4～$7 Manga is very cheap in Japan, so it is not a valuable item. I'm sorry for Google Translate

I'd recommend trying out A Bride's Story. A seinen series about nomadic tribes on the silk road in the 19th century. The art alone is astonishing and the whole series is rendered in immaculate detail (particularly the traditional clothing that the characters wear). It's published in single vol hardcovers by Yen Press

Especially about taking the time over the years to expand one’s collection. I’ve already spent $1000 in my books and bookshelf this year. I should really pace myself

[@a.rendon289]

I recommend reading Blue Giant by Shinichi Ishizuka if you haven’t already. It’s a beautiful story about a boy who is working it become the best jazz player in the world. It’s an inspiring story and you don’t even have to be a jazz or music lover to relate to it. There are currently two omnibus books out for it containing volumes 1-4, with another omnibus coming out sometime in July and a later one towards the end of the year.

[@gzzachary7345]

YES!! I love these!

[@taigaaisaka6305]

I too hope we get a Gantz Delux Edition soon. They are done with Hellsing and Berserk is also almost done, only 3 Volumes left. Hopefully we get an announcement by the end of the year of which new series is next. The art in Gantz definitely deserves the Delux treatment, specially in the last 10 volumes when you have a bunch of 2 pages panels showing the city, area and all the destructions and stuff going on, but even early stuff like the Buddhist Temple Arc have some amazing panels, the massive Osaka Arc and, though brief, the brutal Rome Arc, they would look gorgeous in a Delux.

[@monicarosebloom5057]

Having an up to date collection of black clover manga? You sir, are the most respected person in my books.

[@pootoobaby738]

I definitely recommend anything by Fumi Yoshinaga, I think you would like her series called Ooku. It details the idea of what might happen to Japan during the feudal era if a virus suddenly started only attacking males, going into depth what that might do to the economy, the government, and society. It won a lot of awards in Japan including the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Grand Prize in 2009. The series completed recently, with 19 volumes in total. Some people find the translation off putting (in the original, she used archaic Japanese to obviously convey a specific time period, so English translators decided to use Early Modern English ala Shakespeare style), but if that type of thing doesn’t bother you it’s a great read.

[@stephennootens916]

I am always amazed at people's collections. I don't have the room for so much sadly, so my is small. I am trying to get the 3 in 1 Gantz because I didn't finish collecting it when it first came out (super tight budget is yet another reason) as well as thinking planning the same thing with Ranma 1\2.

[@supremebonkripper7460]

I recommend bakuman, its not the most eventful manga series but it is quite intresting. Its about 2 highschool kids that try to become famous manga artists, it gives a pretty good look in the creation of manga and all the work that goes into one. Its made by the creator of death note

[@allenchann184]

I’m a manga beginner from Taiwan, so glad to find your channel. Western version of manga are always more luxurious, Asian versions are simpler, smaller and less expensive. I’m thinking to get my favorite series, Cardcaptor Sakura in English version, collector’s edition which has the hardcover. Both Taiwanese (traditional Chinese version) and Japanese version doesn’t have that hardcover. Just ordered Chobits 20 anniversary edition 1-3 which also got the hardcover. Wanted to get my childhood manga series but my collection is getting bigger...🤣🤣

[@SUPER7X]

This was in my recommended. Cool video, and you seem like a very wholesome dude. Subbed. Edit: After finishing the video, I have some thoughts. Firstly, awesome to see Black Cat! Kentarou Yabuki is absolutely my favorite manga artist ever, so it's cool to see. I still need to actually buy the series, tho, but I do have all of his other main ones. Speaking of his other series, I would certainly recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. I mean To Love Ru is the most shameless ecchi harem romcom trash out there, so if you dont like that, then totally ignore my recommendation for it lmao. Much to my joy, Seven Seas just 2 days ago announced that they snagged the license for the Darling in the Franxx manga. No spoilers, but I can say that it definitely did not end in a flaming dumpster fire like the anime did and do recommend it. And then as for Ayakashi Triangle, it's just ecchi non-harem romcom trash. I love it! Clearly Saki Hasemi (To Love Ru's writer) rubbed off on Yabuki in all the right ways. That being said, Viz got the license for this series instead of Seven Seas, and sadly we may not even get an English physical release. I own all of Yabuki's works in Japanese anyway, but still sucks. And I have all 3 of these series together on one shelf, the Kentarou Yabuki shelf, something that you did as well for your favorite creators. Ugh, KZbin cut off the 2nd half of my comment, so I will summarize because retyping it all would be too much work. Basically, I find your use of alphabetization interesting. I currently sort solely by series preference (with the exception of the Yabuki shelf), a seriously impractical method that will most likely break down when I have anywhere near the amount of volumes you have (I currently have only like 150.), given that I have to rearrange them whenever I change my preferences. Some amount of alphabetization or unchanging sort method seems inevitable, but I will fight it for as long as possible. I also find your splitting by English publisher interesting. I wouldnt have done it that way. tldr for whole comment: I recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. Kentarou Yabuki is my god.

[@anthernbans]

if you liked death note, id recommend bloody Monday, the first few volumes can be hard to find for a good price, but they become more readily available as you go through the volumes
