[Tzui]

kittynboi, nice collection you've got :D I'm jealous you've been able to get the four With the Lights, though -.- I can't find them in my stores.


And here's my collection.

^Another person who needs a book shelf.
But yer, you got a nice collection.

[kittynboi]

Thanks Tzui. I've been fortunate that my local Borders has had them all.

So far, no one near me has the new Oishinbo. One of the Barnes and Nobles has vol. 1 and 3 and my local comic shop has vol.3, but everywhere seems to list the new Oishinbo as "on order", implying it will come one day, but they don't know when.

I want to get more of Pluto, as I loooooooooved vol.1

I saw some really interesting stuff at my local comic shop I had never even heard of, mostly dark horse or smaller press kinda stuff, like Scary Book, XS Hybrid, MPD PSycho, and The Kurosagi Corpse DElivery Service, but they didn't have vol.1 of ANY of them.

Some of them caught my eye due to the unique design, which would look nice on a shelf. ^_~


My manga collection is currently smaller than my amount of graphic novels and regular books.

And Tzui, if you enjoyed With The Light vol.1 I suggest you order the others, or see if your local bookstores will order it for you. They're worth the read. Really fascinating stuff.

Also, since some people are posting games, you can see my DS and PSP games to the right here. Not the best view, but I was just taking snap shots for fun the other night.

[DazzleKitty]

You guys all have awesome collections!

I really miss the days when I could actually take pictures of my collection. I am only 8 manga away from having 1600 GNs. They are all stacked on two bookshelves, some are in my closet, some in drawers, and I put my more disliked series out in the garage.

When I move out someday, I plan on having a huge room for manga. It'll be kinda like a manga study or something. :P I liked having easy access to all my volumes. My old bedroom in the house we used to live in was big enough to display them all. My room now is less than half the size, so I can't do that anymore.

[Wolfgang]

I love this thread. It'll be totally dead for a week and then all of a sudden, everyone will post stuff. ^_^ Awesome collections, guys! I'll be posting two weeks from now, when the ones I ordered come in. GRR...snail mail...:angry::lol:

[bebopxblues]

Great collections, everyone!

Dazzle: Holy crap! Sixteen hundred?! Insanity! I hope you get your manga room one day! I always wanted a library. When I move out and get my own house, I'll make sure to have a spare room and convert it to one. ^_^

[Mad Hatteress]

I am only 8 manga away from having 1600 GNs.

>CrazyGamester: I actually store my manga on either side of my desk but ~90 are at the right, and the rest in three places to the left >.>

>kittynboi: Your welcome ^^ And I've been meaning to get them online though I only got the first one from RightStuf 'casue they had a Yen Press sale.
And I think everyone knows how that feels to be unable to go to a bookstore and find none of the volumes you want @_@ At least, I know how that feels.
Ane nice book/video game collections too. :)

Thanks. Most of my games are in the living room, however, with the dvd's.

Heh, so are all my games other than DS [but not in our living room]. :)

[kittynboi]

Heh, so are all my games other than DS [but not in our living room]. :)

My stuff could be organized way better, but to do that I require this specific ikea bookshelf and my local Ikea is perpetually sold out of it since it's so popular.

When I get that most all dvd's and games will be in my living room.

Heh, everyone loves Ikea =p
Most of our games are in drawers connected to the TV/console cabinet, though there's also some in my brothers' rooms.

[bebopxblues]

Don't let the size of your collection bother you, as long as you enjoy it. ^_^ You should definitely pick up some more D. Gray-Man. Its one of my favorites!

Thanks for posting!

Says the person with lavi as their icon. =)

[bebopxblues]

Haha. That actually didn't even cross my mind. He's been my icon for so long now! ^_^

[mlisette23]

Nice collection mike8480! I hope to post my collection soon but I'm still waiting for some orders to come in.

[mike8480]

Thank you! I look forward to seeing yours.

[kittynboi]

Just added a new vol. of Oishinbo to my collection today, and am also considering getting Detroit Metal City and the next Pluto. but I've also got other things to spend cash on and I'm TRYING to rein in my entertainment budget some.

It's definitely hard trying to follow a budget when it comes to entertainment, add in manga, anime and video games and it's like you have no chance! Am I the only one who goes through this?^_^

[kittynboi]

Just picked up some new stuff today for my collection, AND yesterday.

Yeah, I deal with that sort of, but not with the same stuff. I buy a decent amount of manga, usually one or two books a week if I can. I don't watch a LOT of anime these days, and DVD's don't cost me much since I got netflix and do most of my anime and other film and tv show viewing with that. Instant view has made it even easier. There are still some flicks and t shows I get on DVD. (I'm still working on my Star Trek collection, with only a few sets left to go.)

Same with games. Gamefly has ben a wonder for my finances, since I can get things like Soul Calibur and Prinny, try them out, and send them back.

[pepin]

Finally got around to taking a couple of pictures, quality is a bit sucky but i'm not very good with this camera yet, need some practice.

very nice pepin, this is how a manga collection should look like. I didn't look closely but, no cat eyed boy/drifting classroom? anyway keep collecting the nice horror titles! ( ps: original uzumaki and gyo? nice :naughty: )

[pepin]

I have drifting classroom 1-4, haven't gotten around to picking up the rest yet.

[Umagon]

I already posted my collection but I got a new shelf and did some re-arranging, so here

You have an awesome collection! How long did it take for you to collect all of that?

[Umagon]

You have an awesome collection! How long did it take for you to collect all of that?

a few years now, since about the beginning of 8th grade, and now going into my second year of college so... 6 years I think o.o

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Woah Dragon Head came out in America?

[pepin]

The Manga did anyway, not sure about the movie.

[bebopxblues]

That's a pretty redonkulous collection you've got there, Umagon. I'm jealous!

[holangjai]

great collections everyone! I need a camera to give an update and I refuse to use cellphone pics!

I read on here a while back about someone jokingly asking how to utilize ceiling space for books.

Pfft, no way. :) My room's a cave. A tiny, tiny cave.

That's my problem too, so many books and dvds with no where to put them.

[Wolfgang]

Well, my baby collection got a little bigger. Oh, and my rabbit's in here too. He got kind of jealous of me taking pictures of my bookcase and not playing with him, so he hopped up there.

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad301/WolfgangSWF/r1.jpg

It's incredibly blurry and I'm sorry for that, but there it is. :)

[bebopxblues]

You have a nice little collection there, but I like your bunny even more! I love rabbits and I have one, too! She's a spoiled little brat, but a smooshy when she wants to be. ^_^

NUDEoctopus: Really great collection you've got :D

[Umagon]

nice stuff! why is your yugioh vol 1 shiny... I'm jealous.

[NUDEoctopus]

Thanks everyone! ^_^

nice stuff! why is your yugioh vol 1 shiny... I'm jealous.

Back in 2003 Shonen Jump re-released all their really popular series (YuYu Hakusho, Shaman King, Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh!) with holographic covers. Besides the shinyness, there is no difference between the shiny version and regular. Only 5000 of each shiny cover was made. (mines labeled 4219 of 5000)

Its weird how the shiny cover releases went under the radar, I can't seem to find any information about it anymore except in really old issues of Shonen Jump.

[Umagon]

wow, I'm even more jealous now. I'd love to get my hands on the Shaman King one. awesome that you have one :)

[balisongnet]

i'm jealous, Iron Wok Jan and berserk in the same collection.

[Tzui]

Nice manga collection you've got there, Whoomp :D

[mlisette23]

Nice collection Whoomp!

[Whoomp]

Thanks guys. I am really fond of it myself.

i'm jealous, Iron Wok Jan and berserk in the same collection.
I don't think Jan compares to Berserk really. I just finished the whole thing yesterday and it didn't really go anywhere. the food just got weirder, Kirikos breast didn't stop to grow, the characters got zero development, Jan didn't stop being a jerk and it took like 2 volumes to finish the judging of the final tournament while the actual ending got a coverage of like 2 chapter. I am really disappointed at how this turned out. It was pretty entertaining at times but since it didn't go anywhere it kinda felt like a waste.

[bebopxblues]

Great collection, Whoomp! (Sorry for the late response ... ^_^)

Surely Jan can't hold a candle to Berserk, but it's still a very entertaining manga, Berserk at another level you know. Now if that lazy son of a b*tch Kentaro miura would work a little faster, berserk would be an even better series.:naughty:

[balisongnet]

let's do a little update shall we? Since it's been so long. i haven't bought any big series but anyway

http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq333/balisongnet/P1020665.jpg

If you got any questions, ask away. :)

[bebopxblues]

Its so neat and tidy! It looks great! Thanks for posting your collection! ^_^

[mlisette23]

Awesome collection balisongnet, by looking at your collection I've found some new series to buy:)

[balisongnet]

^ well than the pictures have done their job. Which series? just out of curiousity.

[mlisette23]

^ well than the pictures have done their job. Which series? just out of curiousity.

Cat Eyed Boy, The Drifting Classroom and A Drifting Life seem interesting. You've also reminded me to start buying Pluto, Dororo, and Black Jack (it's awesome that you have the first three hardcover editions!)

[mangaloverish]

wow what a huge manga fan!

@balisongnet

I nedd to buy those two vol. of Cat-Eyed boy, what do you thought about it?

Sorry for the off-topic.

[balisongnet]

@balisongnet

I nedd to buy those two vol. of Cat-Eyed boy, what do you thought about it?

Sorry for the off-topic.

Each of these huge, 500 page volumes consists of a collection of short stories, ( one is a slightly longer story which begins in the first and ends in the second vol.) A lot of these shorts were very entertaining, especially in vol. 2, But some are a bit corny ( written more than 40 years ago see. :naughty: )
I certainly think they're worth the money and a great addition to anyones collection. I can also recommend 'The drifting classroom'.

[CMC]

Doesn't compare to the 'ole DVD collection, but that's fine.

Nice collection CMC, (among other things) I'm really envious about your City Hunter volumes.

[Genet]

I really ought to update with a picture of my current collection. It was at 20 books in June, now it's around 68. I'm waiting for two in the mail, Kuma to Interi and Amato Amaro, both by Basso/Natsume Ono. :)

But I'm currently cleaning/dusting my bookshelf, and I'm going to arrange them by publisher/label when I'm done...then maybe I'll get off my procrastinating arse and show everyone! Yaaay. :)

[Spoonsnuggle]

hey guys! i'll post a picture of my small collection when my fourth xxxholic comes in the mail! (i have all of them except for vol. 4 because....errm.....uhh.....ah.......it' s a long story.)
that should be shortly after thanksgiving!

[Dr. Ezra]

Thanks everyone! ^_^

Oohh that's what that was. I found a holographic volume of Naruto and a used bookstore. I would have bought it but it was kinda beaten up.

[Tzui]

[Your English is fine, don't worry ^^]

You're gettting thirty volumes for Christmas... o.O My gosh, that's lucky.

[Dr. Ezra]

I have a bunch of manga on order. Once I get it I'll post my updated collection.

Good stuff, Ranma. Nice collection.

[holangjai]

Great collections everyone! Sometimes I wish I were in another country or comprehended other languages so that my options were limitless.

I think i'll post up my collection after my finals are done. It's been a while, and i've been buying so much since otakon this summer. great deals all around!

[Zeke]

I will update after christmas^_^

[Genet]

Okay, I decided to not be lazy anymore and take a picture of my collection now. I can't believe I managed to accumulate 50 books since June. :O

It's now at 70 books. :D

OMG! you read japanese?!?! aghhhh! i need to learn how.
nice collection you got there. *jealousy*
i especially love the covers of xxxholic in the japanese editions. they're just so dark and awesome, not to mention slipcovers.

*jealousy* (again)

*jealousy* (again)

Aha, thank you. :) Yes, I know some Japanese. I'm not very confident in my ability, though...I just like to read manga, that's about it lol, so I'm good at reading, but I can't actually speak it very well because I get all nervous around native speakers lolol.

Actually, I think one of the coolest things about the xxxHolic Japanese versions is the way they colored the paper on the sides of the book, like so:

http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv297/genetnet/xxxholicsidecolour.jpg

I was really shocked to see that as I thought they'd just be the regular colour, and the paper is extremely hi-quality, along with the colour illustrations inside. Underneath the dustcover is pretty neat, too:

http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv297/genetnet/xxxholicundercover.jpg

It blends in well, and I agree, totally beautiful cover designs. I just love the art, CLAMP did an amazing job with this series. :) (And I hope to buy the rest when I get mah Christmas money lol! )

[Zeke]

nice collection

[HitsugayZoro123]

hey im new so i was just wondering how to post images? lol

[Spoonsnuggle]

@ Genet.

*drool* agghhhhh.... oh. my. god......b-e-a-uuuuuuuuuu-tiful!

i am in love with xxxholic covers. i have the entire series (manga. and am getting the anime for christmas. i've been snooping around my parents' room. lol.) and can just look at the covers for so long. maybe when i go to Japan Town in SanFran (very soon) i'll get a couple of japanese editions of xxxholic; just for the heck of it.

what they did w/ the sides of the books is awesome! i was never aware of that fact! *more jealousy*

haha. cool.

@Zeke

Niceeee! :D I envy your japanese collection of naruto volumes.

erm, just wondering though; why are all your books arranged backwards?

the first manga i got i accidentally put backwards >_<
but i got used to the way they are arranged and it feels weird if i rearrange them ^_^

@Zeke

Niceeee! :D I envy your japanese collection of naruto volumes.

erm, just wondering though; why are all your books arranged backwards?

I also put my books in that order:D

[DazzleKitty]

I still wish I could put a photograph of mine up. I may have room for more bookshelves soon and then I'll take some pics of what I can, perhaps.

I put mine in that order too. Easier, somehow.

These are some nice collections. Perhaps I'll put a picture up sometime. ^_^

Big picture of the full set of shelves+close-ups so you can actually see, ya know, what's on them. That's all of it, not counting the three volumes of Legal Drug and one volume of Excel Saga living on my floor and the 23 volumes of Tsubasa coming now. Getting new shelves soon, though, which should help with the manga/anime storage problem (I have a LOT of DVDs on my floor right now due to storage issues) not to mention helping remove some weight off that poor shelf in the lower-right that's starting to bend...

[Dr. Ezra]

I would recommend getting a very large book case. Your shelves are totally caving in. That happened to my shelves too, I switched to a book case and I feel like my collection is a lot safer now. :)

[holangjai]

man, everyone has a nice collection. I was suppose to update back before christmas but I never got around to it and I got a new shelf! Hopefully sometime within the next few days i'll get around to it. Looking at all these photos makes me wonder about all the series that were released a long time ago and I want them, but I keep buying new stuff, the dilemma!

[Spoonsnuggle]

get on that xxxHOLiC collection, Mank! Such a good series!
man, I need more TsubasaRC. I only have 3 volumes right now(1-3).

Anyways, that's an AMAZING collection you have there, Mank. Your taste in manga is very similar to mine. I'm so Jelous! I only have like 50 manga volumes. :crybaby:

[Dot Cong]

Been a while since I've been on here and updated, but here's a new pic of my current collection.

[Tzui]

Mank and Dot Cong, both of your collections are very impressive! :) An Mank, you can [almost] never go wrong with an IKEA bookcase.

[Anime_Ej]

Well, i've been collecting since July '09, so it isn't very big yet. But I hope to keep improving! I also own S.A 3-8, but they're on loan to a friend.

Anime_Ej: For half a year, that's a pretty big haul you've already amassed! [Surely beats how many I had in my first several years xp]

[Radjack]

I'll be moving my room to a bigger one (like twice the size of the current one) Saturday so I'll take some pics then.

[bebopxblues]

So glad to see this thread is still up and running! I haven't bought much manga lately, but I plan on catching up. I think I'm going to keep up with manga more than anime. I find I'm enjoying it a lot more. Wish I could say my collection grew a considerable amount since I last posted, but alas! I can not.

Keep up the pictures, guys!

[Yoshi]

I joined just so I could post in this thread, so expect pics of my manga collection soon. ^_^

[Tzui]

[bebopxblues]

Bahh, I got all excited thinking someone posted new pictures ... :(

[XxKaoriknightxX]

Bahh, I got all excited thinking someone posted new pictures ... :(

I tried to earlier today...

[XxKaoriknightxX]

The photos arent the most detailed quality because I was using my integrated webcam with my computer poised on my knee (I don't have a digicam). Hope you enjoy!

My skimpy anime collection. I don't collect anime that much, as I am a manga fan mostly.

Not shown:
4 2005 issues of Newtype USA
1st 12 issues of Shojo Beat
InuYasha art book (the older one)

This collection was started in 2000, and slowly but surely grew, survived many many many moves! I plan on making it grow now that I'm finally stable!!!

[Schadenfreude]

I might have a manga collection to display if I wasn't a closet fan of it.

[Anime_Ej]

started almost a year ago, probably 2 months in the future from now? this is all i'll be collecting for a while. I'm focusing on movies now, i guess.....

http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af125/JerethX/collection/IMG_1655.jpg

[bebopxblues]

Whoo! It's so neat and orderly, so we can see all of the titles clearly which is good. Thanks for posting!

I was thinking of posting a new picture, but it looks the same just with a few more volumes added into the mix.

[holangjai]

I think i'll post up my collection soon. Its been a long time and i've bought a lot since the last time i've updated. I should probably do it soon too cause I'm always moving my manga around. I'm never satisfied with where my manga is unless its in a Billy Bookshelf from Ikea, lol.

[bebopxblues]

I think you should definitely post an updated picture. I think I'm going to post a picture later just because of sheer boredom, lol.

[Genet]

Muhaha I need to post a new picture pretty soon :3

[Somnia]

Anime_Ej - That's a nice collection! I really want to collect Rave Master, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note and a few other series not in your collection. I've also thought about picking up Naruto but I want to catch up on my Inuyasha volumes first.

So no picture's yet until I beef up my collection and can find some space to store all the titles I want to collect but so far I have the following:

Inuyasha Volumes 1-38
Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya) Volumes 2-19 - (I should be getting these in about a week or less)

[Toddler Naruto]

I only own like 4 manga books, should I still post a picture or wait until my collection is bigger?

[bebopxblues]

That's up to you. Honestly, if you only own four manga, then there really isn't much to show, is there? I would maybe wait until your collection grows a bit so we can see how your set up is. :)

[Toddler Naruto]

That's up to you. Honestly, if you only own four manga, then there really isn't much to show, is there? I would maybe wait until your collection grows a bit so we can see how your set up is. :)

Note: They are 4 random books. each book is from a diff series, lol.

Lagoon Engine Volume 3.
Hitman Reborn Volume 1.
Hoshin Engi Volume 8.
Sgt Frog Volume 5.

[Somnia]

Randomness is my God :P

Seriosly though, what's up with the random titles? Did you find those particular ones super cheap or something?

[Ranma-chan]

This is my collection :) Most of these are in german language.

[Toddler Naruto]

Randomness is my God :P

Seriosly though, what's up with the random titles? Did you find those particular ones super cheap or something?

Err, something like that xD.

I used to own alot more, but I donated it all to my Public Library :).

[Whistle]

While cleaning up, I got the inspiration to take some pictures.
They didn't fit in one picture, so I put them in piles (order is by who is the publisher) and took several photos.
Most of the mangas are in Finnish, but I'm catching up with my English ones too. :)

First pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347801.jpg)
Mangas from Egmont, all in Finnish. The ones below Death Note are the Finnish edition of Princess Resurrection, Meikkikeiju (Make-up fairy) is a one shot from Haruka Fukushima and Power!! is Girl Got Game. I'm missing Ranma½ 3 and 4, and then I'd have the whole series. :(

Second pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347803.jpg)
Mangas from Sangatsu Manga, all in Finnish. The .hacks are The Legend of the Twilight and Horoskooppimysteerit is Zodiac P.I.

Third pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347804.jpg)
Mangas from Punainen Jättiläinen (up to Princess Ai) and Pauna Media Group (the rest).

Fourth pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347805.jpg)
Mangas from Del Rey. I'm really waiting for the next Alive.

Fifth pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347808.jpg)
Mangas from Tokyopop. Just how cool is that Hanako?

Sixth pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347827.jpg)
Mangas from Yen Press. The Higurashi mangas are mah treasures now.

Seventh pile (http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=6347828.jpg)
Mangas from Viz. And a couple from June. I'm starting to like the Sig Ikki line.

Okay, that's it for now. I hope that someone else would be inspired by this and woud post some neat collection pictures. :P
And man, I hope these pictures work. I'm still learning to use Aijaa.com...

[Tzui]

Whistle:
Awesome collection you've got! :D It's grown since last time [although it's a little hard to tell with seperate pictures *looks at DeviantArt*]. Yup--it's grown quite a bit ^^
Is Higurashi any good? I've seen it but never got around to read it xp
[And Hanako was awesome--freaky, but cool :)]

[Whistle]

Tzui: Thanks! :D
Yeah, I like Higurashi. I was hooked with the anime (which I still think is a little bit better) but the mangas are a joy too. Especially the colour pages. I'd say buy it, if you have some extra money. And the 2nd volumes are also very thick, so you'd get a lot of reading too.

(And ya noticed how I've bought some Negima? ;))

[Tzui]

Whistle:
Your welcome!
Hrm, I may have to check it out next time I visit my bookstore, maybe read a little to see if it piques my interest. [Sorry, but I'm not that much of a fan of anime xp]
[Yep yep--Negima, along with most of your series, increased. I'd say go buy the rest, but then I'd be a hypocrit for not finishing a lot of my own series. :)]

[holangjai]

expect an update from me this weekend. I've been taking pictures all week but I still need to clean up and get some more boxes for storage before taking the last few photos.

[AkitoZ]

Looking forward to the picture update holangjai. As for me I will also be posting an updated picture of mine some time next week since it's been around a year already.

[bebopxblues]

I might post a new picture of mine only because of sheer boredom, lol. It doesn't look anything different; it's just packed solid now.

[holangjai]

Alright! Finally getting around to it. Lost internet this weekend so I had some more time to clean up and finish taking photos. Many of the series you will see in my collection have gaps in them, either numerically or physically. If it's physical, it's because my friend is borrowing said spot's volumes. If it's numeric, for example Gintama 16, 18, the that would be because I buy my manga from a place where everything's first come first serve. If it's not there, there's a high chance that it won't ever be there again. Those missing volumes will be filled in when I go to Otakon this summer or any other cons i'm contemplating. Without further ado

Main Shelf (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03624.jpg)
This is where I house all the manga still currently being released in America. They are currently in order from publishers. I change the order around alot out of shear boredom. It's a beautiful black bookshelf that's already packed. I'm expecting to buy another one sometime this year.

Here's a couple of close ups in case you were wondering what some series are:
The Front of the first 3 shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03626.jpg)
The Back of the first 3 shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03638.jpg)
The Front of the following 3 shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03629.jpg)
The Back of the following 3 shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03642.jpg)

The Back of the last 2 shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03650.jpg)

Perpendicular to this bookcase is a smaller bookcase which house my small manga, VIZBIG Editions and novels
The front of the small bookcase (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03621.jpg)
The back of the small bookcase (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03618.jpg)
And some closeups for the curious:

back bottom (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03619.jpg)

close these bookcases is my bed. I house most of my over-sized manga on the top of my bed's backboard and well as most novels:
Oversized manga top left (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03598.jpg)
Oversized manga top middle (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03599.jpg)

novels in the bottom right (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03602.jpg)
novels currently on queue (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03597.jpg)

This is the side shelf that's next to my computer. It used to house my manga collection when I first started 9 years ago. It's really just a DVD/VHS rack, but it works. It's currently housing my smaller print manga, my incomplete shojo manga, rave master and some incomplete oversized manga, by which i mean i'm missing a volume or more to finishing collecting what is available:
Side Shelf (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03585.jpg)
Here are some pseudo closeups
Top 3 Shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03586.jpg)
Bottom 3 Shelves (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03587.jpg)

There are a lot of manga stacked around my room simply because I haven't read some yet or they haven't found a space to really be put anywhere. Most of them are incomplete series, like the oversized on the side shelf, missing one of more volumes to be completed. Others, like Hana Yori Dango and Pet Shop of Horrors, are my sister's manga.

Incomplete series (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03591.jpg)
Sister's Manga (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03590.jpg)
miscellaneous manga (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/holangjai/manga%20album/DSC03589.jpg)

I keep most of my complete series in the closet. It's gotten to the point where 60% of my closet space is used up for housing manga. For the time being, I have completed manga put into long comic book boxes which coincidentally fit the height of viz/tp books. They are put in order or publisher and alphabetically. What doesn't go into the boxes gets put into the overhead part in my closet.

And I think that's everything I have. I've sold a lot of manga the last time I updated, but i've also bought a lot recently as well. I'll do a physical count some other time.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Wow! Huge collection! I love how organized your books are. BTW, do you read all of these? Just curious.

[Tzui]

^holangjai
Holy Carp! :O You weren't kidding when you said you had a lot of manga... [my collection feels puny compared to yours. xp]
Do you just go to a bookstore and buy any manga series that they have...? Honestly, and I thought some of the stores I frequent had a lot.

[holangjai]

I have read everything except for the books that are missing volumes to continue and the VIZBIG Editions. I love how the vizbigs look, but I haven't sat down and read them yet.

No, I actually don't buy my books at retail stores. Mostly online. I've also visited a few used bookstores, which is why I have so many sporadic, noncontinuous series. It's also because I've got a lot of series that I want to collect, so whatever becomes available and and on hand i'll grab. So I guess you are sorta right, lol.

[bebopxblues]

:w00t:

Really, that's about the only thing I can 'say' right now because I'm absolutely speechless!

[Somnia]

Wow Holangjai! Very impressive! Where did you get your Black bookcase at? I have a pretty huge wood bookcase that's about the same depth as yours I bought at best buy. I kinda flubbed up when I put it together as I installed some of the shelves backwards where the rough part is exposed. Oh well, it was my first time putting something together like that by myself, tee-hee. I will try and post pics sometime soon!

[holangjai]

I got mine from Ikea. It was rather inexpensive and you can buy extra shelfs to make 8 rows

Wow. I have never seen a collection that is bigger than mine until now!! O___O;;;

[Kinol]

Just one question... how much have you spent on all the mangas you have?

[holangjai]

too much is all i can say.

[bebopxblues]

Well, its been a really long time since I've posted an update, and I was bored so I figured what the hell. So here you go, an update!

Sorry for the slight blur of some of the photos. I wasn't really paying attention and didn't care to take them over again.

I think that's pretty much it. My backlog has two more volumes since I took the picture and I have a ton of manga (that I don't want) shoved in my closet somewhere as well as four plastic bins full of magazines, figures, and other random crap. At the rate I go of buying manga, this will probably be out of date in a few days. xD

Pictures of my anime collection are posted in the "DVD Collection" thread in the Blu-Ray & DVD section.

[HeadlessPony]

Here is mine. Keep in mind that every shelf has two layers (Except the top shelf.)

http://i27.tinypic.com/15pn1ja.jpg


It's so unorganized.

[Tzui]

bebopxblues and HeadlessPony, you guys sure have a lot of manga :o Kind of makes me more depressed about my collection...

Oh, and by the way HeadlessPony, your complete lack of organization bugs me. xp Can't you at least try to keep them in order...?

[holangjai]

awesome collections bebopxblues and HeadlessPony. Talk about organized chaos. I love seeing lots of different series on a shelf

Thanks! And its not your collection, so you have no right telling someone how to keep theirs. ;)

And thanks holangjai! Although mine is nothing compared to yours!

[tigeress02]

Been meaning to do this for quite a while, but I haven't done it till now because it's a little difficult to take pics of my manga collection. They are stored in these clear drawers, so I have to take each one out to take a pic of it. There are 12 drawers in the unit, with 8 of them totally filled and 1 that's half filled. The tenth one has a few volumes of Clamp no Kiseki, a few artbooks and some other books. I also have all issues of Shojo Beat and a few years worth of Shonen Jump that I store under my bed in a couple clear totes. A good chunk of my collection is in manga bags, but I only use them to keep track of what I've read as they are already well protected inside the drawers.

As I said in another thread, I'd like to get rid of the drawers and extend the wallshelves down to accommodate my manga. I'll probably do this next year, as I'll have run out of room in the drawers by then.

[Melion]

Finally got around to sort out all my manga now into two shelfs, one is on-going manga and the other shelf is manga I have finished or lost interest in.

On-going: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9199/cimg1124.jpg

Melion: I like how your figurines seem to defy the law of gravity :P

ALSO, did you draw all of those doodles on the walls behind all the manga? Or is it some kind of funky wallpaper? Curious minds need to know....

Also, the scribbles are part of the shelf, to be exact, it's shakespeare quotes.

Hahaha, yeah I thought so. It blew my mind right at first then I had an "Aha!" moment....

[bebopxblues]

Awesome collections, everyone! Glad to see that you guys decided to post pictures, too. ^_^

[Tzui]

I suppose I'm in line for the 'well-needed manga update':
http://i36.tinypic.com/16kxh0y.jpg
Currently, it is at 298 manga. I think the last time I posted I was at 232, so I sure have bought quite a bit since last year.

Right photo (http://i34.tinypic.com/j8dt8g.jpg.). My manga bookcases that I keep the majority of my manga in, and who are often rearranged. [I moved a few things around from normal, just to get everything in one nice shot.]
Left photo (http://i36.tinypic.com/fxuudd.jpg). These bookshelves are actually in the side of my closet. My dad and I built them a few months ago, and they are proving very useful :) Actually, all the books on the very top and half the ones in the middle belong in a cardboard box, but I didn't want to have three pictures [those are the cheap $1 ones I've found].
On another note, I had to remove most of my clothes in my closet to take the picture, and I was a bit disappointed I couldn't capture my books on my bottom as well.

Small but growing collection

[hiei_kurama27]

So I built shelves finally! They go from ceiling to floor. I had more stuff than I thought, but everything (DVDs and manga) barely fit. And I've got material for another set of shelves for the wall on the other side of that corner. Manga on the bottom half. ^_^

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/hiei_kurama27/collection%20pics/DSC01012.jpg

[holangjai]

Beautiful collections everyone! It seems these days that the only way to adequately store our overflow of manga and/or anime merchandise is to build shelves. Granted if I actually sat down and laid out a plan on how to build a shelf I could probably do it because i'm pretty crafty, but alas I am also lazy.

I just updated not too long ago and i've purchased a lot throughout July and August. I might need to take new photos soon. Mendokusai, nee?

[mlisette23]

Great collections everyone! Tzui great idea to build a shelf in your closet, you gave me a new summer project to do...next summer:).

[fly on the wall]

I really enjoying checking out these collections.

Im thinking about buying a nice glass shelf for some of my mangas.
Anybody here know how much these shelves cost? ><"

[bebopxblues]

[hiei_kurama27]

You probably do have room for one. My room is small so I had to do some strategic shuffling of furniture to get a nice space. I actually made use of my sorry-excuse for a closet too. :P

[holangjai]

at least you have your own room. My room is big, but I share it with my brother, so putting another shelf up is going to be an undertaking itself. i've got 1 big shelf, one small shelf and one medium shelf up in my room along with 2 beds, 2 computer tables, a tv stand and one drawer for clothes. I need to somehow get rid of the small and medium shelves and buy another large shelf to fit here

[DarkNataku]

Here is my cases, I try to keep everything in alphabetical order but the "big" books only fit in certain shelves.

[Somnia]

@DarkNataku - Hey I have the same exact bookcase you have! I got mine at Best Buy and I can relate about the Larger manga books only fitting in certain shelves. I have all 5 volumes of the Battle Royale Ultimate hardback editions that I keep on the very top of the bookcase. That way I'll have more room for future smaller manga, or anime dvds.

[DarkNataku]

I will need another one by the end of this year. Best Buy site says it doesn't have any but I'm sure if I walk in I can find one. There is this sweet bookcase online that is 6ft 4in by 6ft 4in but I can't fit it in my room.

[jenniferallain]

I apologize in advance if there is already a thread like this ...

Anyway, there is a DVD collection thread, so I figured a manga collection thread was a good idea.

We have how much manga do you have, who has a crazy amount of manga etc ...

But how about a picture of everyone's collection?

Here's mine:

Probably because that was posted a long time ago, so the link may not work anymore ^^;

Ahhh, I resolve to post another picture soon! I actually sold off a significant amount of my tankoubans (Japanese ones) this year, most of them oneshot smutty shoujos, but I kept a few of those that I liked xD I think I'll check back by October after I've bought some more books :D

[bebopxblues]

That's because I posted it FIVE YEARS AGO. So, I obviously deleted the picture. Besides, after FIVE YEARS, do you really think my collection would still look like that?

So I'm thinking of building my own bookcase. All I need to do is buy materials and a sander. I'm thinking of making it 5ft 5in long and about 6ft high I like the bookcase that I have now but having to rearrange my books because they don't fit in certain shelves bugs me. So when I build mine i want to start the shelves from the ground up making sure that all of them are the same height. I'm going to try to model it after the ones I have but I don't want to use a long board across because then after a while it will bend. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as well as what type of wood or finish. Thanks

Your going to need more then just a sander your going to need a hole bunch of tool and it will cost you 3 times as much as to buy one. But if you to do it you mite what to build it where your going to put it its going to be heavy

Hahaha you might be right and after a good nights sleep I'm starting to reconsider.

AnimeNation, I have really enjoyed viewing your manga collections. I wish I would have stuck with it seven years ago. I'll be purchasing my first batch of manga this month, so give me some time before I get one of these collection pictures up. However, I do have a four-row bookshelf full of anime, but that's not for this thread.

[iCupboard]

Well, hi. I've taken an interest in manga, not so long ago. I've not much manga, but I really love the titles that I own. I do not own a title that I do not love. (Maybe except for the Vampire Knight 4 whom I never read, because I want to start all fresh and at all, at volume 1)

This is just my collection since moving to Japan 9 months ago. I've got 4-5 times this at home in the States, but obviously I couldn't bring it with me.

I only buy manga in Japanese. The Gundam 00 volumes that are in English came with the DVDs. There are also some novels on the shelf. I have phone book manga too but they're on a different shelf with my magazines.

[Kai Shadows]

I'll Post My Manga Collection in maybe a month or so because im moving house in march

Hello,

I'm french people, and as I've seen here nice collections, I decided to show mine, especially by the fact that in France, we have a good and wide choice in the "manga world" :) (with more than 30 different publishers)

I started my collection 16 years ago, but my collection is not entirely mine. Indeed, I share it with my wife (who has the same passion as me) since 5 years.

So, we manage our collection on a manga/DVD collection management site (the most important on the french web), where there are over 20 000 collectors people : http://www.manga-sanctuary.com/collection/

So, here are my photos stored on this site, hope you'll enjoy it :

This is about 4500~5000 volumes and 500 DVD/BR (not all the collection nevertheless. Indeed, we have 4 other shelves in our chamber for "not-yet-read" mangas).

WOW very nice

[holangjai]

Super Awesome collection. It sucks that in America we have less titles out, but I think it's because of the economy and how niche manga is. Not to mention didn't French manga have like 10-20 years of a head start compared to the US?

Anyways that's amazing that you and your spouse both collect together. Hopefully I can do something like that in the future too.

The first manga title published in France was in 1979, but until 1990, less than 10 books have been published !
The success of manga in France really began in the early 90's with Akira and Dragonball, but the main point that had make difference is probably the fact that japanimation was very very popular since 1978 (beginning with and including Grendizer, captain herlock, Candy candy etc...). For example, all the megahit of Toei animation (saint seiya/DB/ hokuto no Ken...) were released in 1988. So, together with such interest and importance with the old market of French/Belgium comics (and their many publishers), everything came for the success. (it seems that recent years, the French market has become the second largest market in the world of manga after Japan.)

Currently in France, we have almost 150 volumes published per month (and we bought only half) and it represents 40% of the comics market. The most interesting is perhaps also the publication of titles from the underground and heritage titles : even if it does not sell very well, fans are served (but on the other side only 9 (shônen) titles make 50% of the sales : naruto alone make 15%...)


Anyways that's amazing that you and your spouse both collect together. Hopefully I can do something like that in the future too.

I wish for you too (more than that, like me, she is a big fan of video games, especially RPG : geek's dream :lol: )
In fact, we met on a manga/anime forum, then IRL, then...:P

Our collection is 2400 volumes for her (400 series) and 3500 for me (600 series) : we'll reach soon the 6000 mark (and the 1000 series! )

The stats (http://www.manga-sanctuary.com/collection.php?id=27539&page=stats&type_collec=ms)


to complete my last post, here is the photo of our (too big) "non-read-yet" volumes :

non-read mangas (http://www.manga-sanctuary.com/collection/photos/27539/0011.jpg)

it is very sad, we do not have enough time to read everything... :(

And last point, I have also almost 400 volumes and 150 single DVD stored at my parent's home (I keep the space for new books in our apartment), so they don't appear on the photos ;)

@Arkiokin

Holy cow, that's a mighty, mighty NICE collection you got there :D

[tttm]

Hello,

I'm french people, and as I've seen here nice collections, I decided to show mine, especially by the fact that in France, we have a good and wide choice in the "manga world" :) (with more than 30 different publishers)

I started my collection 16 years ago, but my collection is not entirely mine. Indeed, I share it with my wife (who has the same passion as me) since 5 years.

So, we manage our collection on a manga/DVD collection management site (the most important on the french web), where there are over 20 000 collectors people : http://www.manga-sanctuary.com/collection/

So, here are my photos stored on this site, hope you'll enjoy it :

Can't say that I'm not a little jealous...lol

[Genet]

Ahhh I haven't visited this thread in such a long time...

I started collecting manga in English in July of 2010. Now my shelf is pretty close to full, but since I'm waiting on a small order of books from amazon, I'll wait for those to come in so I can re-arrange my shelves to take a nice picture. :)

Sad story- I sold my entire collection of Doraemon last year to a dear friend of mine who is a big fan. I know it's in good hands, though, so I'm not too sad. :)
My Japanese collection's been pretty trimmed down...I hope everyone's looking forward to seeing my updated pictures, lol.

Also, Arkiokin, you might have the largest manga collection I've ever seen. Impressive o-o

[Arkiokin]

Thank you guys ! ;)
and done, We just surpassed the 1000 series possessed (excluding duplicate sets) ^^

See you

[hecaitomix]

Hi all

used to post alot here... good to see the old collectors still here :D

[holangjai]

wow, haven't seen you on in a while. What happened? did you stop collecting?

[hecaitomix]

no, i did not stop, just slowed down in buying, current collection is about 2k. most money goes to pvc figures and nendoroids now :D

[holangjai]

you should post a collection photo sometime. I'm sure everyone would like to see what's become of your huge collection

[Kei]

This doesn't include my CCS Master of the Clow, Bakuman or any of my Code Geass Manga.
I would post this in the most recent purchase but I don't know if I should post pics in there or not so I'm putting it here instead.

Got each Volume for $2 except for King of Hell #2 which was $5 from ebay

HO-LY SHITE!!!

It's my dream to have my own library like that! Especially with manga! That is one heck of a collection you have! I am majorly jealous!

[DazzleKitty]

I got some killer new bookshelves in my room. I spent most of yesterday evening and this morning getting all my manga organized on it.

Pic ain't the greatest, sorry.

[firedragon54738]

Wow nice collection

[Somnia]

@DazzleKitty - Wow! That's an awesome collection. What brand of bookcase did you use?

[DazzleKitty]

Actually, I think someone made it. My dad works for a university/hospital, and sometimes they throw out old office furniture to make room for new decor. My dad got to take them home and gave them to me. They are pretty awesome. They are solid and hold lots of weight.

[Somnia]

Wow, that is a very good deal. You could probably spend a fortune on a bookcase that large too. Very cool deal indeed.

Those are amazing shelves. Lucked out on them! And awesome collection. It's great to see i'm not the only person with an overflow!

[DazzleKitty]

Thank you! I actually have 100+ Japanese manga I haven't shelved yet, along with some manga that I am trying to trade off that's not on the shelf yet. I'm trying to leave room for English releases I am collecting. I have only bought like....one manga in the last eight months. I am focusing moreso on anime right now.

I have, however, gotten some manga in trades. But not much lately.

[nekdec]

Really awesome collections in this thread! Wow!
I bought my first mangas around 2002-2003: Golden Boy, Ghost in the Shell and Ranma 1/2. Didn't collect/read much at that time. Last year i started again with some old and new series. Here is a picture:

http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/3703/200711h.th.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/200711h.jpg/)

around 170 mangas, should be enough space for the next time

[firedragon54738]

Nice shelves and very nice collection

They look to be a set of 3 with two bays per set, may I ask where you bought them. Nice collection.

[nekdec]

Thanks!

@DarkNataku, yeah right, three double shelves (normally for CD/DVD). I bought here in germany at trends.de (german furniture shop).

[wigglypuff]

kiben gakuha yotsuya sensei no kaidan is a good horror manga!!
but the title is too long.. haha

[Genet]

This is just my collection since moving to Japan 9 months ago. I've got 4-5 times this at home in the States, but obviously I couldn't bring it with me.

Fellow Japanese manga collector!
Do you collect Japanese manga in the states, too?

~~~

My collection dwindled after I sold off a massive portion to one of my friends. She bought all of my Doraemon volumes, and a vast majority of my one-off shoujos. I really needed the money. Sigh. Back to a small, tiny little collection.

[holangjai]

expect a post from me within the week. I've sold off a lot of stuff, but I still have quite a lot, not to mention a lot of NEW stuff.

Yay! Exciting!

Just out of curiosity, about how many volumes do you think you have right now?
