Manga Collection Pictures

[bebopxblues]

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:

Now, show me yours, please!

Wow, this is an excellent idea^^ Hang on, let me get the digital camera...

edit: Heheh, I had to recharge the camera battery^^; Anyways, here's mine (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/anderdog/comics.jpg).

[Raziel_MGS]

[bebopxblues]

Wow, this is an excellent idea^^ Hang on, let me get the digital camera...

Thanks! :P I'm honestly surprised that no one thought of it before ...

Great collections coming along! ^_^

[Suikoden6880]

Interesting idea....^ ^ I'll take a pic of mine....One moment.

Not a very good pic...I know..>>

My Gravitation manga are on another small shelf in my room...I just didn't feel like taking a pic of it..

Neat collection ^_^ I like your shelves. They almost look like they're floating or something :P

[dark_horse]

That is a great Manga Collection bebopxblues! I like the organization and the figures, plus so many great titles! ^_^

jesus... it looks too huge to be real

[Shining Finger]

Thanks! :P I'm honestly surprised that no one thought of it before ...

Ya. It's a lot easier than having to list what's in your collection^^
It's good to see people's collection nicely displayed. I hope nobody sees this as "my collection is bigger than yours" contest.

PS: I've just uploaded my pic, it's in my previous post^^

[Carmel]

bebopxblues, why's you're Vampire Game volume 1 green? :O

Shining Finger, you own more manga than entire book stores ;)

All I have is a list at listerX (http://listerx.com/browse.asp?SR=2830&FL=100010903)

I'll try and get a pictuire later :)

[Ollin]

After a two year hiatus I'm back into buying manga. This is my haul since the June.
http://ollin.us/Pics/1031-001.jpg

I have a couple domestic manga but don't feel like taking pics of them. A list of what I own is in the link below.

[bebopxblues]

Shining Finger, your collection is just ... wow. O_O It boggles my mind!

Aogiri - You have a great collection as well! Great titles!

dark_horse - Thanks! My collection has grown a bit ... :P

Ollin - Good to see you back! I wish I could read Japanese :( Can you speak it fluently too?

Carmel - Vol. 1 isn't supposed to be green? O_o

[Carmel]

Well mine is purple... I don't know, I've never seen a green one, but when I look on listerX or the Tokyopop site the cover is sort of green... so I guess it's something Tokyopop changed, I bet I have a later version of the manga.

Probably. :P

[Shining Finger]

Carmel, bebopxblues; Heheh, I've been collecting for a while and the Japanese versions are a few dollars cheaper than the US versions^^ So...

Ollin; Wow, you have School Rumble vol 10 already O_o I need to check the bookstore again. I see that you have Shuffle comic a la carte anthologies; are they consistently good? I have doubts about any anthologies because the quality often isn't consistent between artists.

[Ollin]

Ollin; Wow, you have School Rumble vol 10 already O_o I need to check the bookstore again. I see that you have Shuffle comic a la carte anthologies; are they consistently good? I have doubts about any anthologies because the quality often isn't consistent between artists.
Yeah that came out in Sept. I forgot to pre-order the special edition before it sold out. >_< The artwork for the Shuffle anthologies aren't always consistent but if your a fan of Shuffle in general it's a good read. If you want the official manga get Days in the Bloom. BTW Vol. 5 of the anthologies and Vol. 4 of Days of the Bloom comes out in December. :)

[Shining Finger]

Thanks for the info^^
As I recall, School Rumble vol. 7 has the limited edition mobile phone strap with figure (I bought the regular edition btw). What comes with vol. 10?

Ah yes, Days In the Bloom is nice. I missed vol 1 & 2, so I might have to order them if they don't restock. It takes about a month after the release date before Sydney Kinokuniya have the book in stock.

[LegolianM]

:O Is that Berserk on your bottom shelf, Ollin?? :wub:

I have a picture of my collection, but I'll have to wait until I get home before I post it since it's not uploaded onto any photo site yet...

[Ollin]

Thanks for the info^^

Don't quite remember. -_-;

:O Is that Berserk on your bottom shelf, Ollin?? :wub:

Yup all 29 volumes.

[bebopxblues]

I wish I knew Japanese. :( Oh, well. I'll just stick with the normal English translations. :P

[Shining Finger]

I wish I knew Japanese. :( Oh, well. I'll just stick with the normal English translations. :P
Well, I didn't know Japanese either until I started learning it^^ My parents didn't let me learn Japanese until I became fluent in English T_T

It's worth learning^^ You'll have access to the latest releases, all titles, cheaper books (more manga for you^^), and no need to rely on fansubs/scanlations where some expressions are lost in the translation.

[bebopxblues]

Cute manga collection Animeforever. ^_^

[bebopxblues]

I'm storing my doll furniture and things which will give me more room and hopefully I can pester my parents into letting me get another bookshelf. *shifty eyes* I'll take a picture if that ever happens ... :P

[dark_horse]

So Aogiri Yuuhi, Buy Many Manga??? That is a huge collection!!! It's so beautiful! ^_^

[Dr. Ezra]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/Animeforever04/103_0371.jpg
Do you only buy the first volume of every series? :P

[Suzaku no Miko]

Aogiri Yuuhi, I'm so jealouse of your collection, in the first picture especially, you have a lot of manga titles I want to collect! ^_^ :P

I'll probably post a picture of my collection soon, It's a pretty good size, ~50 in all..... ^_^

[bebopxblues]

We'll be looking forward to it, Suzaku! ^_^

[Hunter Yumi]

[Magdalena]

Ah, well, this seems fun, so here is my pile of stuff:

http://photobucket.com/albums/d136/MesserMeister/?action=view&current=Dscn0586.jpg

I only wish I had more room in my room...I think I'll have to invent some sort of shelf that utilizes ceiling space -_-;

[quantumkid]

Wow, this is an excellent idea^^ Hang on, let me get the digital camera...

edit: Heheh, I had to recharge the camera battery^^; Anyways, here's mine (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/anderdog/comics.jpg).

My mouth literally hung open for 10 minutes seeing that picture. Shining Finger, I bow before you, grovel in the dirt beneath your feet. From Warhammer to figurines, your collection has it all. That is what I aspire to. Great work, man.

[Evil_Koala]

I guess I'll post mine...not much point though o_o

[Magdalena]

Hahaha, *snuggles*
I'm always glad to find people who like those series, too :naughty:

Ehehe, it only showed that I have no life^^;
Wow, I didn't think anyone here would know about Warhammer. Do you play Warhammer too?

[Carmel]

haha, Model and Immortal Rain are great ^_^

[bebopxblues]

I guess I'll post mine...not much point though o_o

Don't say that. We would love to see it!

[Japhyl]

I don't have a digital camera, so I can't post mine...but I listed all the manga I have in another thread.

[quantumkid]

Ehehe, it only showed that I have no life^^;
Wow, I didn't think anyone here would know about Warhammer. Do you play Warhammer too?

You bet I do. Both 40k and Fantasy. I've got an 8,000 point High Elf army in Fantasy and 4,000 points Dark Eldar. I have a couple of models from the Tau codex also.

Sweet! So other people like Immortal Rain too. Yeesh, people in my area stare at me like a cow at an oncoming train when I mention that title... like... "Naniiiii?" Glad to hear it does have a following.

[Shining Finger]

OMG!! O_o and I thought my 3,000pt Dark Eldar army was way too big. I got too many DE warrior models (80), I'm thinking of using them as if they were Termagants XD

Back to topic: I've just got School Rumble vol.10 limited edition. It has a pamphlet for class 2-C's Sleeping Beauty play and alternative cover for School Rumble vol.1 (it has a zoomed out picture of Tenma, making it consistent with the other books)

A lot of people seem to be reading/watching School Rumble. I know it hasn't been licensed by an American company (as far as I know at least), but is it any good?

I'm loving it to bits^^ It's a love comedy (and not harem), but some people might get annoyed by the side stories in between which has little to do with the romantic side of the story. I guess I'm also starting to get used to School Rumble's unpredictability (who'd thought they would have a pool hockey and BB gun war just to decide what the class will do for the school festival). I'm starting to wonder what'll happen to the original plot of Tenma having to confess her love to Karasuma before he goes overseas in one year time. Seems like it's not mentioned anymore.

If you enjoyed Azumanga Daioh and love stories, I think you'll enjoy this too^^

[Tsena]

Wow, you people have so many! I wish I could afford all the ones I want ;A;

[quantumkid]

Been painting/assembling/playing since before I was into anime... so... so very long ago...

[bebopxblues]

Keep the pictures coming! :P I love these kinds of threads and get depressed when they simmer down, lol.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Del Rey just recently licensed School Rumble. :D I'm glad it's finally coming to America, since I really wanted to read it...XD I hope the anime comes over sometime soon as well. ^_^ It's good, from what I've seen and read. :)

Back on-topic- I would post my collection pictures, but I don't have a working digital camera right now...:P I'll post a picture or two soon, though. :P

[Nyarlathotep]

My camera has ****** resolution, so I took 4 close ups.

[LidorBa]

Wait..... did you find all of this in the garbage???

[gyizpe]

I didn't see this actually. I just found this image on the web.
I assume there are about 450 books, maybe it have at least 3000 dollars worth.

[LidorBa]

He\She could have earned lots of cash from selling it second-hand....
There sure is a lot of shoujo in there...

Shoplifted? That's not exactly something to be proud of ...

[Baka Deshi]

I assume there are about 450 books, maybe it have at least 3000 dollars worth.

Not likely. Manga is much cheaper in Japan than it is over here (it's about the only thing I can really think of that's cheaper). You can get brand new tankouban for only a few hundred yen.

[Nyarlathotep]

Shoplifted? That's not exactly something to be proud of ...

Of course it is. Especially since culture is our birthright and literature is culture.

[throughhim413]

Wow, this is an excellent idea^^ Hang on, let me get the digital camera...

edit: Heheh, I had to recharge the camera battery^^; Anyways, here's mine (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/anderdog/comics.jpg).
That is probably one of the most amazing things I have seen in a long time. I am very impressed Shining Finger. If I had even a fraction of your collection I would be so happy...

@Nyarlathotep: Your excuse for stealing is lame. I don't think I've ever heard someone try to justify theft like that. Things that other people put hard work into making are not your birthright. If you don't feel guilty for stealing all of those I feel quite sorry for you. This is about as kindly as I can put it.

Back on topic, I can't post my manga collection right now since I have most of it boxed up... If I unpack it sometime in the near future, perhaps I'll post a picture here.

[Shining Finger]

Thanks, throughhim413^^ I would only have about a bit more than 1/2 of what books I have now if I had been collecting the English version because of the price. =/

There sure is a lot of shoujo in there...
Looks more like nothing but erotic manga to me... O_o;
How could anyone throw them away like that T_T Probably some angry wife or girlfriend...

[bebopxblues]

Back on topic, I can't post my manga collection right now since I have most of it boxed up... If I unpack it sometime in the near future, perhaps I'll post a picture here.

Hopefully you'll get the opportunity. :) I'm still pestering my parents for another bookshelf, so until then, no updated pictures from me since it hasn't exactly changed ... :P

[Fukki]

Oo this is a really nice idea bebopxblues. I always enjoy looking at other people's collection ^^ Don't have a digicam tho so I can't take a pic of mine, although I do have a picture of my manga collection from 10 years ago lol :P maybe I should post that one up instead until I can get a more recent pic? ^_^

Lol, that would be fine. ^_^

[bebopxblues]

Come on everyone! Let's keep this thread going!

[xizze]

It's massive to say the least, envy me ! my collection (http://www.madman.com.au/sleeve/tpbk-4494.jpg)

... at least it's a good start ^_^

[bebopxblues]

Lol, it is a start xizze. Are you a newbie to manga?

No more pictures anyone? :(

[Bezerker]

Ive got another 15 books coming in the mail, but heres my manga collection as of right now:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/xpokeofdoomx/manga.jpg

Yea, i really dont have any open bookshelves (theyre currently occupied by concert memorabilia and stuff), so i used an empty drawer for my manga. I think its better than a shelf, as it provides protection from dust/air/rain/etc. Of course, i think i may have to expand to two drawers once those books arrive...

[DazzleKitty]

I got bored and took pics of mine. I felt kinda stupid standing there taking a picture of my bookshelf, though. I'm not a digital camera expert, so the pics aren't the greatest.

Agreed. :)

[Meganly-chan]

Unfortunately I'm schooling away from home right now, so I don't have any access to my collection for picture's sake. I do have a list, with pictures provided, of what I have (not all of it, though. It hasn't been updated in awhile and some stuff isn't available in the database for me to list it):

Domestic (http://www.listerx.com/browse.asp?SR=106&FL=1429)

[bebopxblues]

Thanks :) I d/l Bleach subs but it may be easier just to buy the manga...I'm poor though so until I win the lottery I'll stick to subs :P

Bleach manga is only $7.95 which is nice compared to the $10 I usually spend. O_o

Umm, I don't even want to know what you pop.

However, being a college student, I find myself being a _pauper_ also.

However, thanks to online auctions, my collection has grown. Picture coming soon.

[Holy Knight]

Hmm, I'll try to get a pic up and running in here soon. Just gotta find that camera among the millions of books that litter my room...Books, not manga! I have exactly 99 of them as of now :)

[Shining Finger]

Aw, don't worry, I'm poor too. :)
We would've been richer if we hadn't been buying all that manga XD

[FURUBA4EVER]

We would've been richer if we hadn't been buying all that manga XD

Seriously...:P If I didn't buy manga...I would probably spend a lot more on anime. I've spent a lot on my manga collection...-_-; (Many of you have too, I'm sure. ;))

[Hisoka]

I'll have to take some pics of mine when I get a chance. I'm probably somewhere around the 80's. I haven't counted in a while. Anyway, nice collections everyone.

[bebopxblues]

Can't wait to see your collection, everyone! Great to this this thread coming along! :) I'm hoping for a new bookshelf for Christmas and possibly some new spiffy merchandise. ^_^

[Evil_Koala]

Lol, I think you mean 'pauper'. :)

Christmas is almost here! Whoop!

[bebopxblues]

So, is anyone expecting a significant amount of manga for Christmas that will extend their collection? I know I'm not ... :(

[FURUBA4EVER]

So, is anyone expecting a significant amount of manga for Christmas that will extend their collection? I know I'm not ... :(

Not really...-_-; My parents don't buy me manga unless I ask for it...:P (Also, I'm not making a list this year, so that makes matters worse...:P) So...I'm not expecting any anime or manga this year. ^_^

[Bezerker]

So, is anyone expecting a significant amount of manga for Christmas that will extend their collection? I know I'm not ... :(

Nope, because there are actually people other than christians on this board...

[bebopxblues]

Well, that was a rude comment. If I change Christmas to holidays would you feel better?

[Holy Knight]

You don't need to be christian to enjoy giving and recieving gifts. I know little kids would sell their soul to have something under their tree at Christmas...

[bebopxblues]

Okay, let me try again. Is anyone expecting a significant amount of manga for the HOLIDAYS that will extend their collection?

[Suikoden6880]

I might get a large amount this x-mas....Depending if I make a list or my parents just randomly give me money.....Which awesome in my book.

[Shining Finger]

Okay, let me try again. Is anyone expecting a significant amount of manga for the HOLIDAYS that will extend their collection?
Absolutely not me, and I'm a Catholic too O_o;

Don't worry about the Christmas/Holiday thingy, you were just being specific^^ It's not like you're asking someone's Christian name when you meant to say given name.
e.g.
A: What's your Christian name?
B: Uhhh, Muhammad... ^^;;;;

[Carmel]

I don't understand this large over throwing of the word Christmas and it being offensive, until a few years ago it was fine and now there's all these people that act like it's a dirty word <_< It's a habit to say "Merry Christmas", even if you're not Christian or have anything to do with Christmas I don't see why it should be that offensive, it's basically just meaning have a good time during the holidays. If someone was to tell me "Happy Hanukkah!", for example, I wouldn't go "OMG! You're offending me!", people are over reactioning to the point of changing Christmas song lyrics ... K, that was my rant for the day ^_^ And yes, I think I'll be getting a few manga for Christmas.

[DazzleKitty]

Yes, I'm expecting a lot of manga for Christmas. At least six yaoi titles, and a few other random ones I'll get getting with cash.

[selina__andor]

Yes, I'm expecting a lot of manga for Christmas. At least six yaoi titles, and a few other random ones I'll get getting with cash.

I want yaoi titles for Christmas :( I don't think that'd go over well with my mom/dad/siblings... Maybe I can con my cousin into it ^_^ If I can, I want the other two volumes of Legal Drug I didn't get to pick up last week T_T

[Mr. Referee]

My manga collection is still small... but it's gonna grow with Christmas ^_^ I have so much that I need to get, now that I've moved to a place with stores that sell manga :P

Tokyo Babylon Vol 1
Gundam Wing Endless Waltz
DeathNote Vol 1 & 2
Shaman King Vol 1
.hack//AI buster Vol 1
.hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT Vol 1-3
DNAngel Vol 1 & 4
Lagoon Engine Vol 1-3
Rizelmine Vol 1

[bebopxblues]

I agree with everything you said, Carmel. I mean seriously. Come on, people.

Glad to see that some of you are expecting new manga! I'm not, lol. But again, my parents wouldn't know what to buy ... :)

[Mr. Referee]

Glad to see that some of you are expecting new manga! I'm not, lol. But again, my parents wouldn't know what to buy ... :)

Neither would mine, if they ever thought about buying it for me. My friends sometimes get me manga for Christmas though. They now what to buy me ^_^

[Shining Finger]

After a two year hiatus I'm back into buying manga. This is my haul since the June.
http://ollin.us/Pics/1031-001.jpg

I have a couple domestic manga but don't feel like taking pics of them. A list of what I own is in the link below.
I think I saw Shakugan no Shana novels in your collection (they can't be Char's Counterattack novels eh?). Are they good? I'm in the mood for novels right now^^

The last time I was at the bookstore, I saw 6 volumes of Shakugan no Shana novels (0-5) which seemed overwhelming.

[hiei_kurama27]

Here is my manga collection. I found I can save alot of room on my shelf by stacking them like that. My brother's camera settings are all messed up. Sorry for the low quality.

I agree with everything you said, Carmel. I mean seriously. Come on, people.

Glad to see that some of you are expecting new manga! I'm not, lol. But again, my parents wouldn't know what to buy ... :)At least someone agrees :D Hehe, if you made a small list of manga you'd like they'd know what to buy! I figured if I didn't do that I'd end up with a bunch of odd little things for Christmas that I'd never use (like last year), so I made a list and gave it to my dad.

Actually, I made a list of artbooks for them. :) I figured that artbooks were harder to come by. Besides, I can get manga any time. :P

[Lankard]

Ah, well, this seems fun, so here is my pile of stuff:

I only wish I had more room in my room...I think I'll have to invent some sort of shelf that utilizes ceiling space -_-;

use your dresser drawers. Stack clean cloths next to your bed, this way, you can roll out of bed, look at your feet, and decide what to wear that day. Or you could take plastic bins like these: http://www.creativespacesusa.com/ProductImages/storage%20solutions/IDX4modulon.gif, and bolt them to your ceiling, but bolt a side to the ceiling so the opening in it, is facing outward, not upward.

I could do that, but I think it might ruin the look I was going for :P .

I could ask for some manga for christmas, but I'd rather just buy it myself online where I don't have to pay retail or feel bad about making others spend too much.

[alterfate]

wah, so many manga. just curious, someone said its cheaper if you buy from Japan, is it translated then? I mean, are those all translated?

[Bezerker]

Japanese manga definately is cheaper (amazon has some issues of the japanese FMA manga for only 50 cents) But since its japanese manga, i'd imagine that its all untranslated.

[Shining Finger]

wah, so many manga. just curious, someone said its cheaper if you buy from Japan, is it translated then? I mean, are those all translated?
Yes it is cheaper. A regular volume would cost about $4 USD brand new ($8 AUD after shipping here, which is about $6 USD)
Translated to English? Hell no^^; but some series are available in bilingual version (which cost more) to help Japanese people learn English.

Some might think that the language tuition cost before one's able to read them isn't worth it though... but being able to read books which are not licenced yet: priceless :D

[Tsena]

I don't have a digital camera, but this is my collection:

[Bezerker]

Well, since ive only got 2 more books to come in the mail, might as well take a pic of my collection as of now. The pics are kinda big (if i shrink em down they lose a lot of quality) so im just gonna provide links, rather than post the direct image. I keep my manga in my dresser as i really dont have any bookshelf space. I think ive gotten a decent collection, for someone who's only been in it for 2 months.

K, on topic:
Its all about 8 to 9 years worth of collecting so it ought to be a little impressive. -_-; Though it does look an awful lot more imposing since I've stacked them. I can't believe I didn't think of doing that sooner, it saves so much space (I got the idea from this thread). Before I just put them wherever there was space. ^_^

Come on everyone! Bust out those cameras!

Also, if you don't have a digicam, but you do have a scanner, you could always scan pictures developed from a regular camera. Alas, that takes a lot of effort. Lol, considering I'm a lazy bum and wouldn't want to do that myself. ^_^

Just an idea I thought I'd throw out there.

[Bezerker]

Im waiting til i get the 12 books i bought online in the mail before i take another picture. Seems everytime i take a pic, i end up buying even more manga online, my collection will be taking up 3 drawers as soon as the 12 arrive in the mail.

Hopefully soon ill be getting a nice .hack Tokyopop manga stand to hold some of my books in.

[FURUBA4EVER]

My scanner's not working at the moment...so I wouldn't be able to scan a pic even if I had one. -_-;

If Bezerker is talking about what I think he is talking about it's the displays you see at bookstores, you can ask to see if they'll give them to you when they're done using them. I got a Fruits Basket one myself:

Yea, the one im talking about is the display that animenation has, and since they're closing the walk-in store, i was told that they'd be getting rid of the displays. Most of the employees have taken dibs on the other displays (DBZ, Gungrave, a really cool FMA one i want...)i am the first (and only, so far) person to ask about the Tokyopop one, so come January 28th, as long as one of the employees doesnt ask for it, it should hopefully be mine.

[bebopxblues]

Wonderful collection, Nyo! You have quite an extensive one! ^_^

Beserker - Is Animenation closing the store or just moving to another location?

[Hagakure]

My small but modest English Manga Collection. About 400 Books.
*deleted*


http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8306/boxsetcollecton5lu.jpg

[bebopxblues]

Nice collection! And I don't really think 400 manga is small. o_O

[Bezerker]

Beserker - Is Animenation closing the store or just moving to another location?

Basically, theyre turning the walk-in store, into a showcase of their action figures/statues. There will be computer access so that you can buy stuff off the website, and a register for checking out. But there wont be any actual "physical" browsing of items. Also they are getting rid of the walk-ins for Rentanime, so that means that some ppl gotta wait a day(at least) for things to be mailed the distance that i could drive in 20 minutes...

Im kinda hoping for a "store floor" blowout clearance, but most likely they'll just move all the merch on the floor to the warehouse ><.

[bebopxblues]

That's ridiculous. What's their reason for closing for doing all of that? I thought the store did really well?

[Bezerker]

Heres everything that Gene/12string (the owner of AN) said:

The walk-in store is closing at the end of this month. We understand it's an issue for customers who are used to walking in and selecting from their list, but it's in the interest of increasing the efficiency of the overall system as it grows, and the efficiency of our overall online operation. The store is only about 5-10% of our sales, and from a cost/benefit view, it's just time to close it for the good of the bigger picture. The store in it's current form is closing, and with it the walk-in availability of the RentAnime service. It will be more of a 'display area' for our figure collection, cels, etc.

All stock will be moved back into the warehouse, but you'll still be able to come in and buy. It's just that you won't be able to 'browse' physical items in the store, (there will still be website access though), you'll need to check out the website and the merchandise will need to be rung up and retrieved from the warehouse.

Honestly, i dont see how it will make that much of a difference, someone will have to be in the store to work the register, so they'll still have to pay someone to sit there, they still gotta put electricity into the room, also its not like they are going to be leasing the area of the walkin store, so they're not really making any more money by just having empty space. Plus the load of incoming mail will increase greatly with all the Rentanime walk-ins having to mail their dvd's, slowing down the turn around time (to my guess).

Oh well, thats my rant. Maybe we'll get lucky and after a month or so, the walk-in store will open up again. Sorry to anyone who's actually viewing this thread to see manga collection pictures, ill hopefully be getting my manga in a few days so ill take some new pics.

[bebopxblues]

Drawer's just seem better than bookshelves, theyre less exposed to air, rain, dust, etc. So they work fine for me.

Although small, it's a good collection. It's bound to get bigger soon. ^_^

[cherryice]

My books are stacked this way to save space, so it was hard to get good photos of them. These are also pretty old (have to be at least from summertime, since Midori Days has 3 more volumes out now), so my collection has lost some titles (x/1999) and gained quite a few since then:

Hehe, yea, thats why i wanted it, i dont like to keep my books out in the open, but it holds my anime dvd's and videogames pretty well too.

I finally decided to update my listerx, i think i only left 3 books out from it, which ive yet to receive in the mail, and next week ill be placing an order for another 29 books i want, so ill have to update it again pretty soon, maybe ill take some more pics after i get those 29.

its not really great compared to the others but they are my most prized possessions.. (sad huh?)... ;)

[bebopxblues]

Nice collection, Ramen! It's a really nice size and plenty of great titles! Don't worry, they are my most prized possessions, too! :D

[FURUBA4EVER]

Don't worry, they are my most prized possessions, too! :D

Isn't a manga collection almost everyone's (those who posted pictures in this thread) prized collection? I know that my manga collection is one of my most prized possessions. If there were a fire that destroyed my precious manga...I don't know what I would do (especially since I spent so much money). O_O That's a thought I don't really want to think about...-_-;

[RamenBoy]

Thanks, Im ordering Naruto 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Yotsuba&! 2, 3 off my local bookstore right now.. so I hope in a couple of months I can fill out off the spaces in my "mini" shelf. KEEP ON POSTING THE PICTURES.. i love looking at other's collections.. :P

I know what you mean. I always worry about fires or some other disaster. I have three collections going for me(anime, manga, ponies) , and if any of them got destroyed, I'd be crushed.

[bebopxblues]

I agree! I've put so much money into my collection and to just lose it ... gah, that would be devastating. Let's hope nothing like that happens. :)

[RamenBoy]

Yup.. I've gotten close to my manga being stolen..... My house got robbed once and my manga shelf got knocked down.. scattering my books everywhere... meh...

[StXopher]

Thats why you always keep something valuable yet very heavy near your collection.

(Hmmm take the books or the gold plated plasma screen with the concrete base? Hmmmm.....)

[RamenBoy]

haha! thats creative.. yet intriging..

[bebopxblues]

Yup.. I've gotten close to my manga being stolen..... My house got robbed once and my manga shelf got knocked down.. scattering my books everywhere... meh...

I would have died if I had my manga stolen! I know that sounds a bit extreme, but come on, it's the manga! :D

What burglar, in their right minds, would steal someone's manga (unless he was a fan, which is highly unlikely)? O_o I'd think things like jewelry and electronics would come first...Also, the anime collection would go before the manga since we all know most burglars don't like to read. :P

i would, but im a fan so. If i was desperate enough i would hold people ransom for their weight in manga books, so naturally i would hold Rosanne's fat behind ransom for manga, if for every pound she had, was the number of pounds of manga volumes they'd trade me XD

[RamenBoy]

haha, I hope you were only kidding cause thats kind of.. umm.. whats the word im looking for................. disturbing.......yet.................... . very.......... intriging..... xD

You never know ... There just might be a masked manga robber out there somewhere ... :)

[RamenBoy]

guess what? My manga order just arrived!! woot my bottom shelf is filled now.. now for the top.......... I wont take a picture yet.. its not a dramatic difference.... maybe if I get my top shelf half filled......................... anytways I ordered 5 naruto books and 2 Yotsuba&!

[Lankard]

haha, I hope you were only kidding cause thats kind of.. umm.. whats the word im looking for................. disturbing.......yet.................... . very.......... intriging..... xD

lol, thats funny, lol....no i wasnt kidding, if i was desperate or crazy enough, i would do that.

[FURUBA4EVER]

i would, but im a fan so. If i was desperate enough i would hold people ransom for their weight in manga books, so naturally i would hold Rosanne's fat behind ransom for manga, if for every pound she had, was the number of pounds of manga volumes they'd trade me XD

O.O;;

*also looks at Lankard's post above hers*

O.O *goes to hide her manga so Lankard won't find it if he ever becomes so crazed* You won't be getting my manga anytime soon, buddy! XD

[Lankard]

no, i was saying that i would hold someone hostage, and the ransom would be their weight in manga, i never said i'd steal it from someone, i mean, that doesnt mean i wouldnt, but hey, lol

[bebopxblues]

Haha, manga heist. Picturing that just amuses me so.

Anyway, back on topic! Bring on the pictures! :)

[yellowjacket621]

I just got in a nice big manga shipment. Here's the current collection:

Yessss. Another BECK fan. Cool collection, btw.

[FURUBA4EVER]

Hm...A lot of people seem to like BECK...Maybe I should start reading it. XD (It's past twenty volumes, though...I don't know if I can handle another long series. @_@)

[bebopxblues]

Great collection, yellow! It's fun to see more collection pictures! And anyone who likes Death Note sure has my vote! :)

[bebopxblues]

Pictures anyone? I need to get a job so my collection can grow more, lol.

[Kitsune-sama]

No piccie of mai collection...I only just got mai camera ^^; .
You can check out mai collection here (http://www.listerx.com/browse.asp?SR=4191&FL=100021638).

I'll try to get a picture posted this weekend ^_^ .

[bebopxblues]

Looking forward to it! This thread needs to get back on track! :D

[RamenBoy]

dont worry, im gonna post up my collection again after I get my new shelf from ikea tonight lol.

[bebopxblues]

Sounds good, lol. I think after my birthday (March 23) I'll take a picture. We'll see if I receive anything that adds to my collection. :)

[Lifthrasir]

I know the quality is bad. I dont take pictures much. If you want close ups I'll get some.

Some of those manga there, mostly ones at the bottom friends gave to me or I received as gifts. I personally read manga at bookstores (I used to work at one) but if I like the series enough I buy them.

[bebopxblues]

Wonderful collections, guys! Lifthrasir, I really like those bookshelves! ^_^ Kitsune-sama, I like the way your manga is set up and you seem up to speed with manga releases! Great collections!

[Lifthrasir]

Thanks. I've been collecting since about 2002 or so, but I used to go to bookstores and just read the mangas. I always made sure I was careful as to not damage them. As a kid I never had the money to pay for them (who's pay 17 dollars+tax for manga?). Now I'm in college and I'm taking Japanese courses. I'm having that weird feeling that once I learn Japanese, should I still buy translated manga?

I picked up a few raw mangas in Chicago for really cheap, and if that's the case I can save myself money that way.

[bebopxblues]

My manga collection has grown quite a bit, so a new picture is in store! I will take one as soon as I have the time.

In the meantime, post pictures of your collections! It makes me sad when this thread stops, lol.

[Chousho]

Just a quick question for anybody that knows.

Does anybody know where I can get a case like they have at Waldens or BN?

[animeotaku99]

You can buy one from them possibly,
or put your name on it to recieve it when they arent going to use it anymore.

[RamenBoy]

what do you mean case? And do you mean BN as in Barnes and Nobles? Correct me if I'm wrong but do you mean the case as in the spinny shelf with the tokyopop logo on it? Anyways I will take a picture as soon as I get my shipment in full of 11 vol of bleach, the fma artbook and naruto and deathnote. I TOTALLY SUPPORT THIS THREAD!! PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!

[ronin_manji]

[bebopxblues]

[ronin_manji]

Yea.... I wanna see that update pic...I looked at everyones soooo far...and I like this thread....ill try to get a few of my friends to post there pics on here.

[RamenBoy]

haha, im sure bebop and me would be glad to see more pictures posted here thats for sure. Please support this awsome thread! :D

[SSJ2Cloud]

i would but well here are some reasons

1: i dont own much manga like only a couple :(
2: i dont know how the hell to put pics from my digital camera to my computer because it wont work
3: im trying to get more anime now than manga

[bebopxblues]

That's okay. Maybe one day you will have a spur of the moment kind of thing and decide to post! It's no big deal though, don't worry about it! :)

[RamenBoy]

Yea its ok like Bebop said, I bought my first few mangas in 03 and didnt really buy anymore until 05.. from 5 mangas to 60 something. You'll be surprised how much you can buy in just a short amount of time if you really get into it. Bebop im gonna post pictures up tonight. ;p

[bebopxblues]

[RamenBoy]

No no.. yours is definetly bigger.. I have about 65 mangas and 18 Shonen Jumps. Thanks for the positive comment though! :D

[Bezerker]

Gotta start somewhere, im trying to hold back with my buying, cuz it seems i just keep finding more and more stuff i want to buy, yet about half of my collection, i havent even read yet. Right now on my "want list" there's 29 books, 15 more if i decide to buy DBZ 11-25.

[ronin_manji]

No no.. yours is definetly bigger.. I have about 65 mangas and 18 Shonen Jumps. Thanks for the positive comment though! :D

Ohhh....well it looked bigger than that...but I only have like 80 or 90...I haven't really counted in a while but...urs is still a good collection.!

[RamenBoy]

[Prof.Nosebleed]

I have more elsewhere (my newly boughts) but I'm too lazy right now to put them there...

[ronin_manji]

Hummmmm it looks very.......what's the word I'm looking for..........organized.

[bebopxblues]

Great collections, new and updated! I always get so happy when this thread gets new updates, lol.

My dad is taking me on a date to the bookstore tonight and I am really hoping I'll get around to posting an updated picture. I've just been so busy with school and birthday preparations, so hopefully this weekend I will get around to it! In the meantime, keep up with the great pictures! It puts a smile on my face. Haha. :D

[RamenBoy]

[RamenBoy]

[bebopxblues]

I apologize for taking so long to post an updated picture. I've just been so busy! So, here you go! Can't say it's changed much, but ah well.

Third Shelf (http://photobucket.com/albums/b122/bloody_horizon/?action=view&current=collection5.jpg) The stacked manga on the side are manga I am trying really hard to get rid of. Any ideas?

Artbooks, magazines, etc ... (http://photobucket.com/albums/b122/bloody_horizon/?action=view&current=collection7.jpg)

It's so messy! >.<

So yeah, that's me!

[RamenBoy]

Its totally awsome! Give me until next december and I will problebly post another picture than :p. You could stack your books sideways and that would use up any extra spaces you have on your shelves. Its a good idea but it looks better sideways if you have accually LOT LOT LOTS of manga.. which you do. So yea try it out and tell me how you like it.

[bebopxblues]

Glad you like it!

Thanks for the idea, I'll try it. :)
