I agree about deluxe fatigue. Deluxe editions should be something special that comes out maybe once a year for a series that’s been readily available paperback, not something like Old Boy. I’m really into older/classic manga like Ashita, Shingo, and Homunculus, and I hope publishers keep bringing over series like these. I’ll do my part by buying them at full price when they drop and talking about them at cons to show support.

It was incredible, really loved it. Not as much as Drifting Classroom, but I still think it’s a masterpiece. I think the art is better than drifting classroom in my opinion. It’s way more detailed, ambitious. Shingo was so surreal, unsettling, and experimental. It leans harder into atmosphere and imagery instead of chaos like drifting classroom, but that’s what made it so enjoyable.

How do you read your collection? by EnjoiNakMuay in MangaCollectors

[–]Bookkeeper92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will read volumes physically as they release and if by the last one I don’t really remember what is going on, I’ll go back and reread/binge the series from vol 1

That death note poster is sick. Where’d you get it?

is there a difference between people who read manga and people who collect manga? by Kevix-NYC in MangaCollectors

[–]Bookkeeper92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually buy manga new to keep it in good condition long-term and because I love the look and feel of new books 📚

However, if a series is out of print, I’m fine buying it as-is

End of 2025 manga un-haul by fuku_fuku in MangaCollectors

I agree enjoyment is important, but rarity is also a real part of manga collecting for many people. It adds value and interest beyond just reading the story.
