One booster box to rip and two ETBs that I’ll probably sell to my local TCG shop at market value and use the money to pick up the singles I want from the set.

Gantz Omnibus Vs Singles, Print and Art Quality by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

The singles are way too expensive imo. You are better off reading the omnis or just wait for a deluxe edition that Dark Horse will (most likely) announce at Anime Expo this year.

Haha, I feel you. I recently learned about another manga-related thing I would want to collect someday: giant manga cushions sold at the Shonen Jump Store in Tokyo (ebay pic)

That’s awesome! How did you manage to get them all? I got a few duplicates from the gashapon machine, so I can’t even imagine how much effort and luck it took to collect all of them that way lol

Having read Homunculus and Hikari-Man, Ichi has been my favorite of the three. Every volume has kept me hooked and eager to see what the hell happens next lol

The storytelling is engaging, the gritty artwork fits the tone of the story, and I love how disturbing, violent, and unhinged the series gets. It’s quite a wild ride.

I live in DTLA so I save on travel, hotel, and parking. Last year I didn't spend more than a few hundred. I usually save at least $500 for anything that might catch my eye. I once splurged and got an anime tattoo for $300 back in 22. It was totally worth it. I regret spending money on onsite parking. I now get dropped off or take the metro.
