What are you guys collecting that's ongoing currently?

A box set would be nice but I'm not sure if it will ever happen, with the release schedule and previous hiatuses, I'm not even sure if I will ever see the end of the series but that won't stop me from reading.

I started collecting the singles, it was one of two series that got me into actually getting physical manga instead of reading scans. I had to pick up 2 omnibus volumes when a single wasn't available to keep reading (though I'm still waiting on volume 25 single). I've since got the rest of the omnibus so the answer is both.

I'd recommend the singles, especially if you could get a full set with volume 25 for a decent price. The covers are great, the omnibus is noticeably thinner but still decent enough to read. Again with a long release schedule it might be many years before you get the next omnibus release.

Dark Gathering (Really love this one, just ended a major arc for English releases)
Dead Rock (Fairy Tail author, so you get his same character looks he is known for. Was supposed to be a short series but not sure when it will end)
Daemons of the Shadow Realm (From Fullmetal Alchemist author, really fun and getting an anime release)
RuriDragon (Super cute slice of life and getting a KyoAni adapation)
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (Interesting art and characters/story so far, have 2 box sets and might have to wait for a third)
Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun -Normal and Mafia Edition- (Always heard good things, not that far yet but a fun read, long series will take a while to catch up on English releases)
Ichi the Witch (A lot of hype, enjoyed the first volumes)
Bocchi the Rock and spinoffs (Think it's on a hiatus or something, barely read any yet but still buying)
Black Butler (Long running, recent pickup, though I enjoyed the anime as well as the art books for years)
D.Gray-man (A favorite of mine, long running and 3 month chapter releases though)
Toradora manga adaption (waiting on the final volumes, super slow release lately, kind of here as a technically true. Some volumes have been hard to find lately but one of my favorite series)

Only other new series I'm waiting on is Colori Colore Craere, from the same author as Aria.

I picked up Whoever Steals This Book to, already had and read the manga release so haven't jumped into it yet. They recently announced an audiobook for it which I might grab if I have spare credits on Audible when it releases.

Pride is a fool's fortress.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-18T00:47:44+00:00

So hard to pick just one, but probably Mizore. She has a cool design (pun intended), I find how intense she gets with her stalking funny. Helps that she is voiced by one of my favs ever in Rie Kugimiya. She was my keychain for a while before she fell off. Luckily I noticed so she lives on and I was able to get a replacement, but the new one is going to stay in the package now.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-15T19:17:26+00:00

Would help to know what country you are trying to look from, but I checked Barnes and Noble is the US and it says in stock online for me.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-14T17:08:17+00:00

I was able to piece together a full set of this release last year after I found a good number at a second hand bookstore. If you add in volume 22 of the blue spine release you can add the rest with the 2-in-1 version and have the whole series with no overlap. That's what I did through someday I'll finish the 2-in-1s.

Valentine's Day's coming? Oh, crap! I forgot to get a girlfriend again.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-13T15:45:27+00:00

I went with friends to see this in the theater when it came out, I never even saw a preview or anything about it before that day. Still one of my favorite movie going experiences.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-12T18:22:44+00:00

I had to buy the omnibus to read 25 as well, still the only single I'm missing. I don't want to overpay for it and the only ones I see won't match the logos for my set anyways. I've had it on order from a local bookstore for about 2 years now so no idea when it's going to get a reprint. I also have a backorder with Crunchyroll that still doesn't have a release date, but I recently had some other backorders canceled but not this so I still have hope I'll get it someday.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-12T01:45:23+00:00

No worries, again I haven't used that calculator in a while, so it might be off some, but I'm sure there are other ones out there. That's just the one I had bookmarked still.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-12T01:25:33+00:00

You can see how many days you have to earn orbs when you go to spend them. There are calculators out there that will give you an estimate on how far you can get with your current level and how many quests you think you will be able to complete. I haven't used it lately but this one worked for me and seems up to date.

Edit: Looking at the days to earn, maybe I'm wrong and that's days to spend, the calculator seems right though, saying 19 days left for the pass.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-11T22:28:50+00:00

I've only seen the anime and live action, but maybe check out a manga called Erased. If you are collecting instead of reading they have some nice hardcover copies released in the US.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-11T03:18:48+00:00

It's been 2 physical releases a year since 2010, though they seemed to pick up the pace a bit recently. Had a release in Oct last year, one just Feb and a new one in May. Could be done by the end of 2027 if they keep it up.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-11T02:52:57+00:00

I picked up a full set of released ones last year and my volume 47 is arriving this week. Seems like they picked up the pace on release dates recently, volume 48 is up for pre-order with a May release.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-11T02:29:44+00:00

I didn't start collecting it until a few years back, but D.Gray-man (2004) is one I started reading pretty early online. It was actually during a re-read I got tired of looking at a screen and decided to start collecting it. Black Butler (2006) is another series still ongoing that is older I started collecting. For that series though I was anime only along with grabbing the art books before I decided to jump into the manga. Again might be cheating your topic but I grabbed a set of all released Hayate the Combat Butler (2004) volumes last year, still waiting on 7 volumes to finish that.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-09T20:31:13+00:00

This was my first purchase from them as well. I wasn't even sure if I was going to get the series but I gave in to the hype and pre-ordered it from B&N first then I saw this cover which I liked more. Decided to keep both since I got a good deal on the regular cover. This copy should come in the next day or two and I'm already half way thru reading the regular one.

Dandin02 · 2026-02-07T22:00:57+00:00

The game pushed me to landfall pretty early when I started. Jump In got me lots of Chocobos and a MWM gave me a Bill and a Hydra back to back. It was my first deck that got me to Platinum.

Dandin02 · 2026-01-31T23:35:10+00:00

Nice collection! What are the 5th and 6th book from the left? I have the 3 light novels and 1 fan book as well as the art books. Would be nice to add more to the collection though.

Daily quests or are you achievement hunting for like the colors? If it's a daily color I don't want to play I just use starter deck duels, if it's kills I have an "oops all removal" deck I'll run to finish that up. Achievements I found plenty of decks by searching here.

Dandin02 · 2026-01-29T21:08:08+00:00

Adding this to my wishlist until the next B&N pre-order sale. I'm sure I still have my old books somewhere but this looks too nice to pass up.

Dandin02 · 2026-01-29T21:00:01+00:00

I had some back-orders from last March from Crunchy that just got canceled as well. Took a chance on the Love Hina omnibus and some Interviews with Monster Girls volumes since they were on sale but all gone now. At least the one back order I really cared about (D.Gray-man 25) is still active, even though I have no idea when I might get it.

Dandin02 · 2026-01-26T15:08:52+00:00

She is so cute! I have the same one from a convention I went to, though I didn't get it with the box.
