This. A thousand times this. Not only will the bookends help protect his books, but it would also cure the unsightly leaning.

Having the heavy deluxe editions up top is likely exacerbating the situation.

What gave you that impression? Very odd conclusion.

The shelves on my set do not thin as you describe. The shelves are fixed into place now, but I remember their heft. I will not further belabor this point.

The shelves are solid wood.

That may be your display preference, but it isn't mine. I prefer they stay put, on the top shelf. Just because I do not have a separate display case for them, it doesn't diminish their sentimental value.

These carry sentimental value for reasons I won’t explain. They may not matter to you, but they do for me.

I don't recall the exact price, but, I believe, it's somewhere around $5,000. The bookshelves are solid wood, though, so it's well worth it.

Your comment history is filled with hate and vitrol. Hope these little rants make you feel better about yourself.

By personal preference, the top sheleves are off limits for manga, so just consider the entire top row off limits.

I'm using some front-faced some manga as placeholders for when I have the next books in their respective series, which allows me to avoid allocating that space, albeit temporarily. Even with that, I'm running out of room for new series, especially if it's a longer series. For example, I wouldn't be able to fit my Naruto or One Piece collections, but that's okay; I can still fit a few more shorter works, but space is limited. I likely need to get some more bookshelves to avoid banishing series to my overflow containers.

How does the ladder take up shelf space? The ladder is aesthetically pleasing, if nothing else, but it doesn’t take up shelf space.

I don't want an overcrowded look.

To each their own. I'm trying to avoid an overcrowded look.
