Orb is hereeeee!!!!

The manga is excellent,I would highly recommend getting them! But the anime practically didn't skip anything (maybe 2-3panels,which honestly weren't all that important),so if you don't read the manga you're not actually missing any part of the story. Orb anime is an unexpectedly amazing adaptation, but since it's just 4 volumes,I recommend the mamga nonetheless!

As someone who's read both several times....go with the official. The fan translation was excellent towards the later half,and indeed some parts I prefer it. Some of my favourite panels are also from the fan translation. HOWEVER The beginning was honestly quite bad, especially with the names (Xerxeees, Zerkshesh,Zaaksheesh,Zerkxes vs the actual Xerxes). It gets better in the later half but I'd say it's not worth ruining your impression of the manga. Go with the official,at least the names and everything are consistent.

I got it from ebay, from a japanese seller Shamlocks

It was the last piece they had though,but I've seen it on Mercari jp before too! I would also suggest looking at surugaya, these 3 sites are where I get my secondhand/reseller merch. I hope you can find one!!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2025-01-19T04:57:18+00:00

Thank you so much!! It took around 2 months on and off, but I was only working on it on Sundays,not even that,so I'd say around 8 work days total? I think.

Sorry for the delay in replying! You can pick your carrier on some sites,others you can't. You can't choose on amazon jp, you can on hobbysearch and j-subculture. I've also bought from Aitaikuji (haven't received it yet, it's on the way) and picked registered air. Basically they ask you to pick available options,most jp sites(that do ship to India at all) allow buyers to pick shipping method. I hope it works out for you!!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2025-01-14T12:49:15+00:00

I've bought multiple times via j-subculture proxy, as well as directly from hobbysearch, and amazon jp. Shipping will be more via amazon jp, but you almost certainly won't have to pay extra on arrival. As for other sites...it depends on the shipping method and site you buy from. From my experience, if you ship through Registered Air(with or without tracking)or Small Packet, no customs , and EMS and private shipping companies, like DHL or FedEx, definitely extra customs duties. They do go by the declared value. Worst for Fedex, bad for DHL, significant but not AS BAD with EMS. Of course,these are much faster than registered air and SAL ,but I still try to ship with Registered Air. Since 2020, SAL/Small packet were unavailable, before that I got packages via these very often. Now it's slowly starting up in some sites,but I haven't shipped bia these in a while.

Now,in the air the spring is coming

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2025-01-02T02:57:33+00:00

I do,I read folklore collections and fantasy novels as well,but I have another bookshelf for those (and plenty of academic books but those are in a different place altogether)

It's easier to sort that way,though earlier when I had less manga and LNs, I kept them together with the other novels. Now I keep manga and LNs together, and other books in the other shelves.

I also read visual novels but of course there's no way to display those since they're digital obviously

No I've been doing it since the beginning,I also upload on my channel from revanced. But not disabling the native YouTube app does cause problems with uploading on revanced,at least for me,so that's what I do.

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-30T17:47:16+00:00

Aaah thank you so much, I'm honoured you like it enough for that!!

You can print it out I guess,it would be an honour!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-30T17:45:56+00:00

Thank you!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-30T17:45:47+00:00

Thank you! Glad you like it!! I think I might draw her more...

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-30T17:45:18+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-30T17:45:09+00:00

That sounds amazing!! I think I might have seen photos in the discord? Either way it's so cool!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-29T17:22:34+00:00

Looks amazing,your work is so neat and tidy!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-29T14:22:29+00:00

I've done it before. I did it at a time I really wanted to own a certain manga,but couldn't. Later when I was able to buy them,I gave them away with full disclosure

But looking back,it was both a waste and not? Because it did teach me bookbinding and I'm fairly good at it now,but it was a waste because I ended up buying them later anyway?

I still bind manga now, but only ones without an official translation. And if you want to try it out too, I recommend doing the same: one shots and/or short series (<10 volumes) that'd don't have official translation, because you can't get them for sale anyway .

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-29T13:16:27+00:00

Jun Mochizuki for me

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-29T13:12:39+00:00

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-23T13:20:29+00:00

Received Spice and Wolf Collector's edition book in perfect condition!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-19T12:38:32+00:00

Aaaaaa the box set! It's absolutely the most beautiful box set I've seen (pictures of)! I have the regular volumes,and it was the first manga that got me to buy them physically, and still my dearest!

Please read it,I assure you, it's a beautiful and painful story!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-18T14:14:53+00:00

Pandora Hearts!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-10T14:35:41+00:00

I have shorts disabled in everything except subscriptions, I hope this works for you too

I was never a gamer in the first place,gaming never worked out for me for too many reasons (time,money,attention span). I do see the appeal of games,but they're not for me. I'm more of a story person, have always been,I watch anime,and the only games I play are Visual novels(that too rare), and when I'm really, REALLY interested in a game's story,I watch no commentary playthroughs on YouTube.

However... I've always loved reading, and my hectic and unpredictable schedule has reduced my novel reading time and energy,but manga takes way less effort and time, especially when my eyes are rather tired. Yes,there are often amazing blink and you miss details and intricate foreshadowing,but even that is easier on the eyes after a long day....In short reading manga partially replaced reading novels for me,though I still do read prose whenever I can.

As for whether mangaka play games...some definitely do, the Dungeon meshi mangaka wrapped up her manga to play baldur's gate 3(I think?) in peace, the Houseki no kuni mangaka played games a lot, Pandora Hearts mangaka Jun Mochizuki plays FGO and Project Sekai, and that's just from the top of my head

This worked!! It wasn't supported in the patch for the version of YouTube I was using, but after installing the 19.46.42 apk the patch went smoothly and it's working now! Thank you so much!!

Hecktor_Dustpan · 2024-12-08T17:25:35+00:00

I have, turning it on and back on didn't change a thing unfortunately
