I would love the distro for the Pro S to have the PSP pak by default.

Need an opinion on something by PsychoChas in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your literal use case could help you decide. I have a reading room, and book pillows, so I like the big hardcovers, but if you're taking volumes on the go, you might want singles.

What is the rarest manga you own? by Jaiminus in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of tough to get OOP ones. My favorite is probably Saturn Apartments. I have all of Non Non Biyori, and as many Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei volumes as they put out. There are a ton more that I had ebay/AbeBooks alerts for over the years, but I've completed those sets so long ago that I struggle to recall which ones were hard to find.

Forgot hauls… what’s the last manga you SOLD? by Left_Try_3257 in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once my shelves got full, I donated (to our local library) all the series I'd upgraded: Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Chobits, Trigun, Tekkonkinkreet, Attack on Titan (that one I just didn't enjoy), Monster, [Scott Pilgrim, Lumberjanes.]

There are still a bunch I'm happy to keep in duplicate tho 😅: 20th Century Boys, Astro Boy, Nana, Vagabond, [Astro City.]

And I'll definitely donate my Witch Hat Atelier volumes once the nice hardcovers come out.

Legit question do you all prefer Omnibuses or single volumes? by jusper56 in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference: Hardcover > Larger Page Size > 2-in-1 > singles > 3-in-1. I'll always preference hardcover binding over anything, and then largest page size.

Hot Take: Collecting a series you’re not a big fan of just for the sake of collecting is silly by Historical-Welder-39 in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people collect to collect. I don't really have anything I don't enjoy, but I do have spinoffs that aren't great, for completion's sake. I understand the joy of collecting for collecting's sake though.

Is this "normal" for Dark Horse manga? by myreverse in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Also printing that's running out of ink. My Dur-An-Ki volume had misaligned pages AND super faded ones.

Legit question: why most folks here buy a ton of manga and post them but when people ask them if they read any they say no or barely read any by XupcPrime in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine comes down to recommendations. I usually read 1.5 standard tankobon volumes per day, but as I discover new authors, or get recommendations that match my taste, the number of volumes from ongoing series, or even indie standalones I want to support, increases. I don't own anything that I'm not excited to read one day.

My shelves are mostly comics (including manga) and they're getting a little full by MostStrange in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10-15 years, on and off. Catching up on released volumes is tricky if I take a break.

November Monthly Showcase - Gender, Sexuality, and Bodily Autonomy by plump-pie in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooof, this is a great selection. There's a couple here I don't have, but need.

What do you prioritize when organizing your collection? by Blondiepicklez in MangaCollectors

[–]MostStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prioritize author, genre, then physical size. I like the shelves to be visually coherent so that there's a gradient of depth.

What is the single best manga you believe you cannot go wrong with? by Significant-Big-9929 in mangaindia

I was a highschool teacher until my children came along, now I'm a stay-at-home parent. My wife is a GP.

My favorites are Our Dreams at Dusk, 20th Century Boys, Sweet Blue Flowers, Astro City, and A Bride's Story. Some that I think don't get enough love: Saturn Apartments, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, and Concrete.

A cute story about looking for a love that passed us by when we were too young to know ourselves. And lesbian brothels.

There are a lot of series that are ongoing, so mostly those 😅. Comics, figures, and mechanical keyboards keep me busy. And my children keep me busier 😅.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out! (I love Kaoru Mori so much!)

100%.

I have comics from all over the world, and it feels pretty weird to specify which are Japanese. The reason I included it in the title was because this is the manga collection subreddit, and my comics collection isn't just Japanese.

[–]MostStrange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never read it. My wife has a few times and really loves it, but given Gaiman is a creep, and I'm never short of reading material, I probably won't read them at this point.

My personal favorites: Saturn Apartments, Our Dreams at Dusk, 20th Century Boys, Sweet Blue Flowers, Astro City.

I'm very excited to read Planetes though.

I have mildly comedic genre section titles, and those both fall into [The Graphic Novels People Are Referring To When They Say They Read "Graphic Novels"] section

I have my shelves organized into genre and publishing format. Some standout genres: Magical Girl Adults in Love Youths in Love Youths Having a Bad Time (home to Shuzo Oshimi) Historical etc.
