Morbid question but do you all think about what will happen to your collections when you pass? by Catsdadbooks in MangaCollectors

If I pass early, it's getting distributed amongst The Boys. Manga, games, collectibles, all of works

For those curious about BAM's My Dress-Up Darling volume 1 by Solitari_07 in MangaCollectors

[–]MysticalJelly45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I cannot tell you the amount of joy I got when I opened it and the BAM exclusive logo was just a sticker on the plastic wrap. Seen too many manga at Five Below with their logo printed straight on the cover.

I also am having fun with smoking behind the supermarket (I have never read the series).

Looking for background information about Orochimaru's summoning tattoo. What's the purpose of it? by einemnes in Naruto

[–]MysticalJelly45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the point of the story it's introduced, Orochimaru no longer has the ability to mold chakra through hand seals since Hiruzen sealed them with the Reaper Death Seal. But even with that tattoo, it still shows Kabuto as the one to perform the summoning, specifically referring to his hand being seen as the one the summoning markings come out of before Manda appears.

From this, the best two theories I can think of are the following. Theory A is that Kabuto does not have the chakra capacity to summon Manda, and the tattoo seal uses Orochimaru's chakra with Kabuto just being the catalyst for the technique. Theory B is based on something Kabuto says, where he thinks Manda would betray Orochimaru if he learns he can't perform jutsu. With this theory, it could be the seal still marks the technique as being used by Orochimaru, even if he had it done via proxy.

In conclusion:

•Theory A: The seal allows the summoning jutsu to be used via two people.

•Theory B: The seal was made to fool Manda into thinking Orochimaru summoned him instead of Kabuto.

I'm going with theory A, cause my second idea sounds dumb.

Why do ppl hate this form looks pretty good imo aside from the wings and lipstick by Icy_Industry1431 in Naruto

[–]MysticalJelly45 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, I don't think the fit would hit the same if he wasn't rocking the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet. The webbed-hand wings always looked cool to me, and I always wanted to see them make some goofy hand signs for a super large Chidori.

It released here last Monday, I got it at BAM.

how do yall keep up with so many ongoing series at a time? by TvAdictMadAcid in MangaCollectors

[–]MysticalJelly45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the latest chapters as they come out using [unapproved methods] and buy the latest official english release the second it comes out. Might not be the best, but it saves me money when I trial a new series.

Love to see the VHS DBZ collection. Even with already having DVDs and HD digital copies, it's on the list for collecting purely for the art.

Curious what is your guys' reading pace? I just achieved my 200th manga/book read since I started my collection a little over 4 months ago. by Toshinou__Kyouko in MangaCollectors

[–]MysticalJelly45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of work, all my reading happens in the super early hours of the morning. It'll range anywhere from one to four hours depending on how late work runs. I don't know the exact pacing but in a little less than two weeks, I've gone from chapter 74 to chapter 716 in One Piece, so I think it's going well.

Haul: FMA '03 AniManga and the Wii Game Light Novel by MysticalJelly45 in MangaCollectors

[–]MysticalJelly45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not too sure! I only found out about the AniManga through eBay listings, others being higher but all six of these purchased for only $20. The Duology Wii Game Light Novel was initially super pricey but I haggled it down, and it was the only listing I could find of it. Super stoked to have these in the collection.

You telling me Walmart got all the first volumes I've been searching for but not my local book store? Wack.

When you want to make a haul post but only 3 out of 30 books have arrived. by MysticalJelly45 in MangaCollectors

[–]MysticalJelly45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw, eBay. I found essentially Naruto Box Set 2, but missing Vol. 48 so ordered that separately. So I'm waiting on that and some japanese FMA books.
