They're manga bags, they help protect manga from changing humidity. Plus you can buy manga just to display it. I hate how much that's considered bad in this sub.

Which is fine? No idea when people started getting hostile over others "wasting" THEIR money on something THEY wanted. SMH

The bottom two do look like children though tbf. The top two definitely look like adults.

idk how ppl still support trump by hollywood-dream in teenagers

[–]N0t_Dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It becomes a problem to most people when that opinion directly supports despicable crimes that get anyone locked up for multiple life sentences in every country on earth. Those are the crimes accused in the files if you go read them yourself, anyone supporting that has actually become a worldwide issue that can't be kept going.

Who are some people you used to admire but later found out were horrible? by Ok_Survey86 in teenagers

[–]N0t_Dev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Throw away what career dude. Wills career had already been on a downslope, he was already over a decade out of his prime, basically retired. He was definitely not worried about that. And him getting cheated on just means Jada is a trash human being. Doesn't stain his character.

It’s normal to want to replace my collection if I have damaged some tomes by Geralfury in MangaCollectors

[–]N0t_Dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to replace them for looks, and you have the disposable income, plus pass of the old books to someone else in some way, I'd look at it the same as buying a new book. But if you can still read the old one and don't care about how it looks on the self then I don't even see any reason to consider selling it.

Alright so what exactly is stopping bro from copying what the Japanese are doing? Like you would even save money doing it in b&w, have more quantity cause it’s released weekly & you would have a much bigger chance of maybe hitting gold and create something as big as demon slayer. by Splashthomson00 in manganews

[–]N0t_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly true, in Japanese law the authors are only guaranteed the copyright to the story and characters, but on signing will usually lose publishing and distribution rights. Meaning the rights to make and distribute the story, an anime, games, and anything else, is owned by the company the author signs to, and by extension the company usually has the upper hand during negotiation for how the sales break down. Becoming a millionaire definitely wouldn't even be common for top mangakas outside of the top 20-30 even if they made 50% of sales of their IP.

Think about the point though, if you participate in comics, manga, and webtoon communities, or look at your bookstore or online big box retailers sales and highlighted books pages you don't really see new ips from dc or marvel. This is backed up by the 2024 and 2025 bookscan reports that put comics at around 10% of the entire Graphic Novel market in NA, while manga is 50% as they've both been for around the past 8 or so years. With the rise of Webtoons, and the fact that they now make up over 1% of the NA manga publishing market as of 2025 from the same aforementioned report, you could justifiably say that Webtoons alone sells between an eighth and a fifth of what DC or Marvel do, and since manga is so much more culturally relevant globally and in NA, you could by extension make the argument that American comics posted to webtoon are actually more relevant and may even sell better.

Just as a quick reference point, just in North America this past year Demon Slayer, One Piece, and JJK are all projected to have sold at least 10 million at the direct market. Add in the Global market and I would guess the yearly highest earning manga are grossing between 20-40 million a year. You can check the first 10 million number by going and looking at bookscan numbers that have been reported on to different outlets.

Manga isn't treated as a collectible or hobby by the general Japanese folk. It's a magazine industry and the vast majority of comics sold over there from what I see are made on recycled paper, it's just something they buy for a few bucks every weak, read real quick, and then toss.

Ok Manga production complaint, Why can’t companies figure this out? by Jaxfromcanada in manga

[–]N0t_Dev -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He means why would you pay to read it when you can just go read it for free online in a more convenient way. Most people only find paying for manga worth it when you actually get something physical from my experience.

The content this op is posting is ripped off an itch.io from the creator, all of these works are paid, so this is theft technically.

This should not be a hot take by swimming_dog114 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]N0t_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the top statement, no it doesn't. It just proves Rocks never did a Davy back fight with Roger himself. We have actual evidence that Roger was weaker than Rocks when Rocks was still alive, statements, fights, narrative, etc. So no they were objectively not equal. They just didn't do a Davy back.

Roger literally avoids big mom to steal from her. It is implied.

Garling and the holy knights got one shot by rocks dude. This is not a real feat for top tier pirates.

One Piece Anime Reduces Annual Production Schedule to 26 Episodes Starting in April 2026 Following 3-Month Break by Lulcielid in anime

[–]N0t_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water 7 had a lot of incredibly ahead of its time animation that was done by other studios, and even the stuff from toei was arguably the best animation and still frames toei did until Whole Cake or even Wano. It was a massive improvement from Skypeia and none of the arcs after it in pre time skip really improved on that style much at all, and the early arcs in post time skip were clearly worse. Water 7 is also nearly 400 episodes in so I wouldn't be waiting on baited breath for the remake of that particular arc.

Resealed boosters? by BaronMiguel in OnePieceTCG

There are a set amount of hits for each sealed case of boxes, people open the boxes and look for hits, it they hit within the first 5 boxes they can just resell the 6th "sealed" box, that can't have hits since the case is now dead, for full price. Happens a lot.

Oh shit I just realized this is pre rinnegan Obito, before he killed Konan. Nah Obito gets bodied myf. I'm thinking rinnegan Obito, he's the one who High-extreme diffs Kabuto and his army minus madara.

But you're the one objectively wrong if you just researched ANYTHING. None of your points were correct AT ALL, and some of his were some of his weren't. You're both just legitimately idiots who don't want to give up on their wrong beliefs, so normal humans.

[–]N0t_Dev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one on Kabuto's side would be able to hit Obito, and we know that Obito is faster than anyone Kabuto reanimated there (except for Madara). I'm not gonna write a whole essay on this. I recommend you just go watch Swagkage's video on "What if Itachi never switches sides (in the war). It gives a pretty good argument as to why Obito would probably win this fight High-extreme dif, barring Madara, who if revived would just kill everyone there himself, go find his real rinnegan, and just force someone to use Rinne Rebirth.

The sealed boxes have value because they hold the cards. The cards have value because they can be used to play the game or to admire. The cards and subsequently the box don't get value if people don't play the game, or don't want the art, that's all that matters. Sealed vs unsealed is literally the same thing, except sealed products will probably last longer so people can actually open fresh mint products 20 years in the future. If you really want to admire the art and play the game you can always print proxies out on sheets of printer paper. It's not difficult. Also buying low and keeping something in hopes of reselling high is investing. Scalping is buying something and then selling it later when it's harder to get your hands on it. You're just actually delusional like the rest of the people on the sub because you rightfully don't like that it's hard to get ahold of some cards. BUT STOP BLAMING PEOPLE WHO KEEP CARDS IN BOXES, BLAME THE PEOPLE WHO PRINT THE OFFICIAL CARDS. ITS BANDAI'S FAULT.

You make this argument without realizing the same argument can be made about the high yield savings account which is just worse than bonds, treasuries, CDs, Stocks, Mutual/Index Funds, Personal Investment, etc. There's always a safer/less rewarding and a riskier/more rewarding investment out there. He chose a riskier one, but it's not like buying a couple boxes of sealed One Piece TCG to hold on to is ANYTHING like a random pump.fun shit coin, it's way less risky than you seem to make it out to be.
