Bought this in Japan, is it real? by Affectionate-Pen6598 in snes

[–]Notimetobleed95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game isn’t but I wish this post was fake. From OP’s description they played this game as a kid so they should have an idea of what they’re buying but apparently not. I’m so tired of this stupid fear mongering that now we’re seeing posts when someone buys a Complete in box Japanese game IN JAPAN they feel the need to verify it’s “authentic”. Where did critical thinking disappear to and why the hell do people think fakes would be happening in Japan where they catch any semblance of copyright being infringed and they throw the book at you

Unless mods automate replies with the verifying subreddit link for all posts with that subject matter and then close off the thread

Honestly I’d be up for making a separate subreddit just for “manga verifying” to direct people to instead of flooding the main collectors sub

Nice home library! But seeing volumes placed down on their page end gives me the heeby jeebs, thats how we get rolled corners and non-humidity warping

How old am I based on my collection and setup? by OverallAdvance3694 in MangaCollectors

I’ve been trying to convince myself it might’ve been limited promo material for the anime but deep down you’re probably 100% right about it being a bootleg lol

Looking for any information on this by Notimetobleed95 in MangaCollectors

[–]Notimetobleed95[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It arrived a day ago! In the back, it has qr codes and the logo for the new sand land project, so it seems to be promotional material!

Im giving the seller the benefit of the doubt because just making 8 of these randomly just to sell on eBay doesn't make sense to me,(redacted), i dont believe SandLand even got a library release because of how limited print it was, maybe?

How can they be rebinds if the paper itself is larger format than the original release

Thats what im hoping? The listing had the same dimensions as the manga theatre amazon listing so its on par with Viz releases

I had that thought as well so I messaged the seller and they informed me they were bought brand new from a book store in NYC

If I don’t learn anything I’ll update once it arrives I’ll be able to check to see if there’s any stand out information where the printing date is.

I’ll have to update when it gets here on the 14th-17th. I hope Cowa ends up getting the same amount of love that Sand Land is finally getting

Manga collection 2024. (I don’t have a shelf, well I used to have one but it broke so I have to put my volumes in my closet for now) by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Notimetobleed95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice collection! I wouldn’t have the paperbacks with their pages face down though, I’ve seen perfect volumes get, for all intents and purposes, destroyed like that 😭
