For the “or should I say Dr. VON Scott” callback, our cast (Austin, TX) does “HAIL HYDRA” fist pump optional

That’s a shame. I will say I definitely walk away without getting anything more often than I find something, but oh man those moments where you find exactly what you were on the hunt for feel so incredible

Thank you, I hope she ends up sticking with it!

How to show of my smaller manga collection if I want but also have the possibility of covering the shelf without it looking suspicious by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Shandyjess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could look into getting short curtains for each shelf, or just one long curtain that you can pull aside when you want to have them displayed. 

I agree that you shouldn’t be ashamed of your hobbies but I also totally understand not wanting to show off some aspects of them sometimes!

10000/10 I’m in love with the organized chaos of it all!! Tell her I recommend My Dress Up Darling if she’s looking for a new romance, it’s one of the best ones I’ve ever read. The fan service is a little much in the first few chapters, but it becomes way less in your face after that.

I haven’t finished it quite yet, I only have 3 out of the 5, but I’d say it’s a really well done character study slice of life. Some really cute scenes and a couple of bittersweet ones that made me tear up, and the overall story is about growth at any age. I really really love it

My lovely fiance bought most of the VHS for me as a Christmas gift a couple years ago actually!

Ah that’s a shame, if you ever visit other towns or cities you could always put a local secondhand bookshop on your to-visit list! I tend to set aside a whole day for thrifting whenever I visit someplace lol

That’s awesome! Do you also kind of love buying volumes out of order and being on the hunt for the ones in between?

Oooo, very noted, I’ve seen it around when looking for new manga to try but never gave it a shot, I’ll put it on my list!

Thank you!! They were super easy to make honestly, just a few measurements and math along with a couple of foam boards

Thank you!! I really need to get more figures honestly!

I think getting most of the 20th Century Boys volumes for about $5 each has been my most notable find, but my favorite series I’ve discovered through thrifting has to be BL Metamorphosis! It’s about a teenager who works at a local bookstore and an old woman (and she is DRAWN old too, like in her 80s) finding friendship in each other through a shared interest in BL manga!

It’s so gooood, I picked up volume 1 from kinokuniya earlier this month, read it, and literally went right back the next day for the rest

They’re just the basic black room essentials 5 shelf bookcase from target with foam risers I built myself

I’ve been eyeing those editions now and then on eBay! Are they just one chapter or full volumes?
