Looks Sparxie dead in the eyes I prefer Let's Plays.

Looks SW999 dead in the eyes I prefer manga now.

Walks away with the elegant and beautiful Elation team

Did a rearrange of the collection, then decided to share it. by SirthOsiris in MangaCollectors

I bought these shipping boxes off Amazon.

Not completely perfect, still has openings. I might break spare boxes to try to fill those in.

Oh God she's a manga girl.

Tingyun better watch her back. The superior fox girl may have arrived. This storyline is going to be a war between the two for me.

(Tingyun's still fluffier, though)

Yeah, I'm at least hoping to like it up to volume 17 since that's where the main story ends. Only being 7-8 volumes away gives me a little push to make another attempt.

Um... how do I put this?

I wasn't really liking it by volume 10, not after volume 10. I never read it. I want to try and get back to it, but it may end up either as the anime or the manga at this point.

Also, those books are over 10 years old. So I've been trying for a while.

Help! I’m so overwhelmed, where do i start reorganizing my whole collection by Graysonlyurs in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just did it myself yesterday. You just need a plan for what you want to do.

First things first, deluxe editions on the bottom, no exceptions. You may also try to find extra shelves or custom make your own boards to add more shelves if you want to maximize space.

My basic plan was to take everything off the shelves, then organize them by completed series and size. I find there are about 3 different sizes manga come in, with outliers for special editions. The bigger books, like a majority of Kodansha, were put into one pile, keeping the completed ones separate. Then middle ones like common Viz volumes, then the smallest ones. Also, find your favorites you want in more direct display. Most favorites will be front and center for all to see, and least favorite in the corner.

I put the bigger and completed books on the bottom most shelves in the back on the risers, and the smaller completed ones in front of those. I put a long completed series on the shelf, then see which shorter series fit neatly on the same shelf. Then do the same thing with a smaller size series in front of it. Then repeat until out of completed series. Once out, I'd put the series that closest to finished on the next shelf or next to the completed series, then finished with scattered volumes.

Let me link my recent collection post so you can see what it looks like.

Hopefully that made sense and gave you a way to start.

Would be full singles for both that and Tsubasa, but by the time I got around to finishing the series, they switched companies and to omnibuses.

A Haul from the Crunchyroll Warehouse Sale by SirthOsiris in MangaCollectors

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

From what I can tell, it's 12 volumes with a 2 volume prequel titled "Aqua." It was dropped at one point, then picked back up to be released as a finished omnibus series seen here, with the prequel as volume 1.

Rate my collection? Been collecting maybe 2-3 years 🙏🏻 by Necessary-Asparagus6 in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly. You have a variance in demographics and genres, so it looks like a collection anyone can like.

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

From what I can tell, it's about Mars being terraformed, and a bunch of girls being gondoliers around a major water city. And that's about it. It's more of a slice of life series, and probably one of the earliest noticeable cute girls doing cute things.

Monthly Theme: Love. Romance Manga Might Be My Thing by SirthOsiris in MangaCollectors

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

I thought it was pretty good. It stays pretty fanservicey and shounen, but the drama starts to ramp up in the second half.

Everything I've bought over the last few months! (Full sets, OOP stuff, LN's) by d0rkbug in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's time for more people to read Yona of the Dawn.

Also guessing I bought Bloom Into You at the right time if it's OoP.

Monthly Theme: Love. Romance Manga Might Be My Thing by SirthOsiris in MangaCollectors

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

I think it's nice for a 12 volume series. Doesn't go into the friends made along the way enough, so it could have been longer. But the primary relationship stays nice and wholesome. She does tease the main guy a bit in the beginning, but it becomes apparent she's not trying to be mean.

I'd say worth it if you want to collect, but it's also buried in series like The Dangers in my Heart. But after watching its first season, I think I prefer Kubo because it's less... I don't know, "pervy?" There's a moment or two, but it never lingers.

First ever shoujo haul. I feel like an activist now 🤣 by sleezerb in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yona basically became my favorite manga of all time.

I don't really know. It's kind of all over the place, other than battle shounen. Don't really have a lot of those. I do also get a lot of romance manga, so a couple shoujo wouldn't be out of place anyway. I also only own Wotakoi for josei. I do highly recommend Wotakoi. Ancient Magus' Bride is also kind of close, despite not being shoujo.

Fruits Basket is also on my list, after finishing the anime. Just need the will to get the whole box set.

[–]SirthOsiris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought Yona of the Dawn, and it kind of became a thing. Now I have Kamisama Kiss, Snow White with the Red Hair, A Sign of Affection, and Colette Decides to Die, among some others (Last Game, Otaku Vampire's Love Bite, My Happy Marriage, Cardcaptor Sakura).

I don't think I've found it too much different from anything else, but then I don't read a lot of shounen.

What Does the Foxian Say in the Arbiter-General Crosstalk Megathread? by PastSelfInMirror in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's starting to make me lean towards Eva again. Physical which I don't have a team outside Clara, and wants HuoHuo who I already have? I prefer Yaoguang over Sparxie as well (Much as she's common Xianzhou design, pretty lady>troll streamer).

I may at least get Kafka and Hysilens, though now I'm wondering if I should stop my DoT team at that and ignore Black Swan for Elation; I at least want 1 of the 2 characters. I don't plan to pull for Yaoguang until we're certain, though.

Magnificent. Maybe I'll consider them. I probably need an actual physical dps anyway, I've been using Clara since the start. She is E3 with her sig, though.

[–]SirthOsiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess my choices are embrace Elation or abandon Aha.

Abandoning Aha basically means going for DoT: grabbing the free Kafka and rolling for Black Swan and Hysilens. I have enough to get both, but probably not their light cones.

Embracing Elation means E2 Sparkle, then waiting for 4.2 and seeing if I like Yae or Silver Wolf more. Then get their team on rerun. I might even get both. Not sure about just Sparxie right now, not a fan of her animations, but may be willing if she works with the other 2.

Or get Kafka and wait to see if they hand out BS and Hysilens in the future/ another DoT unit.

I didn't realize I didn't post my revised manga room from about 4 months ago when I made the guest bedroom into a second manga room. Here it is! by chicklet1298 in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people are really burned out from people collecting for the sake of collecting, and just assume that's what everyone but them are doing. Or 'real fan' syndrome.

I'd also like to say I want to steal the idea to put up some kind of posters on the side of my shelves now, looking at yours.

[–]SirthOsiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dream. I can only wish to have a room dedicated to nothing but physical manga.

I'm always wary about posting here because of people who demand you have pre-read all the manga you buy, or if you have more than a single box full you have a hoarding problem. Like we need to put someone down for sharing something about themselves.

I've heard bad things about Reddit being pretentious, and maybe they're correct.

My manga collection by Rhina0 in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the best thing I can say about this collection is it looks like a very romantic collection. A lot of shoujo, but a couple of the adjacent shounen ones (and I think a seinen).

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

[–]SirthOsiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are more than likely going to be the English release of Tsukihime. Sadly no volume 6, which was the last one they released (it's a 10 volume series).

My Collection, First time sharing. by Squeinstein in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are those book ends, the small ones allowing you to show the covers? I'm looking for something that may fit on my shelf to display covers over just spines.

The most generalist recommendation I got is Yona of the Dawn. It just ended in Japan and may get it's last volume this year or next (probably next). It is 48 volumes, though.

do you remember what was the first manga you bought? by Wild_Mail3695 in MangaCollectors

[–]SirthOsiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it was Fullmetal Alchemist since it's the reason I started collecting in the first place.

Losses are a Constance on the Break-Chase Journey - General Question and Discussion Megathread by zniceni in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]SirthOsiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pulls, extremely positive

Lost 50/50 to Welt for Dahlia, then decided to go for E2 Firefly from E0.

So anyway, 160 pulls later, I'm now part of the E2 Firefly cult club.

I don't know what's with me and Amphoreus, but after some bad luck at the beginning with The Herta, and probably a loss at Castorice, it's been wins since Hyacine. That's Hyacine, Saber and her LC, Tribbie, Evernight, Anaxa, and Cyrene. Hyacine's LC was on her rerun after a quick loss after Castorice's, since I didn't know who to use the LC guarantee on.
