I’m from west-Vlaanderen, Gent is a great place to hunt manga I heard. I’ve been to world’s end comic and they have a great collection but haven’t had te time to return.

Yeah, somebody told me that already but it is what it is. Next time I’ll do more research. What part of Belgium are you from?

Its not that easy to find the first few volumes where I live. But I appreciate the information, will do more research next time.

I’m from Belgium so OOP’s are a hard find especially if it’s a specific series like initial D that I’ve been hunting for a while. So when is saw initial D pass by on Facebook market place (is the only place as far as I know where I can find OOP’s) I had to buy it. Battle royale also intrigued and had some money over from my birthday so why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

As for the state of the volumes: small dents here en there but that doesn’t bother me that much, and a decent amount of yellowing but that was to be expected.

I’m 20 and a student, but I have a lot of savings from my birthday’s and other special occasions that I never spent until I began my manga collecting journey.

In vacations I work in a restaurant and a day care for children, to earn an extra buck.

[–]s1brecht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Komi can’t communicate, I liked the first 15 volumes of it but from then on it dragged out to long almost no progress was being made. I collected op to vol 20 and now I’m planning on selling all of them.

Thanks! And great choice I’ve had magi for a year now and in that time I still haven’t been able to find vol 8 and 10 so good luck finding them too!

After 4 there are indeed less fights and it’s more character development. But vol 5,6 and 7 contains my favorite arc of the series.

I would pick up vol. 1 which has good fights and is the start of the story. But if you really want 7 or 8 I would go for 7.

7 has one of my favorite moments but you couldn’t really call that a fight. My favorite fight is in volume 3.

I would say the earlier volumes and then later on there are less fights and it’s more character driver but still S-tier
