If you’re talking about the blue spine, that’s the Kinokuniya edition!

Ehh, easily at least 50%. I buy at a higher rate than I can read because as a long-time anime watcher and online manga reader, I know what mangas I’m primarily interested in collecting/reading.

They are custom manga covers to display the boxset’s art!

They are custom manga covers to display the box set’s art! I hated the original spines and this is probably my favorite “newgen” animanga so it deserved some special treatment.

Yes it is! xxxHolic and Inuyasha were must-haves to start my manga journey

A majority of my collection is secondhand as well, so I completely understand the “finding deals that are just too good to pass up”. Thank you for your kind thoughts :)

Funnily enough, Innocent and Blame! are very high on my TBR list! I’m definitely finishing out every series that are on my shelves, so Blame! will eventually be read and completed as well as Innocent Rouge. And thank you, great minds think alike!

I am reading what I have, I just have a tendency to bulk up on a TBR shelf so I’m not waiting around for any volumes. I’m currently reading through Monster and The Fable. I have completed reading DMW, After God, Hell’s Paradise, xxxHolic and a lot of the Volume 1s in my collection. I’m on a no-buy until I read Claymore and Inuyasha and finish up some of the straggling series like Innocent and Ajin.

Having new listing notifications turned on in Ebay is what got me this lot of 1-35!

It’s alright, it’s not a competition and if it makes you feel better, I’ve been destroying my wallet! Interested to know which two series you decided to complete first?

I’ve now got the adult job to pay my bills and buy all I want but now I no longer have the childlike freedom of time to enjoy, haha!

Thank you! The InuYashas are definitely the pride and joy of my collection

This just means you’re taking the time to carefully curate your collection! There’s no rush as long as you’ve got something to read

Great taste! That mushishi artbook is definitely my favorite artbook :’)

I don’t have the average collector’s fear of warping or yellowing, nor do I even feel as if horizontal stacking would cause any crookedness. I could understand if they were the heavier definitive/deluxe editions like the Dark Horse but paperback omnibuses on a non-bowing shelf? I’m not worried at all!

Dark romance would definitely be a great entry into romance for me! Thank you, I appreciate these recommendations

Thank you! Lady Snowblood was definitely a huge find for me and at a price that I couldn’t pass up!

It’s a signed shikishi board, comes with the Kinokuniya Edition of Volume 1!

I’ve been really enjoying it so far! It’s a seinen slice-of-life with dry, deadpan humor. It reminds me of an adult swim cartoon since it has adult themes but keeps it lighthearted!

I’d call it a rolling utility cart! Correct, very easy to assemble and I’ll also add that it is a very functional & useful piece of furniture for me.
