| I buy one at a time, because I just bike to the store whenever I want. Not sure if I go crazy, because I am currently just waiting for more volumes to come out. Not crazy to spend $10-$12 for 1-2 hours of reading, but I love to look at my collection. |
 |
| I would if I could. My money is just piling up and I have nothing to do with it. Mostly I end up wasting it on drinks and such. Because I live in norway and here they dont sell manga. Well, there is a store which sells a lot of manga in english, but there they DOUBLE the price! So I never buy there. I visit germany every year, and then I spend a lot of money on it. But then also I cant trasport so much. And Im still too young to get a credit card so I could buy online. |
| It's easy to get manga here. When I was younger, I bought whatsoever in the store that has my interest, the long-running shounen series for example. Ever since online reading was made prominent in mid 2000s, I stopped purchasing. Perhaps when I'm less restrained financially as I grew older, I will buy some of my favourites as collection. |
| Just ordered 38 manga from japanese amazon. Does that count as going crazy? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| Yea, actually I do.. As soon as I collect a decent some of money, it all disappears for a couple of volumes :D |
| I can't afford it :/ But sometimes when I go to a convention i'll save up and maybe buy some for my friends :) And when I do I usually buy first volumes of series I think they'd like :3 My sister owns alot, and she'll usually buy one when she see's it, or if theres a sale on madman. And if its an on going series she'll buy it when its released :) Manga is pretty expensive and hard to find here un fortuanatly :/ |
| My biggest splurge was when I bought volumes 2-17 of Rave Master off of Kijiji (similar to Craigslist). Spent... 60$ on it, I do believe. Other than that, I think my biggest splurge was when I bought volumes 18, 19, 21-24 of Rave Master (couldn't find 20 >.<). Typically, when I buy in bulk, it's when there's a big sale on at GameZilla (local comic/anime/manga/game store) |

MangaGuild said: I love manga and for some reason every time I read a manga I feel that I need to buy it and I've read about 60 no joke and love the real manga in my hand its like a sign of being a true fan! I agree with you, to an extent. Yes, it's an amazing feeling, holding the manga, but at the same time, it doesn't make you a "true" fan. It just makes you a fan with funds to pay for it. Also, how long have you been collecting? Just curious, since I've purchased about that much this past school year alone. |
| Time waits for no one... DrunkenBlowfish said: Ho-oh, I'd imagine its like a Skittles flavored turkey. |
| Not at all. I don't think I've bought one manga, I've always read them online. I blame the industry -- if they published simultaneous English versions I would be first in line to pay for that, but I'm never going to buy manga 2 years after it was originally published. I don't know what the legal situation is like, but it seems like it would be easy to get a translation published directly to Kindle. Think about that -- 99 cents per issue, they'd make a killing. > < |
| It depends if I have enough money saved. It kinda depends on the price as well. If they're cheap, I do buy a lot at a time. |
blackrings said: I do :) I actually wait for the release date and buy it online just to secure a copy. I collect manga because I want to own a manga library. Does that sound weird? I also want a manga library! Which is why I buy manga whenever I can get a good deal! I also sometimes buy a first issue for full price to gift to people. But I'd say the most manga I've bought at once would be about 20. |
 I put the fun back in funeral |
| If I have the funds, I buy them in bulk. But, I enjoy saving money for more important things such as food and education. I wish I could go crazy buying them though |
 |
| I always buy 2 minimum if I'm ordering or going out to buy manga. xD |
 |
| I go kinda crazy when I am at a store, but not online. I can't just buy one thats for sure. I usually buy at 2-3 unless I have alot of money to blow. |
| Yes, I do. I alyways go in the shop with the intention to buy ONE Manga - and when I come out of the shop again I spent at least 20 € on Manga. Let alone the "AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! That Manga finally came out!" *jumping around and kissing the Manga* |
| WICHTIGE UMFRAGE zum Thema Anime/Manga/Japan/... http://animexx.onlinewelten.com/umfragen/85928/ Bitte macht mit, falls ihr es noch nicht getan habt. DANKE! ^^ |
| Yup. xD I rarely ever get to buy manga now, so when I get the chance to order online, I end up splurging. I will only buy manga on sites with promotions or discounts though. So many series are unreasonably priced these days. |
| Im kind of new to manga, but what ive been doing is using my extra money to buy shortish manga series. and then once i finish it order an other one. Its cheap and easy i think, and i really dont ever plan on going to crazy on manga or buying a long series like bleach! |
EL. PHY. CONGROO. |
| What I said yes XD? |
 |
| I go crazy buying anything game or manga/anime related. I was supposed to just order one Claymore Volume the other day and .hack//Infection (game), ended up ordering 3 Claymore Volumes, .hack//Infection, Lives Vol.1 and Darkstalkers/Red Earth |
| I go slightly crazy, when I go into the store, I always have the intention of buying just the one I want and leaving, but I end up grabbing at least 3 or 4 every time. |
Eyes always lose their fire |
| i buy around 10 to 12 volumes of manga every two months maybe less when there not that much i want. |
| I used to buy lots of manga each month, often 30 volumes or more. Nowadays I try to restrict myself a little because I don't have that much money (and space on my shelves xD), but I still buy around 10 books each month (sometimes more if I find a cheap offer somewhere). |
 |
| I used to now i read them online. |
| Usually about 2-3 every 2 weeks, I used to buy more than that but my local waterstones closed so I can only get it when I go into London as that was the main place I got my manga. Unfortunately, my mother hates me buying stuff online, so I'm kinda limited to where I get my manga from |
 |
| I buy around 2-10 volumes whenever I get the chance. |
| I don't buy manga; the only series I'm collecting is Sailor Moon, both the re-releases and the old books. |
| i would buy alot of manga if i have the chance ;_; |
| I don't typically buy manga any more, but I used to buy like 1-3 manga a month when I was in high school. Occasionally I would buy manga when I lived in Korea since they were cheaper there (Japanese-language manga), but now that I'm back in the USA it's hard to justify spending 11 bucks on a manga... I'd rather spend the money on something that lasts longer, like a game or anime. |
 |
| About 8-10 years ago, it used to cost me US$ 4 ( conversion ) a manga. I started reading online ever since 2007 because it feeds me the latest chapters. Just recently, I went to check out the my local retailer and found that the publisher in my country did fold although manga translated from other countries still make their way here. |
| I go crazy downloading Manga. |
| According to my LibraryThing's statistics, this month marked my largest purchase of 182 volumes at one time. Previous large purchases were 172, 166, 131, and 95 volumes. I believe my largest purchase at once was actually 300 volumes for $100 a while back, but that was before I had my LibraryThing account, so don't even remember when that was. So yeah, I guess I go a bit crazy buying manga, but I try not to spend a fortune on it. |
| Usually I buy 5-6 volumes of manga at a time and that holds me over for a few months, then I buy more. Never really bought any amount more than that at one time. |
| Yes. I spend most of my wages on manga. I rather buy manga than go out for a drink. I can buy anywhere from 5-20 volumes a month, sometimes more if I can get a really good deal (basically got the whole collection of Boys over Flowers, bar volume 2 for £35! Just over a pound per book) - also depends on the release date of series I'm collection, things like One Piece, Ao No Exorcist, Fairy Tail, Dogs Bullets & Carnage, I'll buy on release date and others I don't mind waiting for the price to drop. The saddest thing is, there is still a lot more I want to buy, but I don't have the shelf-space to keep buying manga. |

The saddest thing is, there is still a lot more I want to buy, but I don't have the shelf-space to keep buying manga. I agree with you there, shelf-space is a major worry for me, I have so much that I just have piles of manga on my floor. With series as long as One Piece I just started reading online after buying the 20th volume. |
| With my recent purchase of 620 volumes, seems I'll have to start stacking manga on the floor as well. I can probably rearrange things to get some on my shelves, but there's no way all of them are going to fit. |
| When I buy in stores I tend to buy two volumes at a time of 1 series. If I'm buying online,I'll order 5 total volumes made up of 3 different series. Usual 4 cheap volumes and one more expensive volume. |
 |
| I used to buy but now I read them online. Cheaper way :D |
| I don't always buy manga, but when I do it's usually in 1-12 volumes worth. On the other hand, when I buy American Comics, it's a single volume at a time, as most good American comics are one shots anyway. My manga collection is only around 200 volumes though, and for comics it's well under 30. So much easier to read online. |
 |
| I usually buy manga when there is a con or a huge sale at my local book so if that's the case i get 15+ books at once lol |
| Anime/Manga Gives Heart To The World <3 http://www.youtube.com/user/lust4lyfe101 |
| I buy manga whenever I can, usually two or three volumes. Most places near me which sell manga have moved. I have bought about 12 mangas at once before though on a sale. Edit : Did I mention the closest bookshop with manga is at least $15 a volume? Its raping my wallet. |
