I do. I don't recall which mangas I have in my physical collection. But I have a huge collection of physical manga copies.

I would like to know if you also collect physical manga.

Yeah I do buy physical manga among other books as I don't want the shelf to be exclusively manga.

Kinda, but I'm space limited and only keep what I really like.
Got rid of a lot of them to move into my very first house.
Only 28 pieces left now, haven't bought a manga in forever either.

@Loyal_Sheepling aren't you rich because you are a landlord? Couldn't you afford more manga because you are rich?

I don't "collect" physical manga because I'm not obsessed with it and I really see no point in that cuz digital is just way more convenient. But my kids have maybe 10 shelves filled with that stuff - I wouldn't call it a collection though, just some paperbacks you buy occasionally here and there and too lazy/greedy to dispose when finished reading.

@DesuMaiden Lol, no I'm not rich. My sister is also the landlady of the house we rent, so will split the money between us.

@DesuMaiden There's one bookstore that also sells certain manga volumes in my town, I usually buy all my books there. I've never purchased any books online.

I don't specifically collect manga but I do enjoy comics so manga comes along with that. I've got a fairly large collection of books that are comics (I hate the term graphic novels but there's also no other good synonym for it) and there's a fair amount of manga mixed in there.

I've started to, yes. I have volumes 1 and 2 of Unmagical Girl, but unfortunately the third and final volume was never translated. I have all four of the complete Flowers of Evil omnibus volumes, and four of the Nana & Kaoru omnibus volumes (and I already preordered the last two). I have volumes 1-5 and 8-9 of Inside Mari, but can't seem to find volumes 6 and 7 anywhere. I have both volumes of Deadpool: Samurai, which I had finished reading recently. I have My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness and a bunch of its sequels (My Solo Exchange Diary volumes 1 and 2, My Alcoholic Escape from Reality, and My Wandering Warrior Existence). I also have I Married My Best Friend to Shut My Parents Up and Sayonara, Eri. Lastly, I have a bunch of hentai manga/doujinshi too. Amongst them are Lovely, Love Me, Imperfect Marble, Bootyholic, How Good Was I?, Ecchi Sketch!, Otherworldly Maidens: Monster Girls from Another World, My Mikage-san, Head-to-Head Showdown, Spring Yearning, and Hot Honey Ecstasy. I plan on getting more manga.

Yeah I got around 100 volumes. Used to buy it for cheap but it has become too expensive now.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

One of my expensive hobbies. I've over 100 volumes in my collection. Some are local print and translation, but the most of them are English ones. My favorite manga is collector's edition version and some are in a larger format than the usual norm.

i have a small collection of my favorite manga, manga i enjoyed or generally anything id recommend to anybody. Usually Im a big fan of trading manga collections with friends. The main reason i keep my physical collection is that when i meet people that are into manga or i have somebody who is interested in starting with manga its easier to just lend them some of mine.

Unfortunately, no I do not. I have a couple of manga and volumes but not enough to start a collection. I usually buy and read it online because I don't like to ship physical manga because of shipping fees. Bookstores and libraries near me do not offer a wide selection of manga for me to choose from so I just buy online. If there were more manga to choose from near me then I would happily start a collection, I hope to have a physical collection shortly.

Only of a select amount of manga bc I'm definitely not going to get the popular Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family etc in my local supermarkets for overpriced values... Like if I don't feel it touches me and motivates me to reread, small chance I'd buy.
Still, sometimes watching if there are discounts on manga that I've got my eye on is worth it, bc you never know right.

Pls don't write animeS or mangaS >.< // + <50 man(g/hw/hu)a not in MAL. // Join my >manga club< here!

I did ages ago and my dad would make fun of me for it thus I just started to read manga digitally and buy it that way. This was years ago, not recently. Also I don't have the space, let alone can afford physical manga.

I do, but it's not quite what it's built up to be. You just end up with all these static books lying around that you're always too careful to not overread otherwise you'll burn yourself out. As a purchaser of physical manga, i wouldn't take offense to someone saying they wouldn't be interested in getting into the endeavor. I don't know why i like collecting them, i just do! it's an enigma. Maybe it's the fresh smell of ink and paper...
