| Just recently splurged money on buying all the volumes of one of my favorite series - in addition to one volume of another manga that I like - and realized that at this point I will be close to owning half of my favorite series. I plan to buy two more series in the future, but both of them have multiple volumes so I'll take it step by step. |
| 4/6: YKK (Deluxe Edition 1), Beastars (Vols. 1-22), JoJo (different part, Vols. 1-3, 5), and Our Dreams at Dusk (Vol. 1) |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| From the ones I'm sporting currently in favorites: all but 2. Light novels included. |
My Rereads | My Favorite Mangaka | Soylent Green Buy stuff, or buy at least your favorites if you can afford it - Don't be lame. D W-W&N π€ MAL is a far cry from being my main literature site, that's why I won't be doing mere single chapter updates anymore. Manga- aka Baka-Updates + 2 French ones are miles better and more thorough/complete + less restricting. The latter are perfectly suited for Manga/Light Novel/Books collectors such as myself. Less stressful/tiring this way. -g- |
| 2, but only 2 are also available in my country |
 |
| I have a few OPM Volumes and one random death note one. |
 |
| 7 out of 10, including NANA, which you can't even get physical English copies of anymore, so I'm pretty glad I hung on to those. Seems like the cheapest complete set on eBay is $400. I wonder when I should cash in. Of the ones I don't own, Berserk was too long and expensive to buy, and I Am a Hero and Ran and the Grey World hadn't been published in English when I read them. |
| everything thats out in english from nagata kabi entirety of Fukakai na Boku no Subete wo so yeah thats only two those that i enjoy but didnt fit on my favs list: 30 vols of black butler missing only one xxxholic omnibus; vol 4 is like completely gone cant get it anywhere at all |
 |
| Only Danganronpa the Animation & Mayo Chiki, own all vols of both. |
 |
| From my current top 10 manga I own 9/10. I'm really happy I managed to get all of The Wallflower physically. It's super out of print. Yanota is the only one I don't own physically since it has no English release. I own 1 Japanese volume of it, but that doesn't really count. |
| I only own physical copies for my top three favorite manga, since the other two sadly don't have any physical copies...is what I was about to say, but I literally just searched it up and found out The Horizon is getting an English release in a month so fuck yeah I'm getting that. But if the English copies are available - with the exception of AkG and AC since I'm not nearly as into them as I was when I first read them 5+ years ago - so far I own volumes for every manga I've rated a 8/10 or above. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Very few: I'm 3 volumes short of Goodnight, Punpun. The rest of my favs are nowhere near a domestic edition |
 |
| Around 20 volumes of bleach. 2 volumes of kny (they are so hard to find. Will be ordering another volume soon though). 1 ordered for berserk. 5 of vagabond. I do have plenty of other volumes (somewhere around 60) but not all of them are my favs. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

"It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities" - HP1 forever fave quote //This was quoted in the year of 2009 |
| @Doom85 Damn, that sucks for me! Not that I really wanted to part with them anyway (I love NANA), but I have received some decent offers for the collection over the years. Oh well, glad it's still on Viz's radar. When I was big into collecting manga about twelve years ago, it felt like Viz barely reprinted anything (I gave up on the Vagabond single volumes because they would so rarely reprint them, and I waited years for them to reissue some of the single editions of Neon Genesis Evangelion). On the topic — I bought the old Viz editions of Battle Angel Alita on eBay in 2016 since the series had been out print for over a decade, then Kodansha reprinted it in 2018! I still preferred my Viz ones because Kodansha only had massive deluxe editions, but now they've reprinted it again in regular size. I guess the movie adaptation probably bought a lot of attention to it. I used to be quite selective with manga purchases because the industry seemed fairly volatile and I was worried about being left with incomplete collections (which did happened when publishers like Del Rey, Tokyopop, and ADV went under, and also when even well established publishers like Dark Horse would just give up on series, like they did with Eden: It's an Endless World), but now the English-language industry seems much healthier and with more selection than ever. There's nothing really nefarious in Ran. I know the tone and whole scenario is a bit strange, but I had such fun with that manga. The artwork is amazing. |
| At least one of all of them, I think. I have most of the Spy x Family ones, all of Zombiepowder, two Yu-Gi-Oh (three in one so technically six), and three Haruhi. The Zelda ones are complete because I have the legendary edition, or whatever it's called. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| I own 6/8. Chihayafuru has no physical English volumes for me to collect (and I might be taking it off my favorites list soon anyways), and I used to own Queen's Quality/QQ Sweeper a while back before I got rid of them because no new volumes were coming out. I'm planning to re-collect it, though. |
The siren of a flightless bird Quietly destroying its cage Dance, until tonight, with a raised voice- For I don't want to lose hope! -Utsuro wo Aogu, Vivid BAS SQUAD |
| 5/10. I would've gotten more but some have only Japanese physical copies or I already completed them before I got into the hobby of collecting manga. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| All of them, I hate reading online so I have physical copies of everything I read. If I can't get a physical copy, then I won't read it. There's exceptions, like if I reeeeally wanna read something but I can't find any physical copy (only happened once though) or if it's actually disgusting. |
 cacagorilla will take over |
| Only one; Attack on Titan |
| Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. REST IN PEACE KENTAROU MIURA |
| Only one volume of Dragon Ball because all of its English editions are trash for now. Someday I might buy 20th Century Boys. |
 |
| All of them—Sailor Moon, Madoka Magica, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kitchen Princess, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Twin Spica, and even Fairy Idol Kanon. There's only 8 favorites listed for now because I'm indecisive, but I might even add Yu-Gi-Oh (which I also recently got all of lol) onto my favs soon... |
 |
| Only missing A cruel God reigns from my favorites, since it doesn't have english print or in any other language I could read. Still hoping one day we'd get official translation of it. Uzumaki 3-in-1 deluxe edition by Viz. Devilman: the classic series by Seven seas entertainment. Dementia 21 by FantaGraphics. Helter skelter by Vertical comics. Franken Fran I have three of Seven seas entertainment omnibuses, but as I was unable to get last one in series I bought german prints to finish the series. Berserk I have single volume prints some of older DMP prints and some newer Dark horse, but not yet whole series. Daughter of iguana was published in English in A drunken dream and other stories by FantaGraphics. Parasyte as single volume print by Kodansha, but I think I might collect the colored hardcover collections too. Yu-Gi-Oh I actually have whole series in finnish by Sangatsu manga. I haven't counted for a while how many manga volumes I have. My collection was some 1 300 volumes so i have quite few of my fav series there. Longest series that I like is Yoshihiro Takahashi's Ginga nagareboshi gin series with its sequels, one prequel and its spin-off series. Quick count I have 146 volumes about these dogs and still buying the latest series... They're under a bed among other manga about dogs that I own. |
 |
| Almost all of them, tho I'm considering reading scans for series that are too long or not available in my country soon enough. |
| Sugar sugar rune as surprisngly its pretty sparse to find anywhere where i live. |
  |
| Only 2 series; Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and Yotsuba&!. I am running out of space for collectibles and starting to feel anxious for having too much stuff in my room that I even prefer to buy digital copies nowadays. |
  |
| Based on my favorite manga on my profile. I have all current volumes of Skip Beat (1-48). All 23 volumes of Fruits Basket (old version). I'm currently collecting the collector's edition. So vols. 1-4 is all I have so far. All 29 volumes of Oresama Teacher. For Gakuen Alice, I have vols. 3, 5, 7, 10-16. As you can see, I'm missing some of them (forever upset Tokyopop discontinued publishing this series. It's such a great one too). I have some vols. of Beauty Pop (5, 8-10). I don't have any Hana-Kimi volumes TwT I need to get on with collecting this one. It's such a good series. I only have four volumes of Ouran High School Host Club (vols. 7, 8, 17, 18). I decided to one day buy the whole box set. Once I buy that, I'll sell the extras I'll eventually have. Its' going to be a while tho. I need lots of money for this one ^ ^;; I only have vols. 9 and 11 of W-Juliet. No volumes on Love Com TwT A CRIME! Aaand lastly, another of my favorites is Bokura no Kiseki, but it's not licensed anywhere. So obviously, no volumes of that series at all ;___; I WANT IT SO BAD!! My goal is to collect all of these series. It's a process in obtaining all of them. I'm excited for the day I'll have them all in my possession. |
  |
| I have all 3 Slayers LN collector's edition and will get the next ones when they come out. I have all xxxHolic except omibus volume 4, impossible to find. I see Tsubasa omnibuses are also missing volumes, so I didn't even start with those yet. Hope for a reprint of both, would definitely get Tsubasa then. I have 16/23 vols of Nougami Neuro (spanish) and in the process of collecting the rest, almost there! Have some Haruhi volumes in another language, incomplete. Naruto vol 1 and 7. For Akatsuki no Yona, I have only the LN volume (spanish). I also have some manga not on my favorites, including some ongoings. I would also like to collect Berserk sometime, that large hardcover edition, when I have where to put 14+ large (and also not cheap) books. Maybe also Hanako-kun, the spanish edition is very pretty, with color pages in every volume. |
 |
| 7/9, I don’t have the volumes for Ao no Hako and Kaoru Hana so I read them online. The rest I have at least one physical volume. |
  |
| None. I'm planning to buy some of them in future. But there are ones that don't have physical copy so I'll probably self-print those |
| I own all my favorites as physical volumes. But since I'm rather picky, my collection isn't particularly large. It can all fit on one shelf. |
| I only own 2 out of 6: Detective Conan and Yotsubato! I only have volume 3 of Dungeon Meshi but I do plan to get every volume of it. I don't own the rest of my favorite manga physical copies but I planned to collect them sometime later. |
 |
| If my favorite manga is released in my country, then I buy it. In my collection are: Finished Dragon Ball (42 volumes) Fullmetal Alchemist (27 volumes) Neon Genesis Evangelion (14 volumes) Slayers (8 volumes) Voynich Hotel (3 volumes) Stil released: Dragon Ball Super (19 volumes) Shaman King (12 volumes) One-Punch Man (25 volumes) My Dress Up Darling (10 volumes) Insomniacs after school (2 volumes) Yuru Camp (13 volumes) Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir (2 volumes) Spy x Family (11 volumes) I also have some Light Novels: Sword Art Online (24 volumes) SAO Progressive (5 volumes) Re:Zero (30 volumes) NoGame NoLife (11 volumes + Practical War Game) Overlord (13 volumes) Soon there will be Sailor Moon Ethernal Edition manga here, so I will buy it too. And maybe Yomi no Tsugai. If there will be something in the future I will buy it too :) I like to have physical copy of something I like. And for me it's also some kind of respect to mangaka, for his/her hard work :) |
| None because i dont see the value in owning them personally. I have yet to feel the need to read the same manga or webtoon twice to be honest. |
| I only read physical copies so whatever i read on my list, i own them all as physical copy. |
| I've bought a few physical copies of manga. Out of my favorite manga though, I own an omnibus of Berserk, the first of its set, as well as the first 2-3 volumes of Helck. I also own most of Spy X Family, so there's that. |
| Quite a few actually .. most recently - just splurged and got the complete Junji Ito collection (*not the short story/ 1-shot collections), but all of the completed stories - so, 10 titles in all! Placed next to my pic with him, it is an epic shelf, I tell you!! :) |
| I adult have adult money so of course I do. - Boku no Hero Academia | In full, caught up. I have all of the Japanese manga and all the movie exclusive volumes as well. - Doukyuusei| Yep, the localized run is almost fully finished and I can't wait cause all we've had is fan scanlations of the last chapters. - Dark Heaven | I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it ever got officially translated. I've been tempted to buy the Korean one just because the collectors version is so gorgeous but I'll wait a little bit longer! - Banana Fish | I remember waiting and hoping Viz was going to do a new release when the anime came out and they never did. I've never looked to see what condition the best of the older release looks like versus cost but MEH maybe I'll just wait it out. - OreMonogatari | I desperately want to own it all. I don't know how often they to reprints. Shoujo Beat has been pretty infamous for saying how they often don't but I own a couple voumes I've been lucky to snag. - Chihayafuru | Now that the series is over I'm hoping Kodansha does a collectors box once the manga is fully localized. It would look so gorgeous and I need it. - Amaama to Inazuma | It was the first series I've ever fully owned. I got lucky getting them all pretty cheap during a sale so even when I was making peasent money I splurged and it's still absolutely cute. Do not regret. - xxxHolic | This one frustrates the heck out of me. Del Rey has fully switched Holic over to Omnibus and they look AWFUL. I found the first volume in pristine condition at a Thrift Store of all places years back and I've wanted to buy the singular volumes. But they're old prints so they're expensive!!! It's tempting to possibly buy the series in Japanese since I'm learning but I don't exactly want to mingle my collection like that. - A Man and His Cat | A whim buy. The first volume was so precious I just bought all of them. - Ase to Sekkan | I just finished this and I fully intend to buy the manga before the end of the year; probably Black Friday! - Otoyomegatari | It's on my list, I had favorited it really early on because it's just stunning but I was hoping years later it would've gotten finished by now since it's decently episodic like. 13 volumes. MAN. - Nausicaä | I got the collectors edition as a Christmas gift a few years back. Now it's sitting on my Ghibli display shelf. |
 |
| 7/10 for now. The ones I don't have are One Piece, Naruto, and Hajime no Ippo. There's 300 volumes between them and I don't have enough space in my apartment for them. |
 "The kindest person in the room is often the smartest." |
| Zero, absolutely none.. Do you think the kind of manga I like which is murder mysteries, are even available in this deserted country? |
 |
| I have a few here and there, used to have a bunch of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z stuff when I was younger. As of now I have a bunch of Chainsaw Man volumes, a Gintama Volume, a few Full Metal Alchemist ones, and some Death Notes volumes. My most prized possession is this Azumanga Daioh volume I got a few years ago, |
 |
| Everything I own is my favorites, except AoT which WAS one of my favorites but I stopped collecting th volumes since I am disappointed how the author ruined the story. I would like to own the Claymore manga , Shigurui which is not available in English and others which are not available where I live. The list what I own is on my profile about me. |

| To be honest im a very dedicated collector, i have 4/5 of my Favorite Mangas at home... → Made in Abyss 11/12 since the newest isnt out in my region yet → Houseki no Kuni 11/12, since its the same situation as MiA and also finding some of them in german felt like a choore since theys are out of print → Jigokuraku 13/13 → SCP Foundation: Iris of the Mirror World 1/1 i think only one LN volume was released The only one i lack is Q, Koi tte nan desu ka? since it didnt had any release outside of Japan as far as i know. Maybe i will get Totsukuni no Shoujo in the future as i really loved it too, it isnt part of my favorites but still deserves a mention. |
