50$?

Wow, that's a lot...

That's enough for a game right there.

I don't really have time per week, I usually go manga shopping about once every month. I usually just trade with members of my anime club. We lend manga and return it when we're done. It works out. But when I go manga shopping, I can spend from 20-100 dollars (US). Depends on the month usually.

My last order was 119€:

-Omnibus off Azumanga Daioh, 4 mangas for the prize of 19€, wich is practicly nothing since it was really worth it
- One Piece vol 13 -> 18
- Nodame Cantabile vol 1 -> 5
- Black Lagoon vol 1
-Nana vol 12

13 normal volumes and 4 in omnibus version, really good deal wich will last me another month :p

How much is 119€ in terms of American currency (The dollar and cents)?

(and more if i count my dvd lol)

In this september, i already bought ... 8 mangas, ~50 euros ^^" (and i haven't finish XD)

About 50 euros / month but it depends... When I have enough money and find interesting titles it can be up to 150-200 euros and then I wil not buy anything for a few months...

Well, about 20$ per week, since I do spend about 100-125$ per 1 or 2 months on mangas. It's my approximate average. I've bought only 2 times mangas in the past 2-3 months, but I buy a lot at the same time! ^^

I was chatting to a mate and bf about manga yesterday, as you do, and he happened to mention how much he'd spend on manga per week. Then I thought about how much I spend, and I just got curious about everyone else. So thought I'd ask the question to all of you, as I thought it'd be interesting to see.

NOTE:

  • This excludes anime. Only manga.
  • I know you probably don't count the exact amount of every single manga purchase, and it's not like you're going to grab any reciept that you have, if any. This question is based on average spending.
  • Although I live in Australia and we're all from everywhere on the planet, we'll make the currency US dollars.


Sorry about the poll, for some reason only the 0-10$ thing is appearing and not the rest of the figures, I don't know what's wrong. I'm @ college now, so I'll fix it once at home. Trying to close it, but not responding...

Per week?? I don't even own one piece of manga, unfortunately (no anime and manga shops exist here). But I'm ordering Blood+, the manga, from an online shop that distribues in my country (a wonder it exists!), and I will be spending a lot of money on the only 3 volumes they have from Blood+ (there are 5). I cannot restrain my happyness only at the thought of having them. ^_^

My friends will freak out when they'll see me reading "backwards".

I don't buy manga every week. There is not enough manga in our market for it xD Every week I go to my usual shops, if I find a new book I want I'll buy it. Sometimes it's up to my weekly allowance, others there are not new books.

It now depends on if they have volumes I need or if i see a new series that looks interesting. I may have to start ordering stuff online or ordering in volumes from the store itself.

I usually buy manga monthly, not weekly. I'll spend about £40-£45 per month, unless I happen to see a volume of something I like in a shop somewhere that I'll buy.

Interesting, 100% of all the users who voted spend 0-10$ on manga a week.
Why is that? lol

I hardly buy something each week. I just pick up stuff whenever Outland gets restocked. They have pretty much all of Battle Angel Alita and Last Order, for example, except for the first volumes...
Today I bought Claymore 2-6 totaling at 300kr or something. I was surprised to find they sold them at 79 per volume, and I got one of them for free. Yay for point card things.

I lol'd.

This week I spent £30 on manga. But that's only because I got paid. I think that's about $50.

It's hard to say per week, but about 200 skr (~ 25 $) a month. But it's never the same XD

£20 lately, which is around $32. I've just been crazy about manga recently. A few months ago it was extremely rare for me to spend £20 a month, let alone a week. I'll stop buying manga for a while soon though, now I've got a nice stash to read over christmas.

I used to spend ALOT more on Manga, but ever since my favourite series ended I have been slow in trying out newer series and have been following only about 1 or 2. Since they release a new volume roughly every 3 months or so, my expenditure on manga per week can be close to 0. I think that sometimes summarizes what most of us here experiences. ^_^;;

I just spent almost $70 on manga, but I completed a series (Sailormoon, I grabbed the short stories) and bought a whole new one (Rose of Versailles, I got the 2 giant 900 page editions). But I got it from a US site, so I didn't have to pay any shipping, unlike if I ordered them from Nihon. It was an impulse purchase after my ebay sale, but I don't regret it at all. Unfortunately I need to buy other things, so I'll have to wait for Christmas money to buy more manga (and I have a long wish-list XD). Good thing my 18th b-day is in February, and graduation in May. I should have plenty of cash soon enough.

$10-20 fits my spendage pretty well... Sometimes more, sometimes less, but this is the average if I go to the store and buy my manga. There's only one bookstore in my town that has a really good range of series, so that's where I go to get my weekly fill, though sometimes I order online. If I do, I go for the sites that have free shipping, so then I usually spend a little more ;)
