Around 400 vols, I saw this because my last count was around a year ago and it was 380, but I've bought and sold some since then, so its probably close to 400. Been collecting since 2004.

Hmmm, a lot? I'll take collection pictures and catalogue either late this month or early next month, but it's gotta be over 1200 at this point I'd wager.

Since my last post back in October of 2012, I was at 988 volumes, but since then to this date I have 1,648 volumes. So in a little over a year I've added 660 new volumes. My next goal is 2,000 which I should reach sometime this year.



Wow. Over $6000 spent on manga in a year? $500 a month? Someone gets paid the big bucks! Get that list updated! What's this 100 entries? I want to see the BIG list!

Personally I'm around 400.

I have something like ~150 volumes, can't bother to count how many exactly. Most of them are One Piece volumes (I have 1-60 exactly) and Naruto volumes, from when those were the only series I knew of like 4 years ago.

Edit: Ok nvm I had to count exact number, heh. 153.

I have no idea where you got that number, but I have not spent nearly that much. Some volumes cost me $1, others I've bought in bulk, and others I have paid full price for raw manga+shipping from Japan. Raw prices have varied widely with the exchange rate over the years. Raw used to be quite cheaper than translated.

I posted some pics on my blog: http://shinkeikaku.wordpress.com/2013/09/08/new-bookcases/
I left out about 3 bookcases and there's multiple boxes of manga packed away, but you just the idea.

I paid less than $10 each for the bulk of them. Only nice Feel Young and other A5 sized manga will run that much. Double-stacking is a necessary evil. I don't like it, but I can cram in so many more books.

Somewhere between two and three dozen.

I own the Viz localization of Shakugan no Shana, up to the last volume before they canceled it, and the first 11 F/SN localizations from Tokyopop before they went under. The others are assorted; Electric Pikachu Bogaloo series (complete), some .hack, and one or two others. The .hack//G.U. light novels are also in my collection, but I didn't count them.

If I buy more in the future, it will only be in Japanese.

I never pay full retail price for the manga I buy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy as many volumes as I have. I'd cut that amount you mentioned by about half. Still a lot of money, but nowhere near the sticker price you'd find on the volumes themselves.

Also, while I do have that many manga, I am very slow about reading series. So my manga list itself doesn't get updated with the same frequency. Another thing to take note of is that many of the series I collect are still ongoing and therefore, not included in that finished list. I'm the type of person to collect for the sake of collecting and will leave things lying on my shelves (sometimes for years) until something finally pushes me into reading it. Just how it is with me ;)

If I lived in Spain everything'd be easier, Inio Asano's works are becoming trendy and amazon prices are too expensive fro me.

I don't think so, the american translation is made by Fanthagraphics, not your average publisher, very versed in manga translations, including hentai. And alternative comic books.

Also the edition is orgasmic.
