| some people ♥ my threads which makes me very ☺ i'll bump some older cool threads until i come up with an idea for a new thread hint hint maybe later tonight |

| Got over 100 volums of manga on my bookshelf and I dont plan on stopping. I love collecting manga and it gives life to my room. |
| yo |
| I'm pretty sure no one on my anime list collects manga or anime. I mean why would they ever do that. |
My taste is trash. So is yours. |
| I only own the first Kuroshitsuji artbook ;-; but I would like to have more. The pictures featured in these are nice to look at. I have reserved the FFVII Remake artbook (through not anime, it's still an artbook lol) so... |
| Oh I personally love the “Art of” books, particularly character concept design and world building ones. 😁 I have an art of Evangelion book that was gifted from a friend of mine, and an Art of Fire Emblem Awakening/Knights of Iris book. Most of the art books that I want to buy are quite pricey though, (over $60) so I’m quite hesitant to buy too many as of now, but I do want to start an actual collection sometime in the future. |

| I own one artbook, for Loveless. I don't actually care for the series itself, but at the time I got it it was the only manga artbook available in my country, so I had to buy it XD I like it tho. Wouldn't mind getting some more for series I do care about ^^ Cheating a little, but i started collecting doujinshi earlier this year, and well, they devoured my entire wallet XD It's a small collection so far, entirely focused on JoJo, but man I love it so much <3 I now want to learn Japanese just to be able to read it properly... But until then, I'll keep looking at the art. It's so pretty~! <3 |

| Items currently in my possession Sailor Moon Original Art Collection 1-5 Sailor Moon Original Art Collection infinity Sailor Moon Setting Collection Magic Night Rayearth Original Art Collection 1 Magic Night Rayearth Original Art Book 2 Cat's Return: Setting Documents Collection fate/zero Original Art Book 1 Items I owned in the past Original art collection of Tsukasa Hojo Evangelion EVE Evangelion Setting Documents Collection Things I would like to have if I had the chance Girl Revolution Utena Original Art Collection Hikaru no Go Original Artbooks The one I wanted the most was the Sailor Moon original art book, so now that I have that, there are no more art books that I really want. I don't buy many manga books because they are not the same size as manga books, so there is not much room for them in my bookshelf. And when I do get them, I don't open the pages very often because I'm worried about them getting scratched, or because I don't want to waste time looking at them. |

I saw your comments on other forums about what you want, and I know, I know. By the way, I bought a set of Sailor Moon art books, set material books, and Infiniti at a second-hand store, but it was very expensive. For a moment I thought I might never get it again, so I thought I should buy it. I've been buying Nakayoshi's magazine for several years, and when Sailor Moon and Rayearth were serialized, I was really looking forward to the color cover, so I especially love it. |

I guess by free goodies you mean the appendix, which comes with every issue. You know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm surprised. Cardcaptor Sakura was published, what, a year ago? I only bought it once when it came back. I was a little embarrassed to buy it as an adult. So I didn't buy the recent Nakayoshis with the anniversary goods. This topic is not about the magazine, so if you're interested, I can post a picture of the magazine in the comments. As for the appendixes, I still have the Sailor Moon and Rayearth ones, so would you like to see those too? Also, Nakayoshi, for several years I bought and read the magazine, but never actually read any of the stories except the ones I liked. So, even though I'm Japanese, I don't really read every single magazine. |

Also, Nakayoshi, for several years I bought and read the magazine, but never actually read any of the stories except the ones I liked. So, even though I'm Japanese, I don't really read every single magazine. What I actually meant was how several manga pages were printed on pages of different colors on the physical magazine issue. Like how one manga chapter might be printed on purple pages and some other on blue and some other on green, etc. That seems to be how manga magazines in Japan have their chapters printed, at least the shoujo ones like in Nakayoshi, right? I thought that was really cool because not only were manga magazines not really much of a thing over here (maybe really early on in the 2000s when Viz media published magazines like "Shoujo Beat" and the English version of Weekly Shounen Jump), but iirc they didn't really do monochrome color pages like that to my knowledge. Sorry I didn't state that part properly, I assumed that you'd automatically know what I'm talking about. I know about these because I've seen and briefly skimmed through a couple of used magazine issues in Book-Off a few times. And yeah, feel free to send some magazine pictures in my profile comments or a private message! :) |

| Sadly, I've never gotten my hands on an art book, but I am severely intersted in some. Specifically, the Pseudomorph of Love which is about Houseki no Kuni and some of the aforementioned ghibli and ccs artbooks . |
    beep boop bop pow |
| A few years ago I got my hands on Vol. 1 of Naoko Takeuchi’s Sailor Moon artbook and I hope to get my hands on a the All About CLAMP artbook and the Code Geass Mutuality artbook sometime in the near future |

| I only have Steins;Gate manga. Maybe I will buy Jujutsu Kaisen when it will be released in my country. |
 |
| Most of my art books are slightly ecchi oh yeah none of these are related to anime, these artists have worked on some LN's and have some artwork related to cet series but most of it is original works. Some books also show the artists process in drawing certain images step by step which is kinda cool. |

| I got myself the Princess Mononoke art book the other day, I'm pretty stoked about that. That's my only art book so far. Other art books that I'm on the lookout for are Der Mond: The Art of Evangelion, The FLCL Archives, The Art of Spirited Away, Steins;Gate Artwork: Imaginations of Huke, Ghost in The Shell Original Collection, etc. |
| Not particularly. I own a few Artbooks of Ghibli Movies and one Junji Ito artbook but that's it. I'm mostly collecting manga and comics, art books are not really one of my primary interests. I could be convinced to invest in an artbook from this guy tho: https://myanimelist.net/people/2967/Yoshitaka_Amano In general there's a few artists I'd be interested in, but I'm not actively looking for artbooks. If I see them in a store while browsing I might get them, but that's about it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Yeah, exactly. I love the way Yoshiyuki Sadamoto draws his characters, especially their geometry and posture, and how he shades and colours his drawings. As for Huke, his use of textures and shadow is unlike any artist I've come across, some of his Steins;Gate art is unforgettable. I have a book with Huke's Black Rock Shooter illustrations. I see, that's nice. |

| And now since Easter has come here's my Persona 5 artbook as i swear to fucking god value village always has fucking god tier good stuff to always go through. Also the game in the background is one of the games i'm playing and simping for since octopath is proof that Square isn't always apparently producing cancer trash shit that should not be supported and bought at all times Triangle Strategy since i loved Octopath and Bravely by Asano the guy who was behind those games i mentioned. |

| I don’t own any art books but I do own physical manga. I think it looks really cool on my shelf. If you are wondering what manga it’s jojo, death note, 20th century boys and berserk |

Fario-P said: Yes! It's actually the first series that's featured when you flip past the "1954-1960" splash page. :) Apparently there's videos that show you what it looks like, here's the Princess Knight portion: https://youtu.be/mQTFlSwlJlc?t=30 It doesn't look like there's anything from Sabagebu. I began watching this funny CGDCT today.  |

| I borrowed an art book from the library. It's not about anime or manga, but I'm going to talk about it anyway. It's called The Art of Ramona Quimby. I don't like it. One thing I dislike is that it's missing a ton of nostalgic covers, because the book instead focuses on interior illustrations. Yet they still take the time to praise Joanne Scribner, responsible for a series of hideous covers I've never seen before in my life. I must have been lucky to miss her generation, whenever that was. The other problem is that the pictures are neither arranged by artist nor by date. They are arranged by book. Each chapter therefore has several differing pictures of the same scene mixed together. Jacqueline Rogers is the best artist. |

I got one with: Most of those are basically exclusive to some kind of Special Edition of the anime released by Aniplex USA, NIS America, Funimation, or a collaboration between Bandai and Rightstuf.com (Nozomi Entertainment) as well, which definitely were expensive, yes. Especially the AniplexUSA releases. Such kinds of Editions are often limited as well and they only make so many. Most of them are probably hard to find at this point. |
