| I got my first manga set in December 2018 on I think the 26th but I started collecting in the end of July 2019. I have 53 books, but 51 manga and 2 light novels. Thanks! |

| I never really count my manga, probably i have hundred volumes now, I started collecting it since high school, most of them are famous shounen manga like soul eater, one piece, etc. |
| No manga because it is 2020 and we broke |
| On my own I probably only have 1 or 2 volumes. I generally share with my sister though and she has well over 200, and has been collecting since 2009. |
 |
| I currently have about 3000 manga, need to sell some of these though because I also accumulated garbage along the way. Think I started collecting around 8 years ago something like that. |
 |
| I only started buying physical manga at the beginning of this year, and so far only have the first 3 volumes of HxH lol. But I plan on expanding my collection soon \o/ |
 |
| I started collecting at the end of last year. I needed to know how Made in Abyss continued. One thing led the other, and now I'm sitting with more than 30 volumes xD |
 |
| Most of the manga I've read in recent years was online; the only manga I own physically are the ones I read as a kid circa 2012-2014 (Dragon Ball, Pokemon Special, the Himekawa Zelda adaptations, etc.), maybe about 10-12 volumes |
| Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. REST IN PEACE KENTAROU MIURA |
| I have like 9 volumes of Dragon Ball that I was gifted |

| It's real small. Two multi-volume books of Dance in the Vampire Bund. One volume of Nisekoi*. Three volumes of Japanese Standup!*. Two volumes of Deadman Wonderland. (I'd love to grab them all) Also, the * are the ones I saved from a donation store. Yeah, it's real small, and my LN side is much bigger... even though it's just Spice & Wolf. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Approx around ~200 volumes. Tfw no more space and no $. I don't know when I started collecting. And I wouldn't say I'm a true collector just yet. That will be later on in the distant future. |
| I own more but in my shelves I only have 159: -Hunter x Hunter (35 Volumes) -Fullmetal Alchemist (27 Volumes) -Naruto (72 Volumes) -Soul Eater (25 Volumes) In some cartons I also have some single volumes of Death Note, Noragami, and Mirai Nikki. I started buying my first Manga in 2009-2010. I never made it to much in that direction (as you see above) but I liked Naruto and all that stuff back then, discovered Anime etc. and bought some stuff from time to time. |

| Most of mine is in storage so I can't count now. I stopped counting after 500 volumes. |
  YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE |
| Got my first volume in I think 2017, but didn't start collecting until last year. Currently have 73 volumes (including a 4-volume omnibus). |

guych said: No manga because it is 2020 and we broke Same. However if I had money I would gladly buy a lot of series. Reading on paper is nicer anyways imo. |
| Not many, a little bit more than 100 volumes. First one I got was in... 2011, I guess? I don't buy many mangas nowadays cuz where I live they're f*cking expensive lol |
  |
| I own about 50ish Manga. I started buying manga in 2010 but when I moved in with my grandparents I had my manga in tote bags and they had a leak in their AC so a couple manga got damaged and I stopped collecting manga then. But now I started to collect again ^^ |
 |
| At the moment I own about 175 volumes. Just recently I did throw some away, because lack of space and I wasn't really feeling those mangas anymore. I think I bought my first manga around 2007 or 2008? Can't really remember anymore, to be honest. ^^' |

| I have somewhere between 200-250 but I have stopped collecting for a good 3 years. I am actually trying to get rid of my manga collection since I only really read digital manga now and I am thinking of restarting my collection but just collecting original japanese manga instead (my collection atm is nearly all in english language prints). I started collecting around 2009 I would say? But didn't get serious until 2011-2015. After that I only bought one or two volumes of things I REALLY liked. |
 |
| Probably around 70 volumes, with some omnibuses sprinkled in. Used to be pretty serious about wanting to start a big manga collection, but then I started getting more into the video/film aspect of things. DVDs and laserdisc more specifically. Now I only really buy manga if I can find something weird and obscure. |
  |
| I have around 40-50 manga volumes and around 10 light novels. I started collecting them somewhere in 2018 I believe. I still read digital, but there is just something satisfying about reading a physical copy for me. |
| Just 3 volume, One-piece 18-39, Naruto 1. I'm a broke man. |
| So after dropping my laptop to count, I think I'm sitting at 985 manga and 42 light novels. Unless my boyfriend has taken more out of the home than I know about, it should be accurate. Of that, I've read 25 of the light novels (only recently started collecting them seriously) and all but 31 of the manga. Now that I know I'm that close to breaking 1000 manga, I'm a little tempted to run to the bookstore. I'd definitely be long past it if I didn't buy omnibuses whenever possible. I've been collecting since...I want to say early 2018? Late 2017? I had several hundred volumes around 2009, but I ended up selling them due to money issues, and I only recently decided to start collecting them again. I'm actually working on a living room remodel project specifically for the manga collection because I'm out of room. Hasn't stopped me from buying any, though. Robinne said: I currently have about 3000 manga, need to sell some of these though because I also accumulated garbage along the way. Think I started collecting around 8 years ago something like that. That's really impressive! Hope to get there in a couple years. I've tried to sell things after reading them if I don't find anything redeeming about them (whether artwork or story). Since I do it often enough, it doesn't feel like I get much for them in the long run. I bet if you have a mass clean-out, you'll make a nice buck off of it! EDIT: Legit went out and bought 29 manga and 1 light novel in order to break 1000 manga volumes. Updated numbers: Light Novels: 43 Manga: 1014 |

| It's been so long I actually had to dig them out in order to remember all of them Bleach Volume 1 Darker than Black Nagato Yuki Chan Volume 1 Pokemon Adventures Volume 1 Yu-Gi-Oh! 3 in 1 Volume 2 Zelda: Four Swords Volume 2 Zelda: Majora's Mask/ ALTTP Zelda: Minish Cap / Phantom Hourglass Zelda: Ocarina of Time |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Been collecting since middle school (around 2014/2015) 1-7 soul eater 1-4 Gantz omnibuses 1-5 Highschool of the dead 1-9 Battle Royale and a few misc volumes and a few complete omnibuses like Another, Summer Wars, 5 centimeters per second |
| Very little, not even 20 volumes. I didn't really start reading manga until 2019, and I rarely purchase physical stuff anymore. My Blu-ray/DVD/LD/VHS collection is much bigger, but I don't really collect anymore. |
 |
| I don't own any manga, I've never owned any manga, and it is doubtful I will ever own any manga. Robinne said: I currently have about 3000 manga, dude |
"Wonder is always difficult until you forgive whoever destroyed your love of surprises" — Edmond Manning  |
| Not that much. Dragon Ball complete, Naruto complete, Sailor Moon complete, 2 random volumes of JoJo, and the Battle City arc of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters. I'd love to have manga for every series I'd like, but it's so expensive. |
  |
| If I go by my manga stats I have 564 volumes, but it misses some atm and omnibus are a thing so not completely accurate. Also I have given away some of the series I have owned in the past like Naruto. I have started to buy digital releases since they're so much cheaper, limiting printed version only to series I really love. As for when I started idk, my very first own manga volume I bought was Tokyo Mew Mew vol 1 so I guess 2005? |
 |
| I occasionally buy one or two volumes when we get to visit our relatives from another city since we don't have a bookstore where we live, started collecting around last year Currently I have: Naruto volume 4 Koe no Katachi complete set Komi-san volumes 1-2 Bloom Into You volume 2 Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria volume 1 Mikagura School Suite volume 1 Pokemon Black and White volumes 1 and 2 The others were gifts from relatives since they know I'm into the "weird Japanese cartoon stuff" |
  Even as we miss each other, always stay as you are Because I'll surely come and see you ♫♫♫ |
| None, but I'm tempted to buy the two English translated volumes of Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro aka Please Don't Bully Me, Nagatoro just because I've known about it for a while. |
 |
| I just read all the manga at my school's library. But I don't have it all listed on my profile :P |
| I have maybe 200 volumes and half of that are JoJo (French edition). |
| I used to have two plastic containers full of vintage graphic novels from Barnes and Noble but my mom made me either give it away, sell it at a garage sale or donate it to the Used Bookstore. They'd be really valuable now, even in used condition. :( A lot of them are out of print and never went back INTO print. |
| I own the complete box set with all volumes and art book of Claymore manga. |
 |
| Not much. 5 volumes of Aria the Masterpiece, the Emanon series (Memories and Wandering, so 3 volumes), 3 volumes of Made in Abyss, the deluxe hardcover of Junji Itou's Uzumaki, and the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind box set (two gorgeous hardcover tomes). So yea, that's only 14 volumes altogether. I plan to purchase the first 10 volumes of Houseki no Kuni soon, though, so that'll nearly double my collection lol And when I started collecting? Uh Idk, probably sometime last year. I was never much into manga until fairly recently. |

| I started to collect them like 9 years around the same time I started reading manga overall. Some of the series I collected though I lost interest in over time that I either sold them or just keep some in my addict. But my currently ones that occupies my room is as folow, All the Latest vols of Vinland Saga, HXH, Berserk, One Punch Man, D Gray Man, Vagabond, Cells at Work. Then complete series like Blade of the Immortal, Dragon Ball, Genshiken, Bakuman and Psyren, And then unfinished collections like some Jojo vols, Dorehedoro, Zelda mangas, Black Jack, Battle Angel Alita, Ghost in the Shell. Wow, thats a lot come to think of it. Not to mention the ones I have in the addict lol |
| How I love a game |
| I never counted my volumes, but I'm in. = 586 volumes of manga unless I miscounted or missed or forgot something. + 306 volumes of western comics (since I was at it I counted those as well) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Just counted- 28 volumes (not including artbooks). I feel like thats such a minuscule amount because im commenting after @pullman with his fatty collection. Like whoa man |
| I don't own any manga because they're expensive as fuck here. Thank god the internet exists. (26/4/20)Edit: My favourite app to read manga from has stopped their services. :( smad. |

 |
| Not much compared to the other people. I started around late 2011 or was it early 2012, I really can't remember. Bought a few volumes. As of now, I have 810 manga in English (omnibuses counted as 1), 2 novels, and 99 manga in Japanese. All in physical since I'm not a fan of digital manga and well region restrictions that comes with it. |
| Half a year has passed since I started collecting,currently have about 150vols (omnis count as one). |
