'Cos if he stole them to read them? Dude, Internet. Get with it. It's free (err, the manga, not the services) and is about as legal as stealing the graphic novels, but with somewhat less risk. XD

So 50 volumes of manga on his first run, and then he goes back to get another 51??
Hmm, I could imagine the scenario to be like this:
---
*packs in 50 books, bringing total stolen volumes to 100
Man: Kekeke... done! Time to go... whoa?!?!
*Man sees limited edition of - insert whatever title - on display
Man: Heck, might as well grab this too~
Shopkeeper: HEY... STOP, THIEF!!
Man: @#!%

Don't you think that it would be really heavy and really obvious?? I think that Dark_Koji is right! He wanted to go back and get the limited edition. Haha.

"You want to sell us all this manga? They look unread and in perfect condition...50 of them eh? Hmm, I wonder why?"
Maybe it's just me! ;)

Is this even possible... I mean if it were, it goes to show how stupid the shop keepers are. For a guy to be able to "sneak out" 50 volumes of manga??? Dude that is just sooo messed up. And if it were true, WHY THE HELL DID THE GUY GO BACK FOR MORE?! I'd be happy to be able to have 50 volumes of manga for "free"
If it's true that he wanted to sell'em to pay back his debts, I guess it's quite tempting to try again when he had already managed to steal 50 volumes. After all this guy was quite desperate.

...you know, that actually sounds feasible... xD it was probably the super sparkly limited edition of the book and he decided that, yanno, while he was robbing the store blind, he might as well take that one too... moron...

I wish they released security footage of him carrying 50 manga out the door- and then coming back for more.
That video would be epic xD
