[General Discussion] Recent Anime/Manga purchases

I spent $600 in Animate in Akihabara during my trip. I bought 40 volumes of manga and 5 artbooks from there and other Bookoffs and Book Markets around the Kagoshima Prefecture along with figures, models, stationery, and other things.

I said I wasn't going to spend so much money. Do I have a problem?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Most amazing jew boots

I counted my manga recently.

197 volumes (English + Japanese; Japanese majority), and around 20 serialization magazines (Japanese), 3 serialization magazines (English), and about the same numbers for Japanese and English animation magazines.

I'll edit this when I get home to actually recount that shit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'll be nice to the 56k losers. This was from today's raid of the bookstores. Copied and pasted from journal but postcount +1 so whatever.

Pictures!:

My bag of tricks.



Fullmetal Alchemist 14 ($5.66), Bleach 11 & 12 ($5.66/ea). I have to go back and buy another copy of Fullmetal Alchemist 14 tomorrow because there is a special limited edition version floating around with Volume 0. I must have it.



One Piece 11-13 ($3.00/ea). I'm getting closer...



.hack//Twilight 1 ($1.00), One Piece 9 ($3.00), Soul Eater 4 ($5.50). Should have been Soul Eater 6, picked up the wrong copy. I'm gonna try to exchange it tomorrow.



RAVE animanga 2 (I to take a picture of 1) ($1.00/ea), Kyomu Iin 4 ($1.00), JINKI:EXTEND 2 ($1.00). I thought the RAVE was the actual manga but I was mistaken. Only $2.00 so it wasn't a big loss. Kyomu Iin is excellent, and I only need volume 3 and 5 to have the complete series. Sadly, only Bookoff carries the series, so its a waiting game.



Island 1 ($1.00), Vaizard 1 ($1.00), Eremantar Gerad 8 (I forgot to take a picture of 2)($1.00/ea). I love deals. Island is freaky shit. Not gonna buy anymore of it, since I have 1-3.



Vaizard 2 ($1.00), Trigun Maximum 4 (I forgot to take a picture of 8)($1.00/ea), JINKI:EXTEND 3 ($1.00).



My new bookshelf. Getting a second one to give a home to my other books and get rid of the ugly shelf I was using.



Japanese stuff that has no home.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, certainly not what you think. I've been trying to get new bookshelves since for the past few months I've been using something that I found in the basement that's probably older than I am. Its really ugly. Pretty much those are the books that did not fit on my new bookshelf, that will be going on the second one when I get it. (Along with my English manga and the stuff that I didn't take a picture of.)

I was speaking idiomatically.

So I got my second bookshelf today, this excites me a lot. I put it together and rearranged two parts of my room, although I'm not quite done cleaning.

Room Pics:

Purchases for today are the following. I already put them on my shelf so no pictures this time.

There's a US version now? How useless, the Japanese version hardly has any japanese.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't collect english manga anymore. I was thinking about selling what I have but tracking it down and repurchasing in Japanese isn't worth it. Also I'm hoping to be able to create manga on the professional level, so everything I have serves as a reference.

FELIPE NO

Went into BookOff before going to pick up my mother's check and found this gem for only $4.00. Mint condition with special booklet, which I did not previously have. Very pleased.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yotsubato! Vol 1 + 2 (JPN) $1/ea.
Trigun Maximum Vol 2,3,4 (JPN) $1/ea.

I love my job.

Also, someones been deleting my posts.

edit//Oh fine, I'll add pictures or something then.

Post that got deleted said Kyoko Karasuma of the Asakusa Police Department Vol.1 // $1

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Today's loot consists of One Piece 19-23 (End of Alabasta arc), ZOMBIE POWDER 1, and Air Gear 5. I love my job.



My Japanese manga collection has amassed over 200 volumes as of today, now counting 202. I'm kind of proud in a geeky way.



And for the hell of it my English manga collection that I'm trying to get rid of.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
