Well, no intro nor outro partially because I don't edit or anything, but I also do like to just get straight to the point rather than milking it out

Kymmru how much did all that cost

@@Jet.N he doesn't know he has been collecting for years

same

And no wasting time to get a 10minute video

Yeah me too man

I deadass gasped so loud

I’m glad my Vagabond Vizbigs aren’t like that so far. I have 1-5 currently

Love the manga, love the anime. Just come back already Togashi!! This current arc could easily become my favorite one. I just want my 10 more chapters, dammit

YES! I CAME!

@Kymmru you got my attention

Yes

Thank you! I appreciate it

Yeah, over a decade it adds up

@RipMudafuka69 MLG 10 times 1250 is 12500 $ ah yes my monthly allowance of *12500*

@RipMudafuka69 MLG Canadian tears at how much books cost here

@@konankid2340 well, yes, but american money is worth more. Anyways, I did the base math, as a Canadian. Here, manga are usually around $12 CAD, so at the very minimum, from the base line the creator of the video gave of 1250 manga, let's say it's 12 × 1250. That's equivalent to *$15,000 CAD. If I were to convert it, that would be roughly $11,000 USD.* I have a few dozen manga, and it does add up, but wow.

@quinogamer haha I felt that, at least we have steam

Mine Blown and that didn’t age well

I forgot I mentioned that. Oof. Well I guess it's not that much further away at this point though

It’s coming out in about half a month anyway, though the Re:Zero anime still has a Long Long way to go before it’s done, even the web novel is just over half way complete and it’s on it’s 463rd ridiculously long chapter

I guess now is as good as time as any to try and start my cult

BladeCast you guys do know that otaku is worser than being a weeb right? weeb is just people who like anime ffs

@@ctrlzme.6448 im pretty sure a weeb is a non-japanese person with an obsession of japan. and an otaku is anyone who enjoys watching anime/reading manga/playing video games. or at least those are the original definitions. meaning tends to change as slang grows in popularity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you!

You can see his bed

@@ctrlzme.6448 He's still spending money , it's not like it's free (but the cost should be a lot less if it was so)

Omit he would’ve already be spending money to get books for his bookstore lol

sorry to disappoint, but no bookstore haha

*Agreed*

i hated it

It really is. I've actually only watched the anime (oopsie), but Yona had some of the absolute best character development and progression I've seen. Not only that, but I remember absolutely loving the dynamic between Hak and Yona, and I absolutely love how Su-Won is seemingly the primary antagonist, but as the series progresses (at least to where i got)his actions can seem somewhat justified. Man, after talking about it I may just have to finally pick up the books and get past where the anime left off

ehhh, I don't really like reading manga through a screen though. plus it doesn't have that same feel

@@Kymmru well I wish I could buy manga but they aren't sold in my country And they're pretty expensive online (+ taxes as well)

@@Kymmru yeah it really hurts the eyes when on screen

@@Kymmru Yea reading the physical copy definitely feel much nicer

Well, I promise I don't manhandle them haha. Maybe in recent time Viz has gotten better? Or maybe I just have terrible luck? Either way I'm glad you don't have to fork out a ridiculous amount of money all things considered just to get a volume that doesn't fall apart.

@@Kymmru it’s been a year I think it’s time for an update

Such a great story man

I feel like I'm just unlucky, but yeah I'd still recommend reading vizbigs with extra caution

Same with my Naruto Volume 16

I got 1-5 and they are in perfect condition. He might’ve gotten unlucky

Ehhhh, I'm not allll that bothered by it. I definitely think as of now the Billy Bookcases from IKEA is the best we can get.

That seems to be a slight trend based on the comments haha

@@Kymmru u like it tho? Best part is 7 btw u should read it

I have a big list but some of them include 20th Century Boys Berserk Hunter x Hunter Vagabond Monster One Piece Kaguya-sama: Love is War Attack on Titan Domestic Girlfriend Blue Spring Ride That list isn't really in any particular order but when I was thinking of favorite those are some series that come to mind.

@@Kymmru good taste 😌 people will say some of those titles were overrated... but they are overrated for a reason!

@@boshvasara1868 Thank you! and I agree. I would also add Goodnight Punpun onto that list cause I recently read that and oh man what an experience.

Kymmru first time i see a list with kaguya sama. You’ve got my respect dude

Kymmru Man, I’ve read only four of those, but they are definitely among my all time favorites, so I’ll catch up on the rest as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for sharing this list!

As long as they release the volumes in english, I will keep picking it up

@@Kymmru right now the part 4 official English manga is being released!

@@professoryeetus8955 yes it is that'd why I am collecting it

I mean, yeah. I don't read or speak Japanese, but you don't have to in order to see some glaring issues with Dark Horse's release. www.skullknight.net/images/gambino-print.jpg I mean that is a pinnacle example of it. Dark Horse, a multimillion-dollar company failed to scan pages of comics correctly. And when they released it in a "deluxe" edition they leave the same glaring issues. A company as big as Dark Horse shouldn't be fucking up that bad where you lose that much detail in panels, it's laughable. And there are other issues too, like this: imgur.com/le8ZnWj Dark Horse implementing one of the worst ways I have ever seen a manga company translate SFXs- covering up Miura's art with giant boxes like that. And again when they had a chance to fix it in a "deluxe" edition they just leave it as is. And then when it comes to the translation, yeah some things haven't aged the best. I mean Band of the Hawk was always supposed to be Band of the Falcon. Griffith has always been symbolised as a Falcon, but the translation always leaned to Hawk. And then halfway through the series they start cherry-picking which stuff to translate to falcon, and which to hawk. I mean at the start of the 4th arc they were translating the title to Hawk of the Millenium Empire, and then after a few chapters, they started to translate it to Falcon of the Millenium Empire, leaving the inconsistencies in the manga. And then there are little things like leaving beherit in as " behelit." It's just the tiny things that add up over time and make me realize if they did even a little bit of research or cared a lot of my grievances wouldn't exist. Mind you though I don't think the translations are neccessarily bad, but almost every single "deluxe" edition in recent time has done updated translations but Dark Horse chooses the easy way out of throwing the pdfs of the series they already have into bigger format.

Kymmru I completely agree with you, berserk is my favorite series and while it doesn’t kill the story or anything and luckily they leave the art as is, it’s like hawk or falcon just pick one and stick to it it’s not that hard. I know it’s wrong and for the english audience but at least zoro is zolo the whole time in the english manga of one piece but yeah for such a great series berserk deserves better. Also thanks for the info because I own the whole berserk series too and I was about to pick up the deluxe’s.

@@jasonrinaldi1670 I don't own Berserk so I am collecting the deluxe editions. Plus, they are fairly nice in quality.

@Midgetwithahacksaw good idea, I heard that miura’s preferred format for his manga is 8x10 so I think that’s the way to go but I already owned the series when the deluxe’s came out

@@jasonrinaldi1670 well, to be fair, all those issues exist in the singles too. In the end the deluxe edition is still a gorgeous hardcover and the two-page spreads have never looked better.

I went ahead and put it on my wishlist, no promises I will check it out though. Although given its only two volumes so I may be inclined to just buy them in next months haul and get around to it eventually.

@Kymmru no worries, hopefully you’ll enjoy it

I haven't kept track. I know it adds up, but I've been collecting for nearly a decade now

I have a collection of about 50 books which costed me about 400 quid. So if I just use my stash as an example then it’d be 25 x 400= 10,000. All in all he’s probably spent about 10 grand on it, could be higher or lower, take my estimation with a pinch of salt. (Might I also add I calculated it in pound Sterling , and as I’ve recent found out manga is slightly cheap in the uk).

Kunio Saiki i have a collection of 120 volumes and it costed 85e

Wiley_79 I have no idea what 85e is, what currency is that?

Kunio Saiki oh sorry that's how we talk in finland, umm i meant €

I've been collecting for over 5 years now, probably even closer to 10 in all honesty. Its okay if a collection starts out small, everyone's does, and it doesnt grow overnight. As long as your passion for anime and manga stays with you over the years I'm sure your collection will look like mine half a decade from now

My collection is One Piece 1-3 :/

@@yum396 it's a good start, One Piece is a great series! However, if you want to collect all of One Piece in the long run, I'd highly recommend saving up the money for the box sets. I know it can be a lot of money at once, but if you plan to collect it all eventually it will save you money in the long run. Plus you get some neat bonuses

Yep me too :)

You sir, have picked a good bookshelf. And thank you!

Yeah with the Deluxe Editions I really wished for a new translation, better scan quality, some color pages. I feel as though Dark Horse is going to release Volumes 12,13,14 in the Deluxe Editions as is with their absolutely terrible way of translating SFX with the SFX literally covering some of the art. Just thinking about it peeves me so much. They are still the definitive way to collect Berserk now though without a doubt. And yeah, I really realllllly don't understand why English publishers are sleeping on Kingdom. It's constantly one of the highest-selling manga in Japan and I constantly see so much interest from English fans.

Shoot, I get to spend more of my money on manga and light novels living with my parents than on my own. Rent and bills are expensive lol

@@Kymmru My parents think I'm some sort of creep for reading manga, it's better if I move out 😂

I haven't even read Kingdom yet cause I'm holding out on an English release. With how big it is, it really doesn't make sense why there's no English release yet.

Haha thank you! that's been my goal from the beginning of the collection

I mean I am sure reading online would work for those people too, but hey to each their own

I think my top 5 manga always stays the same and I'd recommend to any and all readers. 1. 20th Century Boys 2. Berserk 3. Hunter x Hunter 4. Vagabond 5. Monster

Kymmru sorry this reply is late but hunter x Hunter is amazing as an anime and manga and I also can’t wait to get it. Can’t wait to get a collection like urs 1 day😄

@@lilzem I just can't wait for Togashi to release more chapters!! This current arc (I won't say much in case if you've only watched the anime) is so damn interesting! It has me so gripped and I count on 10 chapters a year at least and without it I feel like a junkie in a withdrawal lol

Kymmru I have almost caught up with the latest chapter. The arc doesn’t interest me that much to be honest however I am looking forward to see what happens next. Also recently I was reading AOT and I was so surprised at what Eren did so do u think it will end as a disaster for him? I am honestly so sad cause after all his hard work he just flushed it down the toilet as though it were 💩. It’s so sad!!!

@@lilzem Dang really!??? This has easily been my favorite arc in Hunter x Hunter history, it's just sad it has such a slow release. And I honestly feel AOT is going to end in tragedy of some sort at least. But I guess we will have to wait to find out

thank you

I meannnnnn, yeah. There are few exceptions where I think the anime exceeds the source material. Way too many anime cut out way too many scenes imo

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I remember the first vizbig that fell apart on me. I think it was volume 2 of Vagabond. I was in the middle of reading it and it just collapsed in my hands.

Honestly, I think current Attack on Titan is a modern masterpiece. Maybe the first little bit is slightly overrated but I think it was neccessary to build the story that Isayama has created

i dont really understand. what do you mean "even tho" ? it's true that a lot of crap is popular but, most of the time, it's because something is good that it's popular isnt it ?

Attack on titan only needs to land its ending to soldify its masterpice status

TG 125 6 chapters left, but I do think it will be a shocking, hopefully good finale. SPOILER👇🏻 I don’t care if everyone dies, I just want Levi to kill Zeke before it ends.

Thank you! I always prefer a faster pace collection video so I just took inspiration from that

That has definitely been a trend I have noticed

I absolutely loved it. When I first got it, I bought the first 3 volumes and read them nonstop. I bought the rest immediately after, but couldn't wait for them to come in so I stayed up till like 4am to read the rest online which I hate doing.

Spoilers for those who didn't read it Firstly, I was interested in the anime, cause it looked very different. But never watched it. Then I came across the manga and said "heck, I'm gonna read this". The first half (his childhood revolving in that town) was pretty weird to me, like I was asking myself "wtf am I reading?" but the drama and all those cliffhangers at the end of every chapter made me go on. It was then that the second half (moving out of the town, high school) really did it for me. If it wasn't for that 2nd half, I've have considered that manga trash, but I'm so glad I kept reading it. That ending is sooo good.

I have IKEA Billy Bookcases. Highly recommend. They are nice, expandable up to I think 6 or 7 shelves, are deep enough to double stack. Sturdy. I feel they are the best bookcases for collections. The other cheaper ones are cheap for a reason, everything else seems too expensive.

Yes! I actually tend to watch more anime than I read manga. I collect more manga than anime though. Usually, for me, it goes something like this 1. Watch a good anime 2. Find out its source material is a manga or a light novel 3. Collect that source material 4. No source material? Collect the anime 5. The anime improves upon the manga? (which i find to be exceedingly rare), collect the anime for it as well. I always hope anime get perfect adaptation (i.e. Kimetsu no Yaiba) because anime just ends up being more accessible and will usually bring a series to the popularity it deserves, or let the series die if it's done poorly.

I have yet to read Junji Ito's version of it, but I'm sure its great

I've read quite a lot of them, but I still have a lot more to go

Yeah, I can get that, but thats just my style. If you have any specific questions I'll be happy to try and respond though

haha thank you

I started to collect manga I believe 8 years ago? I started with Naruto 3in1s because that was nearly about the only anime I watched and I loved it, afterwards came Death Note 2in1s and everything came trickling in from there. Personally speaking I wouldn't recommend collecting Japanese volumes unless if you can read them just because unlike a lot of other collecting hobbies, manga typically doesn't grow in value although theres always exceptions. Then again that's just my opinion and you can do whatever you wish

I opened that big ass book like that cause it already broke on me while I was treating it gently lol

@@Kymmru I understand. I just looked like you casually yeheeted it open like that. But it is wierd they break on ypu like that. I have 13 vizbigs and they are all great. Never heard of others that had that problem, at least to that exctent.

@@Yunhotrash Yeah, it sucks man. I just got 6 more VIzbigs yesterday and 2 of the 6 already tore at the spine. I was trying to replace 3 Vagabond volumes and 3 ruruoni kenshin volumes and 2 of the Kenshin volumes glue already separated from the spine almost like that Vagabond volume. Sigh, hopefully after i get these last two kenshin volumes replaced I don't have to bother with vizbigs for a long while cause this has been a terrible experience for me thus far.

@@Kymmru damm I feel for you man. That sucks

Welll, I never really had an issue with that. I'd just let him know how much you love manga

Here's a tip from me: I personally never asked for permission - I bought mangas with my pocket money and put them in my desk drawer and later on a shelf. It took them a few years to find out that I had some mangas. Then I said I had gotten it from my friends over the years ;D

Just tell him reading is educational unless he knows what manga really is 😂😂

@@Kymmru he knows!!

Get a job and but it with your own money :)

It's been nearly a decade like I believe it's been 8 years? I collected before I got a job with the small amount of allowance I got and then I wanted to get a job specifically to collect more manga. And it's all right, everyone's tastes change and grow

@@Kymmru hi, i'm planning to start collecting manga, how do you recommend me ti start, collecting severa volumes of one particular series or a few volumes of multiple series?. Thank you in advance

Thank you! And yeah one of my biggest peeves in manga collection videos are people going off-topic and taking forever to get to the point. I try to cut out all the BS and let the comments be the place to talk about series.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

thank you!

I've been loving Rent-A-Girlfriend so much. I absolutely despised it at first, I actually dropped it which I almost never ever drop series. But then the anime came out and I gave it another chance and I fell in love and caught up to the manga within a couple of days.

Never read the manga, don't plan to. But I absolutely adore the anime and I own the way overpriced blu-rays. And I might at some point. I'm just not all that into video making. I plan to make more collection videos just so i can personally see how my collection grows.

I definitely plan to at some point.

Thank you!

I'll definitely keep that in mind, thank you! I plan to do an update eventually. With a lot of comments like yours it really gives me the motivation to at least give it a shot, if only to discuss my hobby with a bunch of other people with the same hobby

I'm really glad to hear it! It was insane reading it weekly for that last stretch of publication lol. So many people were upset during that time

I really wish one of his latest series, Billy Bat, would get translated in the west. I'd love to pick it up

thank you!

Lol I know. I don't get why so many people take their time on manga vids. I just want to the COLLECTION, not the opinions. haha. I feel nearly alone in that

Like 7ish years ago, I was watching collection videos and thinking the exact same thing. As long as you continue to enjoy collecting and reading manga it starts adding up over time
