wth DO YOU MEAN 2 WEEKS?? šŸ˜°I DONT EVEN HAVE THAT MUCH AND IVE BEEN COLLECTING FOR OVER 5 YEARS https://preview.redd.it/e2cj5yvza1wc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94b515f916f78144abdbe34d5f59ccfe293f22ea


yugipotato

On a srs note tho good on you for being able to afford it and the collection does look really nice šŸ‘Œ


This_Jump236

Thank you!


overpoweredginger

If they're referencing the Amazon sale I think they are, it's not as expensive as it looks I got two one piece boxes & the MHA box for ~$260 total, and while a bunch of this stuff wasn't on the buy-two-get-one deal there were still a shitton of box sets at 50% off or so


Camo_Rebel

Fuck me and my poor man's soul. Mu jaw dropped. Lol

In 2 weeks is ABSURD https://preview.redd.it/b3pnqg9gn1wc1.jpeg?width=194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80635d8feaa0f1344fb22e889648a3cde7673453

Bro is making me feel poor.


bigmankerm

Bro made himself poor


rodot2005

Ah shit here we go again, why is it always two weeks


This_Jump236

Wanna see my Amazon delivered list šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


rodot2005

I don't know if you got dai dark just because it was in the box set, but if you enjoy it, I can't recommend dorohedoro enough. It's by the same author and completed


Its_Me_Guyz

Haven't read Dai Dark but 1000000% agree dorohedoro is a crazy good ride all the way through


This_Jump236

Iā€™m a huge horror movie guy so anything remotely dark or along those lines Iā€™m def gonna pick up.. After reading about hellsing, thatā€™s the next series I plan on picking up once I read a big chunk of what I have now


rodot2005

Dorohedoro is kind of dark. I also recommend trying oshimi's manga like blood on trucks or flowers of evil. It's not a horror, but it has darker themes. It's kind of annoying that there aren't many horror manga in English besides junji ito. I have also heard good things about ptsd radio


Slavstic

sometimes i feel bad when I buy more manga despite still having plenty unread at home, and then this sub never fails to make me feel better seriously tho if you got the money it's your business, have fun reading them


SpellOpening7852

I've been trying to not buy more this month, because some new unreads from January are still piling up, and then I go and buy a whole series (two volumes tbf - Hatsune Miku Future Deliveries) anyway. And read it in one day over the books waiting for 4 months.


Conservative_Otaku

Broā€¦ Your crazy but I like it haha. Enjoy! I wish I could be reading all these for the first time again!


Yoshoku

Is manga becoming the new video game collecting for people who have money to burn?


This_Jump236

I have a full on retro video game room too, video game prices have gotten sooo insane plus I have most of what I want


ssYxji

That's amazing dude enjoy it


Tiny_Writer5661

My mom tells me I spend too much money on manga. I gotta let her see half of these posts on here. Itā€™ll blow her mindšŸ˜‚


hrynn

It looks like a lot more than it actually is because the box sets are displayed but the books are on the shelves. Probably should reevaluate your spending habits if you are buying that much in two weeks. I also don't know why you reposted this since you made a similar post recently that I remember seeing. Looks like you deleted it.... It's your money though so as long as you're happy and have the funds, you do you.


This_Jump236

I did delete it, I honestly forgot I had a huge order in the mail and decided to just start fresh with the posting lol.. Itā€™s not like Iā€™m spending this kind of money every 2 weeks, last time I spent any of my disposable income was maybe 6 months ago


Fit_Method_5836

Bro why would you buy so much, prioritizing reading not buying.


pancakebearr

But if they did that, they wouldnā€™t get the same dopamine hit. OP is allll about that dopamine hit.


This_Jump236

I get it but I figured you never know when they wouldnā€™t be on sale anymore, instead of buying slowly over the course of a year or 2 Iā€™ll just take a hit to the wallet right now


iREFLEXIV

Majority of the series you got have 0 risk of never being on sale anymore


creampiebuni

You brought multiple series that are not at risk of going out of print and regularly go on sale.. Dude, just focus on reading, this feels like you went out and brought everything popular just to flex having a collection, which is pretty meaningless if you havenā€™t read/have no idea if you will even like them.


This_Jump236

For real? Are they always on sale?


Sweetener9709

You do have mostly super popular series that will always be in print. There will be future sales on these. Probably even better sales before you are caught up on your reading. This is something I definitely learned the hard way. Haha but anyways, welcome to manga! I hope it becomes a lifetime hobby. :)


This_Jump236

So far I feel like itā€™s def gonna become a lifetime hobby.. Are there any romantic comedy manga you recommend?


Sweetener9709

Sadly, that's not a genre I'm super familiar with. But I'd love to get into! I can recommend Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, Toradora!, Komi can't communicate, and Sweat and Soap.


This_Jump236

I have the sweat and soap box set with # 2 on the way.. I used to play ranma 1/2 on Super Nintendo when I was a kid and had no idea it had a manga so Iā€™ll def look into that! Thanks again!!


overpoweredginger

I'm having a great time with *We Never Learn*; cheesy but it's got a good heart EDIT: Also this isn't a rom-com but buy as many volumes of Akane-Banashi as you can (same with Green Green Greens when those paperbacks come out)


Camo_Rebel

Do you want sweet romance, supernatural, or toxic? It just depends on your cup of tea. I recommend works by Rei Toma for sure.


Willow_Hearts

My dress-up darling, Komi can't communicate, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Horimiya, We never learn, My love story!!, Kubo won't let me be invisible, My teenage rom-com snafu, Quintessential quintuplets, The world God only knows. Some of the Romance/Romantic comedy/Slice of life mangas I've enjoyed.


GoNoMu

Why?


Righteou5Dude

Why wouldnā€™t you want to prioritize reading over buying unless theyā€™re just decorative for you or going out of print?


This_Jump236

I didnā€™t know that they are normally on sale, Iā€™ve been reading at home and at work when I have downtime.. Iā€™m obviously new to this shit..


Righteou5Dude

I was not really tryna come at you op more so at the dude I replied to


PotentialEasy2086

2 weeks is cool and allā€¦ but to have other hobbies and still be able to have space for 2 book shelves is more impressive


This_Jump236

I have a fully filled retro video game room, games, tube tv and arcades.. A theater room with a 1000 plus Blu-ray collectionā€¦ I canā€™t get into anything else or Iā€™ll be completely out of room šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


EstateOtherwise4671

Those stack of bleach boxes look sick


Then_Replacement_123

Might be a couple unhaulsā€¦


This_Jump236

Well there was definitely one unhaul, my wallet šŸ˜‚


Pain4444

Nice collection, that feeling you could miss your chance in obtaining is understandable.


HiImPM

Donā€™t often see a collection thatā€™s basically all box sets, that pretty cool


pichukirby

Even with the Amazon sales, that's gotta be at least $1000. I hope you don't plan to continue at this rate... (unless you're loaded). Either way, enjoy


This_Jump236

Yup thatā€™s about right, and hell no Iā€™m def not continuing at this rate lol


Civil_Banana_2403

Ah yes another post of someone buying every box set on Amazon lol


This_Jump236

Yup! lol.. I work a lot so it was an easy option


slom26

I did the same thing when I started and still catching up almost a year later ha. I think itā€™s freaking awesome.


Smitty73714

Box set stonks šŸ“ˆ


viceveryvice

What if you donā€™t like these other series?


This_Jump236

Iā€™ve read the synopsis on everything I bought so Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™ll be good, but if not itā€™s no biggie.. I have a giant movie collection and donā€™t like every single movie


BlueGh0sty

I've been collecting for ten years and your collection is close to mine šŸ˜‚ bet your mail carrier is fed up lmao


This_Jump236

Amazon lockers are a thing of beauty lol


BlueGh0sty

Shoot I wish we had some of those around here. Love my mail lady but if it's raining she'll ram three omnibuses in our little mail box LMAO


No_Drag8692

Realistically it would be logical to split the collection with me so that yea


crujiente69

Thats too much juice Glenn


DerWonk

If you like Chainsaw Man, I def recommend Fujimoto's previous series, Fire Punch. If you like Ouran Host Club, check out Yana Toboso's Black Butler, it's darker, but it's got more of the comedy you probably like in Ouran. If you're a fan of the big shonen series like Dragon Ball and Bleach, One Piece, Demon Slayer, etc., definitely definitely check out Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter, one of my favorite series ever. Might never finish, but what we got is great. Couple other series I recommend are Witch Hat Atelier and Kowloon Generic Romance, super pretty art in both and they have fun stories with more to them than you might first think, and they're a nice palette cleanser after reading some shonen/seinen material. Happy collecting!


This_Jump236

Thanks for all the recommendations!!!


ThatBoyBaz

Slow down dude, itā€™s not a race!!! Anything like that can easily turn into an addiction if you donā€™t control it so slow down!


CHIart96

Lolol. I wonā€™t knock ya like a lot of people probably will. Definitely a bit overboard but I completely understand wanting to take of a good sale. For your information going forward, box sets are almost always in stock, now that printing has caught back up, and theyā€™re almost always on sale too through Amazon. The box sets are also typically the hardest to make your money back on if you decided you didnā€™t like the series because of the fact that theyā€™re almost always on sale. Rightstuf used to run great sales on non box set series but now itā€™s kind of a toss up since Crunchyroll took over. Amazon runs sales on these books but itā€™s just not as great as the old publisher sales.. especially with the recent increase in prices. Hope that info helps you out a bit. Enjoy the new series and the new hobby!! šŸ¤™šŸ»


Nayuleska

That should keep you occupied for a little while at least. Full sets are pretty to look at even when not actively being being read. Enjoy!


Capable_Owl

Bro just casually dropped over a months rent on picture books I'd do the same if I could


This_Jump236

I work a ton and bought my house years ago for a crazy price which is why I have a decent amount of disposable income, if I was rent a place for a grand a month I woulda been able to buy like maybe 2 volumes and a soda šŸ˜‚


Remarkable_Trash2466

Imma call BS, this is a circlejerk post and/or fake.


This_Jump236

I have my Amazon delivery list available if you want homie.. Not that itā€™s a flex on how fast I acquired all this, more on how excited I am to get into something new that I like and how I go off the deep end and on shit


Low-Region277

Damn sadly Iā€™m only one week in, but this is insane https://preview.redd.it/irbzcuycx1wc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9a167f34b64dc85176cb36abe79845ada292b6


This_Jump236

That setup is dope!! If youā€™re joking or not I love everything about it.


Remarkable_Trash2466

So are you posting this to show off your collection, or flex your amazon shopping addiction?


This_Jump236

I only do my flexing in the gymšŸ’Ŗ


FlatEntertainment866

Boxsets galore šŸ˜³šŸ‘ The silent voice boxset is another one you can pick up


This_Jump236

I have that on my Amazon list, thanks for the recommendation!!


GoNoMu

Itā€™s wonderful! The movie is also one of my favourites


Righteou5Dude

Why didnā€™t you buy the next few books in csm if you liked it so much p2 is good af


This_Jump236

Iā€™m getting there, went box set crazy obviously


755nbo

Very nice collection. Insane for two weeks but if you can afford it why not lol


AbbotThoth

lol damn dude, trying to prevent a recession all on your own? Looks good though *thumbs up*


Acceptable_Flow_1359

You should add berserk deluxe editions to that collection. Best Manga ever made imo


This_Jump236

I know I know I keep looking at em on Amazon, there priced pretty damn low but after my last order came in I told myself no more for the foreseeable future


Acceptable_Flow_1359

That's a shame missing out. But to be fair it's probably a good thing because berserk sets the bar really high lol


aVirtuoso

If itā€™s okay to ask How much did you invest to collect all of these volumes Thanks in advance Hope you enjoy your collection ā¤ļø


This_Jump236

So I ordered most from Amazon and a few things from the Crunchyroll store, I took the time to add everything up since I was curious as well.. The total was $1521.36


Crazyripps

You rich or something


DigiPlush13

Thank God I got a venmo now to save up money to buy more manga and a better bookself.


Mr_Kaniowski

Holy fuck.


Its_Me_Guyz

While you're buying box sets buy the Akira Anniversary edition


This_Jump236

Eventually lol


Danny_509

Iā€™m currently on volume 15 of Promised Neverland and itā€™s pretty good. Iā€™d recommend reading the first 2 volumes of a manga online before dropping money on an entire series.

Dimitri-eggroll

Bro are you okay? After looking at your profile and seeing your obsession Iā€™m thinking youā€™re having a manic episode, I have them too and Iā€™ve done exactly this, not to this extent, but Iā€™ve does this with shoes, games,clothes Iā€™d spend my whole check in 2 days and barely remember it


This_Jump236

Iā€™m good lol, I put a certain amount of money away every time I get paid for my hobbies, fun money I guess you could call it.. Havenā€™t spent any of it in probably 6 months plus I work a lot of overtime.. I looked into and read about each of these sets before I bought them to make sure they sounded interesting to me.. I bought a lot but I was able to afford it and this is it for a very long time, itā€™s not like I planned on buying this much every few weeks.. If I woulda said this is my collection after a year people wouldnā€™t (or probably wouldnā€™t) say a thing.. Iā€™ve spend more money at one time on my game room and was completely fine lol


Dimitri-eggroll

Well itā€™s good youā€™re alright but itā€™s just so mind bending to me to use that disposable income like that. I come from a childhood where it was nothing to eat sometimes. Even if you had $10000000 I could not imagine spending that much at once on something thatā€™ll take years Like for example, idk why you donā€™t buy less at a time and actually read them as you go, what if you hate a series? What if something happened and you lost your job, etc etc I just canā€™t get over it lol


This_Jump236

I completely get where youā€™re coming from, all this was under 2k and I have friends thatā€™ll spend that on car parts which to me is crazy so I understand.. I just decided to go for it, buy a lot at once and be done until I read through everything.. Then start adding volumes as I go, more like a normal collector if you will lol


Dimitri-eggroll

Waitā€¦.2k? I was thinking a lot more And yeah Iā€™ve seen my homies drop 3k on a Turbo, for some reason the price was way out of proportion in my brain than what you actually spent


Lelecosplay05

Whaaatttt

I dont see a single Berserk Manga. Youve failed

Hell yeah hellsings great too, have fun reading!!

That's my goal šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Iā€™ve only skimmed through em but there full color so Iā€™m def excited to check em out


RyviusRan

Nice small collection. Keep it up!


This_Jump236

Thanks!


Youko_empty

Very nice collection, but why did you take them out of the box? You'll run out of room lol


This_Jump236

I donā€™t plan on buying anymore until I get through reading most of what I already bought


Youko_empty

Haha, you got a few months of reading. I hope you like promised neverland it's one of my favorites.


Youko_empty

Get claymore next lol


Right_Marzipan771

"Little" "Two weeks" Oh screw you man

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


This_Jump236

I respect your opinion but what does the size of either of our collections matterā€¦ I could have 1 volume or 1000, doesnā€™t change the fact that I am enjoying reading manga..


Square_Possibility36

boxset demon


Boxman__37

Here comes the hate comments, looks good tho man keep grinding


Boxman__37

People that are pressed about him buying all at once instead of ā€œprioritizing reading them allā€ must read slow asf, yeah it might take a little bit but you can read all that fairly quickly.


ElmoDeFrog3000

Im a couple days into this and now im picking up all volumes of bleach for $300 šŸ˜­ Once you start there is no going back...


Riamu115

Itā€™s honestly great and all you can spend that on your hobbies, but my guy, this is like 3-5k worth of manga in 2 weeks. As much as I love manga, I could think of so many other things I could do with that kind of money over a longer period of time even, all while slowly growing my collection. Itā€™s kinda reckless and a very slippery slope to fall down in terms of spending addiction. You can afford hobbies, but you also gotta afford to live too lol


This_Jump236

I didnā€™t spend anywhere near that lol, it was approximately $1325


Riamu115

Ah, I see that most of these are box sets and were probably on sale. But still dude thatā€™s a painful amount šŸ˜­


This_Jump236

They were all almost half off retail which is why I went ape shit lol.. And yea it def wasnā€™t a small amount of $$, but Iā€™ve been working mandatory overtime every weekend for the past 3 years so why not splurge once in a while


ExaggerattedReality

Hey friend, absolutely amazing. Welcome to the collecting world. I can't wait to find out what your favorites are!


This_Jump236

Thank you so much!


darryledw

if this is serious you have made me feel so much better, I started watching anime in December and I have bought about 1/10 of what you have here...and I thought I was going overboard haha then again some of the figurines I got were so expensive because they are out of production :( awesome collection though!


-CLRK-

Awesome ! Iā€™m new to the hobby of manga collecting too - do what ever makes you happy āœŒšŸ½


shouv9

Iā€™m just seeing banger after banger, really great collection! ( what shelfā€™s do you use? )


Camo_Rebel

You know this jealousy I feel is stupid. Congrats and welcome to the collecting game. Lol Edit: What kind of stuff are looking to get into? Super curious.

Bruh this in 2 wks is insane

Consumerism at its worst. Get a personality dude.


This_Jump236

How much does that cost?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


This_Jump236

Thatā€™s exactly what I planned on doing lol, people get way too critical of others.. I make good money, own my own home, no kids so why is it such a shock that someone drops some decent coin on a new venture lol.. Meanwhile they can go pay 30k for a new car and not bat an eye lol


Alarming_Guest2248

I love this hahaha donā€™t let the discouragement get to you! Iā€™m pretty sure most of us have been here at one point in our manga journeys (guilty as charged lol) idk why people get so pressed about it, itā€™s your money and if youā€™re able to and happy to send your money like that then go for it as T Swiftie says haters gonna hate šŸ˜‚ also keep an eye out for manga on second hand sites sometimes youā€™ll be able to find some really good deals on basically brand new manga!


This_Jump236

Thanks! I get the hate since Iā€™m new to the hobby but I work my ass off and wanted to build a decent collection to have access to and enjoy for the next few months/years lol.. I work a stupid amount of ot so I had the money to put all this together.. I posted on here not to flex but to link up with like minded people since none of my friends are into anime/manga.. I figured Reddit would be a good place to learn and have some conversation about my new hobby


Alarming_Guest2248

yeah, none of my friends are into it either, any other series that youā€™re thinking of getting/interested in? and honestly i went ott when i first started collecting manga and figures half of which I donā€™t own anymore šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ itā€™s a learning experience


This_Jump236

Alice in borderland, beserk and hellsing


Alarming_Guest2248

nice, I really enjoyed the Alice in borderland live action show, I havenā€™t read beserk or hellsing tho im more into romance šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Eclipsura

Idk why people in the comments are so obsessed with what you spend your money on. If you like the hobby that much then I see no reason why not to spend a pretty penny if you have the funds. Nice collection, Iā€™d recommend claymore boxset.


Seamen-Thrower

ā€œA little overboardā€. Im pretty sure this is more than a little overboard. Im not hating tho, Im a couple weeks into manga and I already have the deathnote box set, tokyo ghoul box set, Akira box set, 1-3 omnibuses of PTSD radio, and have recently finished tekkonkinkreet (and volume 1 of PTSD radio). Im honestly gonna hold off for now from buying more (looking at Tokyo ghoul RE specifically) since Ive spend quite a bit already (big amazon discounts have been great). The mindset that I have tho is dangerous for my wallet. ā€œIā€™ll buy a ton now so I can read later, it doesnā€™t matter how much I spend now since Iā€™ll just read/buy it eventuallyā€. Overall, Looks great!


strawhatbailey

2 weeks to collect all this is CRAZY WORK
