WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Gahhh I just realized that the kids in kindergarten when I was a sr in HS have now graduated... I feel so old lol

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Just turned 40 this year and I have 2 kids in high school. So I feel you.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

Wow I feel young

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Only because you are 😁

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

Ehh I guess

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

This chat has been dead for so long lol

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I guess you’re in your early twenties. Though I have no actual idea.

We have a solid amount of members but yeah it’s not the most active. I tend to gravitate to where the conversation is. I try to keep up on the monthly manga and poke into active chats though.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

Nah I'm wayy younger, still HS age lol

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

If I was that old I would start collecting my own manga instead of borrowinggg

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Welp I was wrong. Collecting things is a bad habit. But sadly it is also a kind of addiction. A nice looking full bookshelf turns into a disorganized mess and boxes of manga in a basement too quickly. Not that that will ever stop me but I have slowed way down on physical collecting and gotten better on selling.

[Grace]

I've been borrowing for most of my manga life. Got into it in mid-late highschool, am now early 20s. Don't know about other countries but in Australia Manga is pretty expensive, even buying second hand is a lot. I have slowly been getting my own manga collection going though. Right now the only ones I own are Dragonball, Silent voice, Sakamoto Days, Alice in Borderland, Way of the househusband, Deadpool Samurai and am currently working on Monster and Zom 100. It's a very slow and expensive process that I do not have the money for lol. I've read hundreds more then what I own though, obviously lol.

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I went a little nuts in my early twenties and collected a couple hundred volumes or so. I fell off for awhile and sadly many series that I started are missing the last few volumes which are now Uber expensive in the secondary market. Examples being Battle Royale, Shaman King, GTO, and Rave Master would probably cost over $1,000 to finish the few volumes of each series I need. I have since repurchased those series digitally and contented myself with that.

I buy most of the manga humble bundles and go nuts on an occasional Comixology flash sale but other than the monthly manga I don’t buy much anymore and I will find “alternative” means if I know It’s something out of my wheelhouse. Like Sailor Moon this month.

I still buy a few light novel series physically such as Reincarnated as A Slime, No Game No Life, and recently Death Mage. The last physical manga series I actually finished collecting all the volumes for was Nisekoi.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

You ought to start reading more light novels Greg they're entertaining as hell(and there's some real gems️‍ present if you look long enough)

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

I saw a booktuber read The Ling Ling Goodbye of The Last Bookshop. Looks pretty good. I'm also trying to get Ascension of a Bookworm digitaly

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

Long Long Goodbye that should have been

I'm collecting about 10 Light Novel Series plus a bunch of one offs. Some digitally some physically. My favorite is Tensura though I also really enjoy Slayers, Goblin Slayer, No Game No Life, 86, Death Mage, and Rascal Doesn't Dream.

[Kang]

How good is goblin slayer?

[Anna]

Right now the only novel I have is Sugar Apple Fairytale. But I haven’t opened it yet, and don’t know when I will (not going to rush, because I have only 3 books out of 18). But I do have high hopes for it, since I loved anime and do want to know more about this world and fairies themselves. And I’m considering getting Attack on Titan novels

[Greg, Slime Knight]

I enjoy what I've read. It isn't quite as sexually explicit as the manga and anime if you have a problem with that sort of thing. I've collected a few volumes but have only read the first so far.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

Attack on Titan has novels?

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Yeah a few light novel spin offs.

[Dreamcatcher (HIATUS)]

How am I only hearing of this nowww wow

[Anna]

I saw it accidentally while searching how many volumes manga has (in case I do decide to collect). I just hope that wikipedia did provide a full list (even though it is supposed to be accurate, it still is written by living beings)

[Greg, Slime Knight]

Theyve had a Titan bundle on Humble a few times now. Pretty sweet deal while collection was like $30 for all books spin offs and novels. If not all than definitely most.

[Anna]

I don't use Humble, but thank you for telling

[Trinity.j_205]

Has anyone ever discovered a really good lesser-known manga series, and then you find that it is extremely difficult to find the other volumes?

[wordsbyjosie]

✨Um, hi! Has anybody read Mr. Villains day off? It looks pretty good, but i want to see if somebody here has read it. 📚✨
