Reading Manga's and collecting them as a hobby

[aphra_mary]

I used to start to collect Manga's, but when I realize that seldom are sold in our country. So I quit collecting and started reading online coz it's much more convenient.

i got really few, i would like expand my collection(if you can call it like that lol) with few cool mangas, but meh...they will get covered in dust somewhere, like all the stuff i get from ebay/amazon..

what country are you from? (i hope you dont mind me asking! im not a creep!)
i have quite a collection building up in my room, which is always over-run with books anyway. lol
i buy all my books in a store called forbidden planet, ever heard of it?
plus, a lot of book store, have a small manga section, unfortunately, volume one is hardly ever there! grr... lol

you can always buy online for much cheaper or borrow someone elses or use online manga-reading websites.

such a shame that theres only ever like two hours worth of reading in a manga book :( lol

such a shame that theres only ever like two hours worth of reading in a manga book :( lol

Couldn't agree more :P
And i'm from small country in Europe. We got nothing cool here, so i just get stuff from internet stores. Even tho my pay isn't anything huge i can still spare few bucks for some great stuff :D

I do read mangas online too, i can give you this link, but i think you already might have this favorited ^^

Collecting Manga is sooo expensive! Especially when you start collecting a series then you realize how much it sucks. but then you can't stop collecting it because you have already got ten of the books and it would be a waste to stop and now you have a shelf full of books you hate! >:I ...heh heh... uhhhggg...

[ebin-san]

i know~! lol but its so worth the money!! :)

[Darushi]

Very true!! I lurves me my manga! >:] I was collecting Vampire Knight and got up to volume 11 before I decided I didn't like it anymore and now I'm trying to find someone to sell them to! XD

[ebin-san]

aw! no way! i have all the books at home!
i love vampire knight!! O.O
and wait, 11 was the last book to come out lol
were waiting on book 12, so you couldnt have got the next one even if you had wanted

[Darushi]

erm... The 12th book came out June 7th and the 13th will be out sometime next month. Lol! I like the drawing style for Vampire Knight... but I hate Kaname! >:I Him and his gross hair! No offense if you like him! XD

[ebin-san]

oh no offence taken! i hat him too! lol
and yes, his hair looks all greasy. hes just a dick.
...such a dick!
ZERO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!! >.<

[ebin-san]

oh and thanks for the info... forbidden planet only has up to book 11... i wonder why they wont order the next two books? awell

[carolyn07]

i have wanted to collect manga ever since i was like 9 years old? and now im 21, still havent bought anything. hahahahaha! it's hard to find here in our country and besides, i can read it online for free. why waste the money? the real deal here is that, you have read it. right? =)

[ebin-san]

i guess so when you look at it that way... but i like having them. you know? plus, when youre this obsessed you tend not to think about the money youre spending lol!!

[ebin-san]

a wise friend once told me that anime/manga is an "anti-drug"
cuz when you waste all you money on it
who can afford to get grugs and alcohol? or spare the time for it? lol

very powerful words *nods* lol!!
