    I’m collecting manga right now & I’m about 400 volumes deep so far with only about 10% read. I kinda started splurging on random series I thought was interesting without reading them yet. I wish I saw this before I went on my spending spree lol this was helpful! I’ll attempt to get back on my tbr schedule ❤

    I remember buying manga in the early 2000s (not in the US), I'd get a couple volumes for the month and read them probably 5 times each. It was a different connection. Sometimes less is more. Those are still some of my all time favorites, Rurouni Kenshin, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist...

    Good tips! I’m slowing down my collecting until I test read some on the Shonen Jump app and even anime can be a good idea to test out a story and see if you enjoy it enough to collect and read the manga. That’s how I got interested in reading Haikyu, I watched the anime first and really want to read it.

    You killed it Bo! I’m so glad you filmed and shared these tips because I think they are critical and important, especially with scooping out manga and not blind buying! Last year I got caught up blind buying and thankfully some of my favorite and most reread series came from that, but there were also ones I bought that I regretted spending money on. Excellent video!!!

    I can't say that I'm a newbie in collecting comic books (not only manga, also BD, local comics from Ukraine or even something else) and books (literature), but you just opened my eyes on few aspects, that really have been causing some struggles with reading all suff I already have on shelfs. I used to buy series in bulk, as you mentioned, but at the same time I was concentrated on amount and forgot just read them before buy more volumes. First tip in video is very valuable for people, who already started to collect their own library. For last year I spend more time to find information about story that looks like interesting to me, and sometimes it's cooler than just add it to endless wishlist and buy it without any idea what you will get in result. FOMO and compulsive desire to have EVERYTHING is a big problem not only for beginners😅

    I’m glad I found this because I just started manga collecting, and it is in fact addicting! I have some mangas I haven’t even read yet which is bad! 😂 I’m not too deep, but I’m restarting my collection, and this time I’m only collecting things I know I’m actually going to enjoy and not just choose something because the cover looks cool. Great vid man! 💪🏾🔥 Also I see you’re a One Piece fan. I’m currently on Zou about 4 months deep watching this show and IMO I think One Piece will definitely go down as the greatest anime ever story wise it’s perfect! I’m almost caught up man I’m trying so hopefully by the end of next month I’ll finally be caught up, and on the Egghead arc.

I bought into DONT Toy With Me etc because I liked the cover art have never picked one up to read have eight of those . Picked up hardcover Blade of the Immortal 4 vols now I don’t care about the rest of the series never read one totally lost interest . Osamu Tezuka just became to existentially depressing so I can’t read him anymore .

    Since I tend to buy at a random set of time, I tend to finish everything I have in time for my next splurging of money on manga.
    So I should be somewhere in the 70% read rate as some of these manga I own are of blind box mishaps, or of manga I got from the local box store that doesn’t have the first few volumes, thus I cannot start it physically… or I just refuse to keep collecting some of them(or reading them which is like 5%)

    • @Boknowsmanga
      @Boknowsmanga  9 месяцев назад

      70% is a respectable number, and considering the blind box manga that’s pretty good in my book.

    I will say, conversely to your last point, if you DON'T mind condition as much, please consider buying second hand! I have not paid more than $4 for any volume of bleach, and while lots of them have yellowing or library markings, they are in very readable condition. (and a hot tip for used-book buyers: a hairdryer is your best friend to remove stickers since you can melt the glue enough to peel them easily. Hairdryer + goo gone = virtually pristine books)
