Another benefit: No paper cuts! 😂 But seriously, I'm a physical person too, but I've been enjoying digital manga quite a bit lately. I've got a real storage space crisis going on, so that's no small part of it, but it's just nice and convenient.
been reading entire series via libby for years now. it's super legit! not to mention SJ (and other digital apps for entire libraries). great video topic to get the word out there!
I've always struggled adjusting to the digital manga world. I recently was introduced through a Viz Media free trial, as well as purchasing all 34 volumes of Attack on Titan, (& the 17 volumes of its prequel series "Before the Fall.") There are certainly perks digitally, like being able to auto save your spot or enlarging to see details/small text easier! (I'm still on team physical though lol!) 🤣
@@taylora8845 Me too 100% 😆 I do like being able to (legally) read out of print series that I can’t find anywhere physically though! I also love supporting my library 💖
Collecting physical media has always been a bit irrational, and as the late Charlie Munger said "we have a moral reaponsibility to be rational." But yeah the mindset shift is inevitable since if space gets scarce enough the physical media may actually have negative utility and one could pay not to take in any more, after all isn't that what people paying for public storage is? Manga are less bad than the other physical medias IMO but the problem with books is they are very slowly burning and this can be slowed but never stopped.
Sometimes I’ll buy a book in both physical and digital if I really like it, so I can always keep it with me on my phone but also have it on my shelf. But most of the time I only buy physical.
I read the Web Novel of Arifureta -- liked it so much I bought all of the Light Novels. And _then_ found out that the printed font was printed much too small/light for me. (Wanted a different, heavier, blacker font.) So I then pirated (!) and read the EPUBs. Oops. But I *STILL* like and want physical books.
@@aeio_ Sometimes pirating is the only way, but if I can find it on the Kindle or iBook stores, it’s just easier to click a buy button and have it instantly added to my library.
First I thought you gave up on physical manga, but then you made sure (with a really angry frown-- >>>:[[[[) I realised you didn't gave up. Got a collection mix here aswell of physical and digital, but lack of space is making sure I can't expand the way I want to; and it's a good thing for me. :D
@@PaisenNoticedYou Sure, but I dislike what publishers do in general, think about drama shows, it's near impossible to see everything interesting because content is spread out over netflix-amazon-disney-hulu-whatever, everyone is competing for your subscription and it sucks :( - I haven't seen the 2 apps you mentioned later on in the vid but VIZ and SJ will obviously only have their own catalogue.
I've been reading digital for 2 years now and now reading on a modded Fire Max 11 and one of those nice cases that has the swivel so you can stand it both vertical and horizontal and it's reader's paradise fr. Can't front at all. I was stupid for being opposed for so long. I just needed the right setup. Even my Warhammer 40000 books look amazing on a proper tablet with good sharpness and DPI.
@@IceMarbles Same! I can’t do digital manga on my phone, but it’s amazing on my iPad with apps that are reliable. I can’t believe I was against it for so long.
I'm almost exclusively digital - never really got into collecting though. Digital is so much cheaper and so much easier to explore/read samples for new manga/etc.

Pro-Physical Media ☝🏻❤️
I'm the same as you. Like I do enjoy reading digital manga and light novels but, in my heart I'm mainly a physical manga and light novel collector 😃

@@EPS5000 That’s a pretty good way to do it! Thanks for watching :)

@@evsieyou Yeah, I’ll never give up on physical manga :) But it’s like why reject another way of reading manga instead of giving it a chance~

@@ohiotaku Totally! I can’t believe it took me so long to try out more digital platforms.
Good discussion
@@YusukeKnight Thank you so much 😊
@ no problem 😌
