When you say you have a library at home, and you mean in literal.
his library probably has more books than the one at my school 💀

For real my school library is pretty small
This man has more manga than every Barnes and noble in my state
...combined.
combined
Probably more than every barns and noble is the United States
@@teamo8033 wrong
He has more manga than my local Barns & Nobles does 🤭😀
Same
he has A LOT more than mine lol!
my waterstones just has a tiny corner 🥲 i mean at least it has manga
i have more manga than my barnes and noble lol
I don't even have Barns & Nobels in my country
Huge respect for reading most of your manga.

😂🤣
isnt that the point
nothingmatters yes
@@nothingmatters298 maybe there are big fans of the spine of manga volumes out there
I'm more impressed he managed to read 90 percent of his collection.
Not really that hard if you're reading as you grow your collection. If you buy, just for an example's sake, 10 volumes a month, and you read 5 of them before buying the next ten, then you're sort of always on top of it. If you buy 500 manga and then try to read all of it you're in for a painful time.
Woah! collecting for 20yrs?!! --- We hail you as one of the Western MANGA LORDS! 👏👏👏👏👏😎
Yup yup
most awesome collection on youtube - absolute goals
Ayy what's up cass
Hello ytcass
Seriously, this dude not only have a massive manga collection he also has a massive comic omnibus collection. Each one costs more than 100$+. Can't even afford one without saving lol
Just packing up my collection to move and damn books are heavy…anyone would think they’re made of wood or something.
Wait are they comics manga or both, because manga are pretty light thanks to the paper quality unless you have the hardcovers where despite the paper wuality they are pretty heavy when packed in groups of 8 or more
I don’t know whether or not this is a joke or not but paper is made of wood.
@@youlooklikeagoodjoeyoulooklone yes, don’t worry, it was a joke. I’ll admit it wasn’t particularly funny though lol
@@user-it6qf1uy4t the Japanese manga in soft-cover paperbacks. Totally feel light as when you pick one up. Put 40 in a box and they become insanely heavy 🤣
@@youlooklikeagoodjoeyoulooklone that makes so much sense LMAOOO!!!!
This would make me feel bad if a fire burns most of the manga but thats just my anxiety speaking
first thought I had
Bro he better have insurance that covers all of it, but if any are out of print then rip
That goes with most collections.
Bruh. Same thing if your house burns down.
thats what i was thinking too
That shit's courageous, he's not just being ostentatious
I gotta stop displaying my manga like a prop & go turn some pages!
why bother buying books and not reading them? I bought all of my manga and read them. though my collection only a shelf worth, I still read all of them atleast once and know the storyline.
@@shafwandito4724 yea no point in buying manga just to show people that you have a lot of it if you’re not gonna read it
@@shafwandito4724 I read Chainsaw Man on the Viz app but am buying the physicals to boost sales numbers and to have for a day without electricity/internet
Uh, say what? You buy manga only to not read it? Why even buy it lol
@@jinwoo78 For collecting. I read everything I buy but most I read already online. I buy physicals if I like the series and want to support it. And also to reread whenever I feel like it. Others buy just to collect. That's a much more hollow experience since they may just view it as a material object that adds value to their collection and not a story they like, but hey it's not for us to judge them I guess.
His home library has more books than my actual local library
It’s my dream to get all of this one day. Huge respect
I'd recommend trying out A Bride's Story. A seinen series about nomadic tribes on the silk road in the 19th century. The art alone is astonishing and the whole series is rendered in immaculate detail (particularly the traditional clothing that the characters wear). It's published in single vol hardcovers by Yen Press
Yes, I really recommend it too !
Is there paperback?
@@James-og2qu no they're only in hardcover or digital 👍
Let’s spread the love for this series.
I'm v v new to Manga, but as a history nerd, this sounds so interesting!
Busy jotting down on Manga recs list*😄
I'm really jealous of how big the books are, because I'm Japanese and most of our manga are small. I guess it does help with the price and space but still.
Yea I've noticed that the Japanese volumes are smaller for some reason. Do you happen to know why?
@@gentlemansoup japanese people are smaller
@@princeinparis 🗿
@@gentlemansoup there might be some real reason but I would say it is due to two facts. One, in japanese they sell a lot of Manga and light novels and can't compare to the west. So they might need to save up by doing it smaller. My second guess would be because it being smaller fits everywhere. It won't take much space and given how most japanese tend to read Manga and other books while on train it makes life easier for them than carrying around a heavy and large book
@@gentlemansoup
This is because Japanese manga are generally cheap so that even children can buy them.
$ 4～$7
Manga is very cheap in Japan, so it is not a valuable item.
I'm sorry for Google Translate
This thing is so damn admirable. Id love to bring friends and guests in and let them chill and read for the day etc.
Ofc! So nice
This is an amazing manga collection, I aspire to have this when I’m older!!!
Wow! Massive! Black clover! Blue exorcist! D.gray-man!😭 Those collections were 🙌🙌🙌✨
I didn't know there was this much manga published in English. Good to know i won't run out of options to collect. I love manga but I vastly prefer reading it physically. Plus it looks awesome on a shelf.
This home library is bigger than my local barnes and noble
Your 90s sitcom-esque intro is and will always be one of my my favorites to watch, thank you for that. It gives me nostalgia but also makes me laugh. Lol
I like the idea of the manga spacer, makes so much sense! Also, would love to see how you decide what goes into the new shelf 👍🏾
Amazing collection! The dedication is unbelievable
Insane collection! Love the idea of using the shelves as room dividers.
It seems like adding in new volumes and moving series would be a real pain given you don't leave many gaps. How much time do you spend just reorganising your collection?
I’m sure he does it every month rather than every volume
Someone who actually has all of Whistle! You are a rare person
I just wanted to say that watching your collection really made me happy, it helped me visualize what i wanna acomplish with my small collection so far, so thank you for sharing this!! ( also i realize this might already be outdated, but the feeling was the point)
I really like how you call it your library! I’ve never thought of calling a collection that and your setup is so cool!
wow, this is amazing! I've been collecting books for pretty much my entire life, but only just got into manga last year and then my boyfriend and I started collecting our favorite manga series just a couple months ago.
That's so nice to hear. I'm also a book collector and I'm collecting manga too, I've started collecting The Promised Neverland
Love these! Just started reading Manga and you have been an awesome resource 🙂 thank you
i swear his video's come out at the exact right time for when i need em
Whenever these come out they are the highlight of my month! 😁
Amazing! Beautiful! And just all around awesome collection my friend!
Dude awesome library, I’m amazed you have the space for it in your house that’s really cool
that collection is insane dude! keep collecting. ur vids are great
if you haven’t already i recommend picking up this new series called “laughing under the clouds” it’s a sweet tale from the meiji period, definitely a relaxing read.
sweet collection and the dedication is unbelievable i can not believe how big your collection is and another great video.
Nice ive been waiting for this
This is an awesome collection, and it's so nicely organized.
Awsome collection man!! Huge respect to you library and sorting😅
Just wanted to say man, I’ve been watching RUclips for years as we all have but your video intro is my favorite I’ve ever seen hahahah
I've been waiting for a new video man
This guy is living my dream. Currently around 200 volumes and growing! Once I get a bigger place I'll have more room to get more :) Love your content from TikTok and recently found you here 😁
your collection is truly immaculate and an inspiration. Just surpassed my 100 volume mark hopefully one day I can reach this level
If you haven't heard of Gintama, Detective Conan aka Case Closed, or Steins;Gate, I suggest you look into those as well. This has to be among the greatest manga collection I've seen. It's like entering a bookstore or something. Library indeed.
this was interesting to watch got a few recs to add to my tbr so thank you for this
This is the first manga collection video where I've seen a manga that I actually own as well, and that is the first volume of Blue Exorcist. I didn't think it would be so difficult to find mutually owned manga, especially from people with such massive collections, but it made me super happy to see this.
Whoever inherits your collection better be really happy
I love your videos they inspire me so much keep going man
I’m so glad you’ve collected trigun, I love trigun so much!!!
Oh my gosh!! You have Claymore?? It’s one of the first manga I’ve read & it’s a phenomenal series. Also I’m blown away from your library. I have some books of beginning to collect but I’d never thought of collecting manga. Perhaps I should have a manga section someday but not anytime soon. Thank you for your advice. Especially about taking the time over the years to expand one’s collection. I’ve already spent $1000 in my books and bookshelf this year. I should really pace myself
Thanks for the video, it gave me quite some suggestions for future reading...
This was in my recommended. Cool video, and you seem like a very wholesome dude. Subbed.
Edit: After finishing the video, I have some thoughts. Firstly, awesome to see Black Cat! Kentarou Yabuki is absolutely my favorite manga artist ever, so it's cool to see. I still need to actually buy the series, tho, but I do have all of his other main ones. Speaking of his other series, I would certainly recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. I mean To Love Ru is the most shameless ecchi harem romcom trash out there, so if you dont like that, then totally ignore my recommendation for it lmao. Much to my joy, Seven Seas just 2 days ago announced that they snagged the license for the Darling in the Franxx manga. No spoilers, but I can say that it definitely did not end in a flaming dumpster fire like the anime did and do recommend it. And then as for Ayakashi Triangle, it's just ecchi non-harem romcom trash. I love it! Clearly Saki Hasemi (To Love Ru's writer) rubbed off on Yabuki in all the right ways. That being said, Viz got the license for this series instead of Seven Seas, and sadly we may not even get an English physical release. I own all of Yabuki's works in Japanese anyway, but still sucks. And I have all 3 of these series together on one shelf, the Kentarou Yabuki shelf, something that you did as well for your favorite creators.
Ugh, RUclips cut off the 2nd half of my comment, so I will summarize because retyping it all would be too much work.
Basically, I find your use of alphabetization interesting. I currently sort solely by series preference (with the exception of the Yabuki shelf), a seriously impractical method that will most likely break down when I have anywhere near the amount of volumes you have (I currently have only like 150.), given that I have to rearrange them whenever I change my preferences. Some amount of alphabetization or unchanging sort method seems inevitable, but I will fight it for as long as possible. I also find your splitting by English publisher interesting. I wouldnt have done it that way.
tldr for whole comment: I recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. Kentarou Yabuki is my god.
I am so happy this is out!!!
yessssssss i’m so exited to watch this
Awesome Video! I've seen your TikTok and now I'm glad I've found your channel!
There is just something about a well organised, flowing bookshelf full of Manga that makes me so happy
Collection goals right here!
Great collection my guy
some recommendations:
Girls' Last Tour (6 Volumes, kinda hard to find all of em though)
Mushishi (8 Volumes)
Ayako (1 Volume)
MW (1 Volume)
There are many more that I would recommend, but they've sadly not yet gotten an english release (Billy Bat, Sun-Ken Rock, Jagaaan etc)
Love how you organize your manga
Mate you have a fantastic collection right there!
When I get a job in a year, I’m going to split my paycheck in half, one for life, one for manga
id be careful with this. If u make tips maybe split that in half. Just buy 1-3 at a time or go for box sets. Dont get ahead of yourself
Lol what about savings
@@lenaelisabeth fuck saving when you can have manga lol
@@lenaelisabeth yea that’s for the other half, I’m a kid I don’t need to spend things on food or utility
@@kadanimated most jobs don’t get tips…
Thanks for sharing. I love how you mentioned your use of law of attraction. Just starting Maison Ikkoku and Urusei Yatsura.
Awesome video great manga collection so much manga that’s so cool
omg this is so goal of mine!! you're inspiration
YES!! I love these!
I'm one of those people who likes looking at other people collections. It's very satisfying somehow. So I really enjoyed this! Thanks for that.
I saw part 1-3 and immediately knew this was a good video
Awesome collection! 👍
What a marvelous collection
I would love to see more Manga related videos from you. With such extensive knowledge, I would love to hear things like top 10 mystery manga recommendations etc. Just started getting into manga and am really enjoying them, but a little lost on what is out there.
That was awesome! Twenty years is such a long time to perfect your craft and passion good for you . I added Devilman I have no idea what this is but it seems classic when I looked at reviews ; just that no one I noticed on RUclips ever did a review before hopefully it’s good .
it had a pretty popular anime recently on netflix too
Im not gonna lie bro you look exactly like Leonard from big bang theory! love the content. keep up the great work!
Those Berserk hardcovers are wonderful, but you miss out on a lot of really great Miura painting on the paperback's covers.
Agreed. That's the reason I go for the paperbacks and not the deluxe editions. Also I just find it more comfortable.
Your smile got me hooked, not gonna lie
I definitely recommend anything by Fumi Yoshinaga, I think you would like her series called Ooku. It details the idea of what might happen to Japan during the feudal era if a virus suddenly started only attacking males, going into depth what that might do to the economy, the government, and society. It won a lot of awards in Japan including the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Grand Prize in 2009. The series completed recently, with 19 volumes in total. Some people find the translation off putting (in the original, she used archaic Japanese to obviously convey a specific time period, so English translators decided to use Early Modern English ala Shakespeare style), but if that type of thing doesn’t bother you it’s a great read.
Grand Blue Dreaming, a fellow man of honor and culture.
Very nice! I'm surprised not to see any Osamu Tezuka! Message to Adolf is fantastic and the beautiful Vertical hardcovers are pretty cheap right now btw. ; )
Very nice collection at certain! It was very enjoyable to watch.
Could you please make a video with your to buy list or wish list. I’m personally very interesting in it.
Best manga collection I've ever seen.
This is sick dude!
I recommend bakuman, its not the most eventful manga series but it is quite intresting. Its about 2 highschool kids that try to become famous manga artists, it gives a pretty good look in the creation of manga and all the work that goes into one. Its made by the creator of death note
Hello there fellow collector! I see you're using good and trusty Billy shelves :P I have been collecting for similar amount of time, and I'm at 2397 volumes (yes, I keep all my manga in excel sheet, with information on which shelf I have them). I think your collection is bigger, since you own more multi-volume issues, but hey, it's not a race :D
Really jealous of your manga collection man! Wish I the JJK manga too but everything sold out in an INSTANT
Inspirational and super interesting!
cool very cool! thanks for sharing
Hey Ryley, congrats on almost 30k! If you have not check out Chihayafuru, I'd definitely recommend that series. It's a bout a Japanese card/poetry game, Karuta. It's one of my hidden gems. I'm sure you'll love it. The Monogatari series is wonderful too although not a manga. Have a great day! :)
I liked your favorite section. It's pretty similar to my fav mangas as well :)
I am always amazed at people's collections. I don't have the room for so much sadly, so my is small. I am trying to get the 3 in 1 Gantz because I didn't finish collecting it when it first came out (super tight budget is yet another reason) as well as thinking planning the same thing with Ranma 1\2.
I was trying to find a manga I had saw the other day but couldn't remember the name so I came here, did not disappoint
Girl on the shore is brilliant everything by Ino is amazing. I just finished Goodnight Punpun vol 1 - I have pretty much everything done by Junji Ito, No Longer Human is my fav by him as well as Uzumaki, Tomie, and Dissolving Classroom. Those are all my favs.
New here but so glad I found your channel! You have an amazing collection, hopefully one day I can get on your level lol!
Cool collection.I just started collecting manga I have 2 so far.
some of these manga spines are rlly nice like the dr stone ones. its so vibrant
So my recommendations in case you haven't had them before that I didn't see in the collection are: Psyren, Astra Lost in Space, Kaguya Sama Love is War and That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. I have some vol of these on my very small 100 vol collection and I love them. Thank you for sharing this literal heaven on earth!
Can you do an overview on samurai deeper kyo eventually? Epic collection dude it’s insane
Great video and I am impressed.
I recommend reading Holyland, one of the best seinens and martial arts manga. There’s no English volume release though
Yes for a tour! 😏
i cant imagine how it would be so fun the organize them
