Your Manga collection

Lantis

Sure there's a thread on VHS+DVD, so why not.

As with the other one, this is only counting hardcopy, since anyone can go grab a few manga volumes off the net in a minimal amount of time.

For me (most are Japanese, italics are English):

Dragon Ball 1-5, 7, 14, 28, 30-31, 41
.hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet 3
Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) 1, 3
Doraemon 4
GTO 1-3
V-Tamer 1-3, 8-9
Onmyou Taisenki 1
Soul Eater 1

Evangelion 2-3

And all of Naruto. No, seriously, I have everything that's ever come out in book form for Naruto.

CuLT

All of Hellsing
Volume 1 of Battle Angel Alita (must get more!)

Also I feel obligated to complete the Berserk manga after that delightful ending, although I started reading it before I watched the anime.

Went a bit voucher crazy with regards to manga over at play.com.

Got all four Azumanga Daioh volumes and four GTO books for a measly €6.

I'll update if I got all that through, wouldn't be surprised if they went "ah here now". Unfortunetly play.com's selection of manga is quite small and scattered, mostly popular Tokyopop stuff.

jaqian

www.sendit.com (use to be blackstar.co.uk) have a good selection of anime with free delivary in Ireland & UK. Only prob is you have to search by animation & dubbed otherwise you get all the disney crap. None of the film are found under manga or anime which is just stupid IMO.

Well it worked . For now it seems Play have blocked using more than one voucher, so you can't really abuse them now. You can still use one and get a manga for pittance though, think they expire tomorrow.

EDIT: Looks like the vouchers are dead now.

Sweet. Azumanga is hilarious. You should try Yotsubato if it's to your liking.

Hey, sory for the late reply. That's just a hardcover edition of the first volume of Akira. The contents, aside from the cover, is identical to the Dark Horse release. It's a Barnes & Noble limited edition (I guess? Haven't seen it since the inital release) they put out. It was acutally a hell of a lot cheaper than the DH paperbacks which was pretty strange. Unfortunately, B&N did not put out any of the other volumes. A real shame, since this is a really handsome book, and looks a lot better than the DH paperback, in my opinion.

My collection has at least quadrupled since I last posted in here, may post updated pictures at some point, if I remember.

Same here.

Scratch Acid

In fact, I'm a little burned out on manga at the moment, I've been reading a lot more American comics in recent months. It used to be that I'd check out the 1st volumes of most new shonen/seinen series coming out but lately I've been very conservative.

honru

What manga out of your collection would you recommend the most, Scratch? I'm open to anything if it's good.

Saruwatari

Ah, I'd love one of those individually-numbered-and-oh-so-awesome hardcover Akira books. Theres some on eBay too actually...

Scratch Acid

f®eak s&#169 wrote: »

You may regret this, but here we go :P :

-'Genshiken' from Del Ray.
Probably one of the best and most insightful comics dealing with fans themselves. It's just hiilarious, the characters are well-written and it's addictive as hell. 8 out of the 9 volumes have been released.

-'Planetes' from Tokyopop.
It's been a really long tim since I read this but it stilll sticks in my mind as one of my favourite series. It's a sci-fi manga dealing with the crew of a ship which is effectively a rubbish collecting service. (Space-garbagemen in other words). The focues here is on character development rather than action. It's quite poignant in places. The art is lovely too. 5/5 volumes have been released.

-'Berserk' from Dark Horse.
Beh, there's so much already written about this series. It's pretty much a fantasy manga set in some kind of medieval-esque time and place. It's pretty gritty, violent as hell and really goddamn compelling. In fact, you're probably familiar with this if you#re into manga, so I'll shut up now. It's up to, I think, 17 volumes in English out of about 30.

-'Oldboy' from Dark Horse.
Well, this is kind of an acquired taste I think. It's very light on dialogue, but the artwork is excellent, though again, some may find it hard to get used to. You may have seen the filme of this. The manga is quite different in places, and certinaly worth checking out even if you've seen the movie. If you haven't heard of the movie, but you're into crime-centric comics, check this one out aswell. 6/8 volumes out so far.

-'Hunter X Hunter' from Viz.
This is probably my favourite shonen title on the market. It's pretty popular so I'm sure you've heard of it. I like Togashi's artwork, and this series is addictive as all hell so...check it out if you're sick of 'Bleach' and 'Naruto'. 15 (I think) out of twenty-soemthing volumes are out in English.

-'Banana Fish' from Viz.
This is a shojo series that started in the 80's that appealed to nearly as many males as it did females, because of it's action-centric storyline and just general kickass-ness. Wow, that's a retarded sentence. Anyway, it's just a great story with fascinating characters, so check it out if you're looking for a good older series. There's hints of a gay relationship between two of the central characters so avoid if you're an extreme homophobe I guess. The whole series is out in English.

-'Monster' by from Viz.
Definitely one of the best titles being put out today. Just get it.

-Pretty much all tiles released by Viz in PULP magazine. This was a mag which started in 1999 I think, which had some fantastic series in it, taht there's no chance would be licensed these days. 'Short Cuts' by Usamaru Furuya, 'Heartbroken Angels' by Masahiko Kikuni, 'Dance 'Till Tomorrow' by Naoki Yamamoto (A personal favourite), 'Bakune Young' by Toyokazu Matsunaga, 'Black and White' by Taiyo Matsumoto. Actually, Vis are releasing the latter in one 600-page or so collection soon enough, keep an eye out for that.

Whew. A coupla others: 'Parasyte' (New edition from Del Ray), 'Crying Freeman' (New edition from Dark Horse), 'Blame!', 'Eden', 'Nodame Cantabile', 'GTO', 'Cromartie High School', 'Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service', anything by Junji Ito, anything by Osamu Tezuka (particularly 'Buddha', 'Ode to Kirihito' and 'Phoenix'), 'Maison Ikkoku', 'Dragon Head', 'Fullmetal Alchemist', 'King of Thorn' (Great new series from Tokyopop, reminds me strongly of Lost, think they still have a coupla copies of the first volumes in FP, check it out)

OK, that's enough for a while. Hope this helps, sorry if I went a bit nuts.

Cheers Scratch. I'm well into Berserk (you guessed right ) and Monster; both are my favourites. Up to whatever volume they are at in Englishland.

Hunter X Hunter was actually a manga I had my eye on so I'll take your word for it. Also I have never heard of Genshiken so I'll check that out.

Scratch Acid

Alright man, good stuff. I haven't seen Genshiken in FP in a long time, I think there may be some volumes in the Third Place. Otherwise you're gonna have to get 'em online.
