Half Price books is hit and miss. But when you hit you hit good. I know you stay around Houston, I do as well. In 2019 I found volumes 1-26 of the Tokyopop Initial D print, at the 1960 location. It's closed now. And just this past weekend, I went to Galveston with some buddies, stopped by the one in Webster on the way home. Found the whole series of Ruroni Kenshin. Good stuff!
Genuinely excited for you to get into Mysterious Girlfriend X. It’s my all time favorite anime for its unique premise and genuine bond and feelings the characters make hits home
Amazing luck on some of those OOP titles! I was going to say if you wanted more bilingual volumes to go with Leo, the first three books of Chihayafuru have been published in that format, but then you went and pulled out that 20 volume haul lmao (english volumes someday, please kodansha I am begging you) Very cool to see Petshop of Horrors in there, I collected that as a teen as it was releasing so it's a super nostalgic series for me. I hope you enjoy it! My pipe dream is that someone picks the license back up and finishes the sequel series, and I believe there's a third one as well? That would be very cool, even if it's extremely unlikely
Would love if you tried Kuroshitsuji aka Black Butler by Yana Toboso published by Yen Press, it's a great manga I'm really curious to know your opinion on it
Crying Freeman is one of my all time favourites, it’s not particularly the best series but it’s so damn fun, it’s a good read for anyone who is a fan of 80’s action films
So many great pickups! I have a recommendation for you for a title that I think is really underrated with a heart wrenching story and some really dark themes. It’s called A Home Far Away. The art in it is also amazing. I’m guessing most people are skipping out on it since it’s from Kuma and labeled a BL. But I really wish it would get the recognition it deserves.
I love the haul videos, even when they're long ones like this one, thanks for sharing. I did miss 2 pretty good Ebay deals I got outbid in the last seconds on, for watching the whole video, but that's on me 😂
Amazing OOP haul! I also used to own Crying Freeman and I didn't know it had ever been published in single comics. Also congratulations on the Oldboy deal!
What they told you about Tower of God is 100% correct in my opinion. The first part/season of the story which is the first 8 volumes, its pretty good, but part/season 2 is where it gets fantastic in my opinion. So much happens, so many great character moments, lore pieces, fights, you will love it I'm sure. ToG has a world that I'd say is bigger than One Piece's world
@@omnibuscollector Fair enough I guess! Personally I enjoyed the whole first season of it even if the art wasn't the prettiest just for the story and characters, especially since it felt very similar to Hunter x Hunter which I enjoyed. It's probably somewhat similar in overall scope as well, except not on eternal hiatus lmao. You can always look up 'Tower of God art comparisons' if the art is what is bothering you, not much helping if you dislike the story itself though haha. If you're not enjoying it, no reason to force yourself to read it!
Hi. Do you or someone knows if would “EDEN- It’s a endless world” get reprinted in english? I was in Barcelona and they have this new reprint a bit larger size… it was beautiful but unfortunately I can’t reed spanish. Ty
I had all of Lady Slow Blood and Oldboy 3 years ago but sold both off (along w/ other stuff)cause I needed the funds. They’re cool. Nothing outstanding though. Their movie adaptations are better.
Enjoy your Koike rabbithole plunge! LW&C and Samurai Executioner are top tier seinen. Path of the Assassin is a bit weaker by comparison, but still worth your time. Crying Freeman is wild and ridiculous from start to finish! Try and find Lady Snowblood if you can as well!
bit late to the video but i scored a really good deal on old boy years ago now probably back in 2017 - 18 all 8 volumes for $50aud so like $35usd, such a good series, when you finish reading something and wish it was more volumes thats how you know its a good read, and when youve re - read it 2 or 3 times, so good, alot of people say the anime is better but defnitely not in my opinion.
If you liked the petshop of horrors anime, your mind will definitely be blown with the manga. It‘s one of my favorite manga ever, would love to hear your review after you read it. Wishing you a lot of fun reading :)
I saw Old Boy at my Half priced books nearby and they looked like they were in decent condition. I also saw like 80% of Golden Kamuy there too. I just don’t have the money for it right now. Ugh
Quick question. Is it possible for manga to yellow if it’s still in its original factory seal? I bought a couple rare volumes recently and a couple are slightly yellowed but still “new sealed” just want to make sure it’s legit. Thank you
@@omnibuscollector thank you for the quick reply. Also collecting sealed old boy volumes (only missing 4&8 now) and 2 of them came with slight yellowing so had a concern about legitimacy. Cheers.
This month I finally finished collecting/fully caught up with all my longer 20+ backlog physical volumes, so I'm ready to add some new series to my shopping list! There are so many good ones on my wishlist to choose from that I've held off, but I definitely need to narrow down/prioritize titles before I start spending haha Also oh snap I need to grab Vanitas Vol 9, it's been a while since 8 so I forget it was coming out.
I collect RARE manga- I was happy to hav Franken Fran- but now that it has been reprinted- I guess its not RARE any more.. or is the 1st print still special?
The last couple volumes of Blue Period had been amazing. Would love to hear more of your thoughts about it. Maybe my favorite manga honestly
I had no idea Oldboy was that rare, I have had the entire series in my read pile for two years!

He got A Sign of Affection AND Mysterious Girlfriend X in one go?!? I think I’m in love.☺️
Genuinely excited for you to get into Mysterious Girlfriend X. It’s my all time favorite anime for its unique premise and genuine bond and feelings the characters make hits home
I always look forward to this videos. They’re so relaxing! Also I love the shirt, me and my brother are big Speed Racer fans 😅
The birthday haul is gonna be crazy
P.S that speed racer jumper is awesome
I just found your channel today and absolutely love the vibes can’t wait to see more of your content

watched the OVAs and it was the biggest pile of shit I have ever seen, is the manga that much better?
I see marik behind you in the glass case. I’ve had a major crush on him and still do❤❤❤
epic!!!! Drifting dragons and Oldboy are on my list!!! haha... cant wait to go to Argentina again and ger them!! Cheers!!
I think he low key spent something equally to my entire monthly check
So many great pickups!

wait I'm floored that you could get all of Livingstone. vol 3 is like nonexistent as far as I knew omg

Old boy is something that I need to get. I might just get the English Malaysia version of it since I doubt Dark Horse will ever reprint it again.

Soooooooo many volumes! Awww man! Fantastic!
Soloist in a cage is amazing 😍😍😍
i have the chihayafuru volumes as well! Lets hope we get english volumes in the future and that they retain the spines 🤞
are you going to add Kazuo Koike to your creator shelf
Wishing you the best of luck with Phoenix I managed to find Volume 7 while visiting the UK

love your videos I got alot of great ideas for Manga's from you.
u should do a collaboration with nerdforge to bind those books to a custom hardcover books, would be a cool collab

whats your thoughts on the quality of the tower of god physical? seemed really flimsy to me

Yes, because light can still hit the pages.

I have the first two Lady Snowblood Dark Horse editions, I have really struggled to find any more
Followed the twitter progress and came here 😅. Wow, 200+ 😎
I LOVE CHIHAYAFURU! WHERE IS THAT ENGLISH PHYSICAL PRINT
Insane haul
Didn't know you did art school, do you plan on doing a qna sometime in the future when you achieve a milestone?
when is the giveaway getting posted
My only bilingual manga is volume 1 of Chihayafuru!
Can someone highlight the timestamp where he shows Homunculus omnibus volume 1?
It didn’t come out until June; this is my May haul.
Great video
I collect RARE manga- I was happy to hav Franken Fran- but now that it has been reprinted- I guess its not RARE any more.. or is the 1st print still special?
No, they really don’t matter.
@@omnibuscollector when are the reprints releasing ??
@@iFkUrHo3 last month. I showed them on a live stream you were watching and also in this video.
so dope
Trigger is doing a non-original work? I guess the success of Edgerunners is showing
FIRST!!!! HAHAHAAAA🎉
How do we start the 2 cents Phoenix donation?
I''m down for the fundraiser 😂
