It will be funny when you compare what you spent vs. what it's all worth...and the latter number is significantly larger. Nice production by the way, your lighting is always really nice.
@@JolDettori Yea luckily I buy from sites with free shipping, if I had to pay for shipping on every volume it’d cost a lot. I buy nearly entirely from Blackwells and they have free shipping, they have a great selection of manga, nearly everything I need. It’s only the odd one I have to find elsewhere.
The Gon series is an amazing series and has 9/10 art. It really shows a reader just how much the artwork of a manga/comic can tell a story rather than just having pretty illustrations.
Bravo on getting all the different individual issues over omnibus. For Blade Of The Immortal, although not my favorite series, I sold 10s of thousands of dollars of the individual issues back when collected volumes didn't exist for most manga. So many of the issues were very tough, especially as the popularity grew and Dark Horse didn't reprint the early issues. I still keep all of my individual issues and just recently bagged and boarded them all for fun. The covers are nicer and many times the collected editions don't reprint those covers or if reprinted, everything is smaller.
I bought an Akira box set a month ago. They sent me two by accident...they take up so much space! But I had to have it because the non-flipped version...
I have nearly 1k volumes in my collection but I've probably paid like 1/4 of its worth due to good deals on mangaswap & eBay lol. Anyways, awesome collection & great vid like always!
It wouldn't surprise me if that TokyoTribes 6's production was cut as Tokyo Pop went out of business the first time, and/or if it came out way later than 1-5.
I started buying Vinland Saga, bought the first 3 volumes, but when I heard the announcement last year they were releasing a deluxe I said I’d get those instead. And I’m lucky I did because they look amazing.
12:27 I’ve grown to hate a lot of Vizbigs, it’s how they put the main character on every single spine, most 3-in-1’s do this. I’ve no idea why they do this. The DBZ Vizbigs would have been so cool if they had a different character on each spine, like Vegeta, Freeza, Buu, Cell etc. The worst are the One Piece 3-in-1’s, there’s over 30 of them & Luffy is on every single spine. There’s some Vizbigs that don’t do that, like Vagabond or InuYasha.
I’ve spent a fraction of what you have and I’m still stunned at my number. Really enjoy my collection though. I just want to complete 4 series. By the way, I keep getting unsubscribed. Thanks for the video.
your math is all wrong..basically for all books..but giving 2 examples: buying fist of the northstar, some for retail, some for half price..doesnt make the average 10 dollars..Eden endless world you say you paid 220 dollars..for which you give examples of 4 issues you bought on ebay for 45, 40, 25 and 34 usd...that means you paid 76 dollars for the other ten books..you also never included shipping costs.
You have the Re:Zero novels, can I ask is Subaru as annoying in those as he is in the anime? I had to stop watching it because I just couldn’t deal with so much cringe, I think he’s the most annoying character ever created. It’s a pity because I really loved Rem & Beatrice, would have liked to see more of them.
Thanks for watching the video! If you want to see me count up how much my manga collection is WORTH, leave a comment! 👍

Just a warning on the Alive series. The series reads well, then suddenly cuts off in the middle and stopped being released.
Yeah I know, I still plan to read online
You guys are just so lucky in the US having so many different places to buy manga.
Facts! 🇺🇸1️⃣
Yep, and we even had local distributors.
The money i could have saved on shipping if i lived in the US 😂

Would love to see a video featuring some of your other collections!
Planning to do updated Blu-ray, video game, and figure collection vids once I move into a new apartment later this year 👍

Those Gantz singles are so nice, will you buy the deluxe if it gets made? I heard people say it might get one.
If you were to sell everything in aftermarket value, you’ll easily make your money back, maybe even double
Did you sell your basara set?
What else are you collecting
Video games, figures, movies and records are the main ones
Would love one to count how much the whole thing is worth.
500 for gantz is easily cheap. I should've picked it up when i had the chance
Yeah I got really lucky, found some of the super rare ones in cheap lots on Mercari and eBay
I can't believe it

35 for the buddha hardcovers is insane
Fr the person who was selling must’ve wanted them GONE
I really want to get Battle Angel Alita, really want to read that.

Can you share a link to your spreadsheet?
I can share the link for my 2023 sheet, I’ll do that today
I’d say if you payed full price for everything it would be a lot more, I have to pay full price for all my manga, I’ve spent just under €15k.
