    Started collecting during the start of the pandemic and the thing that helped me most is to have a spreadsheet for manga that keeps track of both my collection and my spending. Set a hard limit per month on how much manga you can afford and put the rest into savings. Be responsible people. Don't go broke over manga no matter how tempting it is to buy more.

    • @TheMangaSloth

    I started collecting manga about 20 years ago (Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Fushigi Yugi...). I was really into it and shared the hobby with my best friend and some other friends. When she died I stopped reading, I just couldn't read manga without getting sad and depressed because I always had to think of her. So I basically didn't read manga for about ten years. I recently started again and realised how much I missed it. So I started collecting again and watching manga YTer videos (I really love seeing the collections and recommendations of others). :3

    Before this I had a single volume of MHA- VOL.11.
    It is very important to start with something you love.
    I had 2nd thoughts after collecting 9 volumes of OP and thought I am wasting money but my love for one piece pushed me and now I own 78 volumes of one piece among some others like JoJo and MHA.
    Uzumaki GYO No longer human (dazai) homunculus goodnight punpun are next.

    So I just finished buying all of Junji Ito’s English Collection… 23 books… and I’ve read 13 books! Gonna finish those and then buy some more even though I have a Japanese version of Alley from Junji Ito (which comes out end of July in the US) and a Japanese version of Sensor which is my favorite Junji Ito story. You earned a sub. I appreciate you telling us that even owning 1 book means I’m a collector. I found a love for Manga and Japanese culture as a whole. I am now in the process of learning Japanese with the hopes that one day I get to meet the legend Junji Ito and I can speak and understand his native tongue. But even if I don’t I can read his books the way he wrote them and that means a lot to me as well and I can talk to other cool Japanese people in their tongue.

    When I first started my collection, I bought manga for the anime that I LOVED (Tokyo Ghoul and Beastars was my first attempt at serious collection.)
    Now that I’m branching out more, I buy series similar to the genres I like. So if they don’t have an anime for that series, I’ll collect based on topic and then see if that mangaka has any other work that I like.
    It takes time and commitment but it’s so worth it ❤️

    My favorite one in terms of collecting was Vampire Knight. I got volume 1 at the bookstore as a present for graduating from elementary school and began collecting it when it was only 5 volumes long. It was the 6th series I ever began collecting. I bought every volume after vol.5 as they were released over the years including my copy of lmtd ed vol.19 and of course VK Memories.

    The manga that I started reading was Fruits Basket. I got most of the volumes at my used bookstore for $5 or less. I did get series that I didn't like when starting out, now when I want to get manga I make a to get / wish list. For the last month I've decided to pick up mangas of series I already have instead of buying newer ones. My last manga haul I got was Attack on Titan Colossal Edition #5, My Hero Academia volume 4, Attack on Titan No Regrets which I already have the hard cover volume. I did pick up one new series and that was the first two volumes of Attack on Titan Before the Fall. I read some of it online and liked it. I had planned on picking it up anyway.

    Hey thanks for this video! I just started my collection (yesterday), after randomly stumbling over anime. I watched Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen and Hells Paradise and I also started Demon Slayer, One Piece, Dr Stone and some other titles. I am more a reading person though and was told that mangas tend to be more detailed than the anime (which makes sense, its the same for books and movies) but anyways I eventually stopped watching anime and decided to try manga. I read a bit online and loved it but quickly got annoyed by the fact its only on my phone, small and full of ads and I also like to read books in a physical format rather to the digital one. So I just purchased the complete Jujutsu Kaisen manga since I loved the anime but the manga is like three times as much as the anime (I was thinking about starting with AoT but I just watched the whole anime and know the ending, so I think I will re-read it in a few years and decided to first go with smaller titles I dont (fully) know). So I am enjoying JJK right now and since I dont have THAT much time I think I will be busy with it for a while. I already decided for the second series after: Hells Paradise. And there are so many other mangas I got recommended like Tokyo Ghoul, Dr Stone, Death Note, etc etc. I really am curious aswell about the classic giants everyone is talking about I have no clue of (other than watching a few episodes) like One Piece, Naruto, ... but I am not sure if I will ever have the stamina to purchase them all and read them all in one go (which I would normally prefer), but 100 books is a bit hefty compared to 5-25 books. I may, after finishing one or two shorter stories purchase, say 20 volumes of One Piece for example, read another Manga then and purchase another 20 One Piece and so on. I think thats a good strategy for reading these huge titles.

    • @TheMangaSloth
      @TheMangaSloth  11 місяців тому +1

      Hey congrats on starting! Mangas are def more detailed and leave nothing out! Yeah make sure to go at your own pace! It can be overwhelming even with a handful of books sometimes. I like reading 1 a day at least maybe before bed to calm down and not look at phones etc.

    I agree with you shouldn't impulse buy too much unless you're waiting to finish collecting a completed series before reading it, in that case, it's understandable. For example I impulse bought 2 14 volumes series in one go and then didn't read them for 2 weeks because I was still busy shopping too much.
    I have some advice for people collecting long series like one piece. just buy like 1 volume per week. in a year you will have 52 volumes of one piece and will have read tonnes of other amazing manga, after which you can consume that long series you slowly collected like one piece. that is what I did. I collected it on the side. after I had completed give or take 80 series I had 60ish one piece volumes on the side and could enjoy it. hope this helps someone

    I been collecting since 2016, starting with dbz. Now I have 100+ manga at the moment. My favorite series I've been collecting is my hero academia and I have the all and current releases for it. Also, I collect the two spin off Vigilantes and team up mission.

      Nice! Good sounding collection. MHA is great I have not gotten into vigilantes yet.

      @@TheMangaSloth Thanks for the comment. If you have the chance try Vigilantes, it's 9 volumes so far and it prequel to the main story.
