Been years since I read golden sheep so my memory isn't all there, but I remember it pissing me off that they forgive the bully friend just bc he lost his boxing match and they felt bad for him. Can't remember if there was more to it but I remember being really disappointed with how easily forgiven he was. Also if you love Vagabond after the first vizbig, you're going to love the rest. It just continues to get better, so definitely keep going!
@@ThugStankdope yeah I know that particular part of golden sheep is contentious in the community and you remember it correctly but I think most people forget it’s because the MC pretty much abandoned him after the bully’s dad got caught in the really major scandal (he was some kind of major political figure I think) and as a result the bully character started getting bullied and shunned by everyone and the MC who was his best friend never stood up for him or even checked on him. He pretty much abandoned him and that’s what started his villain arc. I just think the self deletion stuff at the beginning is so prominent and stick the readers it make it hard for some people empathize with the bully. However I will say that’s it’s always emphasized throughout the story that the MC never fought back because he always considered the bully character his friend and it was implied that before we got the bully’s dad character’s back story that there was some guilt the mc felt about it. Beyond that I really liked the way it ended because it ended on a more hey we are all finally together again, albeit sharing the wounds of the past and maybe we will drift apart over the years but we will always have these memories and moments good or bad. I also think particularly between the MC and their bully that things would never be like they were and that could never be a close as they were but there was mutual respect established between the two of them. I hope this long rant makes sense and at least explains at least how I interpreted it lol. As for vagabond, I just finished volume 2 earlier this week and it’s a damn good story! It’s such a breeze to read and the artwork is phenomenal. I love almost all of the characters and I had a hard time putting it down. It truly is an epic! Thanks for watching! I truly appreciate it!
Thanks so much for watching! Maison Ikkoku has me in a chokehold right now but once I get to a good stopping place I think I’m going to pick up mermaid story. I love Takahasi’s character work and writing so I have no doubt mermaid saga is going to be great!
omg i’ve been trying to find maison ikkoku for years because i read it as a young teen, thank you for your video because i never would have remembered it otherwise
Maison Ikkoku is excellent! I love the episodic story telling and I feel like I could drop in on this cast at anytime and be entertained. I highly recommend it! I also feel like you get your moneys worth because it’s pretty dialogue heavy and dense. Thanks so much for watching!
@@vibrain16 I’m actually really excited to check it out. I just finished the first 3 volumes of how I met my soulmate and I think I’m going to tackle a few volumes of boys abyss next. Wish me luck lol!
@@sadmarcus also Vagabond is my favorite manga..I finished the audio book Musashi which the manga is based on earlier this year and it was long but good
@@RetailRod I’m loving it so far. The art and the writing are out of this world. It’s so easy to read too. Like you’d think it would be challenging because each omnibus is so thick, but it’s not at all.
Well it depends. A standard volume is usually around 11.99-$15. Omnibus 2 or 3 in 1 are usually around $20-$25. There are a lot of avenues to get deals on it. Crunchyroll’s store pretty much always has their anime on discount and they have various sales throughout the the year. Also if you have a paid Crunchyroll subscription, you get at least 10% extra off. There’s also buying second hand, I recommend Mercari. I’ve gotten quite a few multi volume lots for very cheap there. Books a million online is pretty much always 15% off all manga and they usually have some kind on code you can find for extra off. Barnes and Noble has their membership program. It’s steep at $40 per year you get 10% off all purchases and free online shipping. If you don’t mind the books possibly having dings on it Amazon usually has manga for pretty cheap. The best thing I can say is make a budget, shop around and stay focused on the series you want to collect to read. And don’t be afraid to buy second hand!
Awesome manga you have such cool stuff keep up the great work

How much do manga cost in average?
