My #1 Rule For Collecting Manga and Recommendations

If you are getting into the larger volumes, please save your money and buy box sets as they are by far the CHEAPEST in the long run. Don't pick up a few at a time unless you enjoy wasting money.

Recently I've slowly been attempting to collect all of One Piece so I take about $20-$30 dollars from each paycheck and picking up 3 volumes.

Nice vid! I'm actually working on collecting the individual volumes of One Piece. I started my collection when I was in elementary school, so getting the individual volumes instead of the omnibus is important to me. I've been collecting other series along the way, so these tips were helpful for me getting my budgeting together. Keep up the good work!

I only buy what I like. I’m actually pretty new to graphic novels but so far I got Hellsing deluxe set, Akira boxset, Blame 1&2, Batman American comics omnibus, and I just got the full Dragon ball and DBZ box sets I’m waiting for!

Thank you for the advice and the recommendations!

Any series that has a box set that’s how you should buy it, it’s far cheaper, especially for series that have over 25 volumes. Always buy the box sets, like if you buy One Piece in singles it’ll cost you over $1,000, you can get the entire series for a little over $400 if you shop around for the box sets, I do often see them on sale.

My strat every year has been to save up $100 a year ($50 for the Summer and $50 for Winter) and spending it on Crunchy Roll manga shop (previously Right Stuf) during their Summer & Winter sales to get $50 worth of manga at really discounted rates and to get the free shipping on each order.

I love Fire Punch. I don't hear enough about it. I don't care for the ending it came out of nowhere to me, but all the others were great. People should definitely recommend it more. I love your tips. I think another tip is to compare prices if you have the patience to wait for an order to arrive. Like with books a million they have good manga sells online but not in store, so I'll place an order online and just pick it up I go to the store to make sure they have it, pick the books up myself and pay for it online and the worker doesn't have to do anything. I compare prices from Amazon, Crunchy Roll, Books a Million and Barnes and Noble

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!

If you don't care about having brand new volumes buying used from ebay, thrift stores, or facebook market place can save money. A lot of the times "used" is basically new but might have a scuff or two that aren't noticeable from 1 foot away and would have happened to the new volume over time anyway. Also be on the lookout for deals from bookstores / anime stores. Black friday isn't the only sale.

I spend €300+ every month on manga. When I start a new manga, I usually buy all the existing volumes straight away

imma get all the Komi-San manga since it was the first manga i started reading in 2017, just waiting for a 40% on the net store that I buy my manga form! but great video for tips. Love from Norway!

I recommend the box sets for bulk series As for how much cheaper it is. Chainsaw man was 100 plus at local stores and Amazon sold it like $54 for 11 books. I just started collecting like 5 or 6 months ago and I would bulk buy at the local Barnes and noble every week and it got so overwhelming on just having a stack of manga and no time to read.. i agree with you on buying a few manga at a time. That's what I'm doing for now on unless a box set come out

that hoodie is tuff

I was new to collecting only stared 1 year ago i have junji ito tomie uzamaki and longer human I have Vinland saga 13 books hellsing blade of the immortal vagabond death note black edition all Naruto box sets Tokyo Goul box set 1 and 2 and the monster editions the monster editions were so hard to obtain AOT colossal editions and neon genisis akira box set and Gantz and bleach all 3 boxsets and Jojo out to part 6 book 1 and so much more but I must say let’s just say its like Pokémon gotta catch them all😂😂

that's a nice tip I will use but tweaked a bit because where I live mangas are around 7-8€. But I think you should try to talk louder, put pages off the manga you recommend to show the art style or other stuff. And be more energetic on camera. I think that could improve the quality of your videos :D

So happy to see you recommending Alice in Borderland it's quite a ride. Solitary Confinement was my favorite

Ur so underrated before subbing I tought u had like 50k subs kepp the Grind respect

Yep! I plan to get three volumes each for cardcaptor sakura clear card. I already have volumes 1, 2, 3 so my next purchase will be 4, 5, 6. Ialready bought a manga this month so got to wait a bit! I personally like getting omnibus' so that works for me too.

Another good one for like a $30 budget is Crazy Food Truck. Just 3 volumes and u should be able to find each for under $10
