So my best friend got this at our local bookstore, and I was wondering how does this even happen and like if it’s rare?

Unfortunately like half of this (the big shelf, small shelf with Punpun, and wardrobe shelf) are locked up in boxes back at my family home but I hope to get it moved out to the state I work in eventually.

I found these little Chainsaw Man blind bag figures, and they were the perfect size to fit on my tiny manga shelf - I think they look super cute. I do wish my shelf was a bit bigger so I could fit my Funko Pop’s on it that go with my manga.

Pretty much all my favorite shounen series are made by women, so the only difficulty was narrowing it down. I ended up picking both shounen/seinen and shoujo with a male protagonist.

Shounen: Again!!, Black Butler, D. Gray Man, Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha, Kekkaishi, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Noragami, Pandora Hearts, Silver Spoon and Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun

Seinen: Blue Period, Eniale & Dewiela, ES: Eternal Sabbath, It Takes Two Tomorrow Too and Saint Young Men

Shoujo with a male protagonist: Behind the Scenes!!, Dictatorial Grimoire, Don't Call It Mystery, Embalmer, God Child, Mermaid Boys, NG Life, No. 6, Pet Shop of Horrors, Play it Cool Guys, Train * Train and Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty

I think this is it for this month.

Just showing off my semi new display.

if anyone had any good recommendations for a bookshelf that isn't as deep please send it my way! and im not a big fan of double stacking. im in (Australia) if that makes a difference.

but hope you all enjoy :):)

These plastic covers come in most manga sizes for US and Japan. Easy to apply and cheap. I get mines from cdjapan.com

My first post here. I've been a collector since 2004 but having breaks once in a while and that's why since of my series are incomplete. I collect mostly RomCons but also some adventure.

hi everyone, I am wondering if the yellow spots on the manga are likely to be mold or foxing?

I was asked by my friend to share my manga collection on here. I’ve recently started collecting manga back in December 2025, and it’s just kinda become a new hobby for me!

Interested in the series but i want the hardcover, someone said it was a limited release or sum?

If anyone knows, do lmk

troco minha família pela coleção completa 🙏

D. Gray-man - Shounen, female author.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun - Shounen. Lots of references to Shoujo manga, and has a female author.

Dragon Voice - Shounen, female author.

Harlem Beat - Shounen, female author.

Chobits - Seinen, female authors.

D.N.Angel - Shoujo, male protagonist.

My Love Story!! - Shoujo, male protagonist.

Fairy Tail Zero - Shounen, female protagonist.

Just realized I could have included Chrono Crusade as well. Oops!

I'm interested in checking out Mushishi and Tokyo Babylon after hearing great things about both titles. They sound like similar in premise, but I'm a sucker for collected manga editions of older series.

I'm a big fan of Kino's Journey, so I hear that Mushishi is similar in it's episodic nature and musings on the beautiful world. While Tokyo Babylon is from CLAMP, from whom I greatly enjoyed Magic Knight Rayearth, so I'm intrigued by what could come from this premise.

Also I'm really happy Barnes expanded and updated their Gunpla/Gundam Prize selections! 😊

Recently picked up the second volume of kodansha’s release of dragon head and holy shit this cover is atrocious. I thought the first volume was kind of ugly, but this is on a whole new level. The colors are horrible, the picture is weird, I really don’t know what they were thinking. This seriously looks like a badly printed bootleg copy even though it isn’t. By far the worst book cover I’ve ever seen. That‘s it, just needed to rant about this.

In honor of the Fire Force anime ending the other day

My only complaint is I don't have proper home for these since im out of space for manga😭🙏

I'm halfway there on Soul Eater, and then ill probably go on the hunt for getting all paperback copies of the entire series.

Fun fact I've never finished Soul Eater. Reading through it now is my first ever time experiencing this story!
