Easily over 1000 original Japanese mangas, a few English ones. Of course I've been a collector for almost 25 years now.
I just started about 5 or maybe 6 years ago. I hope to be able to brag like that in 20 more years (and lots of storage space later)...
I'm not bragging, just stating a fact
I used to have a larger collection but I donated a few hundred issues to a local college's Japanese language class, let people borrow stuff and hear about how they "lost" them, not checking up on people who visit and excuse themselves for "just a moment". Now I'm like a dragon and his hoard.
I also have computer scantalations that I don't include in my count. It helps with translating but it's just not the same as holding an aging, yellow copy of Urusei Yatsura volume 1.
