Easily over 1000 original Japanese mangas, a few English ones. Of course I've been a collector for almost 25 years now. bigrazz


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)... laugh



I'm not bragging, just stating a fact biggrin

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.

I have 336. Though I'm selling at least half of my collection. A lot of my collection I don't read anymore so it's just taking up space. I also have a scanlation group and I need to make room for the Japanese manga & phonebook magazines.

I have around 350 volumes, mostly in Korean. Here, manhwa/manga is cheap, about 3-4$ per volume.

I have over 100 gigs on the computer + hds (prob closer to 300+ gigs I dunno). Not included doujinshi. I have over 200 volumes. I generally only buy the works I really like and know I'll read again.

If all graphic novels are included (not only manga/manwha) I have close to 500 I guess. biggrin cool

At last count, about 850 or so volumes. Of that, only 50 or so are manga that I regret buying (don't enjoy reading/re-reading) so I think I did a fairly good job. Been collecting for 7 or so years now, and when I buy, I buy to keep (no matter how crappy).

Very little on my HD, only 60 gigs or so given to me by a friend, but have only read about 2-3 gigs of that. It's just not the same reading manga without holding it in my hands.

I just passed the 200 volumes, most of it is English and some of it is Dutch. Even a few Japanese ones.. Plus, I barely have anything I regret buying ^^

Two volumes of Skip Beat, MeruPuri vol. 1, and five issues of Shojo Beat. I'm working on it. Unfortunately I lack cash.

"waste of my time" lol. Are your parents related to my dad? He outlawed fiction a couple of years ago, before manga came to our attention. If he knew how much of my time goes to manga, he'd have a heart attack. Thank goodness my mum's willing to go around him...possibly because she's addicted to novels herself. Bokutachi ga shiawase na desu. bigrazz

About 130 english volumes. My collection has grown considerably since I finally found a cheap/reliable site to buy them from, god bless internet shopping, since there aren't that many high street retailers that stock manga.

If it's not something I'm going to want to re-read, I sell it, and then use the money to buy more manga~ laugh

If I had unlimited money & space, I'd probably keep everything, but since I don't, I don't. Well, I do keep all the downloaded manga, but that takes up SO much less space...and getting rid of it won't bring in money to buy more manga... ;)

I own 9 volumes of manga (once my amazon order gets delivered)-not much, but considering I bought 8 of 'em this week (yay for sales!) I technically started the collection Monday, so I don't think my haul is too bad. Plan to update as soon as the new volume of Nosatsu Junkie comes out-when I'll probably also pick up other stuff 'cause yay free shipping.


The other one was a birthday gift, and it's the one I don't particularly care for. (My friend messed up Semiedan and Sandman-I wanted the Sandman, got the old school manga with an art style I don't like.)
