Buying manga is hard...Especially for this poor 13 year-old boy TT_TT

I have around 3hundred tankoubon..
Well, wait ... I live in indonesia,, I think here is cheaper than in US..
But that's not important,, 😉
I really like to collect manga. 😃
(b'coz of that I get scolded by my family)
I can't satisfy just read it online or download it..
But if the manga can't be found in my country,
what can I do,, I had to download it.. 😔

otona ni natte iku koto to
mujaki na kodomo de iru no wa
docchi ga tsurai koto desu ka?

I buy all the time. Which is one of the reasons why I never have any money. 😢

I have around 50 manga at the moment. I really need to buy more this summer when I can work full time again. Stupid college bills.
I only buy ones that:

a. I've already read and know I want to read again
b. Are decently produced, Quality
c. Not edited.

seriously some manga should never get past quality control. I went to pick up a copy of Penguin Revolution a few months ago and it just felt cheap. The paper was wonky and kind of a gray color rather than white.

"Tu es responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as approvoise." Le Renard en "The Little Prince" Antoine de St. Exupery.

Yeah, I buy and collect manga. (But only if I really like the series.)

yeah, i buy some, but sometimes it's hard to get some money from my 14 year old hands T T

I buy the $0.99 bag of carrots that look like they got run over by a truck rather than ther $1.49 that look normal. I think that answers the question >.>

O.K. I lied the good ones are $1.99

Double dino to micro crimp!!!

I buy it, i like having a hard copy i can read anywhere, and if i had to pring everything out just so i could carry it with me i would probably be spending just as much just from all the ink and paper i would use, so ya i like to buy it.

yeah i buy them. but i buy them according to my interest.
(i'll buy it if i like it)

-PROGLUTION-
今日も、どこかでPROGLUTION。
明日もどこかで、PROGLUTION。
PROGLUTIONっていうのは、
これから始まることのすべてなのかも。

I do...but just those I really love...
And those are:
Mahou Sensei Negima,
Eden,
Planetes,
Tsukihime

And I'm going to buy some others like Yubisaki Milk Tea, Megatokyo (well, it isn't manga though), Claymore, NGE...and if someone publishes Shamo in english language, i'll buy it too...^^

I save my shopping for when there are conventions, sales, coupons, and used bookstores. Heck yeah, I'm cheapo. 😀

I've only been buying manga for a year or so... but I have some 70 volumes of manga and I intend to buy lots more 🙂

This could be compared to the 160+ gb of manga I've managed to download over the past 3 years ^^

When a manga has gone through translation, almost always there is something edited or removed completely. I hate it when that happens. I want to read the way is meant to be, not some edited crap.

I used to buy manga, a couple of years ago.
My collection was probably around 50-80 mangas.
I lost some along the way unfortunately...

Now I just read scanlated/unlicensed manga
and I rarely watch anime anymore.

I don't buy anymore..I spend the money on other stuff.
