Sale discounts for new manga in US:
Rightstuf holiday sales: 50% off. Only for select series, but includes popular titles like Berserk and Jump stuff.
Barnes & Noble buy 2 get 1 free: ~33% off. Often you can get more than 33% with additional coupons and some volumes aren't at retail price to begin with, BUT you have to play around with the numbers because they take the cheapest things as free.
Rightstuf publisher sales: 33% off.
Rightstuf non-sale: 25% off. They often give out 5~10% off coupons with orders, which can lower this more.
There are also other retailers like instocktrades which give 40% off regularly, ebay for used stuff with relatively common coupons (going up to 20% off), and Amazon where volumes go for 50% off randomly (for example, Grand Blue Dreaming vol. 2 right now).
Canada has Indigo, which goes up to >50% off: detailed sales info
Thanks! Here’s the link to the bookshelf just a basic one off of amazon! Got it because it matches my desk pretty well South Shore 4-Shelf Storage Bookcase, Pure Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VECNTE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_L2PPCbN4M733G
I try to keep it somewhat neat and clean lol
It's by Amazune Ryuta who is very prolific. I read halfway through it with English scanlation and finished with Korean one because the English scanlation stopped midway. And decided to buy it because it was a very good series. Same thing with Tsukikage Baby. It has an active scanlation but is only about halfway through.
From what I can tell the lorem ipsum seems to be used for the ebook version whereas the other one is used for the print edition. Compare for instance the Amazon ebook cover to the paperback cover, and it seems to be the same on other sites.
Not really sure what this is, but I found it on amazon Canada after searching for a few seconds (crazy price though) https://www.amazon.ca/Sundome-Vol-6-Kazuto-Okada/dp/0316077321
Looks like you can get it used for 61 and 25 for vol 7
I got them from Amazon. Here is a link to the bundle with the 3. It’s out of stock but you can look at the company and the may sell the singles.

Atlantic Oskar - They're technically media shelves but work great for manga/small paperbacks in general. They're adjustable + aren't super deep like regular bookshelves so they save a lot of space.
I have two of the 25" x 54" models and they can hold about 240 volumes each.
Get yourself a hygrometer and see where the humidity is at in the room you keep your manga in, if you don't already have a way to measure it. 35-50% would be an ideal target to keep the room.
If you're above that, you can control the humidity with air conditioning, or get yourself a dehumidifer. Not necessarily that one exactly, you'll want to get one that's sized appropriately for the room you're in. You should be all set after that.
A dehumidifier is likely going to be essential for you, and an air conditioner will help a ton.
Get a hygrometer and a dehumidifier, and keep the humidity below 50%. Don't bag your manga if you live in a humid climate! If you can keep the humidity under 50%, your books will be fine.
Yeah. Here’s a link so that you guys can see the cover :)
If you don't have an Ikea near you to buy the Billy Shelves then you can also buy media shelves (they have less depth so you don't have the manga pushed really far to the back)! I used the Atlantic shelves from Amazon for a while before I upgraded to these! I will link them here!

I have just started down the manga black hole but I found. https://alibris.com/ To have good prices on a lot of manga. $39 free shipping if you buy from them. I have only received 1 package from them so far could be better packed but no damage. Also since I discoved them they have had a different 10-15$ off $100 coupon each week.
Just a warning free shipping didn't show up until after you put in billing info ie after go to paypal and before you submit order.
Thanks for the tip but I'm never going to use adlibris again, have used it a few times but have ended up waiting weeks and the worse and last time 1 month and 2 weeks. Seems to happen to lots of ppl om trustpilot as well https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.adlibris.com

This one worked the same as those ones. This fits your standard size manga to the classroom of the elite light novels. Shield hero too fat for this specific one. Check for different quantity cause the one I linked was 1000pcs lol
it’s definitely one of my favorites, too! it was the first one i started collecting, i watched the anime first and fell in love with it. can’t wait until i can complete it!
thank you, i got it off amazon! it was surprisingly easy to put together and affordable so i definitely recommend it, i’ll post a link to it below!

specifically those ones. found i can stuff 2-3 books in 'em pretty easily (though it took some trial and error to figure out what was easiest)
Amazon says October 26, 2021, but I suppose with the plague, any release date is technically subject to change.
I am not sure if it is a big hardcover. All I see online is the cover art, and Amazon's site says "7 x 10 inches". However, Amazon is notorious for having incorrect dimensions on unreleased manga (and even books in general).
Thank you
Well, the only thing I got left at this point is they have it on Amazon but it cost up to $800 so yeah if you got a fat stack of cash on you right now is a good time to flex
I use this and it is amazing. It even gets finger prints off of darker volumes like the Death Note Black editions!
I believe most people do use magazine bags like these
I’m using some leftover scrapbooking bags from Mom, but they pretty much the same thing but bigger. I was able to do two books with one bag, look around for what’s best for you.
Edit- also if you need to use tape use something gentle like washi tape.

I buyed it on Amazon, but you can also buy it on Altraverse !!
No, Hellsing is not complete in the hardcovers. The last hardcover comes out on 15 June 2021, which IMO, is not too far away.
I like this Gou Tanabe "series" (only 2 books). If you're in the U.S., I don't think that price is fair, though. It should be $14-15 USD.
Sure, here's the link : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KW0BDI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_GJCBAEEYYMC34XFR6C4N

theres a boxset of 4 on amazon for $26, normally its $43 so i’d say its a good deal. its the first 1-4 volumes which is what you were looking for, heres the link: attack on titan 1-4 boxset

https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Girl-Apocalypse-Vol-11/dp/1626924538

This is a copy and paste of a comment I left on another similar post a while back:
I use two of these mini dehumidifiers in my manga room and keep the door closed so that they can handle the small space. These don't use power to work, but when the color meter has changed, you plug them into a well ventilated area to remove the moister. I plug them into the bathroom outlet and turn on the ventilation fan for that. They create heat while plugged in, so I don't recommend leaving the house while it's plugged in though!!!

Atlantic Drawbridge Media Storage Cabinet - Store & Organize A Mix of Media 240Cds, 108DVDs Or 132 Blue-Ray/Video Games, Adjustable Shelves, PN37935726 in Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058O8F7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_XzgUFb0RV0PMZ these are actually the exact ones I bought. I got them for around $28 each so I would definitely wait for a sale as I can’t really recommend for the current price.
Every talking about the shelves (although they are nice) but we gotta respect this mans taste in manga! What’s your favorite of them?
Btw I’m pretty sure they are these shelve
I love the aesthetic! Very clean.
If you like Berserk, you should check out Claymore! It has a Box-set on sale on Amazon right now for $128! This has been the best deal for it on Amazon I've found in a while, I just picked it up myself.
Have you tried Amazon Japan? I had a quick look and I think this is the complete set in omnibus form https://www.amazon.co.jp/拳児全11巻完結-ワイド版-マーケットプレイス-コミックセット-藤原/dp/B002CZPLGY/
Well, both the picture here and the Amazon page say First Publishing, so that's where I got that.
Yep Billy Bookshelves with 2 extra shelves. I was going to get the top extensions as well but it was like 1-2 inches too tall for my office ceilings :( The black things are just book ends. I bought the through Amazon I'll give you the link below.

I didn't want to drill holes so I got wireless puck lights I see they are out of stock but you'll be able to find similar ones
Actually here is the link. here
This does not include other editions, such as the paperback edition of Barefoot Gen, Town of Evening, and Pure Trance.
I might try to go for the older Gen publications to have the original covers.
Also this October Last Gasp publishes Heaven's Door by Keiich Koike! https://www.amazon.com/Heavens-Door-Extra-Keiichi-Koike/dp/0867198818
Put down newsprint in the box so the books never actually touch the plastic. Helps avoid mold growth from the page side if you put the spine side up and avoids the shiny covers from sticking to the plastic walls.
This is where I bought Assassination Classroom. You also get extra things if you buy the box set!

only $30 (CAD). i got it at eb games but it's also on amazon
I got these off Amazon for $70 each.
Thanks!!
I found them on eBay and managed to get them both for £30.
I managed to find one of them on amazon for you:

The middle book on the bottom ("Heart of Chronos") is the sixth volume of the series Bio-Booster Armor Guyver. You can see the series title on the spine and just above the word "Heart" on the cover. It used to be that books would get individual titles and not always have the volume number obviously on the cover.
The franchise is commonly just called Guyver, and Viz released the first seven books back in the '90s. Because even the most recent volume is from '98, it's not a common find nowadays and most of the books are pretty expensive secondhand.
Here's the Amazon listing for the one I picked up: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1569312052?tag=anime0ab-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
If you're unfamiliar with Guyver, it's a sci-fi action kinda-superhero story. The Guyver is basically the suit and is similar in concept to Migi in Parasyte or Spider-Man's Venom, except the thing that merges with the main character is robotic-based and escaped from a lab. It also had a couple US live action movies in the '90s (one theatrically released starring Mark Hamill and one straight to VHS).
The lucky cost me over 2 years of rather intense studying so it's not without cost :D.
Yes, all of the volumes seem to be available on the Japanese Amazon. They're not exactly cheap, considering single volumes go for ~450-500 yen. There is also the 20% tax on imports from Japan T.T.
I can check a local bookstore with Japanese manga, maybe they have it so I can check how hard it is in general. Here's the first volume and you can try going through the first pages (icon above the book pic) for free. It has furigana.
>For language I can only read in English unfortunately :c
Mmm this might be a little more problematic. I've never heard of the series, but I know Gangan Comics. They published Full Metal Alchemist.
Would you be able to read it in Japanese if it had furigana?
I saw this listing on the Japanese Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%9D%92%E6%98%A5%C3%97%E6%A9%9F%E9%96%A2%E9%8A%83-%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF-1-15%E5%B7%BB%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-%EF%BC%AE%EF%BC%A1%EF%BC%AF%EF%BC%A5/dp/B07HWSJ8S6/ref=sr\_1\_23?crid=1D8AFKS3ZVDLK&keyw...
Well my room is designed very weirdly and I’m prob going to be moving so I can’t really choose that many and so so far my options were either
The Billy set https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/billy-bookcase-black-brown-40263848/
Or the Atlantic set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058O8GZY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1&psc=1
sorry for the wait, but i did actually find them!
I'm confused. Are you referring to this set?
If you don't want to pay that much on Amazon (and I don't blame you), my best suggestion is to try Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Mercari. There are new listings up nearly every day on those sites.
But honestly, there is already a box set for 1-14 for $119 USD if you're in the U.S., which is why there aren't "6-10 packs" being sold. You might actually save money by selling your 1-5 and getting the whole series box set when it comes back in stock, beause if you have 1-5 already and each volume is $10 on RS, you would be paying $90 for the singles. If you sold your 1-5's for $8 each, you'd earn $40. If you sold those for $40 and bought the box set for $120, you'd be paying $80 for the box set instead of $90 for the remaining volumes. Hope that makes sense?
That’s the “Fully Compiled” edition omnibus which contains all three volumes in one big chonker. It got pushed back from November to January.
This is the box set with all three books that has been available for a couple of years now (2017). I think the box set is the version to get, the fully compiled edition will clock in at nearly 900 pages.
Thanks :) I'd say about 9:1 Korean to English. And used this one
I have 2 of these:
and one of the smaller size ones.
The ones I got are sold out and they were like $18 for 5. These are the closest I can find but they are a little more.
Used to do a Google doc but it devolved it's to chaos. Currently scanning in and keeping track via bookshelf app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bookshelf.prod
Hasn't been any hard limits to how many you can scan in. And it runs fairly smooth. Can organize via shelves plus theres a batch scan in option which I use all the time.
I haven't bought one to see how effective it is myself but I plan on getting this pencil case since it looks like it can fit up to fiveish Signature Viz volumes
Would a manga fit into one of those hard pencil cases or maybe something similar?
Or maybe like a lunch box?
Hey man, if you want to point at where I can pick this up to pair with my vol 1 box rather than buying the individual volumes within, which are all readily available for purchase, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sailor-Moon-Box-Set-Vol/dp/1612623972
If you're super desperate you can get this and get rid if the rest.
This is the Omake book. The only con about it is that you have to go in between books to be able to read them chronologically as they released, and there's no indicator of which volume they belong to. Other than that, it solves the Fullmetal edition problem and is the best way to read the story.

Thanks! I bagged them in a bit of an unorthodox way, bags specifically for manga were hard to find at the time so I got a bunch of these and an impulse sealer haha it was a pain but all the bags are a "perfect" fit. The bags are also slipped over the top instead of the bottom and I used a lighter to melt the top/front corners back, it seems to be a bit less noticeable.
There are lots of app suggestion posts posted here already that should give you some choices depending on what you like to use it for.
I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metosphere.bookfree
I'm sure there's lots of better options out there, but I've been using it for over 10 years and I like it just fine. I like that it's free, I can customize the titles, and there's no limit to how items many you can add.
so actually these seem to be the turtleback school and library edition. i found this amazon listing for vol. 1 and as you can see it sells for a decent amount as a collector’s item. but as others in the thread have pointed out, better editions exist these days, so the only people who would really be interested in these are hardcore collectors.
If you live in Canada, Chapters/Indigo has it online. Amazon has some copies for $30 if you don't mind paying a few extra dollars for it. I also recommend pre-ordering the others too. You not only get your copies secured, but you also show the publishers that there is still more demand for the books to keep them in print. Hope this helps!
Here is the link, it’s from Amazon. I have looked other places for it as well, but this was the only place. Thank you so much for this!
I think it's fake. I tried searching the ISBN and this should be the US Version.
The main difference between this and the real one on the spine, like:
Also the design on the back of the volume is not full white like this, it's a bit grey with a white square on logo and barcode.
I put here the Amazon Link for the real one so you can see the difference by yourself
