I have about 100 volumes, not to mention every Shojo Beat magazine up until 1/08. I also always buy OEL manga, because they really don't earn enough. 37123v

Well, I'd really buy manga if I could. It's just that I also pay for my school's miscellaneous fees so I really can't save much money. 😢 I do try to buy manga that are on sale though! 🙄

can't say i've ever bought any manga before......it would have to be something i thought was extremely good one of my favorites....although i have bought an anime before, i bought Samurai X: Trust and Betrayel on dvd like 6years ago, it was my favorite anime at the time....still one of my favorites actually, i'd say it was worth it....but i do plan on buying Hajime no Ippo sometime in the future....how much does 1 volume usually cost anyways?

I buy Korean-translated manga and manhwa. It's basically 3.8$ a volume, and for some about 4.2$ a volume, depending on the size and quality.

My collection right now is basically 473 volumes.

Yep, I the scanlations and when they finally 'decide' to release the volume localized and translated, I buy it.

That and I also collect them if it's a series I like. Nowadays since manga is cheaper (I'm Canadian and before the whole difference in purchasing power and that, it'd used to be around $12-15 a volume, compared to American prices plus a 10% discount on my part b/c of my local store). I occasionally will go there and buy a couple of volumes or so.

I have 234 volumes, but will need to find some more manga shelves (it's awesome IKEA has them) and ask for more shifts ><''

I love chapters! It has a fairly good selection of manga, the one I go to anyways... and I buy any manga that looks intriguing!
I find it better to actually own the series because than you can take your manga anywhere! whereas just reading them on the comp ure limited, and well I just like having the manga to read anytime I want, if my comp goes down I cant read manga! 😲 not a way to live... Ill it it can b overwhelming when ure collecting more than one series at a time but its worth it!! Long live physical manga that I can actually hold!!!

i dont currently own any. but i well probaly start buying some of the ones i like

also makes it easier to make my real life friends read them when i just give them the manga instead of telling them to find it on onemanga or some similar site

I actually do own manga...I preffer buying it since I help the mangaka earn money and become happy with it making her/him make some more manga. >3
I have a long long manga list that I'll buy, but most of the time I buy manga I know its good since I've read a few chapters of it online or through my friends, but I sometimes like to just give it a try to something new based on the art, the summary plot and the plot of the first few pages.
At the moment, I'm broke(trying to buy a wii) so I don't have money to buy manga since I usually buy at least 1-3 manga whenever I go to the mall, and I tell you I go to the mall a lot. XD
But yeah, I don't like to manga and save it on my computer..since I cannot take it to school, or somewhere else, and I can give my eyes a rest from the screen of my computer. <3
