What's the point of spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on physical manga? Do people really read them again and again?

What's the point of doing anything?

What's the point of such deep shelves?

look at this shelflet
bet you have short arms too

I just like touching things with my hands

You support the Anime industry when you buy the physical manga.

Japanese manga only cost 100-200 yen if you get it at a used book store. Buying licensed manga is for fools.

but chances are the manga that i actually want are never available at the used book store

You can buy them used on amazon.jp

For loaning out to people. I notice my friends are way more likely to read something I recommend when I physically hand them a book.
That's why you guys do this stuff, right? To make it easy to share?

Of course I do. I love grabbing a one piece volume to re-check something here and there. Having all of them at arms reach is really good.

that's a good idea, though i'm worried about ordering stuff online these days because of the stuff that's been going on with USPS

Why do I always see the same titles in every shelf collection?

I tried this before, people always returrn it with one stain or with a corner bent. And never in the Cover I lent it out with.

That looks like a cheap generic shelving unit, not a bookcase.

Because OP. If you go digital, there is no guarantee your device or the website you bought from will always be around. If actually buy it physically you have it no matter what and it can be replaced IF damage or otherwise.

why would you buy tankobon for unfinished manga?

The postal service has been in a perpetual state of chaos for over 30 years.

Manga is the only form of entertainemnt I pay for, Id like to imagine if they ever ban Anime and Manga that Id at least have the physical copy as an act of deffiance.
Trrutthfully, I just like the idea as mentioned by this user .

mangafags don't actually like reading (no one does let's be honest) they just buy popular shit to circlejerk with other mangafags about how superior their taste is

stacking in 2 layers

Ordered the first 3 Berserk Deluxe Editions today. Have read all of Berserk twice over already.

Absolutely disgusting.

good luck having enough space after a couple of years

I collected stuff back then when internet reading wasn't such a thing, yet.

art fans have books of original size art

Dedicating an entire room on the lowest floor of your house to mobile shelving is far more dignified.

>not having a dedicated library room
pleb

>not just buying a 64gb kindle, downloading manga as AZW3 to keep it small as possible and build an entire library of finished work on a portable device that you can carry with you and read anytime you want

if i'm trying to bring something up in a conversation it'll be much easier to just flip though pages until i find what i want, instead of clicking on multiple chapters and scrolling through it all. especially if it's minor shit that gets casually brought up.
>do people really read it over and over again
maybe once every year or so.

Space to doublestack, protects from sun bleaching, you could put figures and plushes on it to add charm.

digital manga has not been part of our lives for more than a decade you filthy zoomer
