Hi PromG! How do you keep updated on new or upcoming releases, especially for Shoujo manga? I was curious how you found out about Red River getting another iteration!
I am VERY new to Manga. Literally bought Solo Leveling volume 1 on the weekend to break me in with a book that reads left to right and is in colour. I have a decent sized collection of graphic novels which are predominantly superheroe based and I recently got in to buying single issues so that isn't going away any time soon. Thanks for this list. I've heard Astra on a few lists, so it's on mine and definitely plan to get Akira and also Ghost In The Shell. Planetes is new to me and I love sci-fi which is what most novels have been that I read. Thanks again
Why you collect manga it just gathers dust and no one else can read it...? collecting is just such a low effort passion... You're just a consumer... Art was meant to be enjoyed in community and shared and passed around ... Manga should be available in libraries... .
The fact that it was published in a erotic magazine really puts in a even weirder spot. Imagine you open the playboy and there is a comic that shows kids with erected genitals having sex.
When i hear Crunchyroll buying Rightstuff, i was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! well, i dont care much i buying my mangas from Wordery and Amazon. Oh i did brought Aria the Masterpiece (reprint), from Right Stuff, love it!! My biggest treasure in my little manga collection.
Dude I was skeptical of Dead Dead Demon when you showed the cover art, but the panel with the spaceship looming over the city hooked me, huge District 9 vibes. Definitely giving this one a try
I like the berserk deluxe editions but i didn't have the singles before hand. I have the vinland 2 in 1 hardcovers and im not upgrading those for the deluxe editions. I love vagabond and depending how those deluxe editions turn out i might get those

I agree 100%, I always make it a point to get the singles whenever possible. I'm glad most people like deluxes, I like the bigger pages too, but I do not like holding a 600 page behemoth up (despite working out!) or reading it off the table like it's some law book. I feel like a lot of the identity of the series gets lost in the more generic covers of the deluxe editions. For example, the VizBigs for Dragon Ball are so stock, they just have Goku on every volume lol. Speaking of stock, the Berserk ones are really annoying to me (especially because everybody and their mother has them). I have seen video comparisons between them and the singles and have even flipped through them at a local store, and I can say with confidence that, no, I do not prefer how it looks in the deluxe edition. The art feels oversized, while the singles are compact + I do like the yellow-ish tint of the singles, it makes them look like a graphic by Durer or something. I do have some Jojo hardcovers because 1) there are no singles 2) there are not huge. But like you said, it's so much cooler when you see a dude who has the Stardust Crusaders singles.
Lesgoo fugging gooooo!!! I'm feeling so happy rn my feed is healing itself from brainrot shits. I'm finally getting these cool vids from underrated creators like you. Keep going brah 💪 💛
I personally hate soft covers a lot, the books can’t be left flat so any dual page arts are 25% lost because its inside and you can’t force it to be open otherwise the binding will shatter fast+ the cover will not ‘cover your manga’ ironic right? It will be adapted to the format where its open and then the quality of the cover itself will be wack. Longevity of hardcover edition is-in fact- superior, if you are going to invest it better be a well made investment with high quality for your favourite series. If I could I want every edition to be at least hardcovered. I love a large format because it provides more details, but that’s subjective. Waiting for One-punch man & dragon ball to get this treatment but viz doesn’t do anything, I was shocked that they made a hardcover edition to fist of north star.
As of now, I’ve been reading Rave Master and it’s pretty fun ngl. Just got the first volume of Buddha and the first omnibus of xxxHolic today so I’m super excited to read those.
Best manga ive read this summer is definitely Inuyashiki, that series blew my expectations out of the water(This is coming from someone who hasnt read Gantz)
