You must read so much! do you have a my anime list or anilist account where you log your reading data / write reviews? (would love to see your thoughts on my fav shonen jump titles)
I'd really like to hear your thoughts on best to worst for the finished/cancelled series in the Shonen Jump line. Lots of those series don't seem to be talked much about anymore.
Congrats! I feel that. I've put a list together of all my nostalgic series and have been on a hunt for each series that meant something to me as a kid, up to when I stopped trying to collect, just before undergrad. I'm in my 30s now and recently started picking things up again. So that feeling of getting caught up is also there. Thanks for sharing your collecting exp.
First off congrats man, that is one hell of a collection. Im close to 700 volumes right now but I always think about when I have my own house in the future that I hope I can have a library as good as yours. Keep up the great content, as for videos I want to see... Besides the ones you mentioned probably a top ten most under rated, I think that would be an interesting one.
This is legit my childhood. I used to have my dad buy me these shonen jump when I was in middle school and I was always just reading the ones I knew too. Like Hikaru no go and yugioh. Man this is truly truly a feat. So happy someone out there have gone out and did this. So happy seeing all these together like this!
Great achievement. Congrats. I have few questions. 1. There must be many SJ series that haven't been translated yet. Do you plan on collecting those Japanese volumes? Have you ever thought about collaborating and working with Viz media to get some of those series translated? 2. During your collecting journey for SJ titles, which series you thought that if it wasn't for this SJ line. I wouldn't have collected ( this is not say this manga were bad, just not to your liking) 3. Since your collection have a lot of monetary values, do you have insurance for these? If yes, any specific advice regarding these. 4. If it wasn't SJ line, would you have done this similar project for any other line? Why yes or no? 5. Do you see your collecting journey changing as you grow older? If yes, how and why? 6. What are your fears regarding this manga collecting journey. 7. If you would have unlimited budget and were requested to create an anime adaptation for any series ( regardless of the existing anime) what would your top 5 be in SJ line, and what top 5 outside the SJ line? There are many more but I think this will suffice for now. Haha.
There is no way he can collect all of them. The magazine started in 1968 and has seen hundreds of series, if not over a thousand. Some of these are barely over 10 chapters in 2 volumes with tiny, tiny print runs. If he's lucky, he might find a Japanese collector who did it and is willing to sell their collection. Otherwise I see no way of this happening.
@@JesusInStripeZ and if someone has that collection unless it's like a hand me down of a hand me down he probaly will not be willing to sell it or donate it
When I get older I wanna have a Manga Collection . Like a whole Room for Manga like in Detective Conan , Yusako Kudo has a Book Room. Since I was a little kid that was my dream and still is.
Speaking of feeling your inner kid after buying these manga, I felt the same. I had gotten rid of my manga after high school and in the past couple of years started rebuying. Buying the books by CLAMP I used to have made me so happy inside.
No matter how many other types of manga people read they almost always go back to SJ. They really do have the best titles and the the ones that bring back your childhood. Can't mess with the classics. There are also a lot of great new SJ titles in this new gen of manga. Im really enjoying collecting all these new titles and trying to fill in all the old ones.
Just because I don’t see many others who have the series, I think it’d be interesting to hear you talk about Ultimate Muscle. It got a sequel series that was also pretty lengthy and that’s not even including the original Kinnikuman series or it’s 2011 follow up. It’s a shame we never got the tag team series, but I think it’s amazing Viz didn’t cancel the original Ultimate Muscle during it’s first run. Volumes for that nowadays are crazy high.
Ultimate muscle has a sequel series?? What’s it called never heard of it but I love ultimate muscle. And yea the prices for that series are out the question sadly
@@Zokaru Yeah, it's called "Kinnikuman II Sei: Kyūkyoku no Chōjin Tag-hen", but some fans just call it the Chojin Tag Team series. It started up right after Ultimate Muscle's Japanese run and lasted from 2004-2011. Lasted a hefty 28 volumes too. By the time Viz released volume 29 of the first Ultimate Muscle series it had fallen into obscurity in the US. The anime had been off the air for a while and Namco Bandai stopped localizing the games.
@@vaughngief7698 damn I never knew that. I’m still trying to get thru the original before I re read ultimate muscle so I guess I’ll have even more to get thru to catch up completely lol
Dude, I just got recommended this video (never seen you before). I lauged OUT LOUD at your intro. I can't wait to watch this whole video and dig into your channel. Subbed!
Would be interested in hearing you showing your shojo collection, as a collector that seems to collect more shonen, and explaining why they stood out to you enough to collect!
This made me cry! 😢❤ I totally relate to how you feel and what those manga have meant to you throughout your life. It is like you said, you can resonate with these characters, despite the strange worlds they're in. They go through things and have to overcome things or don't and it is all-consuming. Growing up, I didnt realy have friends that had the same interest as me, so reading manga almost felt like a guilty pleasure because I felt I was the only one. The internet back then was not how it is now. So I'm grateful that you're here making these videos. Thank you. And congratulations on reaching this milestone.
Uggh, I think this has inspired me to really kick it into gear to achieve my goal of collecting all of the Vertical Comics manga. I love their series and single releases so much having all of them like this would be so amazing.
I have gone though and obtained every monthly shonen jump from 2003-2012. I do recommend you do the same I grew up with these magazines but I wasn’t able to get them when they released. They look great on a shelf covers are awesome too. I obtained mine 2 years ago though lots and auctions off of eBay.
I can deeply understand you. I'm from Germany and the German version of Shonen Jump was called "BANZAI". Once the magazine was discontinued I collected all of the manga volumes and now my collection is complete. It was really tough as a lot of them were already out of print. Especially "Yu-Gi-Oh!" was sooo expensive😭 but it was worth every cent.
I remember hearing about Monthly Shonen Jump and going with my grandfather one day after school and finding a copy of Volume 1/Issue 6 at K-Mart. I read and re-read it so often, it was like nothing else to me at the time. I remember loving the little preview chapters that they had for Dr. Slump so much that I went out of my way to pre-order it at Books-A-Million, first and last time I ever did that.
That’s a really impressive collection, I’m working on one as well. Mostly collecting the series I enjoy first, then expand from there. I’m abit interested to know more about Beet and Claymore.
This might sound dumb but for some reason this was the comment that triggered me to really see what I have in my house for what it is. I had like a ratatouille moment and was brought back to my body 20 years ago and imagined the reaction that he would have had to seeing this, and it was one of pure wonder and amazement. I hope you have the great day you deserve.
Here's some random questions I thought of as I watched (a great video btw!). Some might support a video, others might just support a segment of a larger video. Definitely feel free to use or re-work any of these if they spark some inspiration! - What defines a Shonen Jump series? What is it that they have in common? Which series are the biggest outliers that break the mold? What trends did you notice? - Favorite Discovery or Biggest Surprise: Among the series you collected that you'd never read and maybe weren't originally interested in, which ones did you really like? - Best by Length: What are your favorite series that only ran a short time; defining short as, say, 5 volumes or less, or maybe 10 volumes or less? What about your favorite mid-length, or long-runners? This could also be a place where you could provide some stats on how many series hit various milestones by volume count, and see what the average or median is. - Volume Design: What are the most interesting looking volumes? Which have the best covers, the best spines? Whatever topics you end up covering, I'll be here for it!
Reading a tankobon and opening a booster pack are two insanely nostalgic and visceral feelings for me :) as a kid I was obsessed with how yuyu hakusho and shaman king were all black with different color logos
I saw the first three volumes of Prince of Tennis at a used bookstore for $3 a pop. Having seen your videos, I snagged em. Would love to hear your thoughts on the series.
this is an INCREDIBLY COOL collection. it's also a great reference for me personally!! i'm a new fan of Jump and still haven't figured out what all is a classic & what all's been translated into english, so I will absolutely use this video as a reference for that.
Dude this is amazing. I’ve been into anime since the late 90s watching various shows on Toonami, but I only recently got into reading manga. This is a helluva collection my man. Congrats.
Your collection is a dream for every manga/anime/collector fan! I would love see this collection in my life even if for once it would be a eyesight of blessing.
Want to be completely honest dude I keep my hat off of you I'm smiling ear-to-ear this was one of the first media's I got into when I was back in my high school Shoring Jump magazine
I would be interested in seeing what other Jump or Jump+/Shueisha titles that are released thru other companies such as Seven Seas/Ghost Ship or Yen Press, etc. I know Seven Seas has quite a few but I learned of at least one Yen Press got their hands on.
That’s awesome! I actually started my manga journey in a similar way- with the Shojo Beat magazine. I kind of want to collect the shojo titles from viz now…
Fantastic video. Your passion for the Shonen Jump line is infectious and I always learn something to use for my own collecting whenever I watch one of your videos. Thanks for doing this!
Collection of Treasure! This is one of my dreams, library of manga in my room like yours! I always think it's impossible, but seeing someone like you do this, makes my dream possible. Thank you and Congrats Man! 💖💪🎉👏
Oh my God how funny is that! You've been looking for I''s whilst I've been trying to sell all of my volumes of I''s lmoa. Still have them too... Glad to see you've got everything though, you love to see it!
This collection is fantastic!! Then I realized that anytime a new book comes out for any series, you have to slide LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE BOOK DOWN!!! God damn the amount of effort needed...
Wow awesome freaking collection!! I can totally relate with what you said about One Piece. Volume 1 of One Piece was my first manga ever as well and it’s also the reason as to why I started being more open to watching different anime and reading different manga. Because of that I now have all sorts of Viz/SJ manga such as jjk, demon slayer, dbz, naruto, etc. I am in awe of your collection I hope I can have a collection as big as yours one day 😁
Congratulations on completing the collection! Looking to do the same down the line! Can’t wait to see your collection continue to grow in the future! Keep it up!
I had a big smile on my face when you collected all the volumes for Shaman King in Shonen Jump. I only have most of the Kodansha Omnibus volumes. And I'm planning on getting Shaman king Omnibus 13-15 for Christmas.
I just started collecting manga! I got Hunter X Hunter vol 1, One Piece Vol 1 and Chainsaw man vol 1 for Christmas! I got myself a three stage shelf, I've also already bought the box set 1 for Bleach and One Piece! I can't believe how beautiful mangas look!
There are so many things I want to say about Shonen Jump, but if I did it would just be one 30 page essay posted in this comment section. No media brand will ever be as reliable to me when it comes to providing amazing stories.
Congratulations on obtaining every title under the Viz JUMP line! That's amazing to see every title there in one room! Since you mentioned it, I'm curious if you'll be interested in talking about Video Girl Ai! I've been looking into wanting to hear about, but it weirdly doesn't get as much love that Zetman and I"s get. Hopefully we'll hear more about that series and just Katsura himself when you have the time! Again Congratulations!
8:03 (: i have vol 1-2, 5 & 10-11 of Gintama, vol 1 of Strawberry 100% and soon going to start looking for Reborn! volumes. makes me happy that you mentioned all 3 of these titles. you’re cool, man haha.
I have started slowly collecting manga again and the first one I chose to start with is Undead Unluck since I liked the series enough to start dipping into collecting it. That collection of yours is very impressive. I hope to someday have a collection that strong.
I started with shonen jump when my mom got my the first 2 volumes of Yugioh for Christmas in 2004. From there I got my first volume of the monthly magazine from my schools Scholastic Book Fair in 2005. Still got the magazines on my shelf, and my only monthly subscription to it during the last year of their serialization I got 11/12 magazines, missing 1 because the big tsunami hit Japan that month. Now I am an adult with a big collection and trying to figure out how I want to organize them all
