My MASSIVE Manga Collection | 2600+ Volumes | Summer 2021 Library Tour 

When you say you have a library at home, and you mean in literal.

This man has more manga than every Barnes and noble in my state

He has more manga than my local Barns & Nobles does 🤭😀

Huge respect for reading most of your manga.

I'm more impressed he managed to read 90 percent of his collection.

Woah! collecting for 20yrs?!! --- We hail you as one of the Western MANGA LORDS! 👏👏👏👏👏😎

That shit's courageous, he's not just being ostentatious I gotta stop displaying my manga like a prop & go turn some pages!

Just packing up my collection to move and damn books are heavy…anyone would think they’re made of wood or something.

This would make me feel bad if a fire burns most of the manga but thats just my anxiety speaking

most awesome collection on youtube - absolute goals

I'm really jealous of how big the books are, because I'm Japanese and most of our manga are small. I guess it does help with the price and space but still.

It’s my dream to get all of this one day. Huge respect

His home library has more books than my actual local library

I'd recommend trying out A Bride's Story. A seinen series about nomadic tribes on the silk road in the 19th century. The art alone is astonishing and the whole series is rendered in immaculate detail (particularly the traditional clothing that the characters wear). It's published in single vol hardcovers by Yen Press

This thing is so damn admirable. Id love to bring friends and guests in and let them chill and read for the day etc.

This home library is bigger than my local barnes and noble

This is an amazing manga collection, I aspire to have this when I’m older!!!

I didn't know there was this much manga published in English. Good to know i won't run out of options to collect. I love manga but I vastly prefer reading it physically. Plus it looks awesome on a shelf.

If you haven't heard of Gintama, Detective Conan aka Case Closed, or Steins;Gate, I suggest you look into those as well. This has to be among the greatest manga collection I've seen. It's like entering a bookstore or something. Library indeed.

Wow! Massive! Black clover! Blue exorcist! D.gray-man!😭 Those collections were 🙌🙌🙌✨

I like the idea of the manga spacer, makes so much sense! Also, would love to see how you decide what goes into the new shelf 👍🏾

Your 90s sitcom-esque intro is and will always be one of my my favorites to watch, thank you for that. It gives me nostalgia but also makes me laugh. Lol

Someone who actually has all of Whistle! You are a rare person

Insane collection! Love the idea of using the shelves as room dividers.

Amazing collection! The dedication is unbelievable

I just wanted to say that watching your collection really made me happy, it helped me visualize what i wanna acomplish with my small collection so far, so thank you for sharing this!! ( also i realize this might already be outdated, but the feeling was the point)

if you haven’t already i recommend picking up this new series called “laughing under the clouds” it’s a sweet tale from the meiji period, definitely a relaxing read.

Love these! Just started reading Manga and you have been an awesome resource 🙂 thank you

I really like how you call it your library! I’ve never thought of calling a collection that and your setup is so cool!

It seems like adding in new volumes and moving series would be a real pain given you don't leave many gaps. How much time do you spend just reorganising your collection?

i swear his video's come out at the exact right time for when i need em

wow, this is amazing! I've been collecting books for pretty much my entire life, but only just got into manga last year and then my boyfriend and I started collecting our favorite manga series just a couple months ago.

Dude awesome library, I’m amazed you have the space for it in your house that’s really cool

Whenever these come out they are the highlight of my month! 😁

Amazing! Beautiful! And just all around awesome collection my friend!

sweet collection and the dedication is unbelievable i can not believe how big your collection is and another great video.

your collection is truly immaculate and an inspiration. Just surpassed my 100 volume mark hopefully one day I can reach this level

This is the first manga collection video where I've seen a manga that I actually own as well, and that is the first volume of Blue Exorcist. I didn't think it would be so difficult to find mutually owned manga, especially from people with such massive collections, but it made me super happy to see this.

that collection is insane dude! keep collecting. ur vids are great

Just wanted to say man, I’ve been watching RU-vid for years as we all have but your video intro is my favorite I’ve ever seen hahahah

This guy is living my dream. Currently around 200 volumes and growing! Once I get a bigger place I'll have more room to get more :) Love your content from TikTok and recently found you here 😁

I've been waiting for a new video man

Oh my gosh!! You have Claymore?? It’s one of the first manga I’ve read & it’s a phenomenal series. Also I’m blown away from your library. I have some books of beginning to collect but I’d never thought of collecting manga. Perhaps I should have a manga section someday but not anytime soon. Thank you for your advice. Especially about taking the time over the years to expand one’s collection. I’ve already spent $1000 in my books and bookshelf this year. I should really pace myself

This is an awesome collection, and it's so nicely organized.

There is just something about a well organised, flowing bookshelf full of Manga that makes me so happy

this was interesting to watch got a few recs to add to my tbr so thank you for this

Awsome collection man!! Huge respect to you library and sorting😅

some recommendations: Girls' Last Tour (6 Volumes, kinda hard to find all of em though) Mushishi (8 Volumes) Ayako (1 Volume) MW (1 Volume) There are many more that I would recommend, but they've sadly not yet gotten an english release (Billy Bat, Sun-Ken Rock, Jagaaan etc)

Nice ive been waiting for this

Awesome Video! I've seen your TikTok and now I'm glad I've found your channel!

I’m so glad you’ve collected trigun, I love trigun so much!!!

Thanks for sharing. I love how you mentioned your use of law of attraction. Just starting Maison Ikkoku and Urusei Yatsura.

yessssssss i’m so exited to watch this

I'm one of those people who likes looking at other people collections. It's very satisfying somehow. So I really enjoyed this! Thanks for that.

I am so happy this is out!!!

I love your videos they inspire me so much keep going man

This was in my recommended. Cool video, and you seem like a very wholesome dude. Subbed. Edit: After finishing the video, I have some thoughts. Firstly, awesome to see Black Cat! Kentarou Yabuki is absolutely my favorite manga artist ever, so it's cool to see. I still need to actually buy the series, tho, but I do have all of his other main ones. Speaking of his other series, I would certainly recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. I mean To Love Ru is the most shameless ecchi harem romcom trash out there, so if you dont like that, then totally ignore my recommendation for it lmao. Much to my joy, Seven Seas just 2 days ago announced that they snagged the license for the Darling in the Franxx manga. No spoilers, but I can say that it definitely did not end in a flaming dumpster fire like the anime did and do recommend it. And then as for Ayakashi Triangle, it's just ecchi non-harem romcom trash. I love it! Clearly Saki Hasemi (To Love Ru's writer) rubbed off on Yabuki in all the right ways. That being said, Viz got the license for this series instead of Seven Seas, and sadly we may not even get an English physical release. I own all of Yabuki's works in Japanese anyway, but still sucks. And I have all 3 of these series together on one shelf, the Kentarou Yabuki shelf, something that you did as well for your favorite creators. Ugh, RU-vid cut off the 2nd half of my comment, so I will summarize because retyping it all would be too much work. Basically, I find your use of alphabetization interesting. I currently sort solely by series preference (with the exception of the Yabuki shelf), a seriously impractical method that will most likely break down when I have anywhere near the amount of volumes you have (I currently have only like 150.), given that I have to rearrange them whenever I change my preferences. Some amount of alphabetization or unchanging sort method seems inevitable, but I will fight it for as long as possible. I also find your splitting by English publisher interesting. I wouldnt have done it that way. tldr for whole comment: I recommend To Love Ru, Darling in the Franxx, and Ayakashi Triangle. Kentarou Yabuki is my god.

I would love to see more Manga related videos from you. With such extensive knowledge, I would love to hear things like top 10 mystery manga recommendations etc. Just started getting into manga and am really enjoying them, but a little lost on what is out there.

Thanks for the video, it gave me quite some suggestions for future reading...

Whoever inherits your collection better be really happy

That was awesome! Twenty years is such a long time to perfect your craft and passion good for you . I added Devilman I have no idea what this is but it seems classic when I looked at reviews ; just that no one I noticed on RU-vid ever did a review before hopefully it’s good .

I am always amazed at people's collections. I don't have the room for so much sadly, so my is small. I am trying to get the 3 in 1 Gantz because I didn't finish collecting it when it first came out (super tight budget is yet another reason) as well as thinking planning the same thing with Ranma 1\2.

Collection goals right here!

Love how you organize your manga

Mate you have a fantastic collection right there!

Really jealous of your manga collection man! Wish I the JJK manga too but everything sold out in an INSTANT

When I get a job in a year, I’m going to split my paycheck in half, one for life, one for manga

I definitely recommend anything by Fumi Yoshinaga, I think you would like her series called Ooku. It details the idea of what might happen to Japan during the feudal era if a virus suddenly started only attacking males, going into depth what that might do to the economy, the government, and society. It won a lot of awards in Japan including the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Grand Prize in 2009. The series completed recently, with 19 volumes in total. Some people find the translation off putting (in the original, she used archaic Japanese to obviously convey a specific time period, so English translators decided to use Early Modern English ala Shakespeare style), but if that type of thing doesn’t bother you it’s a great read.

Girl on the shore is brilliant everything by Ino is amazing. I just finished Goodnight Punpun vol 1 - I have pretty much everything done by Junji Ito, No Longer Human is my fav by him as well as Uzumaki, Tomie, and Dissolving Classroom. Those are all my favs.

Great collection my guy

Very nice collection at certain! It was very enjoyable to watch. Could you please make a video with your to buy list or wish list. I’m personally very interesting in it.

Hey Ryley, congrats on almost 30k! If you have not check out Chihayafuru, I'd definitely recommend that series. It's a bout a Japanese card/poetry game, Karuta. It's one of my hidden gems. I'm sure you'll love it. The Monogatari series is wonderful too although not a manga. Have a great day! :)

Hello there fellow collector! I see you're using good and trusty Billy shelves :P I have been collecting for similar amount of time, and I'm at 2397 volumes (yes, I keep all my manga in excel sheet, with information on which shelf I have them). I think your collection is bigger, since you own more multi-volume issues, but hey, it's not a race :D

So my recommendations in case you haven't had them before that I didn't see in the collection are: Psyren, Astra Lost in Space, Kaguya Sama Love is War and That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime. I have some vol of these on my very small 100 vol collection and I love them. Thank you for sharing this literal heaven on earth!

I recommend reading Holyland, one of the best seinens and martial arts manga. There’s no English volume release though

Grand Blue Dreaming, a fellow man of honor and culture.

Im not gonna lie bro you look exactly like Leonard from big bang theory! love the content. keep up the great work!

don’t know if you’ve read/have Bakuman but it’s one of my all time favorites :) It’s from Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata from Death Note

I recommend bakuman, its not the most eventful manga series but it is quite intresting. Its about 2 highschool kids that try to become famous manga artists, it gives a pretty good look in the creation of manga and all the work that goes into one. Its made by the creator of death note

I recommend reading Blue Giant by Shinichi Ishizuka if you haven’t already. It’s a beautiful story about a boy who is working it become the best jazz player in the world. It’s an inspiring story and you don’t even have to be a jazz or music lover to relate to it. There are currently two omnibus books out for it containing volumes 1-4, with another omnibus coming out sometime in July and a later one towards the end of the year.

Can you do an overview on samurai deeper kyo eventually? Epic collection dude it’s insane

Those Berserk hardcovers are wonderful, but you miss out on a lot of really great Miura painting on the paperback's covers.

Cool collection.I just started collecting manga I have 2 so far.

I liked your favorite section. It's pretty similar to my fav mangas as well :)

I too hope we get a Gantz Delux Edition soon. They are done with Hellsing and Berserk is also almost done, only 3 Volumes left. Hopefully we get an announcement by the end of the year of which new series is next. The art in Gantz definitely deserves the Delux treatment, specially in the last 10 volumes when you have a bunch of 2 pages panels showing the city, area and all the destructions and stuff going on, but even early stuff like the Buddhist Temple Arc have some amazing panels, the massive Osaka Arc and, though brief, the brutal Rome Arc, they would look gorgeous in a Delux.

Very nice! I'm surprised not to see any Osamu Tezuka! Message to Adolf is fantastic and the beautiful Vertical hardcovers are pretty cheap right now btw. ; )

I saw part 1-3 and immediately knew this was a good video

I was trying to find a manga I had saw the other day but couldn't remember the name so I came here, did not disappoint

I admire and respect people that reads the actual published thing from the authors that is authentic, but also in physical form. Plus, it supports the authors, illustrators or everyone that was involved to create mangas and LN's. In my case I am just too stingy and lazy to do that, so what I do is read online in pirated websites.

Awesome video great manga collection so much manga that’s so cool

New here but so glad I found your channel! You have an amazing collection, hopefully one day I can get on your level lol!

some of these manga spines are rlly nice like the dr stone ones. its so vibrant

Im guessing this is around $15,000 worth of manga

I’m a manga beginner from Taiwan, so glad to find your channel. Western version of manga are always more luxurious, Asian versions are simpler, smaller and less expensive. I’m thinking to get my favorite series, Cardcaptor Sakura in English version, collector’s edition which has the hardcover. Both Taiwanese (traditional Chinese version) and Japanese version doesn’t have that hardcover. Just ordered Chobits 20 anniversary edition 1-3 which also got the hardcover. Wanted to get my childhood manga series but my collection is getting bigger...🤣🤣

recommendation: same author of not simple, seinen series titled house of five leaves. 8 volumes, complete, nice sig ikki's like dorohedoro release. about a shy samurai who gets involved in the criminal underworld. really good series, highly recommend. also recommend 3 volume series called voynich hotel as well as how many lightyears to babylon (one shot) by the same author.

Would be fun to see you do a live stream whilst you build the shelf and have a casual q&a and chat with the chat

Omg you got I AM A HERO collection, im currently tryna collect them, just missing 6,7 and 9

i cant imagine how it would be so fun the organize them

Here are a couple of series that I didn't see in your video. Kingyo Used Books (a series about a bookstore specialized in rare and out-of-print manga, with shout-outs to real series without any kind of masking) is pretty good; unfortunately, Viz Media stopped releasing it after the first four volumes (out of 17 published in Japan), most likely due to licensing cost. However, since it's more like short stories surrounding the bookstore, its employees and its customers, the volumes are standalone. As a result the story doesn't feel like incomplete, like it'd be the case with a serial. Another personal favorite of mine is Genshiken (about a university anime club), at least the original series. (The sequel, Genshiken Second Season, isn't to everyone's tastes, as the anime club becomes a girl-centric yaoi-and-cosplay club and does drag at the end. But characters from the original series do appear from time to time.)

I love the side of manga too. Dr stone looks the best imo and I love how we can see the whole cast in haikyuu
