haha isnt that a bit too extravagant? can i have the other one then? When it comes to collecting manga I like to obtain all the different editions. I know I'm not alone, at least with buying the two English editions. Several others have talked about doing the same in other message boards.

Yea i know I probably will get both hard and soft cover also, I know I will want to line them up nice on a shelf and if the 1st 3 are bigger then the rest it will look goofy to me.

It adds up buying all the editions so these are the only ones I can afford to keep up with right now.

Yes, the hardcovers are a different size because of the cover itself. The inside pages are the same size in both editions. Very close to the Japanese hardcover edition.

I really wish I had the sailor moon but thats so hard to get now at the right price cuz it's been out of print for so long. I have'nt been buying to much manga lately I been busy buying figures, but yesterday my friend found and pick me up a copy of Adolf #1 Hard Cover for only $16!!!!! The cheapest i could find was about $80 for a soft cover I was planing to get that buy the end of the year!

I really wish I had the sailor moon but thats so hard to get now at the right price cuz it's been out of print for so long. Yes, the Sailor Moon manga is more of a nostalgic thing for me. That's how I got into anime/manga, but I really haven't been into shojo since. But since it was my first, I have a lot of them. It's about time in number of books with my Black Jack collection. That's gonna reach 200+ by the time I'm finished... yesterday my friend found and pick me up a copy of Adolf #1 Hard Cover for only $16!!!!! The cheapest i could find was about $80 for a soft cover I was planing to get that buy the end of the year! My local bookstore Powells has 2-5 paperback used and new ones. Used are less that $11 and new are the original price: www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781569310571-1www.powells.com/biblio/61-9781569311332-0www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781569311240-3www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781569311622-2It's also having a sale on some of the Buddha series; hardcovers $11 and softcovers $8.

I really don't buy to much manga now days ( I have no were to put it ) I used to not have much room to put it away until I build a bunch of bookshelves. They're getting full, but I still have a little room left.

You have a lot of books too! You might want to try librarything.com some time. It can be addicting, but it's fun to keep track of your books that way. I'm waiting for a few more of my things from Japan to arrive before I start taking picture of my stuff. I want it to look as complete as it can be. I also want to try and find the to Kodansha sets of Black Jack as well as that would almost complete my entire collection.

Yea I really want to take some new pictures too, but I'm always waiting for my new stuff to come in the mail. I'll look into that site but I'm really lazy!
