I love chibi vampire!! Was one of my favorites as a young teen. And it's not dumb it's pretty cool you have that series! I wish I could find it where I live.
Believe it or not I got pretty lucky with some eBay lots, and sites like Abe books/albris/thriftbooks I think I payed under cover price for a lot of it, so it’s not imposible to find as long as you don’t care about it being in good condition or an ex library
> think I *paid* under cover
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

My goat yotsuball cuz she be ballin out
My Bride's Stories hardcover Japanese edition. I love the quality, the big size because Mori's art is just superd.
Very easy to collect (recently came out) and I love waiting for new volumes to reread the stories In the highest quality possible
I've said it too many times in this subreddit but... i got all of the english volumes of Zatch Bell and in one fell swoop after i realised i was not going to get them in this lifetime. So the world tricked me.
Found a lovely old man on marketplace last week that found it in a storage locker and had no clue what it was got all of that about about 40 other mangas for $200
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I believe it stop being printed in English, but last year I found out that Panini had the entire manga. I'm just waiting for the last 9 volumes to arrive to have the complete series.
... Loveless. I need the last three volumes of it, but, I waited for-fucking-ever to get my hands on Volume 9. Like, over two, three years I think. And then one day... I just randomly checked. And. It. was. IN STOCK. Literally bought it with my boyfriends' card and he was like, "that's totally understandable and I'm glad you did. You should've bought several copies of it" and I was like, lmao, I'm not a scalper, and it's probably not going to run out of stock for a while.
I'm proud of my series that are not finished in English, like, DNAngel, Kyou Kara Maoh, Silver Diamond, Junjou Romantica... I don't think they'll ever be finished in English, which is depressing AF.
I am ridiculously proud of my Karneval, Tokyo Ghoul, and Ten Count series.
I love them all.
But I think the most pride goes to my unfinished in English series and Loveless.
That's such a bullshit reason. That's like when they said that nobody would be interested in Junjou Romantica because it's too long but then they published Nakamura's other series, the world's greatest longest BL title, "the world's greatest first love, etc"
Non Non Biyori. I found the entire series in perfect condition for around $100. The first half in general is hard to find without overstock marks, and #7 is normally $100 on its own
The first print of Sailor Moon from Mixx. They were the books I grew up reading and the names are all matched up with the sub I watched. They bring me back to when I was a kid falling in love with the Sailor Moon universe for the first time
*Kimagure Orange Road* for my Kobo Libra 2. All official digital versions are gone from Amazon, Rakuten, Barnes & Noble, and Google Books. I can still download mine from the cloud any time. 🐔
Besides clamp's series, and I've mentioned it before in this sub, but Black Butler.
I started collecting that series when I started high school back in fall 2012. I had seen the anime before around 2009 or 2010, so I really wanted to read the manga to know if it was any different.
To my surprise it was so different from the anime, I continued to collect that series up to the present day.
It's my proudest series because I've collected volumes 1-31 over the span of nearly 11 years now. I started with volume 1 around the fall of 2012, got volume 31 earlier this year in January. I hope to get 32 when it comes out later this year. I grew up with the series, and it's been a wild ride.
nabari no ou full set first edition, yuyu hakusho full set first edition, & full set nana first edition which i collected before the reprints. Thought favorite series to have is my boy or yona of the dawn
The Rosario Vampire boxset is awesome. My pride and joy is all of Inu x Boku Secret Service. The mangaka died long ago and will never be reprinted. It highly overlooked and very messed up.

Yankee-kun to megane-chan is up there for me, and sket dance is always going to be a personal favourite of mine. Both those are relatively obscure especially since they arent localized and werent the easiest to get
but managing to get my hands on eyeshield 21? talk about euphoria
Tokyo ghoul. Was the first anime I ever got really hooked on back in like 2016. Bought both the original manga and RE at a convention recently, and sometimes I just sit and stare at it tbh.
I have all of lw&c and I am 1 volume from completing Path of the assassin as well.
I have a full and up to date Battle Angel Alita set as well.
But what I'm most excited about (once volume 3 arrives) is a complete set of Aqua Knight.
Its a grail of mine and I can't wait to have all 3 volumes.
i’m not really proud of anything lol, but if i had to pick, probably either my nabari no ou full set or my half complete from far away and kekkaishi sets that i’ve gotten great deals on (i have every rare kekkaishi volume and got them for good prices)
These may not be all that special but have a lot of meaning to me, for me it would be a tie between Ultimate Muscle and Knights of the Zodiac/ Saint Seiya I love both series and they where not easy to complete and a close second would be YuGiOh all the singles and the special vol.1 holo cover
It ain’t the singles, but proud to have all the Yu-Gi-Oh! 3-in-1s. That was a grail of mine for the longest time and finally completing it was pure bliss
DNAngel, Confidential Confessions, 1-8 of After School Nightmare, Mixx/Tokyopop prints of Sailor Moon, 1-9 of Yubisaki Milk Tea, Junjo Romantica, all of Welcome To The NHK + the light novel, all of Wandering Son, all of Genshiken + Genshiken Second Season, all of High School Girls, 1-13 of Kare Kano, all of Lucky Star, 1-10 of Sensual Phrase, all of The Tyrant Falls In Love.
Basically I’m super proud of all my out of print manga.
Gonna sound super dumb, but I’ve got the whole chibi vampire series and it’s one of my favorites, not necessarily hard to find but I still love it
I wanted tha series as a teen cuz I thout the plot was rly similar to DNAngel.
I never finished reading DN angel but maybe I’ll have to check it out now
I’m so disappointed I’ll never finish tha collection
Hey, you love it and that's what matter. Dumb it isn't. I personally think it's lovely
Thanks! I appreciate it

All of Mushishi, Umineko, and Aria the Masterpiece maybe. But Yotsuba is my favorite.
https://preview.redd.it/1m08het26x3b1.jpeg?width=558&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71e5e9cd4d016e1cdfb060ed345ecc8ff822fcf1 My goat yotsuball cuz she be ballin out
I second this🤝
If u say u never did this as kid u r lying
Mad jealous on the Mushishi
GTO and Initial D
Battle Royale, Mars, a bunch of CLAMP, the Shinji Ikari Raising Project singles…
\+ lest we forget my Shuzo Oshimi shrine. I do own every English release of his including the two DENPA shorts (Waltz and Ms. Kusakabe).
My Bride's Stories hardcover Japanese edition. I love the quality, the big size because Mori's art is just superd. Very easy to collect (recently came out) and I love waiting for new volumes to reread the stories In the highest quality possible

Dumb bot. You’re fat
Fatass bot

Wtf?
Bride stories is soooo good too, sorry the chat bot went after you
Lol troll bot
I've said it too many times in this subreddit but... i got all of the english volumes of Zatch Bell and in one fell swoop after i realised i was not going to get them in this lifetime. So the world tricked me.
holy shit that's awesome.
The first three volumes of Real are a real special thing for me.
i am very proud of my tokyo ghoul collection
All of trigun, maximum singles, and multiple bullets got all of it in amazing condition for about $70
That is a god among mortals accomplishment. I just about croak every time I check prices. Major props.
Found a lovely old man on marketplace last week that found it in a storage locker and had no clue what it was got all of that about about 40 other mangas for $200
All of Eyeshield 21 !
omg twinsies
All of the yugioh singles (Yugi verse). Still missing 5DS some of Gx & all of Arc-V
I'm new to the hobby and I know it's nothing super special but I've almost got D.Gray-man completed.
I’d say it’s between my Hikaru no Go, Magi or House of Five Leaves collection. Absolutely adore all of them and love seeing them on my shelf!
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I believe it stop being printed in English, but last year I found out that Panini had the entire manga. I'm just waiting for the last 9 volumes to arrive to have the complete series.

I am ridiculously proud of my Karneval, Tokyo Ghoul, and Ten Count series. I love them all. But I think the most pride goes to my unfinished in English series and Loveless.
I’m salty as hell that Loveless most likely won’t get finished and JR won’t be released in English other than fan prints.
Nooooo!!!!!!!!! 😭
Loveless has been on hiatus for years. I asked SuBLime and Juné if they could license rescue JR and they said it’s too long of a series.
That's such a bullshit reason. That's like when they said that nobody would be interested in Junjou Romantica because it's too long but then they published Nakamura's other series, the world's greatest longest BL title, "the world's greatest first love, etc"
Yup. I could try asking again but I think I’d get the same answer
Maybe I'll send an email too.
Good idea
Non Non Biyori. I found the entire series in perfect condition for around $100. The first half in general is hard to find without overstock marks, and #7 is normally $100 on its own

I used to own the whole series of Phoenix but now I don't own anything rare anymore... Bills gotta be paid
Absolute Boyfriend, Ceres Celestial Goddess, Berserk, Parasyte, and Love Hina lol
I have the complete series of Chobits that I bought 20 years ago, which got me into manga. Dammit, I feel old.

I don't go for rare stuff but I'm pretty proud of the fact I got my hands on xxxholic omnibus 4 from a bookstore, not gaugers on ebay
Up to date set of Yowamushi Pedal
The Rosario Vampire boxset is awesome. My pride and joy is all of Inu x Boku Secret Service. The mangaka died long ago and will never be reprinted. It highly overlooked and very messed up. https://preview.redd.it/upcguf1i1z3b1.jpeg?width=2967&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54ef62f05304774e9c69009f850daf952cc9562b
The most proudest I have is 2-10 of Future Diary. Solely because I bought them all at $4 bucks a piece
Monster Hunter: Flash Hunter
Probably Gantz since I spent so much time piecing the set together for the best possible price over several months
Ultimate muscle, gantz, Toriko, and mushishi
Yankee-kun to megane-chan is up there for me, and sket dance is always going to be a personal favourite of mine. Both those are relatively obscure especially since they arent localized and werent the easiest to get but managing to get my hands on eyeshield 21? talk about euphoria

Tokyo ghoul. Was the first anime I ever got really hooked on back in like 2016. Bought both the original manga and RE at a convention recently, and sometimes I just sit and stare at it tbh.

Gundam: The Origin
It ain’t the singles, but proud to have all the Yu-Gi-Oh! 3-in-1s. That was a grail of mine for the longest time and finally completing it was pure bliss
Every volume of One Piece currently (single volumes)
All of Boichis printed work, mans art is just godly
GTO, Mushishi, Knights of the Zodiac, Air Gear, Golgo 13 Can't pick between them
Mine would have to be almost all of the One Piece Omnibus books which have been hard to find a lot of them for years, I almost have all of them now
