    Regarding figures, I recommend getting a glass case instead of putting them on shelves bc the glass doors can prevent ur figures from getting dusty. Otherwise make sure to dust ur figures regularly! Instead of larger figures I like putting mini figures/gacha toys in front of manga, it's cute and doesn't take up much space

    With your last point on tracking what you have got to prevent duplication. Personally I use Google sheets with different tabs. There I can keep track of complete series, series I'm I'm actively pre-ordering, series I may pick up if I have free cash, stalled series and dropped series as well as actual pre-orders This means I don't duplicate an online pre-order with an in person order. It means I don't get things I have already got and if I find myself in a bookshop with some money I can buy something I need rather than being stuck Google sheets means it can be maintained on the pc at home and accessed on my phone when out and about😊

      ​@@itzjustcjit actually wasn't to bad because entries are at the series level rather than the volume level. So even something like One Piece can be added in a couple of minutes. With ~1100 volumes it took maybe four Saturday afternoons initially and then it's just a case of having the discipline to keep it updated. Doing the same thing for anime took way longer!

    When collecting my main focus is primarily on the condition aspect. I'm not a fan of yellow pages. It's makes it feel older and I'm aware that's inevitable, but I feel that good maintenance preserves their condition. 1. Invest in quality shelving units and organize to your liking. 2. Purchase a humidifier or dehumidifier (based on needs) to prevent pages from yellowing. 3. Buy blackout curtains to prevent sunlight from oxidizing pages and move shelving units to places where sunlight doesn't make contact. 4. Consider investing in higher quality editions such as Full Metal Special Editions because general manga pages have a tendency to yellow.

I've been Collecting HxH, and I'm currently up to 12 in order (I have a few scattered volumes from the CA arc, and all of the manga only content collected too), and I unknowingly bought another volume 12. It also sucks cause Volume 13 and 14 were literally right there. And quick tip: If you bought a duplicate volume at a Barnes and Noble, you can refund it if you got a receipt

I just started collecting like 5 or 6 months ago and I would bulk buy at the local Barnes and noble every week and it got so overwhelming on just having a stack of manga and no time to read.. i agree with you on buying a few manga at a time.
