@@_peepee_ there are some collection of completely different stories and also some long connected stories too like Tomie. And those really are an amazing collection to have and to read!
@@epistarter1136amazon, they have every volume, it's where i got it, you can buy a box set for the first series of books and then either bundles for tokyo ghoul re or individually
I gotta genuinely ask how do you read them? Yes they look beautiful but the pages don’t spread flat and the words/art on the inside pages are obscured. Is it just for look?
@@Denturess oh, I dunno. I keep intending to buy them but I've been on a huge Brandon Sanderson kick so theyve been on hold. They didnt look THAT inconvenient in the store, seems kind of similar to the Berserk leather bounds. You just gotta be careful, like with any hardcover or special edition, I'd imagine
@@TheDiabeticGameMaster I did try read them in store and I guess it’s probably down to personal preference. I love how they look but it’s so uncomfortable to actually read for me. Same with the berserk hardcovers. The junji ito ones are a bit better bc they’re thinner so the sit flat better - I bought those instead.
If you people want a witch themed fantasy manga i really recommend you to Witch Hat Atelier. That manga is so beautiful, it's really a must have to collectors.
@@Pant10 Bleach art is okay, berserk is good but vagabond outclasses it in every department. For long shonen: one piece has the best art overall, and seinen its vagabond. For short series its probably OPM
I like the pun pun mangas if you get all of em you get an image of pun pun and it makes me happy also how they get darker and less colored over time with the story makes me 🤌🤌
Yea the spines of Vagabond are amazing. Berserk is my favourite manga, I have all the regular tankōbons and the deluxe, but the Hellsing deluxe is nicer looking. The bright red faux leather looks amazing and just pops on the shelf. Then I love the bright yellow spines of the perfect editions of Soul Eater. Then Bakemonogatari, each volume is a different beautiful bright colour. Then I love the spines of Akame Ga Kill, black spines with different name colour and the picture is half the length of the spine.
One of my favorite collections (light novel, so not a manga) is Overlord. Their covers are so freaking sick, and the spines are awesome especially in Japanese.
vagabond is extremely popular, the big 3 of seinen are always given as berserk vinland and vagabond and vagabond is common ranked as the manga with the best art ever
I bought the series a while ago but the first 2 books still haven't been shipped so I haven't been able to start the series. I've flipped through a few pages of it a man its just beautiful.
I don't have many manga volumes, (maybe 10 volumes over 4 series) and Mashle: Magic and Muscles takes up half of those slots. In comparison to the regular white spines of the other Manga I own, the black and dark colors contrast really well, and they just have a really cool aesthetic.
tokyo ghoul has amazing covers and spines as well. death note black edition also look really good with their black pages and uniform spines, and their singles have *amazing* covers
I dont understand how it takes so long for the berserk people to create those black volumes all the way to the last volume. they wait like a whole ass year per volume. like bro it aint hard to slap 3 volumes together and just release all of them.
The Vagabond and Berserk hardcovers go so well on my book shelf with all my other books that aren’t manga haha like LOTR and Dune, I also have a bunch of music books that match. Just amazingly well made those edition’s definitely are.
My personal favorite is the Pokemon Adventures covers (specifically collector's edition) Basically they're each a solid color with a Pokeball pattern, and they have a unique font. On the cover is a character and a Pokemon or two.
The BJ Alex prints I have have beautiful full color protector sleeves but if you take them off it's completely black with splashes of accents colors; red, blue, purple - so beautiful 💜
I’ve been buying the collector’s edition of The Girl From the Other Side. It’s a beautiful hardcover book and I’m in love with how elegant it looks up on my bookshelf. When he third one comes out my collection will be complete.
You weren't lying about vagabond, the original set is so hard to find so I gave up even tho I have volumes 1-4 so I just got the deluxe. Even then its stil hard to find, understandable tho since its one of the most beautiful pieces of work inside and out
20th century boys perfect edition does a cool thing with their spines where when you collects all of them it makes one huge picture, it’s not the first too do it I just like the picture
I was gifted the first hardcover for Vinland saga by a friend of mine, but I had just finished the first season and realized pretty quickly that the show was really accurate to the source material so even though the cover and art was gorgeous I never finished it. That was until I finished season two. It’s been years since I watched season one so I took advantage of not remembering much to read that first book and I was totally blown away by the art and the feel of the whole thing. I’m definitely about to start collecting them.
My problem with the Berserk hardcovers is it's black with dark red for the text, it makes it hard to read what it says on the cover unless you shine a light onto it.
They made a berserk set that has the sacrifice brand glow in the dark red along with the number slashes!!😱 honestly berserk would have been my first pick for nice sets!😮💨🧊
Vagabond stole my heart
Fuck even my wallet died trying to get another volume ffs

I dont understand what your saying but I'm surprised JJBA didn't make it since the art covers are absolute bomb.
JJBA have consistent design, Araki just changed artstyle lol
The Japanese serialization has the best spine artwork and manga covers, look em up it’s really worth while if you had them
Too bad they discontinued jojonium after part 3
It's the only covers with a consistent art

Jojo bizarre adventure part 7 and part 8 when it was published monthly the art just skyrocketed in quality. Also Tokyo Ghoul Re
In the beginnings of part 7, art is really ugly
When are they gonna have hardcovers for part five
The video is about how the manga looks from the outside. As in the designs of the covers and spines, not artwork.
Damn, those look beautiful
If you people want a witch themed fantasy manga i really recommend you to Witch Hat Atelier. That manga is so beautiful, it's really a must have to collectors.
Thank you I’m most definitely gonna give it a read, I love magical fantasy themed manga

“Look at those spines “ is something eren from aot would say
Made ln Abyss manga also looks very good
I kinda wish Berserk had some art on the fronts like Blade of the Immortal but the brand of the sacrifice goes so hard on the cover
the Pandoras Heart box set goes hard, expected it to be here
Gantz and JJBA laughing in the corner.
Gantz dark horse omnibus is so small ngl. I am buying them when I see on sales ones tho. My guilty pleasure on my top 10 list.
not top 5
Black Butler. The spines look so elegant and sophisticated
The Rose of Versailles hardcover is literally chefs kiss perfect imo. It's my favorite collectors edition hardcover. It broke my wallet though...
I'm surprised not to see Naoki Urasawa's critically acclaimed Monster on this list, but definitely still good picks.
And yet, Witch Hat Atelier isn't on here...
bro really said “woof woof mommy, can i have the manga now”
Wtf!?
Yea wth man
hard covers are hella expensive tho 😂
Never forget Pandora hearts as it is packed in treasure chest
in my opinion i think the tbhk manga is the most beautiful to collect the cover art is so beautiful
just looks like someone took lsd and threw up, no consistency

Call me basic but all the dragon ball volumes look amazing together
No he took a L for not including dragon ball
