I always shop physical.. Don't have to worry about recieving damaged manga etc. And It also supports local stores and let's them know manga sells and encourages them to stock more which in turn helps the hobby grow.. Also I'd like to hear your opinion on Rightstuf In about 6month to a year after this crunchyroll take over..
I’m definitely waiting to see what will come out of this whole new Crunchyroll x RSA situation. Also, I rarely have damaged manga come in from RSA, so I don’t usually worry about situations like that.
I put 2 manga in my cart Right stuff anime had a sale for manga for 6$ but with tax and delivery it was 22.83 and when I buy it in person it was 21.63 so I saved more
For me personally I love to go to physical retail stores. It something to do for fun and getting out of the house. I also just like to see the volumes of manga of shelves and see what news series I would like to try.I also do shops frequently online mostly manga that is oop. But with college coming back I might start only doing manga shopping to save some money mostly.
I’m reversed in your situation. I look for out of print manga in person and get the usual, in print, manga online since I know it’ll be cheaper that way! But buying online to save will definitely be your best option!
Most of my purchases are from physical retailers, and I definitely prefer to shop in person rather than online. While the selections are way better online, it can't match the atmosphere of going to a bookstore and finding something you may not have checked out otherwise. Plus, it's a good way to hang out with friends and touch grass.
The only reason I would go to a physical store now would be to hang with friends but besides that, and used bookstores, I really don’t have a point to when I can get it cheaper elsewhere.
online is the go-to for me, it helps that i don’t live anywhere near a barnes so online is pretty much my only option but it’s kinda fun to go once in a while to look at everything even though i know my wallet is going to take a hit, if i’m going to pay full price for manga i’d much rather support a small independent or local bookstore as well
I do a bit of both - shop online when the sales are good (especially for the berserk deluxe editions on Amazon) and take a trip to the local B&N on payday. I like doing physical more and there’s even a comic book store near me that has some dope gunpla, figures and manga. The convenience of shopping online is great but I try to make more of an effort to support the stores as well.
I go to retailers when they have a good sale , like when I got the BAM card I got a 50 off 100 coupon and went during a buy 2 get the 3rd free sale and the cashier was chill and added the card coupon on top. I would say physical retailers are cool because you would probably get that very cool employees that would chat with you or let you know about upcoming sales.
I just made my first purchase on Rightstuff but I think the only plus side from physically buying is that you can make sure you don’t get a damaged one. Cuz sometimes they come bended from like Amazon.
I got volume 5,6,9and 11 to chainsaw man and my hero academia volumes 13 ,14,15 and 16 otw from amazon . And im ordering volumes 17 and 18 of mha on the 16th. And on the 1st im planning on getting volume 19,20,21and 22 of hba .
Biggest reason for why I stopped buying books in store is because the book retail prices adds up quickly especially places like barns and noble/books a million which is where I use to buy a lot of my manga during elementary and middle school. Once I discovered rightstuf and eBay where most mangas/anime Blu-ray’s be on sale or couple dollars cheaper makes all the difference.
I mostly shop for manga online, because they have a wide variety of titles, compared to a physical stores. On occasion where I find a volume I am missing in a local store, which is currently out of stoke online then I make exceptions.
I only buy manga now when it’s on sale online. Instead of buying some each month I just place like 2,3,4 big orders in a year during summer and winter basically. No point in spending more in store than online even without a sale, especially when you collect so much stuff the way I do. I have well over 1,000 volumes. Even without a sale buy a 1,000 volumes at Barnes and Noble vs just on rightstuff no sale $2 difference each volume that’s a $2,000 difference. Add the sales on top of that and it’s much more of a difference. Online all the way
I'm glad i got to find this Man he is such a dope person and his mood is such pure happiness and welcoming thanks youtube for introducing me too The Dark Sage 😌😌☺️
I always go to Barnes & Noble- online is easier but I can’t see the condition of the volume (I’m very picky) and I dislike returning things and dealing with customer service, makes me nervous buuuuut - watching this video and how you put the gas prices, now I wanna shop online. Also, I like the new room, but I do think it should be orange, what’s wrong with orange sir? Orange is my favorite color so I say orange!!
I see your point you give example 7.99 manga online and add shipping and tax it’s close to same price going to store sometimes more depending on book,. Manga volume 12 my love story no have it stock I had go on eBay pay 30-40 for that book
Generally, I don’t pay shipping because I wait to buy enough where I hit the the free shipping minimum. Tax still doesn’t add enough to really make it the same price as buying in store for me either. I still pay less overall buying online strategically. And I hope that volume you bought was out of print and not just out of stock.
Both Walmart and Target have new manga and figures, like S.h figuarts and statues and the manga selection is excellent. today I found one piece and naruto manga at my Walmart for $7.68 so I went home with groceries and a crap ton of manga lol
Walmart and target have had sh figuarts for a while now, those are lower end action figures tho, most people are looking for scales and statues, and I guarantee they aren’t selling actual statues😂
@@hyper_candy576 those are not statues my friend those are prize figures, which I own both of and there is a huge difference since one costs around $30 and the other costs $300
I like to order online because of sales but I love going into a bookstore like 2nd and Charles. I live in the south and Barnes and noble is very limited on manga and whenever I go there's some old person looking at me in the manga section and saying "why is she reading kids books?" Not that it should bother me but yeah I stick with online mostly. If local bookstores offer more sales or something and a bigger selection then I most definitely prefer in person.
Hey chase I just got my box sets 3 and 4 for one piece and I only need the second one to finish my collection I was wondering do u think I should collect the 10 individual vols or wait for a boxset5 for one piece I would really appreciate your opinion
Barnes and nobles only reason I went in person was because they would show some manga I was searching for as being in stock , then I’d show up and they end up not having the manga they said they had in stock so I stick to online now, gas worse then shipping anyway
I try to buy physical to support local comicbook stores. But it's really tough when you have to pay almost 12 dollars for a viz volume here (everything is import in the Netherlands). Prices go through the roof. So I am forced to buy online where prices are about 10,20 dollars for a viz volume.
Every once in awhile I buy manga from books a million in store at my local mall. I’ve mostly switched to using online retailers for my purchases though.
I've normally shopped on amazon but if I have the chance I would shop at my local barns n noble just for the reaction lmao but that might just be me, I think its funny but its cause I don't care what people think of me cause most of the time I'd prolly won't see them again unless I keep shopping from them but to each their own =)
I get my manga straight from my comic shop as i can get them to order out of print and older stuff Theyve been fully stocking manga as that sells more than their comics
ive been going to kinokuniya and book off everytime i love this buying used mangas and most of the new release with mangas money budgeting are ups and downs
Great video but I'm very curious to see how much right stuff will change being owned by Sony. The got rid of all the nasty man products. 🤷🏼 Not to many people are happy about it myself included.
Bruh I just left the great noble🤣🤣🤣. Just got ealier release manga. They also be having easier release if there no restrictions on the manga. I also go to 2nd and charles. They sell new and used manga and do be getting rare manga tht u never see in store like highschool of the dead colored edition. They also are connected to BAM, there inline orders come from BAM. I stay in the store🤣🤣🤣

I do a bit of both. I love the deals I can get online, but nothing beats going to a bookstore and putting my grimy little hands on everything.
Unless a manga/light novel is marked as exclusive to a store like Barnes and Noble, I will always use RightStufAnime
Is rightstuffanime only for the US?
@@MyBitch925 They ship everywhere
Pretty much the same energy I have currently
@@TheDarkSage I didn’t think Tokyo Revengers would get a store exclusive cover, originally was going to get it at RightStuf

Amazon hasnt failed me, i always make sure whos selling and read the reviews.
I used to just buy with no regrets. I’ve had no bad run ins with amazon

RightStuf charges sales tax now :(
Chase, are you gonna do a video about Crunchyroll acquiring Right Stuf Anime.
I'm curious to see if anything bad is going to happen after they were bought, well besides the adult stuff being removed.
I mostly shop for manga online, because they have a wide variety of titles, compared to a physical stores. On occasion where I find a volume I am missing in a local store, which is currently out of stoke online then I make exceptions.
I love online shopping but sometimes I just want the book in hand so I go to the store. 2nd & Charles is my go to for 2nd hand buys
My second favorite mangatuber. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Where I live the manga section is very small, and never have what I want in stock anyway. Enjoy your content always.

Store shopping can be good sometimes. Especially if you live in the UK and go to this store named forbidden planet and get 3 for 2 deals on all manga

@@jollama thanks lol
If you want the full experience go to stores but online will always have better items. So it will always depend on the type of person
I only go to Barnes and noble to get some manga a week/couple of days earlier
What about shopping at you local comic sho? A lot of them sell Manga and can really use the help.

Cant go to a shop in just your under wear and buy manga, well you can but only once. Can do that online all the time hassle free.
I like going to B&N and pick out my Mangas. I like getting them personally because I like to check the condition of it lol.
Must be nice I don't have one near me
Great video 👍😎 #brokeboigang 👍👍
I only go retail if they got a spicy deal going on or it’s with some friends
Same for me!
I noticed the sound is so much better in your new room! Have you gotten fully settled in? Really liking the new setup too.
For me, it’s a bit of a toss up. I shop at my local BAM down the street from me quite a bit but I also use Amazon a lot too.

It's also uncomfortable for me to buy in store because the workers are always following me around and asking what i need what i want
How dare you ask for a bag for the stuff you purchased
I know, silly me!
Cuz it's easier to order what you want online.
This is facts
Come to Los Angeles!

my shop sells viz volumes for 8.00
Rightstuf isn't worth it unlesss you are on the US. Otherwise it becomes really expensive, and the shipping service (Fedex) is horrible
Well they charge sales tax now so unless you live in a sales tax free state like Oregon, the discount gets eaten by tax
Shit with crunchyroll acquiring rightstuf you might need to go find another website 😂
WE will see lol
It’s “Barnes and Noble” not “Barnes and Nobles”
