    If you are getting into the larger volumes, please save your money and buy box sets as they are by far the CHEAPEST in the long run. Don't pick up a few at a time unless you enjoy wasting money.

    Nice vid! I'm actually working on collecting the individual volumes of One Piece. I started my collection when I was in elementary school, so getting the individual volumes instead of the omnibus is important to me. I've been collecting other series along the way, so these tips were helpful for me getting my budgeting together. Keep up the good work!

      That’s a terrible way to collect One Piece, it’s going to cost you double the amount, buy the box sets, it’s much cheaper. I have it complete, I just bought the 4 box sets.

    My strat every year has been to save up $100 a year ($50 for the Summer and $50 for Winter) and spending it on Crunchy Roll manga shop (previously Right Stuf) during their Summer & Winter sales to get $50 worth of manga at really discounted rates and to get the free shipping on each order.

    • @itzjustcj
      @itzjustcj  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I physically go out and get manga with my 30/60/90 rule. I pay $40/year to be a barnes and noble premium member and for every 10th purchase over $5 you get $10 store credit that stacks and everything is 10% off. So for me its a perfect deal.

  • @InfamyOrDeath-__-
    @InfamyOrDeath-__- 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Any series that has a box set that’s how you should buy it, it’s far cheaper, especially for series that have over 25 volumes. Always buy the box sets, like if you buy One Piece in singles it’ll cost you over $1,000, you can get the entire series for a little over $400 if you shop around for the box sets, I do often see them on sale.

    I love Fire Punch. I don't hear enough about it. I don't care for the ending it came out of nowhere to me, but all the others were great. People should definitely recommend it more.
    I love your tips. I think another tip is to compare prices if you have the patience to wait for an order to arrive. Like with books a million they have good manga sells online but not in store, so I'll place an order online and just pick it up
    I go to the store to make sure they have it, pick the books up myself and pay for it online and the worker doesn't have to do anything. I compare prices from Amazon, Crunchy Roll, Books a Million and Barnes and Noble

    • @itzjustcj
      @itzjustcj  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree with comparing prices for me i am a premium barnes and noble member and i get around 10% every purchase and every 10 books i buy i get $10 store credit and it stacks up pretty quickly lol and its only for $40/year and honestly thats the best deal to have and i recommend that too to save money.

  • @Luci-pz8xx
    @Luci-pz8xx 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    If you don't care about having brand new volumes buying used from ebay, thrift stores, or facebook market place can save money. A lot of the times "used" is basically new but might have a scuff or two that aren't noticeable from 1 foot away and would have happened to the new volume over time anyway.
    Also be on the lookout for deals from bookstores / anime stores. Black friday isn't the only sale.

    • @itzjustcj

    I recommend the box sets for bulk series As for how much cheaper it is. Chainsaw man was 100 plus at local stores and Amazon sold it like $54 for 11 books. 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. That's what I'm doing for now on unless a box set come out

    • @itzjustcj

    that's a nice tip I will use but tweaked a bit because where I live mangas are around 7-8€.
    But I think you should try to talk louder, put pages off the manga you recommend to show the art style or other stuff. And be more energetic on camera. I think that could improve the quality of your videos :D
