@@user-wu7ew8yb3w wait I kinda get that. The way the spines are different with the different parts, it wouldn’t be like putting regular manga backwards
I'm curious if Manhwa gets a pass here. I purchased a 9 volume collection that was split into groups of three, all ordered from right to left. It's the original Korean and the only manhwa I own. Not sure if this is consistent with all collections or unique to this one series.
Scalpers can rot in hell, honestly, our community doesn't need that on top of shortages and covid related stuff on top of out of print and stretched out reprints, it drives me crazy that I have to be on my game for every release where 4 or 5 years ago I felt no worry what so ever, like it was more like there were too many printings back then.
sadly i am one of the people who wrap their mangas in plastic, but the manga in Mexico although it is cheap also brings many quality problems most of the time causing it to turn yellow too quickly, so the best way to maintain a manga in good condition is leaving them in that plastic that in fact they sell it to you from the store, but I totally agree that it is a kick in the butt that when you want to read one of your manga you have to go through removing the plastic first xD
Tienes razon, e leido mucho que la calidad de los mangas de panini se hacen amarillos rapido, la verdad por eso compro manga en ingles, afortunadamente tengo un buen conocimiento del lenguaje y la calidad de muchos mangas es mejor.
I agree with you about the yellowing of the pages. To me as long as I can read it it's fine. I guess something that bothers me is when someone bends the pages or the cover to hold their place instead of using a bookmark or a piece of paper ( or anything)
So, I agree with everything you say! Here in Mexico every single volume is plastic wrapped, and the manga stores even sell you plastic bags if you want to rewrap your manga. I personally don't like it, since, as you say, it's annoying to have to take it out every single time i want to check out any volumes (plus, imo, it makes you want to interact less and less with your collection, since everything is wrapped, you won't want to ruin the bag). People here do it mostly about the yellowing, but also for the "new" smell to stay and because it's less probably that it'll get messed up by moisture. Over here is easier to have it wrapped than it not since when you buy it it's already like that, but i do understand why it's weird over there since you'll have to go out of your way to always wrap it up.
exactly! but i go to a specific store where they ask if you want the books wrapped, i always say yes just so i can have it wrapped for now before i read it, after i read it i just save the plastic bag somewhere just in-case and just put it on my shelf
Can't speak for all. But for the wrapped collections I've seen, you can still look through the pages. It's only the cover that's really wrapped, kinda like a dust jacket. I only really like it to prevent scratching and stuff
I don’t mind wrapping my manga collection. Other than preventing brown pages, I usually don’t touch a manga I finished for a long time, so I don’t really have any issues with interactivity, also I like to take a book or 2 when I go out and I’d like to minimize as much damage as possible when carrying it in a bag or leaving it on a table. But that’s just me
Kinokuniya bookstore in the US wraps their manga in shrink wraps to prevent "manga cows" from reading every single volume without buying. Also it prevents wear & tear, dirt, and oil from grubby hands. LOL It's better to use book cover so that you can read the book while keep it pristine.
the wrapping actually makes sense when you live in a country where the humidity would destroy anything, like Vietnam. I have some manga a while ago and since I didn't know how to preserve them, they didn't turn only yellow but they turned moldy, not to mention the mites
To protect it from dust, place a sheet of newspaper on top, to protect from yellowing, store in place of the room, where the sun never shines. You could also keep it in their boxset, or make a boxset.
Really like this video !!! Drives me crazy when people just throw the manga anywhere, like when they had no careful at all and the manga just get all banged up. I mean, Manga is aesthetic and not to mention how expensive it is.
I agree with Raian here, basically everything included in this video is SO bad for your manga and makes it worse so listen to us manga collectors, *_dont do it_*
I plastic wrap my manga, and Idk I've found bags that wrap the average Viz volume very nicely. It isn't even that noticeable when on the shelves. Unless the volumes have a different form factor (Berserk deluxe or even Box Sets), I prefer bagging those I can. It eases my mind, and I prefer them that way considering I regularly have dust and cat hair in my house.
Honestly, I wrap my mangas with clear opp plastics "professionallly" and they look brand new asf. the plastics are not even visible on the spines because I made them look like "booker-kun". I personally do this to protect them. you can add silica gels though if they get wiggly.
Yeah well as a collector I thought it was just right to try to have your books as clean and protected as you can, I know that it's not like every manga is an Amazing Fantasy #15, but still want them to live as long as they can
Yes! I used to collect oop Del Rey and Tokyopop manga. And those scalpers wanted so much! I did spend $80 for one of the Ravemaster manga. I gave up trying to collect Battle Royale, Welcome to the NHK and Mushishi
I had my whole collection in plastic for a while (acide-free BCW bags), because I've moved several times and have seen my books get damaged in the process. However, I don't really like the look, so I'm taking most out of the plastic now. I have some rare horror titles from the 90s and early 00s that will probably never get reprinted, though, and I'm going to keep those wrapped. They'll be too expensive to replace if they get ruined.
@javierhugocaballero3558 I've got a couple copies of Umezu's Scary Book, Inuki's School Zone, a bunch old Hideshi Hino books, including a near-complete collection of the Hino Horror series, and some other random titles like Reiko the Zombie Shop. I had some older paperback Junji Ito and Kazuo Umezu books that I sold a while back as well.
I actually recently wrapped my Manga in plastic but in a way that I can still open it and look inside of it without any problem, it doesn't have any annoying plastic bags but it can stick easily to the other ones. I prob won't be wrapping them any more since it's so time consuming.
Its true that yellowing of my manga scares me but I think that is okay and natural... :)) also, old books smells great than the new ones. idk. hehehehe :))
In my country we read from right to left, I just found out that I subconsciously organised my manga like that. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll go change it right now!
I personally haven't seen organised spines across volumes, I'll have to check what I have again but yea I never though right to left organised, don't know much about japan but one thing I do know is that japan doesn't do right to left organising numbers the yellowing though... someone saying it adds character. I'm about to pass out from a panic attack here! just keep them out of direct sunlight. someone get me some oxygen..
I made the mistake two times in the past when I bought a random manga from the book store, they seemed fine on the covers, but they still had plastic wrapping so I couldn't look in it. I will never make that mistake again.
It's just too cumbersome to put a manga volume in a plastic bag to prevent from deterioration. I normally use inexpensive cellophane sheet as book cover for new manga volume and it protects the cover while I read the manga. When I get tired of it, I still can sell it as used in good condition and book cover helps.
I cannot understand the hatred of yellowed pages. I was into books way before I was into manga, and I personally love a yellowed book that smells like an old book. Newer white ones cannot compare to an older book (with a cover and spine in great condition though). I actually will enjoy it when my manga look somewhat aged.
Well I organize my manga backwards because it’s just how my shelf is layed out if I put the manga in the front than they would fall over so I just do it backwards
I wrap some of my manga , my two Japanese series Black Jack and Kinnikuman nisei but there old and not the best condition . Along with some of my others but that’s mainly because I have cats and no real book shelf . I probably won’t do it once I have actual shelves that I can better clean
I couldn't leave my manga or books in general in plastic. Scalpers are ruining the industry. Vols 2-4of Jujutsu Kaisen are terrible to find.(had to edit this just found vol 8 for free) I won't pay the 25 it's valued on book depo..I'll just wait for rightstuf to email me for when they have it.
Bro one time i gave my friend one time a manga that have one pages when they some b###s and when I got it back he say mmmm I spell som water on it sorry and when I look on it it’s where hard to upen and then I see he have jerk of when he saw that manga page I just say what wrong whit you and he say he will give me a new one but no I say give me the money I going to buy it and it cost like 110kr in Norwegian money who it’s 12$-14$
Well, my favourite Manga (Sakura Card Captor/Clear Card) it's also the first one that I got and that's why it's basically DESTROYED so I'm planning to put some plastics on some volumes but I'm not afraid of yellow pages, I got 1 Manga that I bought on a second-hand Manga store and its reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly yellow but guess what? I'ts the first volume of assasination classroom and it matches the freaking book! so that's why Idfc 'bout the yellow pages :D
Yo raian u srsly have to see silent voice manga bruh it's sooo good and the manga is even funnier than the movie but don't get the wrong idea it's not comedy but funny u will like it
I do my Japanese books backwards 😂 theyre not manga per se, theyre illustrations and databooks not translated in English. English are from left to right. So I start my English on the left shelf and start my Japanese stuff at the end right shelf
I understand bagging & boarding American/Western comics, they're a lot flimslier and thinner and more fragile and condition has much more of an impact on their value and the hobby. But manga?
bagging manga, just like any other thing printed on paper, absolutely reduces yellowing. why do you think this is standard practice in comic book collecting?
@@rap3208 It's just because books don't last forever, the shelf lifespan of a paperback is 10 to 20 years. People are simply not trying to replace their manga/books every decade, specially when there's plenty out of print stuff out there.
I have a few manga that are factory sealed and idk if I should open them I don’t want them to get damaged and because one of them is out of print and I don’t want to ruin the seal 😭😭
1st; Absolutely love the video! 2nd; Berserk, BLAMM!, K.O.S. Chainsaw Man....excellent tastes. 3rd; I got into manga literally when Kentaro Miura died.. I've spent about $2600 so far... and I'm realizing I supported a scalper once or twice..Vizbig Vagabond dont cost $40 a pop.. With patience I finally gotten numbers 5,9 and 12 vagabond, 4th.. I had the bad habit of keeping my manga in plastic when I first started🤣😆 Nummore of that..
My fave anime and manga is black butler I started reading the manga maybe 2 years ago I've waited and waited but it's always sold out and it haven't arrived in my local bookstore I need volume 2 and 3 and every volume is sold out in the bookstore in my country except volume 30😭😭 PLEASE SOMEONE DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY BLACK BUTLER BOOK 2 OR 3 🙏🙏
i agree with most of it , i organize my rare series with manga bags for very good reason i finished reading them and they are super rare and very expensive, the rest of my manga is just on normal display XD and the manga bags i use are specially made for standard viz media sized manga no moisture comes inside . perfect fit
Been collecting for 20 years and bagging your manga is a necessity. Yellowing pages is not the problem it's the wee blotches on the pages that must be stopped, it interferes with artwork and word bubbles and can ruin the book. Wish I had known that could happen 20 years ago but none if my new books will ever be ruined by blotches from cheap paper.
Where do you live to have that happen? I assumed if you have a decent humidity and temperature in your room that the manga should be fine until you die. Or at least be fine for a VERY long time.
I totally agree with the plastic wrapping. I don't wrap my individual manga in plastic either, for the reasons you explained. The yellowing on the other hand can get annoying, especially when a manga turns dark yellow and starts to smell like old books do. I have some japanese manga from the early 80s which are pretty yellow and there's no way to replace them physically because they have been oop since decades.
Okay I am going to be honest I read books but book for school or something I am interested in I watch anime but I never read manga I am planning to go to the book store and get something what would you recommend?
3:23 We do that but trying to make the plastic fit perfectly with the manga, that way it doesn't look so bad, plus it protects it from dust, sunlight, insects, etc.
idk if anyone agrees but i hate people who open manga at the store and ruing it and leave it there for someone to waste their money on ruined pages and rippied pages :[
the plastic bags is actually insane. and like do they take them out everytime they wanna read them or check something out? I do put a protective plastic cover on my Manga but it's more like a sleeve to make sure I don't ruin the covers bc I always end up ruining them if I don't. it's almost a talent. my parents did the same for my school workbooks for the same reasons. They're like perfect fit and don't affect the actual pages so if you're looking into stopping them from yellowing this wouldn't be a solution I just didn't think anyone would have an issue with the yellowing. People protecting their manga from time while I need to worry abt protecting them from myself 💀 my first two volumes of bsd I didn't protect And the first has huge scratches that took half the art while the second its original cover is holding on with tape and missing a whole chunk.
in my personal experience your 2nd take is very, very wrong, i indivisually bag all my manga i have smaller bags and bigger bags to fit standard size volumes in, and larger 2 in 1 & 3 in 1 volumes, unfortunately there are some series i just cannot bag, for example, vagabond vizbig 3 in 1's i couldnt store them in manga bags as they were slightly too thick, well when i was moving and had all my books in boxes getting them between houses and the cars and storage units, a bird decides to fly over and take a shit right ontop of my vizbig vagabonds, one of my only series not bagged....... if it landed on nearly any other series, it would have been bagged and eaisily replaceable, now i have bird shit stains ontop of the pages of my vagabond, so i reccommend everyone finds bags for all there entire manga collection, and they dont keep moisture iun, they keep moisture out....... and preotect them form dust and yellowing and such, long story short BUY MANGA BAGS THEY ARE WORTH IT, YOUR BOOKS WILL STAY IN BETTER CONDITION AND AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS LIKE MINE.

@@Jaye_The_Gayeo crap sorry for the very late reaction 😂 did you find it already?
Me too i just dont get some collectors why they arrange their manga backwards. Like whu- 😑
me personally? I just prefer how white pages look.
Been collecting for 20 years and bagging your manga is a necessity. Yellowing pages is not the problem it's the wee blotches on the pages that must be stopped, it interferes with artwork and word bubbles and can ruin the book. Wish I had known that could happen 20 years ago but none if my new books will ever be ruined by blotches from cheap paper.
Where do you live to have that happen? I assumed if you have a decent humidity and temperature in your room that the manga should be fine until you die. Or at least be fine for a VERY long time.
All things will yellow and deteriorate, your manga, you.
I don’t think it’s worth it, personally
I totally agree with the plastic wrapping. I don't wrap my individual manga in plastic either, for the reasons you explained. The yellowing on the other hand can get annoying, especially when a manga turns dark yellow and starts to smell like old books do. I have some japanese manga from the early 80s which are pretty yellow and there's no way to replace them physically because they have been oop since decades.
Nothing you can do all books will yellow over time, they’re wood
TAKE THAT PLASTIC OFF 😂
I also think that I should these to my manga
BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MANGA
Eh? You don’t read Japanese right to left. It’s either up to down or left to right.
people who stack their manga landscape upside down like wtf my eyes hurt turn them so i can read the words normally.
I don't like to dog tag my manga so I use book marks
once I ordered a dragon ball Z yamcha on walmart online instead they gave me zelda manga very bad 😡
Agreed on all of these points
Make video on Bakuman plssssssssssssssssssssssssss🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏pls
Okay I am going to be honest I read books but book for school or something I am interested in I watch anime but I never read manga I am planning to go to the book store and get something what would you recommend?
Depends on what type of books you like!
My favorite is One-Punch Man 😄
I wrap my mangas so it don’t damage the cover page haha
I saw someone say he'll never buy a wrapped manga in a physical store. I think you know why.
3:23 We do that but trying to make the plastic fit perfectly with the manga, that way it doesn't look so bad, plus it protects it from dust, sunlight, insects, etc.
hello, i love your vids
My room is really dark so the sun is my enemy for my manga
YES IAM EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
idk if anyone agrees but i hate people who open manga at the store and ruing it and leave it there for someone to waste their money on ruined pages and rippied pages :[
the plastic bags is actually insane. and like do they take them out everytime they wanna read them or check something out?
I do put a protective plastic cover on my Manga but it's more like a sleeve to make sure I don't ruin the covers bc I always end up ruining them if I don't. it's almost a talent.
my parents did the same for my school workbooks for the same reasons.
They're like perfect fit and don't affect the actual pages so if you're looking into stopping them from yellowing this wouldn't be a solution I just didn't think anyone would have an issue with the yellowing.
People protecting their manga from time while I need to worry abt protecting them from myself 💀
my first two volumes of bsd I didn't protect
And the first has huge scratches that took half the art while the second its original cover is holding on with tape and missing a whole chunk.
Anyone who actually pays resell manga that’s still being printed is actually insane because you could literally just read it online.
in my personal experience your 2nd take is very, very wrong, i indivisually bag all my manga i have smaller bags and bigger bags to fit standard size volumes in, and larger 2 in 1 & 3 in 1 volumes, unfortunately there are some series i just cannot bag, for example, vagabond vizbig 3 in 1's i couldnt store them in manga bags as they were slightly too thick, well when i was moving and had all my books in boxes getting them between houses and the cars and storage units, a bird decides to fly over and take a shit right ontop of my vizbig vagabonds, one of my only series not bagged....... if it landed on nearly any other series, it would have been bagged and eaisily replaceable, now i have bird shit stains ontop of the pages of my vagabond, so i reccommend everyone finds bags for all there entire manga collection, and they dont keep moisture iun, they keep moisture out....... and preotect them form dust and yellowing and such, long story short BUY MANGA BAGS THEY ARE WORTH IT, YOUR BOOKS WILL STAY IN BETTER CONDITION AND AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS LIKE MINE.
I write and draw manga so😂
You have BLAME i am opssesed woth ot for past few days
