Haha, that sounds like a part of my dream game room, with all my games, and a shelf for all my manga. I have a lot of manga myself. Nowadays it's easy to read manga online, but nothing beats having the actual thing in your hands, sitting down and having a good reading session.

Funny you mention Pokemon Adventures. Some of us started reading it and report our readings here, though I've been slacking a little on it... I should get back to it. It's definitely interesting and personally better than the anime. I also read some of Ranma 1/2m which is also a fun read.

And I also read Negima before I kinda quit on it. It got too long and wordy. Plus the ending was so terrible. It seemed like the manga artist just got fed up and wrapped it all up in a nice bow. Too convenient. It looks like it wasn't the only one who fell out on it....

...Just like how I fell out of Rosario Vampire too. I am not alone!

Chuckle, yeah once a series has been going on a while I'll usually stop and ask myself if I'm still actually enjoying it. A surprising number of times I realize that I'm not. It happened for Negima, Rosario Vampire, and Fairy Tail so I stopped reading them in some cases only a few volumes before the end. God only knows how I managed to finish Naruto. Yeah, after getting into manga full time, I hunted down and read the rest of Pokemon adventure. I enjoyed all of Red's story, but wasn't interested in any of the sequels.

Yeah Ranma 1/2 is a pretty good read, Takahashi does wacky hijinks like a pro. Her new series Rin-ne is really good too.

I also like physical manga but I'll only buy it if I'm really enjoying the series and feel like I'll re-read it. Though, my judgement isn't spot-on as having all those Negima volumes will show. Still, having a whole bookcase full of manga is pretty nice. Thankfully, I've been able to find them cheap since between novels and manga I've filled four bookcases

Came across with this article, the top 30 selling mangas in Japan so far (from November 23, 2015 to Mayy 22, 2016)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-05-29/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series-2016/.102636

Is any of the mangas you guys read on the list?

 

One piece the king of sales!!!!!!!!!

Bleach is not doing too hot. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Nice to see ERASED in the top ten, it definitely deserves the sales.

Heard of most of these, but I've got to wonder about that Volleyball one in fourth. Huge sales for something I've never heard of.

Yeah, I hate having to drop manga I get into, but sometimes it just happens with some manga. Something goes astray with some, and I just fall out of them. I used to read some like Medeka Box and Yandere Kanojo, but something happened with those manga and I just... dropped them. I wonder if it's just me or if the manga is losing the charm it once had. I dunno... There's likely some more I dropped because I just lost interest.

Yeah, usually if I'm not enjoying a manga after 2 or 3 volumes, I tend to stop buying those, though that makes for some weird incomplete sets in my collection xD
