Indeed, we don't have Detective Conan nor Bleach (the same reasons like Naruto + I don't particularly like detective stories (manga or novels) )
Nevertheless, if you don't see a serie in the video, that doesn't mean that we don't have this serie. For example, we have Gunnm, Basara, Angelic layer, Chobits, Devilman, Psyren, Captain Tsubasa, Monster, Kimagure Orange road, Ayashi no Ceres etc...but not stored yet in this room ;)
For the update of this video, I'll count exactly these books. But for example, there are 550 books on the first shelf that you see in the video ;)
So, as there are 6 other shelves with the same size, 4 with half of this size, 2 small under the window, and the white-mini with 200 books, I will be very surprise finally to have only 300 books :lol:
Indeed, I don't own anything about Naruto. I'm not a big fan of shounen series anymore (I'm too old ? ). So, even if there are still that I love, I made choices and I buy more series with things that I would not have already read elsewhere (this is why most of my purchases are seinen series).
Nevertheless, a collector's version of Naruto manga will be out soon in France, and this will be an opportunity for me to discover this serie !
It's very rare that I re-read my books (in general just to remind me of old events) and almost never re-watch my DVD, since I didn't really have time to read or watch everything I buy ^^''
Sorry, but I don't own eureka seven neither in manga nor in anime. Anyway, if I am able to do many detailed reviews of a title, it is only in French. Too difficult in English for me ^^'' (and impossible on a vid)
Hey! I haven't known that paradise is in France, I'm so sorry. Your collection is just awesome. It is the biggest collection of manga I've ever seen. Greetings from Germany. ^__^
No need of that, because our collections can be separated easily (each has its own listing always updated) ^^. To summary : 4000 volumes for me and 3000 for her.
There are many, among our 1100 different series. To only name the most popular series : Berserk, HunterXhunter, Hikaru no Go, Jojo's bizarre adventure, Fruits basket, Fushigi Yuugi, Please save my earth, 7 seeds, Vagabond, Battle angel Alita...
As I said before, I bought it in Paris (and I don't live in Paris), in a store specializing in mangas and figurines. It was on display in the window,
Its selling price (Japanese sales price) is 155.000 yens, so approximatively 2000 USD ! In my case, as it was not new, I got it cheaper, even it was my most expensive (and crazy) manga purchase I ever made until now ^^''
This picture is a support that was provided at european greatest manga festival "Japan Expo" in PARIS. On this, the original author of Otomen, Aya Kanno, made her nice signature.
im in love <3 when i saw this i was like :D and then i thought with all tht anime figures and manga how much was all that!?!? o.O i hope i get a big collection like that
On a dépensé...beaucoup, mais sur 15 ans et en considérant que c'est 90% de nos dépenses loisirs. Depuis 5 ans notre rythme d'achat s'est accéléré et il faut compter à peu près 900 tomes neufs par an (l'achat de DVD s'est, lui, bcp plus freiné)
Sinon, quasiment tout ce qui est dans cette pièce a été lu, soit par l'un soit par l'autre ou soit par les deux. Les mangas non encore lus étant stockés à part dans la chambre et dans 4 moyennes étagères ;)
Hope to see your updating your collecting and telling us what series you got, etc. On a different note, I'm confused as to what I should do. I own a little over 100 manga and I want to keep collecting, its an extremely fun hobby, but also expensive. Some of the series I want to read can't be read in English, OFFICIALLY, but if I like that series I want to physically own it (some series I want have also been canceled). The collector in me wants to buy them... but I won't be able to read them!
@sephirothfromff7 I know what you mean! i have a few books in japanese, not because i can READ japanese, but because the collector in me just says "I WANT THEEM!!" . i must say, even if i can't read it, i can still look pictures and im proud of having them (it's only 16 books or so i have in japanese)
Yes, my I''s collection (15 volumes of Katsura) is in its original version (I own the french one too, but not on this video). Also, the white shelf with mini-mangas contains, of course, mangas in japanese (200 volumes of Tezuka). and that's all... ;)
intimidatingly great collection! what was your favorite romance/comedy that had a lasting impact on you? maybe a twist ending or something unexpected. keep in mind i like my manga a bit mature, i dont need ecchi though but i like manga that is real life for example the struggle with sex, and friendship, and jealousy. im picky with this stuff but i love real life romance types.
I am tempted to respond with ease with "Nana", but if it has strong emotions at the first part, it's still a bit artificial for the rest. a most affecting work of Yazawa is rather "last quarter" I think. Lately I read the masterpiece of the 70s of Kazuo KAMIMURA : "Dousei jidai", the atmosphere is very realistic and exhilarating : a mustread!
Otherwise, if I could choose a Josei that remains in my heart, "Kimi wa pet" is a lovely title :)
Interesting question, but the answer is really difficult ;)
I suppose that, concerning shônen, my favorites could be HunterXHunter, Hikaru no GO and Jojo's bizarre adventure. For shôjo, I could choose Please save my earth, Fruits basket or Versailles no bara. And for seinen (this is what I have the most), Let's choose Berserk, Vagabond, Gunnm or The world is mine. For classical series, my favorites are Phoenix (Tezuka) and Sabu to ichi (Ishinomori).
@Kalkin27 Thanks alot for the reply! I would like to try hunterxhunter and also Hakaru no Go! The world is mine also sounds like a good series! You should make more videos!
You have a manga museum! OMG, fantastic collection!!! This is what helping the anime industry is about! Buying a shit load of anime products you love!!! ^_^
Thanks! Moreover, this is precisely one of the points that has been emphasized in our collection : as much as possible, we support publishers with new purchases (used items only if not otherwise findable). The problem is that some (too) nice series was stopped because of low sales in our contry, and I hate that. IMHO, help the industry to continue to provide us beautiful works seems very important!
And a note for all other : many thanks for all your warm comments ;)
@Kalkin27 I always try and support the anime industry I love it too much to let see it fall down. My collection of DVDs and manga's are not as impressive as your's but I do have a video of it if you want to check it out ^_^ It's "I support the Anime Industry' video.
I had already seen your vid few days ago ;) Nice collection and good mind that I agree to 100 %. It's nice to see people motivated to defend their passion and are not just consumers ! (such consumers disgusted me a lot few years ago for a similar story : they preferred to have an illegal DVD product (up to defend the outlaw publisher!) rather than support the authors and wait a legal product)
The song is "Deceiver of fools" from the album "mother earth" by the metal/rock band "within temptation". The last BGM is one from the anime of Dragon quest (dai no daibôken) ^^
Were those miniature manga's at 3:05? I am in deep love with your very large and amazing collection; I am very jealous of your master piece! Great work! Once something is added, I would love to know, so therefore I subscribed. ^^
Next year, I will probably make another vid, more complete (the last on this apartment, after that we will have to move for more space lol )
Concerning mini-mangas, as I said before, these are 200 mangas of Osamu Tezuka, with the tiny format of 5.0 x 6.8 cm (2.0 x 2.7 inches) and are the exact reproductions (of half) of Tezuka's Kodansha complete works. They are perfectly readable, and have a beautiful print quality (in japanese language of course ;) )
I didn't know this serie (moreover it isn't published in France) but I looked at what it's about and it sounds very interesting indeed (for similarities, I'm also looking to collect more rare titles). Thank you for pointing that out!
for the organization that require a long answer, but for the sake of brevity, let's say that there is no specific plan. There are some groups of series by author (a kind of tribute to corner several places in the library) but even there, all the books of this author are not necessarily there. Which guided the storage is to maximize the limited place and the position and development of all series. Not a (classic) linear storage but the chaos of colors and shapes of a metropolis
In this roomn almost everything has been read, but not always by the same person of the couple ;) Some are read by two, and some only by one of two. Of course I want to read all of them at the end. For completeness a few complete (and not yet read) series are also stored in this room for lack of space elsewhere. It is the series in two rows with the first volumes in the front (otherwise the first volumes are behind)
... --.-- Everyone is always telling me that /I/ have a big collection... I DON'T EVEN HAVE 100!!! I R JEALOUS!!! I HATE YOU!!! OUT OF JEALOUSY!!! GRRRRR!!! I WOULD SERIOUSLY SELL MY SOUL TO SEBASTIAN FOR THIS ROOM AND ALL ITS CONTENTS!!! D*:<
0.0 OMG!!!!!!!! And I bow to you because i've been collecting anime for about 5 years & manga for about 3 years, I only have 180+ in anime & 260+ in manga, not even half of 891
your collection is already nice and the value of a collection is not only measured by the amount of items ;).
Moreover, in France, it has become quite common to have more than 1000 books in its collection (for example, over 1600 people have this type of collection (over 1000), according to the site I manage my collection, but that doesn't mean they were all hard to build...)
We specifically have exactly 6382 vols of manga, manhwa and manhua and some other artbooks, fanbooks, guidebooks. And 721 DVD/Blu-Ray (a box of DVD accounting for one DVD). So, we exceed 7000 items.
I will try to put the entire collection in a future video (with slideshow pics for the rest)
For a video game collection, sorry, we don't have enough to be very interesting (even if we also have a good interest in video games). Besides, games and consoles are not at all rows in a presentable way lol
everyone claims that my collection is enormous, but i do believe you have dwarfed it considerably! (by six times, if I read your description correctly!)
it is a spectacular collection, congratulations! :)
I also love the size and appearance of the French (and Japanese) manga volumes. The American ones are rather bulky and not as neat looking as the ones you have :)
The first french mangas were similar to the american ones.But in the middle 90's, a new publisher tried sucessfully to publish books the most similar to the original japanese ones (in size and with a jacket cover and not only a simple softcover).However, some other french manga have other characteristics, that aren't those of japanese books, especially some deluxe editions (hardcover and/or sized comics, bookmark integrated)
I don't know exactly how much it all cost, but certainly tens of thousands of dollars (considering that the majority of items have been purchased new, with an average of 6-7 euros per volume for books example). However, these purchases were most of our entertainment budget for years, and it would be far less resale (especially DVD).
Amazing collection, looks like a Japanese book store! I feel like making my game room into a Japanese themed room with manga, anime, and all that stuff. :D

Anniehook02 2 months ago
@Anniehook02
The song is "Deceiver of fools" from the album "mother earth" by the metal/rock band "within temptation". The last BGM is one from the anime of Dragon quest (dai no daibôken) ^^

@Kalkin27 okay i got the first one. But whats the song called from dragon quest?
Anniehook02 2 months ago
@Anniehook02
It comes from Dai no Daibouken OST (Movie/CD1). The opening theme from 'Dai no Daiboken' (no specific name to my knowledge)

Were those miniature manga's at 3:05? I am in deep love with your very large and amazing collection; I am very jealous of your master piece! Great work! Once something is added, I would love to know, so therefore I subscribed. ^^

Many thanks !
Next year, I will probably make another vid, more complete (the last on this apartment, after that we will have to move for more space lol )
Concerning mini-mangas, as I said before, these are 200 mangas of Osamu Tezuka, with the tiny format of 5.0 x 6.8 cm (2.0 x 2.7 inches) and are the exact reproductions (of half) of Tezuka's Kodansha complete works. They are perfectly readable, and have a beautiful print quality (in japanese language of course ;) )

Also: are you familiar with the series Kingyo Used Books? I have a feeling you would like it, given its subject matter :)

I didn't know this serie (moreover it isn't published in France) but I looked at what it's about and it sounds very interesting indeed (for similarities, I'm also looking to collect more rare titles). Thank you for pointing that out!

Random question: how is everything organized (if it even is)?
BTW I have only 20 or so Manga… ^_^
YoSoyEdo 3 months ago
@YoSoyEdo
for the organization that require a long answer, but for the sake of brevity, let's say that there is no specific plan. There are some groups of series by author (a kind of tribute to corner several places in the library) but even there, all the books of this author are not necessarily there. Which guided the storage is to maximize the limited place and the position and development of all series. Not a (classic) linear storage but the chaos of colors and shapes of a metropolis

@xTHExFALLx
In this roomn almost everything has been read, but not always by the same person of the couple ;) Some are read by two, and some only by one of two. Of course I want to read all of them at the end. For completeness a few complete (and not yet read) series are also stored in this room for lack of space elsewhere. It is the series in two rows with the first volumes in the front (otherwise the first volumes are behind)

Thank you very much!
your collection is already nice and the value of a collection is not only measured by the amount of items ;).
Moreover, in France, it has become quite common to have more than 1000 books in its collection (for example, over 1600 people have this type of collection (over 1000), according to the site I manage my collection, but that doesn't mean they were all hard to build...)
Kalkin27 3 months ago
Very impressive. Over 6000+ items? For my collection of manga & anime it'd take light years to get anywhere near there.
Also I noticed you uploaded a game related video before this, can we expect to see a video game collection too?
GinkoArtEtc 3 months ago
We specifically have exactly 6382 vols of manga, manhwa and manhua and some other artbooks, fanbooks, guidebooks. And 721 DVD/Blu-Ray (a box of DVD accounting for one DVD). So, we exceed 7000 items.
I will try to put the entire collection in a future video (with slideshow pics for the rest)
For a video game collection, sorry, we don't have enough to be very interesting (even if we also have a good interest in video games). Besides, games and consoles are not at all rows in a presentable way lol

my jaw has dropped...
everyone claims that my collection is enormous, but i do believe you have dwarfed it considerably! (by six times, if I read your description correctly!)
it is a spectacular collection, congratulations! :)
I also love the size and appearance of the French (and Japanese) manga volumes. The American ones are rather bulky and not as neat looking as the ones you have :)
kamikazestrwbry 3 months ago
Thank you very much !!
The first french mangas were similar to the american ones.But in the middle 90's, a new publisher tried sucessfully to publish books the most similar to the original japanese ones (in size and with a jacket cover and not only a simple softcover).However, some other french manga have other characteristics, that aren't those of japanese books, especially some deluxe editions (hardcover and/or sized comics, bookmark integrated)
So the books that are larger or thicker above ;)

It's beautiful this right here ); How much money in total xD?

Thanks !
I don't know exactly how much it all cost, but certainly tens of thousands of dollars (considering that the majority of items have been purchased new, with an average of 6-7 euros per volume for books example). However, these purchases were most of our entertainment budget for years, and it would be far less resale (especially DVD).
