I love Dr Stone, but wish it was like 100 chapters longer. I understand that mangakas go through hell though and am content to just expand on the story in my head instead lol

Kingdom Hearts 2, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy X. The only newer one I can think of impacting me on that level is Ghost of Tsushima

I recently got about half of Demon Slayer in a big manga lot. I decided to keep them, but now I’m leaning on selling because I don’t hate the series, but definitely don’t love it. I’m at a point where I’m unhappy looking at my shelf and seeing anything I don’t love.

I’m obsessed with those Sailor Jupiter and Venus figures

Don’t leave them exposed to sunlight (this will cause fading of the cover and yellowing of the pages), make sure your room isn’t humid (some people also put silica gel packets behind their books), and I personally put the ones I care most about in a plastic sleeve to help prevent shelf wear on the edges.

7 Seeds mentioned. One of my faves

What if you message the owner of the server/Discord mod and let them know what’s going on and why you’re wanting to stay anonymous? Maybe ask them to make a post to shut it all down. They can just say something vague like “we have proof it’s not John” so you’re not putting your info out there.

I feel like publishers have been hearing our voices lately so let’s hope so!

Got box of war and the two Guts figures from goodwill. One of my luckiest finds

Fellow dbz watcher as a preschooler here. My first memory is of watching dbz lol and sounds like your grandpa’s a real one

Congrats! I love checking used bookstores

If you like the Devil May Cry games, they have manga for that (can be hard to find though)

I sincerely need a long video tour of your shelves bc I’m obsessed

There’s an old anime for it that I liked as a kid, but I never finished it because I couldn’t find the rest. It’s a pretty cool series!

I have never seen Cyborg 009 manga. Such an awesome haul

I almost exclusively buy used. Used bookstores, game stores, Facebook marketplace, and goodwill. When I do buy new, it’s only Barnes & Noble. Amazon books always end up damaged for me because they are sent in bags instead of boxes.

Hair dryer. Honestly, I’d probably only try to take the smaller stickers off (if they’re on top of the full wrap). I don’t know if the clear plastic is worth the risk of damaging the whole thing.

I know it’s borderline criminal to not read it, but Ouran High School Host Club. Also Fruits Basket. Maybe one day
