Ever since I finished school I started buying manga in physical format again to expand my collection from when I was in high school, I figured it would look nice on a shelf at some point too.
Some of the pages from my old books were yellowed and I don't want that to happen to my new mangas.
tl;dr how do you display your physical manga and how can I prolong their life?
Buy a humidifier, dryness in paper is actually a thing
>>134406151
a lot of where I've been reading have been suggesting vacuum sealing.
wouldn't a humidifier be counter intuitive to that logic?
It depends on what kind of shitty paper the licensor used, another reason to buy the original instead.

Fucking retards.
>>134406226
I believe he meant a DEhumidifier.
>>134406300
>checked
I don't mind buying localized manga since it's an easier format to read it without having to learn how to read moon runes.I will eventually
>>134406226
No, the vacuum prevents air from taking moisture from paper.
>>134406082
Here is my collection (yeah I also collect western comics don't bully me for that please)
Are you sure that the books with the yellow pages weren't already like that when you bought them? Maybe they had been exposed for a long time? Because the only ones I have where the yellowing is noticeable are those I bought at newstands after they had been basically exposed to the open air for (I think) over a week.
Anyway the yellowing is a result of the oxydation of the the paper, so minimizing the exposure to the air, for example by putting them on a shelf in such a way that only one side of the pages is exposed, should slow down the (unfortunately unstoppable on long term) process. Also try avoiding exposure to the sun or to high temperatures in general. I'm not sure what a humidifier would do though.

Not everyone has time to learn japanese or the money to buy entire collections from overseas. Also, where I live (not an english speaking country) the adaptations are usually good (with some terrible exceptions though, like Medaka Box), I greatly appreciate the efforts that scanlators put in their work, but sometimes fanmade translations are just goofy, honestly I'd pick official ones over them.

It's all sideways and grainy as hell, how the fuck is anyone supposed to identify anything on there?
>>134406764
your shelves look like something I see at a bookstore! so neat!
the books I got were a brighter white when I figure bought them like this
>>134406898those were images I found on google m8
>>134406300
it's better than fucking scanlations
So is this a physical mango collection thread or not?
>>134406898
Fuck you man shoujo shit is great. Love me some Kimi ni Todoke.
>>134407011
Sorry, I took this picture at my house in my hometown out of nostalgia, but I attend college in another city, so I can't show you a better one. No idea why it got sideways when I uploaded it though
>>134407071
Thank you. I've been collecting manga for over five years I think and it always feels good to admire it.
As for the paper, exposing the books like that has worked for me so far, so I didn't bother looking for another method to preserve them. I guess sealing them could work too.
As this anon >>134406278 pointed out though the kind of paper used is also important
>>134407418
Pretty much

Mexican confirmed.
>>134406082
Keep out of dust and sunlight.
>>134407835
how often do you reread the stuff you have?
>>134407982
so if I keep them on a shelf and dust them regularly they should be fine?
>>134408042
Lately, a fairly decent amount.
Usually when a new volume comes out I'll breeze through the previous volume to refresh.
>>134407940
Great store you have.
>>134408035
Looks good and noice collection overall.
>>134407940
I was interested in getting those Battle Royale manga, but then I found that vol 4/5 are basically impossible to find.
>>134406226
>soul eater 1,2 and 7
what why did you skip 3,4,5,6?
Started collecting around the summertime this year.
>>134408215

>>134408201
Read them online and bought the volumes when it was convenient. I'll buy the other volumes eventually.
They will turn yellow

What is up with all this shit taste in this thread?
>>134408241
That's not naruto, so it is okay
>>134407073
Yeah, Iocalization worked out pretty well for narutaru
Faggot
>>134408511
Bought it off of a recommendation since I liked punpun, wasn't as good as I was expecting but it wasn't that bad.
>>134408511

>That's not naruto, so it is okay
Asking

Son, what the fuck are you doing?

>implying Junji Ito is bad
>>134408241
What's wrong with Junji Ito?
>>134408948
>>134409064
Nothing at all. Uzumaki is plain shit though.
>>134409110
If you mean the ending of it, then I agree
>>134409129
Most of his endings are like that, though.At least they ended up together at the end.
>>134409129
The first 10-12 chapters were decent overall I have to say, but when he decided to write a continuous story for it then everything went into fullretard and painful.
>>134406082
This thread only proves mangafags have shit taste.
>>134409426
Prove your taste is better.
>>134409157
Yeah. It's nice that theyget around eventually.
>>134408511
>Aku no Hana

>>134408511
Aku no hana is not rotoscoped in the manga.

Manga went to total shit after thr botched suicide incident
Anyone who disagrees needs to commit sudoku immediately
>>134410084
Your opinion is wrong.
>>134410151
>just because you're correct, doesn't mean you're right
>>134406300
You know why scanlations and fansubs exist in the first place, right?
I just got the latest volume of Trash and that dungeon comic everyone here likes

I still liked it

I understand not buying localized anime, ad you can just download the BDs and buy the japanese BD for shelf which usually look better
But localized manga are normally better quality that the japanese volumes, and the collected works volumes being put out now are very nice. And unlike anime, reading a book off the shelf actually has a use if you dislike tablet reading.
>>134408695
>not a little girl
>/a/
I don't understand what's surprising, everyone here is a little girl.
>>134410542
>normally better quality that the japanese volumes
Except for the translations which can be a bit dodgy at times, but that's more down to who localized it I guess.
>>134410542
I would never buy over priced BD from japan that I can't even understand. They aren't even subbed.
Waiting for the final volume of Vertical's Gundam The Origin to arrive in the next few days.
>>134410980
How are those? I was considering them but they're fucking expensive.
>>134411013
It's pretty worth it, I think.
>>134409871
>>134409934
It's fucking shit. The fags hyping this garbage on /a/ were just brain damaged.
