If I create any more piles of manga in my apartment I fear that I will pass away in a manga-related accident. Goodreads - / tonireadsmanga Instagram - / tonireadsthemanga Email - tonireadsmanga@gmail.com
I don't know what to do with some of the series I have. All I know is there are a lot of series I have that need rereading and then will try to decide if I really want to keep some of them. The secret is for me to stop buying 😅 I did purchase an old oop series and it's surprising how well I remembered most of it, and what an underwhelming ending...that now I'm like, why did I buy it, why do it to myself!
If I can’t get the motivation to sell them on eBay or something I might just donate them to my library. I value the shelf space more than the money I would get back from reselling them.
I read One More Step right when my preorder came in and then donated it almost immediately! Then the reading vlogs and reviews came out and everybody loved it….glad that I wasn’t the only one to not really connect with the stories.
Everyone said how heart-wrenching and emotional the last story was but it just made me angry… and the rest of the stories were mostly romance-based so I was never going to like those anyway. At least the art was nice lol
I don’t collect anything that can be read through Shonen Jump. I have too much manga already and any space I can save I will. If I really want to support the creator I can always buy the volumes digitally.
I won’t buy anything digitally unless it’s DRM-free or it’s the only possible way to read it (oop series, for example). I don’t mind reading through the Shonen Jump app but if it’s something I think I’ll reread then I like having a physical copy.
You're so ❤less Toni 😔 lol. Ugh I really need to actually get my ass in gear and put up my unhauls online. Hey, Laughing Under The Clouds...You thought it was fine, eh? By the time I got to reading the last volume, Ive never consistently rolled my eyes so hard and so much, reading manga before. Such superest (no not a real word, but I'ma use it anyways) of the corniest of cheese, I think I became lactose-intolerant 😂 Such a slog to try and get through. Definitely went straight into my unhaul box of manga the second I closed the last page. PS : You need to totally give Children of the Whales a second chance Toni, you ❤️ less manga monster 🤬 JOKING! JOKING!!! It's a joke 😆 Don't come for me, I just couldn't help myself there😅
I don’t mind cheesy as you probably know, I just felt like the story was way too short to tackle the world-ending stakes it introduced. I can definitely go back and continue Children of the Whales if you want me to rant about it more lol
I've got a nice stack of about 50 volumes ready to unhaul also. If you haven't gotten rid of Dark Gathering I'd be interested. I'm not normally a SJ fan but that one looked interesting to me.
If I had a time machine to go back and tell you to sell your heart of Thomas for bank I would. But I would just have to give ya the "trust me bro" so you believe me 😂
With a lot of these series, I usually feel like they are good and enjoyable but not really memorable? I enjoyed reading Laughing under the clouds and One more step but I just feel like they are not oustanding enough for me to own a copy. Same for so many shorter BLs.

@@tonireadsmanga I hear you! I'll probably do that with some. Some manga isn't even worth the hassle of selling

Dark Gathering has such cool covers! Relieved none of my favorites were on this list! LOL!
Yeah I love the covers, it’s a shame that the art in the digital version looks better than the physical version so I can’t justify keeping it

Yeah I still have them, I’ll message you on Instagram.
Yes! I love a good unhaul! 😜 I’ve decided to unhaul Rent-a-Girlfriend. I’m pretty sure I was the only one still reading it past voljme 20 😂
Now everyone is going to say “I told you so” lol
@@tonireadsmangayeah… 😂😂
If I had a time machine to go back and tell you to sell your heart of Thomas for bank I would. But I would just have to give ya the "trust me bro" so you believe me 😂
I never would have done it because it would have messed up my Moto Hagio collection lol
@@tonireadsmanga But you GOTTA trust me LOL. I know it would not have worked. But Im happy you got a nice updated one!
❤❤❤
Yay for unhauls!! Get rid of the manga that just aren’t worth the shelf space!
I love an excuse to complain about stuff lol

Yep, there are many series I feel that way about. Unfortunately I don’t have enough shelf space for all the “pretty good” series I’ve read.
