OMG a fellow Azure fan found out in the wild??🌙💛
Everyone loves Sett but I’m an Azure girlie
I was expecting you to talk about snow white with the red hair it’s my favourite 😞
I talk a lot about Shirayuki in my reading wrap up videos! I love the series a lot and am up to date with the manga English releases so I talk a lot about it in other videos~
How does it feel to live my dream?✨
It can be your reality too!!
The fact that you have so many manga wows me- and Shoujo too! Most collectors I see collect mostly Shōnen, but it’s nice to see Shoujo collectors also! The amount of money you must have spent though.. Poor walley
I used to get a lot of gift cards from work that I used almost exclusively on manga. I don’t get them anymore so my buying has come down a lot. I buy a lot of older stuff second hand so I get deals on it!
The way you treat your Red River volumes is how I treat my Please Save My Earth volumes 😅 Also I will never understand MHA manga hate - I don't collect the series since its rather long and I need to prioritize shelf space for other series, but I still think Horikoshi is one of the best currently-working artists in Jump right now. His paneling and character work esp is amazing for a weekly action series, I would love to see him do a horror manga after MHA wraps.
I’m normally not precious about “rare” volumes but the older stuff needs to be protected lol MHA is really fun. I remember back in the day people talking about Naruto and Naruto fans the same way they talk about MHA now. I think eventually people will understand how good it is!
bUt i HaD tO rEmOvE tHosE👹👹 2:15 My adhd personified btw I love your collection so much ❤❤
Always look foward to these. Nice to see another collector of the bilingual editions. I have these for GTO, Cardcaptor Sakura, Attack on Titan, Peach Girl and Jungle Emperor Leo. I should get Chihayafuru. I'm keeping my volume 1 of Red River stored carefully as well.
The bilingual editions are really interesting! It’s nice to have some sort of Chihayafuru volumes in some sort of English
Amazing collection!!
I have over 100 in my collection (can't remember exact number off the top of my head). I organize alphabetically.
Awesome video!!! I have a question? How do you read your Japanese volumes? I want to read some series that only in Japanese but I don't know Japanese.
I took Japanese in college! I studied for 4 years and spent a semester in Japan. I'm not very good at reading in japanese but practice is always good.
Lovely tour! Thank you for showing your collection off for us yet again! 💕 I reread Legal Drug a little while back after picking up the sequel volumes and I swear I forgot literally everything that happened in it. I bought the first volumes when they were first released in english and I know I read them a bunch of times, but when I went back to it, it was very much a "Huh? All of this happens??" kind of experience. Even now I'm sure I've forgotten a bunch of the story again, there's something that's kind of slippery about it lol
I don’t know what it is about Legal Drug but I can never remember anything about it. When I read it, I know I like it but after I’m done it just goes away
loved seeing lovesick ellie in your collection!! i only read it a few months back, but i absolutely adored it, its so funny!! very jealous of your hana kimi and sand chronicles singles, they look so nice all together!!
I adore Lovesick Ellie! I got very luck with Sand Chronicles. Hopefully I can finish up collecting both sand chronicles and Hana Kimi soon!
i plan buying the volumes of a sign of affection this year! is it a good series?
It's very good! I learned a lot about Japanese Sign Language from it and it's a super sweet romance! Highly recommend!
@@ChristyLou thank u! i will totally get the manga
I have those Rose of Versailles hardcovers, they are gorgeous! I have fond memories of borrowing Ceres from a friend in high school and being like “omg wtf” bc that series is kind of weird and wild lol. I started using the double stack method for my manga after your last video and it has been a lifesaver!
I've seen the anime for Ceres and it's just the type of crazy I love~
I love all your little extra things on your shelves!
Thanks! I feel like the extra decorations really make them part of the design of my room
Yay!! I love that you focus mainly on Shoujo series.
I spent my whole youth reading Shonen series. I feel more at home with Shojo stuff~
I SQUEAKED WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY SUB BOX I'M SO EXCITEDDDD NEW CHRISTY LOU VIDEO YAY!!
Sorry it took so long! Hopefully I’ll be more consistent going forward!!
@@ChristyLou i will be waiting for as long as it takes! was great watching this:)
Ummm I’m going to need 3 of those single volumes of Tokyo Babylon to match my other 4 because I have like 3 different editions of that series 🤣 Lovely collection though!! Can’t wait to see how it continues to grow 💞
I think I found them at an anime convention. I've had them for a few years now. The Clamp stuff is so crazy because there are so many different editions!
Did you learn how to read Japanese? If you did, how did you do it??
I can read a little bit. I took classes in university and did a semester abroad in Japan. I didn't study as much post uni so I'm not as good anymore, but I can understand a little bit!
I'd love to collect manga magazines, but because they're bulky shipping is so expensive! I'll probably only get the issues where a series I like is on the cover or furoku 😔
Yeah it really is. If I had a Kinokuniya near me I’d get more and more often, but I’m stuck having to do the subscription (which I’ve stopped). I’ll just randomly get certain issues if my friends can pick them up for me or I can order them with something else
@@ChristyLou hello! I gave in and bought a bunch of used Margaret issues from 2023-2024 because Yojouhan no Ibarahime has me on a chokehold😭 Luckily I was able to find a box sharing service in my country and the shipping is about 1k yen per kilo for air, while it's about 300 yen per magazine for sea cargo. Maybe there is something similar where you live? Anyways, this is still a dent in my wallet but girl math is telling me I got a deal✨
I've heard about a few publishers who publish digitally, is this like a niche practise for jpn publishers or is this just an alternative?
Digital is becoming more popular! Most print manga magazines have some sort of digital option and there are some magazines that are exclusively digital too. I’m not sure what the chapter availability is like vs the print magazine (like if the digital comes out at the same time). But I know it’s an option
fun video!
Sorry for the bad lighting. All of my good lights are broken!
thank you so much for this! it was exactly what i was looking for^^ also your hair is gorgeous! ♡
wow awesome collection sis 💯💯💯💯💥💥💥
omg i didn't realize that Anashin's new manga has been published now!! i'm so glad i watched this video because i immediately ordered the first volume and pre ordered the 2nd one. i hope my manga collection grows as big as yours!! <3
Great job!!!
The shelves look great! It's such a nice feeling getting everything in order, I know I have to get some new shelves soon to get my own cases straightened up. I also see that pinky promise Sakura on your clamp shelf, she's such a lovely piece!
Thank you! They really do feel so much nicer now that I don't have a pile of books on the bottom. and the Pinky Promise Sakura is my pride and joy!
This is so cool
I also hate double stacking!!
I wish I had the space to not double stack stuff. Maybe some day!
@@ChristyLou I have a couple series I have to double stack too. 😥
That's clever to double stack by putting the same series behind each other! I think I'm gonna try that with my manga to see if I can make some more space on the shelf that I keep it on.
I saw my friend stack the series like that and it was so clever! It solved like half my problems with double stacking
what series did you put away and why?? i'd love to know!!
I got rid of 3. Ima Koi - I found this pretty boring and had nothing special to me. Golden Japanesque which took a turn I did not like and Vampire Dormitory which I found absolutely terrible after reading 5 volumes.
Don't worry a Collection tour is coming very soon! 🌻
Shoujo manga has such a rich history and a certain style of storytelling that really appeals to me. Plus, there is less chance of uncomfortable fanservice that objectifies women or gross male characters. I can't fathom wanting to erase all that uniqueness and clump it in with shounen or wanting to get rid of shoujo manga magazines (which have such pretty names! Personally I'd rather read something from "Hana to Yume" or "Nakayoshi" than "Shounen Jump" just because of my personal aesthetics). Let shoujo fans, no matter what their gender is, enjoy the content they love so much.
What are some manga you can suggest which have no sex scenes, suggestive themes, violence, love triangles (these annoy me) and death?
I’m here cause I miss shojo beat so bad
Out of all the shonen jump manga to get you get my hero 🤮
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOUR COLLECTION IS SO BIG AND PRETTY! One day I want to have one of my own ( Its currently growing hehe ) I especially wanna include Snow White with the Red Hair and Yona of the dawn!!! AHHH one 2 of my favorite shoujoss ^^ Im wondering what is inside of the fanbooks of itt? hihi
I love Honey Lemon Soda
Is lovesick Ellie completed in English?🩷
It is! Both digitally and physical!
Everyone raves about Queens Quality so I bought it. I could barely make it through the first volume. I found it extraordinarily boring personally.
I’m sorry you didn’t find it enjoyable. :/
If Angel Sanctuary wasn’t about incest and instead focused on a gay couple, it would probably be my favorite manga of all time!
I haven’t read a ton of Angel Sanctuary so overall themes I’m not fully aware of, but a feeling I get is that the MC is being punished for his relationship. I don’t feel like that would go over very well with a queer couple instead.
@@ChristyLou Beyond volume 5, Setsuna goes through many different trials and endures many hardships to save Sara and he does this despite being told that his relationship with her is wrong (which it definitely is let’s be clear). As a gay man myself, I feel like this story would work with a gay m/m couple because the themes would mirror how real-life conservatives view the LGBTQ+ community and say we’re all going to Hell for liking someone with the same-sex and how we as a community have to continually fight for who we love.
i been reading Yona of the dawn an i have read up to Ch.251
I’m just caught up with the English release. Vol 40~
@@ChristyLou - oh wow :)
Your love for Queen's Quality definitely put it on my radar! SO glad I read it last year because this is one of my favorites too! Honey Lemon Soda has been so wonderful! I agree that if someone likes Kimi ni Todoke, they will like that one too! My Special One volume two made me cry too! LOL! Snow White with the Red Hair is so so so amazing, but I second that I am missing Shiryauki and Zen being together too! Great video!
I really need to catch up on honey lemon soda. I think I’m going to pick up a few more volumes so I can binge a bit more. And QQ is such a special series. I’m glad you are enjoying it!
Heyyyy Christy love your vids i have not bin watching for that long but still love them keep up the work😄
Thanks for watching!
I giggled watching this (in a good way). Really made my lunch break fun at work 😄 thank you for the vid!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I just wanted to make something festive and fun~
Very wise decision!
