Postby Shao Feng-Li » Mon Jul 30, 2007 1:13 pm

What's the longest manga series you've collected in full?

For me it's Rurouni Kenshin at 28 volumes.

Collected in full? All the series I'm following are currently either still running in Japan or not fully published in America. Right now, though, my record would be 14 (English) volumes of FullMetal Alchemist.

The longest series I've collected is definitely Rurouni Kenshin, at 28 volumes. I've got a few other series that go over 20 volumes that I'm in the middle of collecting or am planning to collect in the future, though. XD

"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

*runs to go check* That would beee...

Fruits basket! At 17 vol. I don't have a very diverse manga collection at all, though, sadly enough. I really should go and pick up some more whenever I get the extra moola.

Bleach at 20 volumes now surpasses my OMG collection.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

I like +anima, it's a cute series :)
I agree it isn't the best thing ever written, but it's cute enough that it keeps me going :lol:

Well, the one I collect is very old. They are pretty hard to find, but are quite cheap on clearance sales:

Glass Mask Volume 1-42
Warujo (Bad Girl) Volume 1-37

My collection is quite old. ~1993. They are hard to find, but not expensive since they are in clearance sale.

Glass Mask (Garasu no Kamen) Volume 1-42
Warujo (Bad Girl) Volume 1-37

It is hard to find any recent shojo manga that is as long and well written. Glass Mask, a story about a girl who love acting with great passion, is animated recently, so some people may be familiar with it. Warujo on the other hand is about a dumb and ugly girl working in a big company with no future; but she falls in love with this guy who is way out of her league. And thus, her quest to "upgrade" herself to become closer to him.

FMA is the longest I've collected in full... Most of the time, someone will end up lending me a few volumes, so I don't buy the whole thing... XD

...AND Bleach is now at 21 volumes, still the longest run in my collection.

I do kind of wonder if the total bulk of 'Pokemon' titles owned by No. 2 Son qualify as a larger collection, but I'm not sure if they are 'complete'.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.
