Ever wanted to see what my manga collection was like? Well, here it is! I wanted to do this kind of post for a while, after watching a video created by Otaku Vlogger, Naruto is my Brother, on his impressive collection. Unfortunately, I do not have a decent video cam for my own video, so I settled with a few pictures–along with an Excel spreadsheet of my growing library. Here are a few Before and After pictures, taken with my camera phone, of the collection I had before I moved in 2006, and the collection I have right now in 2008:

Before

In Between Before and After…

After

Wow! What an accomplishment! All of that could fit inside one 62 qt. box. If I were to move again anytime soon, I would need at least three boxes, plus and another bookshelf! Pardon the mess…See the difference in the second picture? That was taken in March ’07, right after I put everything in place after moving out of my old, smaller room. In the third photo, I have alot of manga that I haven’t had the chance to put away. The stack you see of the left are all my Bleach manga volumes I purchased in November. Volumes 8-21, including 1-7 (on the top shelf) I bought when Waldenbooks closed. Good times. The ones you see left are some of my Naruto and Genshiken copies that are unread. Pretty impressive, huh? Now all I need to do it read them all. ^_^;
