Guess how many manga books I have
PyTom recently counted his manga graphic novel collection, so I did, too. I didn't think I had as many as I do! Let's play a little game: Guess how many I have!
I only included Asian graphic novels (not the new US-made stuff), both in english and japanese. Manga magazines, like Animerica Extra, and art books were not counted. I started buying manga books around the time of the original Pokemon craze, so it's been several years.
Just so you know, the answer is almost depressing

Re: Guess how many manga books I have
Hmm, with that, it's either depressingly low or quite high. How aobut we throw out a number and you call out "Hot", "Cold", or "Warm/Warmer" depending on how close we are?Blue Lemma wrote:Just so you know, the answer is almost depressing
Lemme see... 25 volumes? ;D

Hm... I'm almost certain the answer should be a natural number. So -313 is out.
"When this random-number generator reaches zero, you'll be executed.
Ten.
Three.
Twelve.
Three again.
Fifteen.
Negative eight."
Okay, I'll give folks the hint that I have 268 books, and Lemma has more.

Not as much as you'd think. Right now, I'm storing my collection on 4 29 inch bookshelves and 6 21" bookshelves. All the shelves are about 75-80% full, except for the last shelf which is maybe 25% full. It takes up a corner of my room, and IIRC weighs about 160 pounds for the books alone.Grey wrote:How many shelves/bookcases/rooms does that equate to?PyTom wrote:Okay, I'll give folks the hint that I have 268 books, and Lemma has more.
I keep everything in alphabetical order, and indexed in a database. Nerd.
A hint is to, where possible, use DVD bookcases, rather than traditional bookcases. The denser packing lets you get more books in the same amount of space. But you will need overflow for oddly shaped manga, like "Batman: Child of Dreams".
My count also includes some western manga-style works (like Amazing Agent Luna and No Man's Land), but doesn't include out and out comics. (Like my complete run of Zot! comics.)

Actually, it was a natural number. That was a hyphen before it. ^_^PyTom wrote:Hm... I'm almost certain the answer should be a natural number. So -313 is out.
Hey BL, come give us a hint!
...How about 619, then?
