#i dont wish ffa was worse so ppl might not want it as bad but ugh. its good and there's not a lot of copies 😔

I thought about how I wanted to physically own From Far Away again, and I really do hate that it's considered a rare and collectible series in the manga community. I really could not care less about shit like supply and demand and that collector's mentality of bagging their items and displaying them and showcasing them.

I only really got into buying manga at all because last year I wanted trigun books, learned they were generally $15-30 used because they were oop, and so I decided to actually put effort into owning a series I liked in case that happened again. but keeping up with buying/selling/trading manga, there's such an annoying mentality that's almost like hoarding what's rare, I hateee it. idk, I hate seeing people's posts online of their massive collection that they say they haven't read half of them yet while I'm struggling to find an acceptable copy for less than $30 im just like hhhhhhhh

#personal #i see an old book and im like. that was 10 before. its oop now so sure $15. not like $30+ #i couldnt imagine being introduced to trigun this year and wanting to own the manga #esp when ppl try to sell the shittiest library copy for $45 #i really wish these publishers would pick 30 'rare' manga in the collecting community and reprint/republish them #i dont wish ffa was worse so ppl might not want it as bad but ugh. its good and there's not a lot of copies 😔 #someone also said shoujo isnt as considered for new editions. idk how true that is but ugh #woes of being willing to look at series that are considered old i guess #and ig it being a manga. #aaaaaaaaaaa
