I only own 2 manga books, and I didn't even buy them. xD; I'd rather read them online, in a library, or borrow from a friend.

i buy manga anytime i have money, which is usually always my b-day + christmas. in the end i spend all my money, but i get good deals. i find deals such as $2 off the original price of the book, i love bargains! ^-^ i have probably over $1000 worth of manga on my bookshelves. XD

I usually only get anime as gifts.

I used to buy manga like once every month, but now I just read them online. I've always watched anime online as well.

Koneko2428 09-01-2009 12:25 AM

Well i used to buy manga like every Sunday about 5 or so books :3

But now a days it's really only been a couple a month :c

I do watch Anime online though. And I always read and then watch. Except Bleach never will I ever again watch it online ._. it sucks and is so different it really truely bugs the hell out of me.

I enjoy buying and having the books for myself to keep, but sometimes I read/watch ahead online cause I can't wait. I still end up buying to complete my collection down the line though cause I'm a nerd like that owO

I buy anime/manga about once a month. :3 Netflicks is good for long series though...

Yumiko_Ootori 09-04-2009 10:14 PM

I buy at least 3 to 4 books a week, but as of now I no longer have any room on my shelf so I stopped buying until I get a new book-shelf. Lol

Well, if I get manga ever time I went to the mall it would be every two or three months, but since I don't buy manga while I shop with my friends anymore, I would have to say around four (and a half) months. At a time I get at least two to four books at once. I only get four/ five when they have sales, but they have sales a lot at the Borders were I go to. As for anime I go years without buying a single anime DVD, though I do buy a lot of DVDs. :ninja:

Saiyana2 09-16-2009 04:11 AM

Well I don't buy them that often but when I do I usually buy 3 or more at a time.And that would be one or two a week average.

RisikaFox 09-20-2009 01:03 AM

I used to buy manga/anime all the time, but now that I've got a new car, my bills are too high to allow that sort of spending. :sweat: So I allow myself to splurge twice a year, once when I get Christmas money, and again around my birthday in July. That's usually when Rightstuf has their BIG sales anyways, so it's cool. Besides, I already have so much anime that I'm not sure I'll have time to watch it all. xD

Tawni Black 09-26-2009 09:34 PM

I used to be devoted to the world of Anime/Manga, buying either a DVD or Manga each week or so.... then I went into the real world and learned that I couldn't afford the extra expenditure, so now I don't get to buy ANY... luckily my roommate still buys the DVDs from time to time :O

Chachi-chama 09-26-2009 10:59 PM

Well, I usually get a new one each month...most of the time they come from half-price books stores, especially clearance. As for anime, usually I get a few only during the summer. =w=

Hollyshort 09-27-2009 01:19 PM

I don't really buy anime, I just rather get the manga.

And I only buy manga one book every month or so.

Erailea 09-28-2009 01:40 AM

I stopped buying manga a few years ago. I don't read much of it any more either. If I do I read it online. As much as I'm all for supporting the artists, $10+ for a book that keeps me entertained for an hour is crazy. I'd rather buy an actual book because it'll keep be busy for way longer.

That and I looked at my bookshelf and realized I had spent over $400 on manga and it made me balk. There are so many thing I could do with $400!!! It's crazy >__<

Heana 10-03-2009 05:55 AM

it depends. i usally buy one manga, every two weeks on payday after i get my cheak. anime about once a month.

if im saving to go to a con. i dont buy anithing and wait intill the con to buy stuff, i can ussaly get some good deals.

Nikolas 10-06-2009 01:16 AM

Hardly any. I mostly get all my manga through the library and if i really like the manga very well, I write down the manga to get at the bookstore. I own at least 2 manga series.

nette 10-21-2009 10:52 PM

I buy it at a chain boostore mostly because it's easier and I can buy one vl at a time that way. When I order copies I feel like I have to order alot to get my monies worth on the shipping cost.

Crazykits 10-22-2009 01:40 AM

I buy most of mine at Conventions, amazon or at Barnes and nobles if Im really desperate. I buy at least one every month or two.

Rose Wind and Rain 10-22-2009 01:46 AM

I try not to buy anything unless there is a full set. I'll pick up a new manga once a new volume comes out...but every time I do that, the manga ends or the store does not carry it anymore. Makes me mad! Though with anime, I'll buy it when I have the money, else I leave it on the shelf or buy it used for a decent price. I am a cheap person lol.

Majel 10-22-2009 02:52 AM

It varies how much because I always have to wait for sales or coupons. It's become a bad habit of mine to buy lots on ebay and sell the excess. I usually don't make any money from it and now I don't have enough room for everything.

InevitableDisaster 10-22-2009 02:57 PM

I buy anime and manga when I have extra money, which doesn't happen very often.
Especially since Christmas is coming up.
I haven't bought any anime or manga in about... I'll say two months.
I did buy a Lavi key chain though, but it was $2, so I don't think that counts.

Jin-Ya 10-26-2009 12:41 AM

I'd like to say that it is infrequent... well, I'm sure it is to some to most of you. I buy a few mangas a month, and as for anime... not many, cause I can view them online, but the ones I love I buy, I haven't bought any for a few months though.

Kilene 10-27-2009 04:09 AM

Well, I haven't bought any mangas. The farthest thing I've bought as a manga is the Shonen Jump magazine. And I usually buy that every month.

The animes...it just depends on what comes out and what I've seen. Like sometime in November I'll be buying the 1st Naruto Shippuden movie. And I was going to buy the anime Heroic Age after I watched it on a dub site but it was $52 for it...even Aquarion was about $54. I'll have to wait to get some money to buy them.

Poppy Yukia 10-27-2009 08:36 AM

I only get to buy a couple of manga a year because they are alot of money. Like on average 8 dollars. I can read them in less than 30 mins so it seems like a waste of money. I only buy the ones that i really like and want to support the Aurthur. other then that i read my manga online or get it from the library. Money is too tight to buy alot of manga right now.
