Since having a stable income, I decided I would finally get back into buying manga, starting with finishing up series I already had. Admittedly these series are a good handful of years old. What I find totally odd though, is that I can find books published in 2008 but I can't find ones published in 2011. Or better yet, I can easily get my hands on books from 2005 but have to scrounge around for books from 2008. Doesn't make much sense to me.
I've nearly completed two of the three series I've been trying to finish up. In one, I only have two more books to get before it's finished. Frustratingly enough, the last two books seem impossible to find. The copies that I can find only go as low at $20 US dollars, and as high as $130 (!!!).
Even $20 is pushing my spending limit. I still begrudge $10 manga (I'm old enough to still remember when it was $5...). Do you think anyone even is willing to spend $130 on one book?
