I've been collecting for little over a year and I just hit a milestone of 206 volumes. All started because I couldn't wait for JJK season 3 :P

Anyone else think this was going to be a manga release? Guess I’ll collect the other Viz Horror Picture Books lol

Got some stuff autographed so wanted to redo the shelf’s

I can't wait to open it!😊

For those unfamiliar, this is an official Japanese-exclusive collectible released in 2015 by Shueisha featuring full-size reproductions of Masashi Kishimoto's original handwritten manuscript pages from Naruto's very first chapter, along with a serialized certificate of authenticity.

Naruto history. Such a cool piece. Never leaving my collection!💎

A link to an unboxing video of it in the comments below for those interested.👍

I had to put quite a lot of them to storage, i.e. my mother‘s place(divorced parents I live with my father…) since I I pick up the sense of reading shelf no longer only for manga.

Tiny KALLAX I had to double stack to make use more of the space.

Oh How I pray to find a high paying job to move out again🙌
I still have to finish that 6 month unpaid internship:/

Signed by the man himself. this is definitely one of my grails. it feels so unreal to own this. it got a film by MADHOUSE, however it doesn't do it any justice. the films pacing isn't great at all. i really recommend reading it, although the film itself is visually amazing. that being said, READ IT, BABY!

Got some book stands to showcase some of my favorite volumes.

Scheduled to release in August 2027

found aot at hpb!

Posted my collection about a year ago. Added some series that people recommended, moved and sold off some stuff as well. I thinks it’s filled out nicely.

So, I decided to sort my stuff alphabetically as much as I could and it came out great. The topmost shelves ended up being too short for books on their normal side, so for those, I decided to put books I recently bought and will read soon on them, then after I read those, they'll go on the normal shelves.

Accumulated this over the past year mostly just from thrifting and gifts.

THIS little bastard y’all…

Apparently my midlife crisis isn’t going to involve a sports car. It’s going to involve a missing manga sampler that was originally FREE.

I’ve been collecting obscure Shonen Jump promotional stuff, and somehow Sneak Peek 3 has turned into a full blown cold case.

After an embarrassing amount of digging, I’ve uncovered exactly TWO old listings. One sold on eBay for $5.99 in March 2024, and another surfaced on Mercari in 2025. That’s it. Two leads, no witnesses, and a growing suspicion that someone’s mom unknowingly destroyed the evidence during spring cleaning.

These things were literally given away. You’d think one would turn up somewhere between the burned CDs, old GameStop receipts, and whatever survived the family computer’s LimeWire phase.

Anyway, does anyone have a copy they’d consider selling or trading? Or know someone who might? I’d genuinely appreciate any leads!

I’d really like to find one before I die. Haunting the manga section of Half Price Books over an unfinished $5.99 cold case sounds like a pretty undignified eternity.

Photos aren’t mine, unfortunately. Just evidence from the last known sighting.
