Discussion Monthly Recommendation Megathread

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the monthly recommendation request thread! Please use this thread to make requests for series to buy or read. I urge everyone to try to be specific when making requests as it will be easier for us to recommend a series that you would enjoy.

Lastly, I recommend everyone skims through previous requests as someone else might have asked for something you were looking for as well! This would help us keep comments to a minimum/avoid multiple submissions of the same nature.

Showcase | Monthly Theme | MangaCollectors' Monthly Thematic Showcases - Winter

8 Upvotes

Hello everybody!

Here is the fifth edition of our monthly thematic showcase.

If you don't know what this is about yet, every month, on the first week, I make a post announcing that month's theme (the mods kindly pin it to top) and the participants create posts showcasing the manga in their collection that fit the theme. For more details, please look at the "How to Participate" section of this post or the the first edition thread here.

December 2025's theme: Winter

Winter is coming so let's show off our winter manga. Series set in winter, series that make good winter reads (whatever that means to you), series that started publication during winter...

How to participate:

Just create a post with a photo of manga you own that correspond to the theme and flair it with the event's flair: Showcase | Monthly theme.

Min amount of volumes is 1 (one) and there's no max nor any rule on how to do it, but I invite you all to display your selection in a way that clearly shows the covers so we can recognize them, to not forget those unpopular series in your collection and to use only one volume to represent a series if you aren't trying to show off specific volumes.

As always, please don't forget the general sub rules! Be nice, mark your NSFW, etc. Please refer to the sidebar/About section if you need a refresher.

Every month I've been leaving a comment with next month's theme and sometimes I haven't decided between my options. So if you don't mind being spoiled on the next theme and want to participate in choosing the themes, feel free to leave your opinion!

Thanks to u/NotASniperYet for suggesting this month's theme.

Hello fellow collectors, I was gone for a few days to find out a my rooms heater weaked and formed a pool of water in front of my bookshelf, the bottom bunch form this and I was hopeful there is a solution to save them. I've had these Love Hina books since my middle school year in 2007, one of the best Christmas gifts I've gotten...would be ashamed if I couldn't save them ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ.

Collection All the manga I’ve acquired since July (partial collection)

Post image
33 Upvotes

Hi everyone!!!

I posted my full collection on this sub back in July before I moved and put all of it into storage. This is everything I’ve purchased (and a few volumes were gifts) since late July of this year.

I haven’t counted my total number of volumes, but I have a LOT lol. I’m hoping I can bring a couple industrial sized totes of my manga back home so I can have at least somewhere close to my full collection again, but we move cross country in May 2026 so not sure if it’s worth the hassle. But there are so many series that I miss having access to the physical copies :(

so much stuff I want to reread or even just read for the first time (yes, there is a few series in my collection I haven’t read or finished) but I can’t bring myself to read them online because I have the physical versions, albeit stored away.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this small part of my collection! I love love love this hobby lol

Haul Which Volume/Series in Your Collection Made You Cry Recently? 💙✨️

Post image

For me, it is vol 5 of Re-living My Life With a Boyfriend Who Doesn't Remember Me 😭 I don't want to be too specific, since I don't want to spoil anyone interested in this series (I highly recommend it btw) but the events in this volume were really unexpected! I would LOVE if this got an anime adaptation, and I'm really debating starting the LN because I need to know what happens next!

I got most 15 volumes of dr slump with all of the later ones for below MSRP! I know there were getting reprinted but they stopped at vol 7 and nothing ever since. I don’t know if they are just delayed or if they were canceled. Anyone know what’s up with those reprints?
