Yeahhh, since coming to college my buying has come to a near complete halt (actually almost ALL anime/manga has with work and studies

). But yeah, back in middle/highschool I was the manga guy for sure

, anime was great and I certainly watched a fair share of it, but manga was like my thing...
I'll try to post some pics but right now most of it is boxed along one of my walls (I keep only 1 series on my bookshelf in my apt living room at a time). I have a catalog saved on one of my externals, and even though I haven't updated it in the last few years, I had upwards of 800-1,000 volumes I think (drugs would have been so much cheaper -,-). Pictures though... need pictures =\
But yeah... GO MANGA

!
EDIT:
OK! So I took some pics of a couple boxes I have up here at my place (still have a few more boxes back in a storage unit back home (no space so the japanese ones got left behind

)). But to give you an idea of the madness that once was:
Wall of Manga (yes ONLY manga) boxes. Most are still sealed up with tape for easy moving since I move a lot.

Example Box (normally they'd be like the bottom, double stacked up and packed perfectly).

My current "library" for school (assorted cookbooks, some reference books, and 1 series (Iron Wok Jan in this case

))

These photos were on my phone from back in '08/ '09 when I was cataloging/ getting ready for college... seems so long ago =\. Please note, these shelves have double layers of books (see top right to get an idea).

One of these day's I'll get around to building a library for these books (and purchase all the new manga I've missed out on o.O).
