I was looking at my shelves the other day and noticed that I had some series sorted left-to-right and others sorted right-to-left(looking again, Lucky Star, Sunshine Sketch, Yotsuba&! and Onegai Teacher alternate while sitting right next to each other) and started wondering how other users managed their multi-volume series and if they had any particular reason for doing it that way(I don't - I mostly just follow the way I started if I end up adding new volumes to a series).

I have some vertical stacks to save space and they're arranged top to bottom, but everything else is arranged left to right.

Mine are all left-to-right. The reverse looks weird to me, like the books are backward.
(I somehow managed to accidentally pick the right-to-left option. Ignore that. =_=) |

I arrange mine left to right because every collection of books that I have ever seen anywhere is organized that way. It just never occurred to me to try the reverse.
From what I have seen in manga and anime it seems to me that even the Japanese use left to right, but I really have not paid that much attention to it. Right to left seems so odd to me that I am beginning to wonder if I am misunderstanding something. |

I arrange individual volumes left to right except an occasional error.
@ Touma I once obtained a couple of volumes of Japanese language manga. The spines made a continuous picture if shelved left to right. At least with that series l to r would be the correct order. I don't know if they are consistant in that though. |

Alan - The English spines of Dragonball + Z do that as well. I would assume that's the same on the Japanese.

They're all left to right for me. But don't ask about alphabetical order, I'm not even attempting it. My shelves are all over the room, going alphabetical would be difficult, thus I go go by genre and favorites (with Fumi Yoshinaga and Osamu Tezuka having their own sections)
Actually, I lied when I said all left to right, I almost forgot that I have Phoenix and Parasyte in Rainbowbetical order. Because I think it looks cool and I can do it with so few series (though I get a feeling that Arisa will be like that some day too) |

I might try rainbowbetical order with Arisa! It might work with Bunny Drop too.

A mixture for me, with a reason. If a book is read from left to right I put it on the shelf in left to right order. If it's read from right to left I shelve it in right to left order. They are all filed alphabetically, by title, from right to left. Not sure why I do the right to left alphabet thing, for some reason it just looks better to me that way. The rest of my library is filed from left to right, by author, and my entire video library is filed left to right, by title (mostly).

Any way they can fit. I have only 1 shelf to fit them all so they go behind each other, stacked to the top, etc.
They're competing with more important stuff like my Canon manuals, wargames, & all the service manuals for my cars. Last edited by guildmaster on Mon May 06, 2013 12:13 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Normally left-or-right or top-to bottom for individual volume/ box sets in my collection. Beyond that, don't arrange my titles in any particular order as I either have them lined up on shelves or stacked up vertically for whatever I don't have shelf space for.

Left to right where I can, but shelf space is at a premium so a lot of stuff gets stacked on each other in sometimes random sequences.

Left to right, with an odd stack of new/recently read manga wherever it might take root.
Also: Eden, Inu Yasha Big Edition, the Hino Horror series, Parasyte (Del Rey), Maison Ikkoku (Editor's Choice), Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Real, With the Light, Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei and Welcome to the NHK. Now, if you want an amazing 70+ volume rainbow: the French edition of Detective Conan. It will take some organising, but it will look like one of the gigantic crayon packs when you're done. |
