I mean, about how many titles and volumes have you read? If you are to count Amerimanga (I believe some titles can be considered truly manga in terms of the manga style in terms of looking Japanese), I personally, at the time of this writing, have read 149 titles and 597 graphic novels and manga comics. However, a bit off topic, if you count all the comics of any nation I have ever read/own/owned, it's almost 1100, at least.

Enough to not even be able to count. If you put into consideration my read some and read all section, plus there's plenty of titles that I've read that aren't even in the encyclopedia, I can probably give an estimate of between 2000 and 2500. There's just so many series and volumes out these days, and they don't stop coming either.

I'm on the direct opposite of the spectrum. At the moment, I'm read about 45 titles and 200 volumes of manga. Yes, my manga collection is the highly underfunded little brother of my anime collection, but for all intents and purposes, its always been "catch as catch can." Speaking of which, I have about 15-20 titles on the backburner that I want to start, but just don't have the money in hand to read.
In terms of comics, I never did get into them for some strange reason. Oh, well. Last edited by NGE1113 on Thu Feb 01, 2007 2:12 am; edited 1 time in total |

Now you said comics AND graphic novels. When you say how many are you talking indiviual books/comics or how many series? If it's series I've read somewhwere around 100 comics and about 50 mangas. Now if you are talking how many individual comics and manga volumes......um dang. That's rather hard to figure out. I'd say bare minimum 1500-2000 total individual comics and graphic novel volumes. That's over a 16-18 year period. Started reading comics early on around age 7 or 8.

I own somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 "floppy" comic books. I've been buying comics since I was five (I'm almost 28 now). I was I used to work at a shop, and at one point the employee discount had me with over 110 titles on my pull list (not all monthly, thank god, but still). That, and I love quarter bins. Now, it's down to a much more manageable 49 titles.
I have no idea how many graphic novels i own, but I'd wager it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 or 600. |

I just hit up the quarter bins myself at my comic shop. Got 15 volumes of Shi and Spawn 75-92.My place also does a 50% manga sale and they switch the titles each month. Waiting for Beserk to be on the list.

My manga collection is tiny compared to the volume of anime I own, but I've read 42 manga series at 174 TPB volumes.
Though if you include my Marvel fangirl days, I have at least 2000 US comic books under the bed, but they haven't been touched in nearly a decade. |

I've read 31 individual titles in the 6 years I've been interested in manga. As far as my collection goes, I've got 37 volumes of 13 titles.
I don't have much money, and almost all of my library's manga collection is Naruto and Fruits Basket. |

I have 26 complete titles with a total of 160 volumes.
And then I also have 19 incomplete titles with 148 total volumes. I didn't realize that I'm reading that many different titles right now...huh...Well, several will be ending by April and that number will reduce. |
