Original Japanese Tankoubons

[azulmagia]

One topic I don't think has been raised in this forum is Original Japanese Tankoubons. As in, who here actually owns any?

I do. I have (among others) several of Sakura Tsuushin; several GTO; vol 4 of Negima; a couple of Kare Kano; a couple of Hana Yori Dango; vol 1 of Vampire Master Dark Crimson; vol 1 of Shoujo Kakumei Utena; vol 1 of Video Girl Ai.

I also have vol 6 of Video Girl Ai as well a one of Clamp's X in French. The French editions are printed on the same type of paper as the Japanese originals, so they "feel" just a Tankoubon.

I'm lucky enough to live close to a Kinokuniya Books and have been buying tankobon since I was a kid, mainly for the pictures. My favorite tankobon is my first print of the last volume of Ranma1/2. I remember grabbing it from the box, before it even hit the shelf. I don't buy as much as I used to, and I currently just collect MIX and One Punch Man in tankobon form.
