It feels good...

I do love manga, but I don't have an obsession...just like video games, I collect it.

Current Manga:
117

Series:
48
Most of them I only have one volume though...
I have volume 5 of some manga called Kamui. xD I don't know what I was thinking.

The only series's I've actually completed are Deathnote, FLCL (two volumes. Woo.), and Chobits.

Just about everything else is still in the works.

Discuss:
Your manga obsession/collection/completed series.

...to know your mine.

I love Fruits Basket (though Im using the internet to get ahead of the american realses), DN Angel & Ragnarok. I'm really mad that the Ragnarok manga died. They cut it off at a big cliff-hanger. >_< I hate them sooooo. I also like WISH, and Love Hina. (LH is uber perverted sure but man it's funny)

Personally I prefer the anime FLCL to the manga.

Lol, I am totally obsessed with manga, Well, more for reading and learning. Seriously, I have learned so much about the Japanese culture because of it. My mother argues that I only learn about the entertainment culture. While that's true, I've learned a lot of basic stuff I wouldn't have learned if I hadn't gotten into anime. Like honorifics, basic etiquette and habits, stuff like that.
I admit that I'm obsessed because while I don't actually buy so much Manga or the merchandise, I do anything anime. Library or bookstore, straight to the anime section for me, Japanese soundtracks, Japanese terms, spellings, things that I would want to correct in the English dubbing (even though I know it's a hard language to translate).
Basically, I am definitely, undeniably an Otaku, and I'm proud of it!
Just to see the crowd I have in here, can anyone tell me what an Otaku is?

I love manga and anime. But I'm not that obsessed with it...... in fact I only own one manga! I just read all my cousin's manga she has like a ton.

I'll admit that I am obsessed with manga. I actually prefer it to anime. I used to keep my collection in my room, but after it started to expand and overflow onto my floor, I had to move it into my basement. My current collection stands at --

Series :: 85
Individuals :: 647
Shoujo Beat :: 26
Shonen Jump :: 17 (not collecting these anymore)

And still collecting like mad! xd

I don't collect manga (or books in general) as much as I used to, although I do get around to reading some of it from time to time.

A stand-alone book I would strongly encourage you looking for is Para Para by Andy Seto. I am also closely following Marc of the Succubus which is drawn by my friend Irene Flores.

I'm not obsessed with manga, but I do kinda buy it on a regular basis. I mostly read Deathnote, Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Yotsubato. I used to read Naruto but by the 6th volume I realized it was the same thing over and over.

I'm pretty much obsessed. I have 6 volumes of D. Gray-Man, all 7 volumes of Kamichama Karin, 3 volumes of Bizenghast, 1 volume of Yugi-Oh (the only one that's good, in my opinion), 4 volumes of Tsubasa and 1 volume of Kon Kon Kokon. 22 mangas and counting! whee

That's not counting my 5 (and counting) volumes of Shonen Jump... blaugh

But I definitely learned the most from anime. Especially Cardcaptor Sakura. I wouldn't have learned most of that stuff anywhere else! (Tsubasa definitely helped with honorifics, and Shonen Jump helped with kanji and word origins, but not as much.)

I’m in love with Kamichama Kairn, Bleach, Naruto, and The Ouran high School Host Club! I wish they would hurry up and release Kamichama Karin Chu in the U.S. I’m sick of waiting.

I like manga, but I'm not overly obsessed with it.

Total Manga: 130+

Total Series: 33

The series I'm really liking now is Boy Princess.

Otaku means to be obsessed with something, usually associated with manga/anime or video games. 3nodding

Ack! *jumps up and down* another Otaku! Yay!

I learned honorifics all over the place, and I love using them, even in real life, they're so fun. But I have learned a lot from the anime too. Funny, I can tell you and I both love it all... but I don't see anything in your list similar with mine. Shame isn't it?

Here I fall short again, I have no complete series, and only four total. Three of them are Kingdom Hearts, and I've read each near five times. *yawn* The last one my mom got me (no clue why)..all in pink and I haven't read it yet, but I can tell it is surrounding a marriage or something close to it.

My feeble list:

Kingdom Hearts 2-4
Heart On Fire (I honestly have no clue what this one is)
