    Like let's say you wanted to collect Vagabond up to Volume 27, right before the Farming Arc... Would you do it?

    Yeah I find it a waste of time if I'm only buying certain volumes. I either support it to the fullest or not.

    Buying part of something is so autistic I can't comprehend it. My figurative autism would be triggered if I were to buy specifically, for example, volume 1, 4 and 9 of a manga. Like, what even is the point of that? TRIGGERED. That said, feel free to go buy what you want lol.

    Well thinking on it sometimes if im browsing either online or instore and i find something interesting i might buy the first few volumes then just leave it so i dont know if that counts

    Although like i said the first time i often like collecting all of it just so it's a complete set

    It could be that certain volumes and arcs are trash and not worth collecting. On the flip side some arcs could be so good that it would be worth doing anything to collect them.

    Money is also a factor, most people wouldn't be willing to spend money to collect them all. They will only go for the best of the best.

    Of course, but what's the point if you only have 3 volumes out of 15, or so? Would bug the shit outta me to have random volumes of something.

    Yeah, although it's like, 15 bucks and under for a volume of manga, depending on length, etc.

    I think it's because they like the epic fight scenes or the character interactions. When those drop in the next volume they don't think it's worth buying.

    Then there is lack of money and availability. 15 Bucks/Dollars = 966 Rupees. There is no way I would spend so much on one volume. If I did I would only buy the best volumes, I won't buy all of them. The lack of availability is also a problem so people will be forced to order them and there are shipping charges which increase cost of the volume.

    I don't think there been gaps is a problem either as the volumes which a person lacks, he can easily find the manga chapters of those volumes online and read them.

    Of course these are all assumptions, don't take my words as facts. :angel

    At that point isn't it like, why bother buying any at all? Idk, ofc maybe the novelty of a physical copy for those favourite parts is enough.
    I guess being a wage cuck has its advantages. But you're not wrong if you don't wanna spend up to hundred(s) on nippon comics just for the fact you view it as a waste. Yeah, true, shipping is worse than hitler.
    That's the largest part that's off-putting. It would be so inconsistent then too in regards to translation, quality, etc.

    Ofc, and mine is just an opinion.

    But then it still looks incomplete =.=
    I agree but 15 × whatever could add up for low income people

    Yeah, but then with how it was originally released, it was 1 volume every several months. So, it seems like a sorta negligible expense, but luxuries like this are never a necessity so it makes sense it's not worth it for a lot of people and because of the fact of what it specifically is.

    Idk, if I am buying a series, I tend to buy the entire thing, I just don't like incomplete shit. Personal preference.

    Yeah, they can range from like 6 bucks to upwards and over 15.
