Is that the colored version of akira?  Mine is black and white.

It's the b/w, right to left version with the original Japanese sound effects.

I've had them all as collected hardbacks since my teens, wouldn't part with them for the world. Sandman needs to be read on paper, although I've been dipping into digital comics during the past few years as well.

Still got all my softcover Sandman TPBs, but never got the last 2 volumes, still have paper copies of Overture too. The Achilles heel of digital copies is, eventually your device goes out of date, found that out the hard way.

Yeah, that happens, paper has physical longevity, especially when treated right. I've got proper storage boxes for all my comics, graphic novels and assorted miscellania, and my wife hates them, because they take up space and they're non-negotiable (the other ones are books, records, and audio equipment).

Dude they take up SO much fucking room.

Yeah, currently I've got about 35 shelf-metres of books, 25+ shelf-metres of vinyl (that's over a metric ton/2200 lbs of atoms) etc. None of my friends have ever been to two of my moves, and with good reason.

Blue Giant is an excellent manga about music, probably the best Ive read. I think the first 4 volumes are out in english, the sequel, less so.

                                                      got one-punch man vol. 1, 3-6 & 8 but missing 2 & 7 from the public library for tomorrow

                                                                   motivation to get in shape 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups and 100 squats

                                                                                             i live on the side of a hill so i'll run up and down for a while to round it out

I completely agree with him.
