Manga Price

[D1am0nd_Lucas]

Say... how much does a manga tankoubon costs in your region?

 

[FullMetal]

$9.99. A bit much if you ask me.

Usually $10, but they can range from $8 to $13 depending on the company. Pricey, but I don't buy them unless I have a good coupon. I usually pay around $7.50. It's not much savings but it adds up considering how much I buy.

M-My country sells manga around... $1.65(It used to be around $0.50 let's say 2 decades ago). Oh dang, I shouldn't have asked huh?

 

[Reyairia]

$9-$11
If you buy directly from VIZ though, you can get it at $7

 

[Rellik]

Back when I was still buying manga, I remember the prices were about $7.99 for anything under the Shonen Jump label, $9.99 for anything TokyoPop and stuff by VIZ that wasn't under their SJ label, and $10.99 for the random publishing house here or there.

 

[Sapphire Cherry]

For Pokémon type of manga about $8

A volume of lucky star was about $11

 

[F-22]

$10-14 depending on what the series is.

$9.99. A bit much if you ask me.

Oh, shut up. Do you know how expensive a new issue of any major DC or Marvel comics franchise is? About $3-4 for 10 (sometimes less) pages of color and tons of ads every other page unrelated to the product. And don't get me started on the book collections. Manga fans have it easy and it's a great value comparatively.

Thanks for telling everyone. I think I learned a lesson from this thread.

Sounds like you've been fulfilled, so I'm gonna close this, but don't hesitate to ask me to open it back up for you.
