Hi all, I want to start collecting manga. Particularly Fruit box to start with.

Just curious how everyone displays theirs.

Like many things, my Manga are packed away in boxes as we reorganise and decorate. Eventually, I will have a small room dedicated to all my interests with my Japanese prints on the wall, my figures on shelves, and my manga on a bookcase.

I sold all my physical manga a few years back.

Ironically, this week I made some in app wishlists of digital manga I plan to buy.

I'm using Google books and shonen jump apps.

I'va also sell back out many of my physical ones, to made space in my bookcase and selves ... but still reticent of digital purchases.
At least Physical ones, you can put them back in the 2nd hand market... but not with digitals.
... and what when the worst happen? and we past away? who will get access to our "Digitals accounts" everything digital will be like wasted money throughout to the garbage bin.

Well, you can just pay a small monthly fee for reading access to the whole library. With Shonen Jump at least. I still like to collect tho. I've always assumed my pixels die with me.

I still doing it with my CR premium, while they don't have the latest series, nor the most impact ones either ..., I can still getting acces to many of the chaps.
While I was triyin "Manga+" ... I din't have the time to follow all the series weekly, and end losing access to some Chaps... that's why i stope using it...
I believe if do you paid a monthly fee... you don't lose access to any chapter there isn’t right?

I have not used the app you named. I have only tried Shonen Jump free. The paid version says it gives you up to 100 chapters daily. But it's only like 2 dollars. I'm prolly gonna pay it and give it a go for a month at least.

sounds interesting, for just 2 bucks a month ...
Shonen Jump here in the UK, has barely 150 different tittles ( taking a part the many second and continuation like counting all "Jo Jo's Bizarre" a as a single, so with "Dragon Ball", etc ...)

I think "Manga+" has also some kind of subscription... but Can't find it now. :p
and they share quite a lot of titles too, like 30 or more

I just found out that there is a Viz Media app separate from the Shonen Jump app. The Viz app has all of the Viz library(including SJ). While Shonen Jump app only has the SJ library.

It's the same account/login for both apps. Same price. I have tested this.

-EDIT-

I just paid for this service and the Viz app does include the Viz library. But it seems only the SJ library is included in the service. The Viz stuff is just for preview and buying volumes.
