So far I don't have the heart to get rid of it :(

Hmmm... for one, I feel like to get the real feeling out of the reading experience I'm better off reading the Japanese ones.
The translated ones are often much more expensive, in some rare cases might be mistranslated, but all in all better for those who don't understand the language one bit. <- and I'm telling this because as a added reason I'm confident I understand the written language enough to read certain manga series. And even if I don't, I learn more kanji in the process :P
@DLTE
I feel you :// even though I understand Japanese and everything stated above, it hurt a bit inside to go sell the proof of what was the beginning of my collection in the first place. On the other hand it was some overly long shonen series that I can't keep up with and some yaoi that I no longer read that much :P
DLTE:
Urgh, its not that Japanese books are hard to find over here. ( There are 3 kinokuniya shops in my country ) But because kino sells the Japanese AND chinese AND English versions ( If its published o/c ) and usually the chinese version is cheapest...
So it leaves me to wonder: " Hey, theres the jap version which I don't understand, oh look theres a chinese version, I can read that and afford it at the same time! "
Chinese: $6-9
English : $16-22
Japanese : $14-93 (those packed with DVD/goodies combo)
So these are my new buys for today!

So, my resolution to start building my Japanese collection died in less then 24hrs and yes. that Gyo manga's cover is holographic like a pokemon card :D

Ah, I was under the impression that you didn't understand Japanese, and went for the Japanese ones anyway.
I've only thought about doing it for manga that haven't been released in English yet. Mainly the Ginga Nagareboshi Gin franchise by Yoshihiro Takahashi. Though I still have some hope that we'll get a English or Danish publication.
