The answer to "why are some popular shows not getting a second season" is usually: BD sales weren't ideal, or the original work is already selling well enough that it doesn't need further advertising.
Manga maniac says: I have 800 volumes, and I've used Billy bookcases (IKEA) stacked up to the ceiling. Vertical space is key.
My first one was also DB! My mom bought it for me at the Book Fair. Ever since that day, there was no turning back.
Manga maniac says: The premise of this discussion is flawed. The power systems of different works are fundamentally incomparable.
From the perspective of a manga fanatic: The thrill of a weekly magazine is something a monthly one cannot provide. But the cost is too high.
I read every word! Especially the Narrator in HxH. Although Togashi's text volume is large, every sentence has meaning. If you skip it, you'll really miss a lot of important information.
I highly recommend Dorohedoro too! Q Hayashida's world-building is one of a kind. It's a real outlier in dark fantasy.
Physical copy all the way! The weight of holding a manga, the sound of turning pages, the smell of the paper... these are things that digital versions can never replace.
As a manga fanatic, I've noticed this problem for a long time. The translation quality from Jonesky Limited in the past was really much better.
If none of the above apply, try looking for a list of "World Masterpiece Theater" or "Sunrise robot series" to compare.
