Go, Look: Completed Manga Series List



Looking at this rough list of completed manga series made me think of a television show: Slings and Arrows, the Canadian series about stage actors and the push and pull of their institutional support system I'm currently watching on DVD. I think I read manga like I watch TV now: in a way that favors completed series and delayed viewing and odd entry points way more than it does riding a wave of material as it comes out. Even the new manga series I follow I'm usually a volume or two behind on. This isn't new to comics, but I think this might become interesting in that I'm not certain comic shops or big-box bookstores are equipped to carry a lot of completed series over the long term. This makes me wonder if we're going to see a lot of stuff republished if there's any excuse to do so, and perhaps the development of a market for older manga that is more reminiscent of used bookstores than a collectible store.
