Manga =O

Sometimes I have this fear that I’ve just bought a volume I already own =x  I think it hasn’t happened yet, but with something like 300 volumes and 15+ series (I lost track a while ago), it’s kinda hard to keep track of what I’ve bought already.  What makes it even harder is that I have most of it in my room at my parents’ house (some in boxes, some in shelves), and about 50 or so volumes at my apartment here (they’re all over the place x_x).  Some series I’m struggling to keep straight are – fma, ouran host club, skip beat, beauty pop, vampire knight, bleach, d.gray-man, death note… I think I’m up to the latest volume on all of those after my last shopping spree; the question is, if I bought duplicates x_x;;  

I still read scanlations despite buying lots of manga.  Anyway, I don’t think reading scanlations deter people from buying.  I probably would buy a lot less (if any) if I wasn’t exposed to all those series via scanlations.
