It's the last one I need and I'd like to not pay an insane amount, but understand it is rare. Would love to talk it out with someone.
This is my first thread here, but you may recognize me from r/mangacollectors
With the release of Lunatic Lover's by Bubbles Zine, I decided to finally take the plunge and get Ultra-Gash Inferno. Despite some of the stories already being out in other books I have, it's been on my wishlist awhile. I also noticed that the price of it has dropped significantly from a year ago.
So now I have all of Ultra-Gash Inferno, Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show, Comics Underground Japan, The Strange Tale of Panorama Island (both hardcover and softcover), Beautiful Monster, Lunatic Lover's, and the three Maruograph Art Books (DXI, II, and III). I'm a happy happy boy(ish) right now

I haven't read the whole thing yet but compared to Beautiful Monster, I am way more interested in the actual content of this one, and like the presentation of the book better, too. I didn't include my three Maruograph art books in the picture, and I still don't have Ultra Gash Inferno, but I'm happy with what I've got (for now).
I ordered Lunatic Lover's direct from Bubbles Zine, and I highly recommend the other few manga they carry.
Edit: Lol I forgot to include The Strange Tale of Panorama Island -- I have both the hardcover and softcover for that one.
Figuisch got here today, and I couldn't be happier. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to get around to reading it. This time, I ordered from Atomic Books and it was packed very well. I had an issue with Mansion Press directly that was never resolved so I had to search for a third party, because I didn't want to miss out on this.
Overall, Light of the Moon is maybe a more impressive book but content-wise I think I'm more interested in what's in Figuisch.
In recently grabbing and enjoying the Witch Hat Atelier Grimoire Edition, I found out the mangaka had this series and it sounded cool (and was quite cheap). But I really have no idea how to pronounce either name, and a Google search seems to imply I'm the only idiot who can't figure it out
eh-nee-ah-lay and deh-wai/wee-luh is what my brain defaulted to, for the record
... with a JDS Labs OL DAC USB from back in the day -- very old but working fine still, and my Hifiman HE-400s, which have been sitting dormant for awhile. I have a Magni 2 or 3 but I haven't had a headphone setup in awhile. I used to have a Little Dot MKIII Tube Amp but had to sell it long ago because of money issues.
Now I have some inlaws offering to buy me something expensive and I'm thinking of the Valhalla 3. It's been at least a decade since I had a tube amp and well over a year since I regularly had my headphones hooked up.
Any thoughts on how the Valhalla will do with the original JDS Labs OL DAC USB and the Hifiman HE-400s? I'm not really looking to upgrade my headphones and I'm hoping that DAC will still be good.
Edit: And to be clear, I cannot afford the Lyr 5, or more accurately, I will not allow someone to spend that much on me lol
Need Volume 7 and Volume 22 and then I'll have all of this. It hasn't been easy or cheap, but I will likely have to wait a long time to get the rest as I sure as heck am not paying $100 plus for these two. Still, I love everything I've read from this so far. Such great art, very funny, etc. I'm happy, for now.
Sure as heck not paying the prices people want for this. Hopefully I find it out in the wild some day! That said, I now have all of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and all of Spirit Circle except 4. Really wish Tokyopop didn't just license the first part of Sengoku Youko, as I haven't bothered grabbing those because they're incomplete.
