I currently own (at least some of the volumes of): Fruits Basket, Chrono Crusade, Azumanga Daioh, Fullmetal Alchemist, Afterschool Charisma, Neon Genesis Evangelion, DN Angel...I might be forgetting some, but those are at least some of them.
Stuff I want but haven't bought yet: Yotsubato!, Pandora Hearts, Neon Genesis Evangelion Campus Apocalypse
I'm probably forgetting some stuff...and there's some series I own part of that I'm not crazy enough to really declare it shelfworthy.

Current project: Cleaning up the Chrono Crusade examples one at a time. God help me.Solanin, Haruhi Suzumiya light novels, Not Simple, Uzumaki, Zaregoto, Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, Black Jack, Bunny Drop, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
Probably a few more, but they're not coming to mind right now.
Tumblr here.I currently own most of the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei volumes to date.
I'm tempted to buy the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, but since a website has some of it scanned, I'll probably go the illegal route for now.
HodorOnes not already mentioned:
Oh, and Arakure, some Demon City Shinjuku manga, Otogi Zoshi, Episode Zero of Gundam Wing, some Naruto in French, some Godchild, and Satisfaction Guaranteed.

What do I have...
Complete (or at least current to English releases): - Full Metal Alchemist - Hellsing - Chrono Crusade - Death Note - Detroit Metal City - Chis Sweet Home
And I also have Revolutionary Girl Utena (Can't find the final volume, because it's apparently out of print), D Gray Man (decided it wasn't for me) and assorted volumes of the Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi and Code Geass manga spinoff mangas that I mostly got cheap.
I have a lot more DV Ds, actually.
The owner of this account is temporarily unavailable. Please leave your number and call again later.Mahou Sensei Negima and One Piece. Namely, whatever few manga I read, I tend to buy.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Um... Genshiken, Death Note, 8 volumes of Black Lagoon and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, 10 volumes of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, the Azumanga Daioh Omnibus...
On another shelf, I have the whole Mai-HiME manga (offered by friends because they knew I loved the anime), and hidden somewhere I have the first volume of a random Boys' Love manga (Love Mode, I think), offered by the same as a joke.
I don't have much manga, so it's all squeezed on one shelf with several other graphic novels to make a general "comics section".
I own:
Azumanga Daioh (doorstopping omnibus)
Yotsuba! (1-6)
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Bakuman
.hack//Legend of the Twilight
Higurashi
Neon Genesis Evangelion (5)
Honey and Clover
20th Century Boys (1-3)
Monster (1, 2, 8)
The only manga that really shouldn't be on there is .hack//Legend of the Twilight, which I only own because I bought it at a garage sale. I'll probably sell it at some point.
Manga/light novels I want to have:
Haruhi Suzumiya light novels
Berserk
Baccano! light novels, if they ever get officially translated
Genshiken
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.I have really limited shelf space and funds:
- Azumanga Daioh 1-4
- Yotsuba 1-4
- Full Metal Alchemist (2 random volumes I found at a used bookstore)
- Midori No Hibi 1-2 (would have more but I can't find the other volumes cheap enough)
- Negima 1-14
- Cromartie High School 1-2
- Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind (complete series)
- Yotsuba&! (volumes 1-8)
...And that's all the manga I own. I also have the first two Haruhi Suzumiya light novels, if you want to count those.
I guess it is.

Now here's an interesting manga: I Am A Hero
So far it seems to be about a paranoid NEET (loner) and his delusions,but it's oddly... hopeful. Beautifully drawn in a lifelike Kurosagi style.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.To me, the ideal is that every manga series that I enjoy is shelf worthy by default.
Unfortunately, whether I have the funds, shelf space, and suppliers to act on the ideal is another question.
Anyhow, books I got, in no particular order:
- Hellsing 1-5 (No longer expanding)
- Nightmare Inspector 1-8 (No longer expanding, for now)
- Spice And Wolf 1 (Light Novel, waiting for new releases)
- Uzumaki 1-3 (completed)
- Mushishi 1-4 (expanding)
- 20thCenturyBoys 1-3 (expanding)
- Ratman 1 (waiting for new releases)
- Hollow Fields; the complete collection (Not Japanese, still enjoyable)
- Utahime (single volume)
- Afterschool Charisma 1 (waiting for new releases)
- Oh My Goddess 1-6 (expanding)
- Portrait Of M And N 1 (expanding)
- Say Hello To Black Jack 1-4 (no longer expanding)
- {{Gimmick!}} 1-5 (no longer expanding)
- Eden; It's an endless world 1 (probably no longer expanding.)
- Kyo Kara Maoh 1 (no longer expanding)
- Majoras Mask (single volume, not interested in the other series)
- Shakugan No Shana 1 (Light Novel, possibly expanding)
- Switch 1 (no longer expanding)
- Hanako And The Terror Of Allegory 1 (no longer expanding)
- I'll Give It My All...Tomorrow (Will be expanding, if I could just stop getting depressed by it)
- Mahou Sensei Negima 1 (no longer expanding)
Wow, quite a collecting, looking at it. Still not half of what I should own considering my ideal.
