I can't decide! I want to finish the story, I don't own any and would restart if I bought them all. Hmmm, I feel this is a good deal but at the same time of all the things I could spend $200 on, Naruto may not be what would be best. Idk, I have an extra $1000/month after all my expenses I usually just save.

This going from a student with low income to a resident income thing is hard to adjust to. I still feel bad spending money, even if I have it. I also want a PS4, but can't decide on a slim or a Pro. Probs a pro and a 4k TV eventually. Maybe black friday they'll be cheap?

Get a gaming PC and an OLED HDR TV. Shadow detail matters more than peak glare.

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this who will count the votes, and how.

At $2.78 per volume, that is a good price considering the average volume print is about $9-10. Do you have to purchase all 72 at once?

Barring whether or not Naruto is a quality manga, that is a killer deal. You could even sell it for a profit later on.

Went to Barnes and Noble to decide and read a random volume from chunin exams. Decided to get the whole series, not from Barnes and Noble.

tbh, I have the shadow box with the first 27 volumes (I think I paid $40 or $50, including shipping) which I never bothered opening and have been used as a stand for over a decade now. >_> As such, I'd probably just say skip.

I did start rewatching the anime (after watching parts of Shippuden recently and rewatching some of the show's earlier fights) and the beginning of the series was far, far worse than I had remembered.

If you mean Shippuden, it's better than the first series.

That sounds like a good deal per volume, although I couldn't imagine actually paying that much for Naruto.

If you have $1k left at the end of each month, do it. You won't miss $200. Anyone who voted "no" must have not read that.

That doesn't really matter. Being able to afford it isn't by itself a good reason to buy anything.

Yeah, I have a lot of struggle with this now that I have a job. Its hard for me to spend money because nothing is super worth it.

Ebay, years ago. And I mostly bought it because it seemed a really good deal. Honestly, a depressing number of things I've bought over the years may have been purchased because they seemed like a great deal at the time.

Then don't spend it. Either save it or toss more into investments. Even if you're making good money now, who knows what might happen in the future.

No, but if he really wants it, one purchase is hardly going nuts.

You are going to regret this so much once you hit the end.

That's a pretty good price imo. I'd personally just read it online but if you're a fan of the series then why not? I'd probably buy dragon ball if the opportunity were to arise

I tried at 11-12 but they didn't capture my attention. I found manga in my 20's after seeing dragonball z on tv.
