This is just my guess but i bet a lot of you Read them Online or Downloaded, have you ever touched or read the Real Thing ? in all it's Paper glory and Jag-free images ? i'm just asking , after all people can't always seem to satisfy their curiosity.
If I buy them it really depends on what I find at cons, I'll really only splurge on a few artists since most of my budget at cons goes towards figurines and visual novels.
I bought a Yamatogawa and Gunma Tankoubon just for the sake of having them since I really like these two artists. Fap-wise, better stick to your pc since it's more convenient.
1. Impossible to Find in real life.
2. I don't need the real thing to "satisfy" myself. Like reading book, I don't actually need to feel a real book to read one.
Unless you traveled/Lived to/in Jpn it's not that impossible irl.
specifically most of them can be found on Stores in Narrow streets on large cities,and rarely even on Minimarts :\
I never would buy anything dirty because I don't want people to think I'm some sick bastard (Eveb though I am one.) and they are expensive to buy online and have them shipped. Definitely having something physical to hold and be able to collect is something special that can't be taken from an online scan but not really anything I would like to be part of.
