For my favorite series, I have the licensed version, the scanlations, and the Japanese version... hehe, it gets really bad if the Japanese version has a reissue with new covers, or if the English version has been put out in multiple editions from different companies, because then I have to have all that too. I figure that offsets the things that I read in scanlations but would never buy, like most yaoi or the past few volumes of Bleach. *laugh*

Over a year for them to announce the license... several months before they release anything... *depressed* I'm so impatient~
