Things You'll Need:
- Credit card (may be needed)
-
Step 1
Familiarize yourself with the serialization of InuYasha manga. Each volume contains approximately 8 to 10 chapters or about 180 pages of the story. The InuYasha manga series released its 50th volume in Japan in 2007.
-
Step 2
Learn the differences between the Japanese and American printed versions of the InuYasha series as presented in manga. One key difference is that the orientation of the artwork is reversed in the American form to flow from left to right. This is just one of the many details you'll need to learn if you're interested in not only reading, but also collecting InuYasha manga.
-
Step 3
Check at your local hobby or anime store to see what InuYasha manga issues are in stock or available via special order. While some larger bookstores may have a limited selection of manga, which may include InuYasha based on its relatively widespread popularity, your best bet is to deal with specialty retailers.
-
Step 4
Visit major book retailers online, as well as specialty purveyors of Japanese anime and manga. Larger booksellers are fine if you're just looking for reprinted versions of series issues, but you'll have much better luck with smaller, specialty retailers if you're looking to get something rare or specific. Use your credit card to order any volumes you want to read.
-
Step 5
Hunt down early, rare or valuable issues of InuYasha manga using online-auction sites, such as eBay. The market for InuYasha manga as a collector's item will only continue to get larger as the series becomes better established worldwide.
-
Step 6
Get InuYasha manga to continue to follow the storyline after the conclusion of the anime series. The InuYasha anime ceased to be produced around volume 36 of the manga narrative, but the manga has continued to grow.
-
Step 7
