#JJB YYH and OP are all much older than the others obvs sjdasj but still I !! MAN. I feel my age today lads!!! and i'm not even That Old yet#I have old dragon ball and dragon ball z comics in like Comic Book form not even graphic novel form like Newsprint Comic Books#My baby cousin mistook one for a coloring book when we were kids and colored in Vegeta's ape transformation with crayola scribbles 😭#which would be a really cute memory if I liked that cousin aklsjask her shitty dad didn't even offer to replace it or even apologize???#anyway it was probably That#the first Manga Book I ever bought in the format they come in now was Naruto Vol 2 in 2004#the first actual manga I ever had were the two DB/DBZ comics in like...1998 lol#god I miss the drop swaps in high school man we'd each buy our own favorite series and just trade volumes with each other during breaks#literally The Only Thing I miss about high school lol#I'm pretty sure dude STILL has my Naruto dvds he swore he couldn't find. They were so cool it was pre-dub imported dvd sets that folded out#with the somewhat mistranslated english subtitles that would occasionally just display a whole line in cantonese you know the ones#that good good early 2000s 'anime as a niche interest you have to go to a hole-in-the-wall specialty shop to buy' shit#times have changed and I am so glad but there was something magical about that era of dragging a parent into a hovel to buy nerd shit#they think you're buying weed but no you're just a little weirdo and they don't know if they're glad or disappointed
