I have the whole series in Korean 😀

I tried reading it in English, but I prefer in Korean better. Much better translation from Japanese.

OK, so you've read them. Big deal. I mean, I'm happy for you and all....but that is the same thing as me saying:

OMG!!! Today, I SAW A PORSCHE!! It was stopped at a red light in the other lane, going the other way...but I saw it. It was red!!!

Not quite the same thing as actually OWNING it, no?

Actually, it's more like:
OMG!! Today, I SAW A PORSCHE! It was stopped at the red light, so I opened the door, pulled the driver out, and took it for a spin! But I gave it back afterwards...
 
I actually had a friend in Singapore that bought the whole set. He scanned the whole book and FTP to me two years ago. It is one of the very best must-read comic of my childhood.
 
Barnes & Noble loves it when you do this, because their statistics show that the more people read in the store, the more books they end up buying.

Borders isn't quite so upfront about it, but they're cool too. Most comfy chairs are near the kid's department, but you have to deal with bratty kids.

I do a lot of reviews & research and I spend a lot of time in both stores, generally in the cafe with a small coffee, reading stuff. Both stores are very nice.

P.S. My son, a fellow anime/DBZ lover, has been doing the same thing, only he's sitting on the floor in front of that section, so he can just reach up and grab them. Lazy teenager. If you visit our local Borders and see a kid doing that, say hi.
 
I dont see why they would put chairs there if they didnt want people to sit there. I think its designed for people to preview stuff they might get or check out magazines? REALLY cheap readers just use a freakin library! If someone has 4 hours a day to go somewhere and read, more power to em!
 
I used to love DBZ. I hardly watch it anymore--they show DBGT on Toonami, but I only watched maybe a few episodes. The series just doesn't thrill me anymore, but I used to absolutely love it and would watch it every day.

I'm still a huge fan of Anime. Gundam Wing, Yu Yu Hakusho, and I the movies Princess Mononoke, Tank Police, Akira.

I'd say the TV show is better than the comics though 🙂 I have a lot of the comics though (got them when I went to Japan many summers ago).

So...

per the original topic, your childhood dream was to read these? Not to own them and have them for ever and to read at a moments notice?

Seems to me your childhood dream did NOT really come true now did it?
 
This is what I hate about mega bookstores with sofa and the Starbucks in the corner. I'm looking for books, I want new book. The prices are for new books, but I get a book that has obviously been read by someone. I asked the manager for a new book, but they say what they have outside is what they got (usually, or they are just lazy). This is why I order from amazon. I guess the library has gone old, no Starbucks, nice sofas, and new books.
