A manga collector, boasting a colossal collection of over 6,000 volumes, recently undertook the monumental task of moving house, leaving netizens absolutely floored by the sheer scale of the operation. TikTok user @hinatako_manga, the dedicated manga enthusiast, shared his moving saga, which many described as an "unimaginable sight."
The moving process proved to be an incredibly daunting mission for HinataKo. Unable to transport his bookshelves, he meticulously packed each and every manga volume into boxes. The video features a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound effect as the packing progresses, which sounds almost catchy – but anyone imagining the actual back-breaking labor involved would likely feel exhausted just thinking about it.
As time wore on, the once-spacious room gradually filled with cardboard boxes. HinataKo managed to pack 26 boxes, but the work didn't stop there. He ultimately filled a staggering 40 boxes with just his manga collection, not even counting furniture or clothes! The sheer magnitude of the move is truly mind-boggling.
Despite the immense effort required for such a move, HinataKo remains a staunch advocate for "physical manga." In his video, he declared his unwavering commitment to continue buying print editions rather than switching to digital. This sentiment clearly resonated with countless manga fans, who flooded the comments with messages of understanding and applause for his dedication.
The moving video quickly went viral, grabbing the attention of a massive online audience. Many expressed admiration for his ability to document such a tedious process, with some jokingly commenting, "If that were me, I'd probably get lazy and just start reading manga!" Others were curious about the unpacking process, noting, "Unpacking must be just as tough!"
