ok so what i do is i list my manga in different sections.
Manga that have finished and manga that is on going.
Then i write down the name of the manga (Examle) Vampire Knight and then i list down the volumes the have
Vampire Knight 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I take my book with me everytime i go to the shop so once i buy it i just pull out my book and scratch it out with a PENCIL (I write it in pen).
It may take some time with the bigger collections like naruto, one piece, and blaech . But its worth it since you dont end up crying over having to same copies of a manga.

I arrived a bit late …

Sorry to double your purchase and especially the lady behind the counter forgot your ticket.

My tip is a list I created in word, I will update it to each of my purchases. If I do not then I leave then bought the book “not belong” and I will not forget to include it then …

I buy almost all my manga on Amazon and it has a little note that says “you bought this item on such and such a date” on the listing page. I also have an excel sheet of all my manga, back before I could buy manga online I reduced the size of that sheet and carried it around in my wallet. I’m pretty anal about keeping my manga organized. I’ve recently had to start packing up my manga for a move and the excel sheet is very handy for keeping track of which manga is in which boxes.

I am like you, I forgot whether I bought the manga.. And well I don’t read my manga immediately after buying.. So it took me months later to notice that I had a spare copy. And I didn’t have the receipt to go swoop another volume >_>

I’ve yet to buy a double of a manga, though my collection is small. I do have to stop and think for a minute because I usually never plan to go to the bookstore to get a manga, it just happens because I’m in the area and then I have to ponder what volume I’m up to.

Buying a figure twice would be absolutely horrible!
It easier to sell them off though
Im happy i can remember all my figures so far ^^

You bought twice a manga, it’s not like if you bought twice a figure

Looooll Indeed, it happens frequently. I believe that the greatest number of duplicate volumes are in my collection of manga Angel Heart Tsukasa Hojo ^ ^ 10 euros each, it hurts ! you can always sell your double or offer to someone. It is Christmas after all
