Why bag manga?
Bagging manga can help slow the speed of yellowing and protect from light damage and general wear and tear.

Acrylic Book Stands
These clear plastic book stands are perfect for displaying your favorite covers face-out on your bookshelf.
The small 5 - 9" option is the best fit for standard and medium-sized manga, from Naruto singles to Goodnight Punpun omnibus.
The large 6-12" option is the best fit for large manga and big hardbacks, such as Berserk deluxe edition. Also available in black!
Wall Mount Displays
These are actually intended for displaying vinyl records, but they're also wonderful for displaying your art books!
Pack of 3! Available in clear, black, or white. These can support up to roughly 4lbs.

BOOKENDS
Using bookends to keep your books upright and tightly packed instead of tilted or stacked will reduce damage to the spines.
PRESERVATION PRODUCTS
Bagging your manga can help slow yellowing and prevent from general wear and tear on the shelf. Make sure to read through my Guide to Bagging Manga for more information.
​
A dehumidifier will help your environment from being overly humid which causes books to warp.
For extra moisture capture, I recommend silica gel packets.

RESTORATION PRODUCTS
Goo Gone Wipes are my favorite product for removing sticker residue. You can find a 4 pack on Amazon or a single canister at other retailers or your local office supply store.
​
Fine-grit sandpaper will work for lowering the visibility of ink stamps. Just buying one at your local general or hardware store will be the cheapest option, but here's a link for reference.
​
*Note: I only recommend using these products externally - not inside the books. Make sure to read through my Restoration Guide for more information.
MOVING
FAVORITES
My favorite moving boxes are these 18" x 14" x 12" boxes. These are available in packs of 10 or 20, and can accommodate 90 volumes of standard-sized manga, or ~70 volumes of taller volumes such as VIZ Signature.
​
Duck tape is my favorite brand to use, and has been reliable in holding together a 50lb+ box of books with no issues. If you plan to wrap your series in groups, I recommend this 18" packing paper.
