Kapanlagi.com - Shocking news comes from the world of manga collectors. Logan Paul announced that he purchased the rare first chapter manga of ONE PIECE and DRAGON BALL for a fantastic price.

However, instead of receiving praise, this move has drawn a lot of criticism from the anime and manga community. Many fans feel that this action creates new problems in the world of collecting.

1. Buying Rare Manga at a Fantastic Price

Logan Paul revealed that he spent US$ 550,000 or the equivalent of Rp 9.4 billion to buy graded copies of the first chapter of ONE PIECE and DRAGON BALL. This amount immediately caught attention as it is one of the most expensive manga purchases.

For ONE PIECE, the copy he owns has a grade of 9.0, and there are only three copies in the world with that quality. This makes it a very rare and exclusive collection among collectors.

Meanwhile, the first chapter of DRAGON BALL that he bought even received a grade of 9.2, which is said to be the highest grade ever. This almost perfect condition makes its value even higher and more prestigious.

Logan also mentioned that this is just the beginning of his journey in the world of manga. He hinted that he will continue to add to his collection in the future.

Instead of gaining support, Logan Paul's move has actually sparked criticism from fans. Many feel that he does not truly understand the world of manga, especially ONE PIECE which has a very loyal fanbase.

Several comments suggest that Logan may have never read or watched the series. This has led many fans to view the purchase as merely a display of an expensive collection.

The reaction intensified when IShowSpeed commented. He mocked Logan by questioning his understanding of ONE PIECE.

This comment quickly went viral and reinforced the negative sentiment from the community. Many fans feel that the world of anime and manga is not just a trend that can be entered without understanding.

3. Concerns About Price Increases and Market Issues

Beyond the authenticity as fans, many are worried that Logan Paul's actions could impact the manga collection market. The presence of a big figure is seen as potentially affecting prices significantly.

Some fans argue that purchases at such high prices could trigger unreasonable price increases. This could make rare manga even harder to reach.

The issue of scalpers has also come back into focus. If this trend continues, the manga collection market could become increasingly unstable and detrimental to regular collectors.

This concern has led many fans to see this issue as more than just a controversy. It is viewed as a potential major change in the manga collection ecosystem.
