The Liberation of Manga [A Long Story]

EDIT:


My school has a large collection of manga. Large. 27 volumes of Bleach, 35 or so volumes of Naruto, all 28 volumes of Rurouni Kenshin.... that's just scratching the surface.

Due to a certain ailment, 3 months ago I was confined to my school library, where I read manga all day, every day. Of course, this was wonderful for me. Until I noticed how the manga was being treated....

Students come into the library daily to read manga- but, they have no respect for it. I've seen these idiots taking terrible care of the books, allowing pages to be ripped, and food and drink to be spilled on them. The librarians were no better, one of them accidentally left all 13 volumes of Death Note out in the rain. With no cover. The way the manga was being treated was disgusting.
Something had to be done.

There was no way the manga would survive in a habitat like this, so I began taking liberating the manga. It was simple at first. I started small. G-Gundam, volumes 1 thru 3. Simple. I got off without a hitch. Nobody noticed. A basic linear system to liberate the manga was used. And, it was fun. Soon after, it was Cowboy Bebop 1-3, and Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days 1-6.

I was sure I could accomplish anything, so I went bigger. I took Chibi Vampire, 1-14 all at once. I couldn't believe I pulled off such a hiest. It was too easy, I was even beginning to wish it was more challanging. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I got.
A little fucking rat by the name of Jack B**** noticed the missing manga, and alerted the librarians. They upped their security- putting security devices in the books (so they would beep if being taken out of the front entrance). It was still too easy. I snagged Psychic Academy, 1-9 and simply went out the back exit. Too easy.

They must have found that out, because there was a lookout in the back exit checking people bags. Fuck. I needed to enlist some help. I got my friend Nathan too, quite simply, distract the fucker while I snuck out with 1-9 of Dragonball Z... Still, much too easy.

It wasn't really fun anymore, but the fact that I was saving the manga from destruction was enough of a motivation.

It was about a week before I liberated I was going to liberate Bleach 1-27- I was sitting in the library, when Mr. R****, a librarian, anexxed my bag to search it- he found nothing, it wasn't one of my hiest days. I knew he suspected me. I was a prime candidate after all. I needed to throw him off my trail.

Nathan found me a patsy- Willem H*****. He wanted to help, but little did he know, he was the sacrafice.
The plan was as follows- I will distract Mr. R**** while Willem sneaks out the back with Bleach 1-10. (smaller load for better efficiancy) Little did Willem know, I was really telling Mr. R**** that Willem was stealing the manga. Too easy. Willem was framed successfully. They didn't believe anything he told them. They were going to search his house. They no longer suspected me. Security was alleved, and Bleach 1-27 was liberated 3 days later.

They make it was too easy.
They will notice soon and be completely dumbfounded, and likely question Willem to see if he had an accomplice. He couldn't blame me, because I began working with a small task force to find out who's been stealing the manga, and I have a perfect alliby.

Unfortunately, this year is over, and the remaining manga will have to wait next year.... it's been really fun.... and it will be even tougher next year.

Thought I'd share that with you while I'm waiting for my MegaVideo to reset.
I feel like Light Yagami from Death Note.... I've even assembled a team to help with the liberation.

It's good what I'm doing for the manga, I'm saving it from a terrible death at the hands of the students and ignorant staff.

I am justice, for the defenseless manga.

Why go through all this trouble, you ask?

....well....because something needed to be done.

.........and.....I was bored.

Then my parents found out and my mom got scared, she said "your movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

[size=10]Inb4 tl;dr[/h] Various rep recieved so far = +9, -8

Not bad man +rep for you.

Where's the manga now?

from a former thief to another
Bravo man TT_TT Bravo

My parents never have, and never will enter my room- when I'm at school I keep my room locked up tight- I take no chances. Since the only ones in there are me and my fellow liberators, I have it displayed proudly on a bookshelf. Even if my parents see it, I have a great excuse, I've thought it all through.
If necessary, I can bury the manga in a box in my yard.

Oh yeah, by the way:
Next years targets:

Rurouni Kenshin 1-28
Rave Master 1-32
Fullmetal Alchemist 1-15
Naruto 1-35
And soon everything else.

go for Rave Master first
thats a rare manga can't find it in store now where I live
Then kenshin
Naruto will be your last target
being a popular manga it will be missed the most
so be careful when it gets too easy shit will hit the fan my friend
make sure you covered every detail
wish I could help you in your cause but even if I could
I turned in my thief knife for a sword
well any way good luck!!! you'll need it

Thanks. I just pray nothing happens to the manga during the Summer..... and if they install security cameras, that will just make it more fun.

Hardcore. I wish you the best of luck. I'm in a very similar situation at my school.....

I'm conflicted, I'm glad that you liberated the manga from such bad treatment, but at the same time it's no longer there for the people who like manga and actually treat them properly to injoy.

Wow, way to take away tons of resources from your peers.
What you're doing isn't salvation, it's stealing.

Even if they're not taking care of it, that's not your problem: it's the librarians' and staff's. Tell them that such atrocities are being committed or you're just as bad as the fucks who ruined the books in the first place.

A necessary sacrafice.... in my opinion, anyway.

I think your morals are a little flawed, buddy.

I salute my fellow comrade, brothers in arms. A revolution is at hand.

I don't believe this is true, but if it is, I'll be laughing when you eventually get caught.

Here here.

Like gizgal said, you're little more than a cocky thief.

Manga displayed on a public place isn't your manga, but everyone's manga. So it's bound to be treated harshly, considering how low quality some papers are. If you want the mangas, go buy them. It's as simple as that.

But stealing dozens of volumes from a public library just because you feel they aren't treated right? That is just selfish and wrong.

Believe me, so will I- so will I. I will be laughing, until the very end.

Savage- but you know, that's how Light from Death Note went out- and you said you feel like Light.
Freeeeaky duuuude.....

Post some pics for proof.
