In Japan, people usually buy chapters of various manga collected together into a single phonebook-size anthology, to get their immediate fix on the plot...these books are usually disposed of and they buy the series they want to reread later, in the "tankobon" (equivalent to a TPB) format.
As comic fans fret about the prices of their individual chapters, do you think a system like this could ever work for works in the US? People I've talked to seem doubtful. You can read more about the idea (not mine-- Tim Seeley's) here. I'm curious as to what you guys, the comics fans, think!
