Recently I've started to collect manga. I have twenty-four volumes now. I keep
them in an open bookshelf facing a window along with some other books which
unfortunately I don't have any place for where it isn't facing the window, so
I can't really keep them out of the sunlight. My fear of my books yellowing
has been growing especially since the manga pages are so thin. I don't really
like the idea of having to put each volume in one of those plastic comic book
covers, so I was thinking of maybe putting a strip of white sheet behind them
to minimize the impact the light has on them? I also have other books on the
shelf that wouldn't necessarily fit comic bags. Is that a good idea, or would
it just absorb more heat and further damage the books? Also, if anyone has any
other methods, please share them. I’m open to buying stuff if I need to. I
only have 20 volumes so it doesn’t need to be something huge (for now :D)
Otherwise, the dimensions I need to cover are roughly 1.5 by 7 feet. Thanks in
advance.

Edit: Addressing the suggested answers to the duplicate question suggestion
and why I think it should be reopened, that question was answered with the
comic protector sleeve option which I stated I did not want to do. I was
asking specifically about other methods and if the method of hanging a portion
of a cut white sheet behind the shelf would work. I would also be open to
putting something else behind the shelf. Hopefully this is able to be reopened
now, I think its probably different enough from the duplicate now but I can
edit it further if need be.

What is a good way to protect manga from yellowing in an open bookself besides book covers/comic book bags?
