Where To Buy Anime/manga

no, you got me wrong, France has Every manga on earth and then some :blink:

France is very loose on restrictions too, humpfest over there, the culture is so much kinder to comics. B)

PS. Japanese Seinen manga do so much better there, Monster just won one of its "Roman Graphique" Grand Prix or something... Cool

o_o That's so cool.

Except it's all in French. I can read it, but I prefer either English or Japanese. XD

I buy most of my mangas from bookstores :/ Waldenbooks cause my best friend works there and I make him buy most of them for me (he gets a 20% discount! Surprised

) And Barns and Noble cause I work right across the street from one :/ (got a membership there good for ten percent off). I also buy stuff at "That's entertainment" (a huge comic book store) becuase they have tons of anime figurines at pretty decent prices and are about the only store in my area that sells pocky. Occaisionally I will also occaisionally make the journey to little store in Boston called "Tokyo Kid" They import TONS of Anime artbooks, cds plushies and figurines ect. directly from Japan so they have pretty good prices. But I don't get to go there much cause it's kinda hard.

And now I'm reading your discussion about pricing and laughing XD Sure nowadays manga is onle $7.99-$9.99 on average. Does anyone else remember the days when the average price was $13-$16? XD That what they all were when I first started collecting XD I remeber when Tokyopop first started doing them for only 9.99 XD I was so happy and excited! It ment I could buy MORE.

I've spent far to much on manga in my life. Sad

They're begining to collapse my bookshelf.

This Is where I purchase most of my anime.

There are about 9 episodes on each disc, and it is $20 a disc on average.

though I suspect it might be bootleg

The Digi Charat anthologies were like, $14 each. They made me cry, but I bought them anyway.

Hehehe.... Tokyo Kid.... I went there and bought a CD and then realized it was a Taiwanese bootleg and was scarred for life. I go there to wander around, but I hardly ever buy stuff from there. I'm more interested in manga than merchandising.

EDIT: 9 eps on a $20 disc? Sounds like bootleg to me. o_o
