Are there any dedicated manga stores where you live? Or anywhere you can get physical volumes relatively comfortably?

Yes, I know of at least one

Portsmouth UK, nothing down here. But whenever I'm up in London I stop by Forbidden Planet. I don't know if they still have 3-for-2 volume deals but I usually grab stuff on that.

There are a lot of dedicated shops in Germany. Our city has like at least 3, i think. I only buy HxH and Yotsuba anyway, so its not like i go there often.

Some US cities have kinokuniya

I go to a comic shop that has a good amount of manga but it seems like people have been buying all the out of print volumes for scalping, kind of ruins the enjoyment of finding old series there

The Barnes and Noble close to my house has Pun Pun. I don't know what else to ask for.

Kinokuniya is the store I was talking about that's kind of close to me. But it isn't a specifically manga store even though it does have a lot of manga.

Same in my city. Unless we are in the same one. But it's quite common everywhere I think I even saw them in smaller cities.

Barnes and Nobel and the newbury comics near me are all I need for manga. The local shop is starting to get a small collection of manga but the owner is a bit of a “purest” when it comes to comics and only seems to get American books, but I gave him two long boxes filled with shounen jumps and he’s coming around to the money making opportunity. When one piece 94 drops I’m going to ask him to get it so I can start buying them as they come out

Mitsua is an Japanese market near chicago. Picked up the first volume of Don't bully me Nagatoro there. They have manga in translated and not.

Yatta in Poland. Apart from manga they also sell stuff like figurines or Pockys.

Yes I have two within walking distance. They have a huge selection, I'm thinking of picking up New Game this weekend because one of them has all the volumes. I live in a major city btw

I'll add that I got a collector's edition of CCS the other day

In the big Asian part of town here we have a few comic stores with manga, a mitsuwa too and even a book off. Bought a couple of manga and blu rays from there. Every time I go I also see I think this chino figure for $20 but I'm too autistic to actually buy it

Taiwan says au contraire

I think if you live in SEA. There are some in Thailand, but less than it use to be. I've seen some in Indonesia and there are some in the Philippines according to my colleague.

I work in SF and theres a Kinokuniya in Japantown.

thanks, didn't know (actually didn't look) there were shops in Chi-town for manga

Is that in Southern California?

None.
I'm a streetshitter.

There's a bunch of these stores in my city, and they're functionally identical to Book Off in Japan. I only buy untranslated manga these days so I can learn moonrunes. So it was a pleasant surprise to find an original first volume of City Hunter and a different series with absolutely no English info on it while shopping at one of them.

Manga shops? No, but I live in socal so there's Mitsuwa, Kinokuniya, Book Off, even some Marukai grocery store had them way back.

There's like ten of them in the US, and none of them close to me (DC fag). Most bookstores where I live like Barnes and Noble or Books a Million sell manga, as well as comic book shops and used book stores. It's very "in" for brick-and-mortar stores to sell anime/manga stuff, just like how it's "in" for them to sell kpop stuff.

Just a kinokuniya about 20 minutes away. I'm sure there are some weeaboo stores somewhere around here, but I've never been and never desire to go.

>socal

yep, there's a dedicated store 10 minutes walk from where i live, but you could find the most mainstream series like Naruto o Bleach even at the newsstand

Is being a weeb considered Halal? If not that might be a problem.

yes, one of major publisher of my country is in my hometown and i get tons of them

No, I don't live in SJW-ville. If you openly enjoy nip stuff you get laughed at, you might even lose your job and be called a pedo.

Mitsuwa in the Chicagoland area has a Kinokunya. There is alot of manga, but it doesn't compare to the Kinokunya in Japantown SF, that bitch got two floors.

I only go to Mitsuwa for Sutadonya, and weeaboo canned coffee like Boss and Pokka coffee.

Attached: 1564833458175.png (722x927, 468K)

those stores are made for children, not you

I keep accidentally adding things from Mitsuwa to my "plan to visit" list. Not having a car is painful. In an alternate universe, all this would be located a few blocks west of Chinatown, deleting Pilson.

I live in rural Wisconsin, I haven't seen even a bookstore let alone a manga store

bruh have you seen the list of hentai seized from bin Laden's compound dunecoons fucking love anime titties

I'm still sad the one Book-Off in my city closed down. I suppose the rent for the location (downtown core) must have been way too expensive to maintain for a niche shop

What?

Like a lot of anons here, there's a Kinokuniya relatively close by at Sydney Town Hall. I've only bought a couple of artbooks from there though; I usually just forward stuff from Japan. It's nice to browse around though.

Sometimes Waterstones or forbidden planet has some stuff but it's usually only very popular titles.
I buy everything online now anyway.

Unfortunately not. Living in britain fucking sucks.

Milwaukee here, there's Lost World of Wonders which has a decent collection of manga for sale, as well as gunpla and other stuff. There used to be a store called Anime FanZone in South Milwaukee and it was fucking amazing, but it closed. Come to Anime Milwaukee, I've been going since 2011 and it's pretty fun.

Yes, and everytime I walk into it its like I've stepped into a time machine to 2003.
They've still got an entire wall shelf dedicated to VHS tapes.

>They've still got an entire wall shelf dedicated to VHS tapes.

that's some powerful web 1.0, I love it. Tell them to update their apache server.

Don't think there are any in Melbourne. We have hundreds of chink "massage parlours" though.

The kinokuniya in Sydney is pretty great. It also stocks untranslated manga and light novels.

There's a King's comics that has a sizable manga collection. Also Critical Hit on Little Collins St.

I used to live there, you can definitely find manga in some book stores. I think in Melbourne Square there's a place, and in Chinatown too.
Yeah these ones

Not in the based eastern block. If you look at asian cartoons you're a loser.

There's one that has a small cellar set aside for manga. It's a bit more expensive than buying online, but every eighth volume is free so it almost balances out.

Amazon has mostly everything you need.
Just learn to read Japanese.
Shipping may be pricey but DHL is FAST.

lel can't argue with that pavel. I guess anything that isn't vodka and squatting in -20 degree weather is considered pansy.

My local comic shop has a whole floor dedicated to manga. I've been meaning to pick up the Nausicaa boxset forever.

Yes, and I don't buy any.

I'm never buying manga released in my country. Their translations are way worse than commie (local jokes, local celebrities, complete culture washout and other dumb localization changes). And being worse than commie shouldn't be even possible so imagine it.
And they are redrawing all sound effects so this thing alone is making their shit completely butchered.

If I'm buying translated manga (it's rare nowaydys for me), I'm using bookdepository and only buying series releases by Yen Press, Seven Seas or Kodansha.

There's a comicbook/manga store where I live. It's pretty small but also cozy; the owner has a loyal enough clientele to keep it afloat and he's always willing to strike up conversation with his customers. It sells both capeshit, European comics and lots, lots of manga. There are also books and figurines (even that Funko crap). I like how he has a 90s TV set always playing something either from a movie or some anime. Anyway, my city isn't specially big, so having such a dedicated store is pretty cool; I make sure to support business and have bought pretty much all manga I own there.

You're buying Polish translated manga? Are you reterded?

That's awesome having an option to buy original manga without paying horrendous shipping costs.

Forgot to mention, I'm from Spain.

My town has a local manga shop but they also carry some western comics.

Albacete?

Fucking nailed it. I'm impressed.

Not even that far east, just a bit east of the iron curtain. Same thing, you won't see anyone talking about chink comics in public.

Filipino here. Bookstores sometimes have a lineup of manga. The older the manga, the cheaper they are.

Not gonna happen. Every dude I've seen walk into that store wasn't specially handsome. Although some of the girls were pretty cute; I'd be in for that.

is there a hentai of just two ugly male otaku/weebs just going at it?

I don't know, but it's likely. And if it isn't there, you can make it a reality yourself.

i'd rather use Cdjapan, thanks

Closest thing in my town is a certain chain shop, they have hobby stuff such as card games and sell their stuff online too. They sell English manga releases (at least?)
Localized manga is sold at about any common stores that have a magazine stand, and previous volumes that are still in print are available online from publisher's own shop. Whitch makes me salty, as they now want the same price as in stores, when they previously sold through third party online book store at a lower cost.

>Do dedicated manga stores even exist outside of Japan?
yes

Not in my town, there's a shopping mall that has some manga but it's mostly really popular stuff like Naruto or One Piece. The only manga store I know is a 1 hour drive away so I buy manga from Amazon most of the time.

>we're all little girls
did you just assume our gender?

Don't want to start a stupid "who is the biggest weeb" war but France is actually the biggest importer of japanese media in the world and it has a history since the 80s when we were importing anime before anyone else and then exported it to other european countries which is the reason why sometimes, especially in italy, you just had your dubbed version of our retarded dub translations.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Dorothée for those who can into baguette

Forbidden Planet has some stuff but yeah you have to buy online if you want anything.
I tend to use amazon.jp though they won't send some stuff like light novels, sometimes.
Its worth checking out cdjapan and 1999.
they do have anime expo in london and other places. though honestly most of it is tat

What is that can/basket thingy at the door, with something like cloth on it?

Yes, there is a dedicated comic shop near me which sells both western and Japanese comics. I have an account there and they keep track of my running series so whenever a new volume comes out they order it for me. It's maximum comfyness.
Here in my country (Italy) we also frequently hold events and fairs dedicated to manga and comics, it's pretty fun to go once or twice a year, you can find decent deals. Last time I picked up Asano's CTRL+T artbook for half the price. The place was full of BnHA cosplayers though.

agreed France is huge, then Brasil
Poland?

Yes, but only translated stuff and their quality are shit, though cheap so I cannot complain.
How much are the price for manga in your country?

italy?

Umbrella stand?

For both countries, it started in the mid-70s with Barbapapa. Well, if we want to be autistic, Hakujaden was screened at the Venice Film Festival in 1959, and aired on italian TV just one time in 1970.

>then exported it to other european countries which is the reason why sometimes, especially in italy, you just had your dubbed version of our retarded dub translations.
the opposite happened later on, when italy's mediaset created la cinq in france and telecinco in spain.

How is it called? Here in Barcelona there's tons, and there's even some streets that conform what they call "the freak triangle" because so many shops are accumulated there.
But still there's little point to go there since they sell bootlegs or prices are to high, and after all you only need one shop to buy manga in spanish.

Not really. They also sell anything Star Comics licenses including Valiant Comics superheroes and original bande dessinée stuff so it's not manga-only -even if I give you that 95% of their income comes from manga

My main reason to read manga in Spanish is because I like to hold the tome in my hands; that's pretty much why. If I can understand it I don't usually mind the language much. Anyway, the store's name is "Makimono".

Not dedicated manga stores, but there are plenty where pretty much 90% of their income definitely comes from manga

I live in a city in Mexico where there's a few stores where I can get English and Spanish-translated manga, but I don't see the point in buying them since I already know how to read Japanese.

San diego has a bookoff

If you call that “dedicated”

only place good enough for untranslated manga

Do they at least catch the real ones too?

There's a street like that in Alicante really close to the train station. Every time I visit I drop by to get some volumes I don't have since there are a load of comic shops all in the same place.

I remember going to a nice shop in Alicante like 16 years ago, it must have been the oldest in the city since it was the first 00's, can't remember the name but I remember they had stuff like cheap old manga in english.

They do and it's extremely brutal. The pedo ends up requesting to be put in jail to escape the fear of getting his neck slashed open in his sleep. Then gets killed in jail.

I live in LA so I frequent Little Tokyo quite often. There's a Kinokuniya with plenty of manga along with Entertainment Hobby Shop Jungle, a fucking awesome shop with anime, manga, figures, plastic model kits and weebshit galore.

Little Tokyo is one of those few comfy pockets left in LA proper, mostly because you can actually walk between places.

I'm on the East Coast. West Coast just seems so obnoxious. And for the record, there are some stores like 2nd and Charles that sell untranslated manga, albeit old used copies.

found some shops dedicated to manga and anime figures in paris and vienna. where i live there are some bookstores and comic book stores that sell manga too.

Not to mention the Japanese community is still alive and active there and are very friendly.

Question for frenchfags in this thread.
Are there any stores that sell manga in Japanese and ship to the rest of Europe?
Importing them from Japan basically doubles the price in shipping costs, maybe I can get it a little cheaper if it comes from France.

There's also a breddy good Forbidden Planet in Southampton if you can be bothered to make the trip.

My university (GMU) doesn't have greek life; only sadness and foreigners.

I found out my old high school library now has manga

no, my high school has usual shit and a copy of mein kampf that seniors cum inside of upon graduation.

>Is that a normal thing nowadays?
not really, libraries take any donations , especially from weebs who have grown out of anime/manga

It's pretty common. I know my school libraries had manga (not the best selection, but whatever) and there are many ex-library mangas for sale on Ebay.

I was pretty shocked at how huge london's forbidden planet is since the one in my city barely has enough room to move London's has two huge floors

Libraries accept Children’s picture books all the time

No, some arcade places have anime toy and plush prizes that's about it.

My secondary school had manga but that's only because I was a library assistant and had a decent input into what books the school bought.

No manga shops but there's a figure shop that's mostly dedicated to comic book figures (although it does carry some sailor moon figures) but for some reason they sell old new type issues.

I buy online cause it's way cheaper.

There actually is a place we usually stop by when going to the cinema or something and the people working there more or less follow whats new and push new stuff on top of whatever is popular.

I guess general comics shops?

Well there is a pretty large presence of foreign students (mostly from China and the middle east) that live on campus. Also I'm in my last year of undergraduate.

My middle school and the two high schools I went had mangas in their library.
They all had edgy manga like Doubt, Assassination Classroom... but other things like Monster, Fruits Basket, Pluto and others things that I don't remember the names with neither english or french scans in the net.

where are you from? if your not far just travel to Paris

My school (primary school) had a few Naruto tomes. Nothing of the sort in High School and Middle School, though.

Nice; well done, user.

There's kinokuniya but the price is jacked to shit due to taxes compared to the original japanese price sticker which is still there on the book for some reason, and there's local bookstores usually have a manga section but manga reads like ass in my native language, so I usually just buy stuff from kindle.

On another note I fucking hate it when they slap their price stickers on the book themselves. Stick it on the plastic cover, goddamnit.

I wish.

so you buy french and italian manga?

but its cool to discover manga that never get translated on the net

the Japanese ones have like isolated cubicles/rooms so if I wanted to go to one id go there.

Yeah, I usually pick the version I prefer.

Italian editors like JPop have extremely good quality volumes (super white and glossy paper, thick color pages, sturdy binding, "lucid"(?) dust jacket, good translations, no redrawn FX) but have a limited catalog, bigger ones like PlanetManga and StarComics often have disgusting quality all around especially for more popular stuff.

French editions usually have an overrall better quality throughout and shit out tons of new stuff including newer titles with only 2-3 volumes out, though very few titles stand out when it comes to quality (Witch Hat Atelier for example is fucking amazing and 3/4 volumes had limited editions with mini artbook, pastels etc)

Having a choice is nice to be honest, I can even go for English versions just in case - I did it for Berserk.

There are few actual Japanese left in Little Tokyo. You'd need to go to Torrance/Gardena to find some real ones, and a lot more non-tourist-oriented Japanese-owned businesses. Unfortunately most of the Japanese bookstores that used to be in the LA area have shut down other than the Book-Offs and that Kinokuniya. I used to visit other used Japanese bookstores/manga shops in the 90s-00s but they are no more since their clientele died, assimilated, or moved to Texas with the car companies.

It's a bit depressing to witness but the market changes and you have to adapt to it. Those store owners are letting their love for their hobbies blind them, rendering them still stuck in the past with old business models that just don't work anymore.

On a similar note, there's a mall near me and we get at least one retro game store/anime goods/card shop that opens and promptly closes each month; they just aren't sustainable unless you have mega funding or a very refined niche/location. I'm surprised Barnes & Noble is still in business.

Knowing the shit taste and ultimate retardness of Polish fandom, I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

>you can buy them in convention

>Paying to shop for markup prices

thats worse

Sawtelle is nice, though there's not much there for young people.

Not true.
If you're good at business, that is.
The biggest one in my city has been around for 15-20 years now, and they actually expanded a couple of years ago.
If you're friendly with the clients, and don't just limit yourself to manga but also have different kind of import merch, weeb nip meme food and so forth it's a good way to stay on top of the market.

Lucca Comics & Games

Where does the pope shit anyway?

>NoVA
Yeah, that's actually where I live; I just used DC to refer to the metro area. The parts that I live around have insanely high concentrations of Asians because of government and IT jobs, but it's every flavor except nips. There's probably twenty Indian restaurants, "international" groceries, or kpoop stores within a half hour of me, but no exclusive manga or figure stores. Though a lot of the used book or video game stores have pretty good selections, places like eStarland, McKay's, or 2nd and Charles.

Really?

Are mangos sold in newsstands in your country?

public libraries have a very decent collection of manga from my experience, in my state you can even put holds on up to 5 books from other libraries and they will ship them to your library for pickup. I'm heading there today after work to start reading The Ancient Magus Bride, Ayako, and an Evangelion art book. They even have an interlibrary loan system so you can request titles from other states, that's how I got ahold of the first couple Gunsmith Cats omnibuses.

>The used copy of Kuma Miko I just bought came from a library

Libraries are weird places

it's the biggest by a healthy margin, but unlike comiket isn't limited to anime and manga. as the name implies, it also includes western comics, video/board games, netflix shows...

what cosplay is the one on bottom left in red and black?

There are a few manga stores in my shithole that sells them but its just a cover because they sell pirated manga

Why tho. It's cheaper than english relases, the phisical quality is better. You can hate the translation and the bad selection, but i don't see where the hate is coming from.

this year there'll be Araki as a guest

>this year there'll be Araki as a guest
isnt his first time visiting a con outside Japan?

yes, at least as an official guest.

There is one shitty one 30 km away from where I live.

There is also a book off near rue st Anne that has manga in japanese.

forgot to mention that I've requested lots of manga through my library. That's how I started reading City by Keichii Arawi

...oh

No, but there's a used book store near my house with a giant manga section, more than half of which came from the collection of some fujoshit who probably transitioned into being a koreaboo.

I remember getting manga at the Borders bookstore from the early 2000s up to around the mid 2000s.

I sometimes wish I didn't blow that money on manga.

Bought manga from B&N back in the day, I remember it being ridiculously expensive.

I live in japan

in Tokyo?

I'm a third worlder so there's barely any comic shops. Not that it matters anyways since I don't buy physical copies and even if I did a lot of services offer free shipping.

Like?

Services that offer free shipping? Bookdepository, for one. I don't know how their prices compare to buying them stores though.

I live 10 minutes away from a second hand store which is half Japanese music and untranslated manga, despite being in California.

>All that Tokyo Pop
I’m glad they’re not relevant anymore

It’s cheaper off of Amazon and used book stores. I got all of Bride’s Story from Goodwill for like 40 bucks

The translation, editing and redrawing is so retarded that it's better to just read the English scans than this crap. And I'm saying it as a collector. Really. Reading the manga in completely butchered form like this is absolutely pointless.

Why, I wonder.

This doesn't look any worse than your average Viz release in the US. I'm not even sure what you're saying is wrong here. The redrawn sfx? I hate that too but it's even been infesting scanlations recently.

Fucking why.

Viz is a trash too, but even Viz isn't redrawing SFX anymore as far as I know. But Viz and Vertical aren't the only publishers in the US. In fact, they are normalfag publishers that are releasing shounen shit mostly. Seven Seas, Kodansha, Yen Press and even Dark Horse are doing decent work and they are universes better than any Polish release ever.
And it's not only about SFX (but this thing is completely turning me off). Their TLs are just as bad as everything else. Look, there's something awfully wrong with your TL when you put Polish celebrities, shitty local memes and full culturalization in there. It's fucking disgusting.

San Diego/Tijuana bro here. Just bought some manga at book off. Good times.

Pity they stopped carrying Japanese games.

I stop by there every other week, mainly hunting in the literature sections. I've bought a few volumes of raw manga there but it's a bitch to find anything because titles are organized by magazine and the rolling boxes beneath shelves are stacked three volumes deep.

What? I could have sworn I saw some the other day. Kinda related but they had a raw volume of Dorohedoro there. I should have picked it up

there is a retro videogames shop here that has a decent amount of manga and import merch. Also Forbidden Planet, and most book shops have the big shonen series. And Loveless for whatever reason.

They often are missing popular manga and don't restock for a while.

They have a few japanese n64 and things but before they used to have a whole aisle of japanese ps3 games and such, which was great in helping me play all those obscure japan only weeb games.

my wife chino

No. I don't know if there is even a single manga store in my country.

>They often are missing popular manga and don't restock for a while.
I swear I bet most of there manga stock if from people reselling shit to them

I remember mine having a single volume of Negima

Not in my school library when I was there but even normalfags are getting into annie-may and mango now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I remember hiding my shame and watching my cartoons in the dark and it was a secret, now you can just go to the library and get tentacle porn, what a world we live in now.

I like their mascot.

My local public library has the dolljoint dorks with the full lewd covers. Thankfully they also have self serve checkout desks now, so I don't need to look a librarian in the eye while they put the books through.

Dude, reading Polish translated manga feels like watching anime dubbed. Sometimes 4kids dubbed.

They are often selling manga below the cover price. I don't know how it's even possible with free shipping, but whatever. I'm glad that I can buy some decent American releases and I don't need to buy heavily localized and often censored releases in my country.

im in salt lake and all we have are barnes and nobles, the local comic shops usually just carry western shit, it sucks. ive been to L.A. and the manga/anime stores are amazing because we dont have anything remotely close to that in mormon land

We have minotaur in australia which has a decent selection but the prices are kinda shit so I just order off amazon.

never understood why the american manga cost 2 to 3 times more than the japanese or european and with less quality and no dust jacket

Post your manga collections

Weebs with money exist in almost any country

do they also sell french or italian manga?
