Manga question, please help

Postby Jaltus-bot » Sun Aug 01, 2004 4:09 pm

Hi everyone,

How do you get manga? I want some. I don't know where to get it.

Also, where do I find online stuff? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Sincerely,

Any large book store should have manga. I usually go to Borders Bookstore; the one near me has a whole wall full of manga! Also Barnes and Noble carry some, and you can always find it on ebay. As for the online stuff, I am not sure. Hope that helped! ^^;

Cedahlia is correct; manga can be found at any large bookstore. About the online manga: I know some sites, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post them here because it's kind of an iffy subject here. I'd be happy to tell you over email, though.

You can also buy anime and manga online at amazon.com and rightstuf.com. Right Stuf has a great selection and pretty good prices, as well.

We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Barnes and Noble definately has the best selection of manga of any bookstore I've been to. I know that when I was in Toronto they had practically no selection at the bookstores but when I asked they referred me to comic stores where they had every title I wanted so in some areas you'd be better off to look into comic stores.

I buy mine at Barnes and Nobles, Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, Amazon, and Wal-mart. I can also buy manga at my local Sam Goody. I don't know how nation wide that is though. It's getting where you can buy it more and more places, though. So, there's hope!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I usually buy at Books-A-Million or Waldenbooks but if you go amazon.com or e-bay, it's alot cheaper.

no one has mentioned suncoast yet, so i thought i'd add that. the cool thing about buying manga there is you can get points for it. anyways, have you tried e-bay? you can usually find some good deals there, but be careful, cuz not everything on e-bay is in english:)

It will usually be in the 'Graphic Novels' section of a chain bookstore like Books-a-Million or Borders or Barnes and Noble :)

a very important point. How can E-bay not be legal though?

E-Bay is a perfectly legal means of selling merchandise. EBay however, takes no responsibility for the legality of the merchandise sold. This could mean that you would get a bootleg or otherwise illegally copied or distributed piece of merchandise. This could includes movies, CD's, AND especially manga and anime.

If you'd like more info on how to tell if an anime is fake or real, there are some links I could give you. Keep in mind though, that while it is easier (though sometimes not easy) to tell if something is a bootleg if you can inspect it in real life, often times it is much harder to tell online.

Food for thought...
