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,
Anime deprived,
Sheherazade

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.

I obtain my manga from the following sources:
Barnes & Noble
Walden Books
Local Comic Store
I never buy any manga online. Do check out our manga forum to see other ppl's reviews on various manga titles. ^^

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.

I have bought manga from Amazon, but the last time I bought, it was from Walmart online, cuz I got a discount...>.> hehe

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!

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...
