The video/book/video game store near us has begun to carry manga. They have a small selection, but it's still very good. And I imagine that seven dollars for a manga is a pretty good price, just from what I've seen and heard. I'll have to pick some up.

That's really the only remotely exciting thing that's going on recently. Other than GJ freezing my browser and kicking me off everytime I try and post a comment.

O__________________O Seven dollars for-- dubbed manga? Holy shit, that's really good. x_x They're normally $9.95 or more. For Japanese manga, it depends on the publisher. ^^; The cheaper manga is $6.05, better manga is around $7.85 to $8.05, and some stuff (like Saiyuki) is around $14 or $15.

Wow! Much rejoicing then. Yeah, it's 6.95 for almost all the manga that's carried. What does Fruits Basket usually go for, if you know?

Seven dollars is a good price for manga, considering most manga sells for ten and up.

*loves your icon* And yes, seven bucks for manga is very good.

Depends on whether it's an English translation or the original Japanese one. If it's English that is a *very* good price. If it's the Japanese one, it's on the slightly expensive side.

>_< But Seattle has a Kinokuniya, the biggest Japanese book chainstore in the US. And they have a HUGE Japanese manga section with a very, very good English one. Six dollars and under for most of the Japanese manga. ^_^

English translation. :-) I'd be floored if we got anything else, out here. You can't even get books in Spanish or French. :/

I'm going to have to grab a couple.
