I used to live near the most expensive library in the US...and I've never seen a manga section
My local not-so-big library has got a decent selection of manga mixed-in with the young adult and the comics sections. As I recall... all of Dragonball (not Z), old copies of Battle Angel Alita, Big O, most of Love Hina, and some random Pokemon comics. The library is a great (not fantastic) resource for manga, especially if there is an online system to send volumes across the state to you, I'm reading Trigun Maximum this way.
Yeah, I was thinking FuN! wasn't looking hard enough, or maybe most of the manga is constantly being checked-out. ;)

It's called "Borders" and you usually see cheapos (well, thats what i think) at the manga section reading all the mangas.
I HATE those people! Dam, I remember once I picked it up a manga with intent to buy it, flipped through it, and found a couple pages had been torn...
You mean like tears in the pages or like they had even ripped out the pages?

I've read library books where I think 10 pages (well it's more like 20 since the pages are double-sided) from Wish volume 3 had been ripped out. Personally, anything I read I usually handle very nicely if I read it in a store. I'd like to think that you couldn't even tell that I picked it up and read it.

But then again, I'm not so perfect with handling the book that it doesn't open more than an inch (I heard a Sailor Moon fan around 1997 kept her books open no more than that).
But if the person actually tore out pages,

I'm surprised that person didn't try ti keep that copy and 'take' it from the store. Or maybe the person would rather risk doing that than run off with a book with what security measures there are.
