Bookstores are so convenient! The big ones (like Barnes and Nobles, at least here in New York) have their own cafes and reading sections to allow people to read manga (and of course, anything else). I'm awed at how much business Barnes and Nobles get considering how many people come and only read here. The B&N stores are a lot like oversized casual libraries-- and they're easy to find almost anywhere in the city. That said, you can imagine how the manga sections might be overcrowded-- sometimes there are way too many people that they become an obstruction to actual customers.

And then there's always manga available from friends at school. Yay for manga/anime/drawing clubs, I guess? Go Stuy!

I wait every year for Comic-con or any other small convention to buy over 10 volumenes for a good price, this year I saved over 45 dlls :3

I only buy XXXHolic and Shinshi Dumei Cross when the're recently released @ border's

(1) Someone who sits in manga section of big bookstores and turns new books into used ones.
(2) Someone who angers me (especially if there is collateral damage)

Lol... I make sure that I don't harm the books when I do that.

Until now i have never stumble upon a library with a series of mangas that are not random volumes...It could be because people always order it before me but i never.. as in "never" see a complete series stack in one place.

My parents read tons of mangas when they were my age by renting them like movies. sigh it's so much better with a book than on the computers. Easier on the eyes.

i used to buy or rent near my work place until i find scanlated manga ^^( i new at read scanlated manga). but now i only buy manga that i condsidered very very good or very good but not scanlated yet (like Ruler of the land or Rebirth)
and many older manga that not even exist in MU

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
- Anton Ego

I print every page off my computer so I can read it in the park.

Just kidding, I love buying it from bookstores but its so expensive here >_<, so my collection isn't very big.

well...if its not from the net i usually coughbuycough (ugh...the pain...my heart...my wallet...GAMA-CHAN!!!) manga from the book store. usually second hand since its cheaper 😀

I usually go with some friends for a few hours to book store called Borders to read. They have so much Manga! >.<

I buy Manga that I really like occasionally though

Believe in your own abilities and your efforts will surely be rewarded.

I borrow manga from from the library. They don't have much but the and most are shojo. But they do have all the current(VIZ) Ranma 1/2.

I always get my manga from the internet. Even when its not from the internet (downloads), its still from the internet (online store)...

Waaaah T_T

Don't you hate it when you go to a book store and the one volume in a series you want isn't on the shelf xD
