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
Yup, which is why I don't really do it anymore.
i read in the bookstore, usually barnes&nobel cause they have a slightly lager manga section than the borders were i'm at...

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 the Walden's in the mall where i live has the largest manga section i've seen, over half a wall from the floor to the ceiling, i was in awe when i saw it. to bad they dont allow you to read there 🙁

Check your local second hand bookstores, sometimes they'll have used manga. You can also sometimes find used manga on eBay for a decent price (watch out for shipping charges, though).

I can't really be one to judge, being someone who illegally downloads manga for free, but I tell you, nothing pisses me off quite like those little punks grazing in the aisles, breaking the spines, and getting their grubby little Cheeto fingerprints all over a product that I would have paid for. I fantasize about getting a job at my local B&N so I can throw those kids out.

Problem is, my bookstore's seats and the spaces between the shelves are usually crowded with people reading manga so I never find anyplace to sit. Except when I go on weekday when HS is still going, then all of the kids aren't there...

I buy.
If I try and read it at Chapters, people keep on checking out what i'm reading and why I just don't buy the damn book.
And my manga collection could devour the manga 'section' at any library.
Except a manga library. xD

Usually I just head to Borders and check out if there's anything there and read it there. Unless it's something really good I'll pick it up and if I so happen to have money.

I usually go to the bookstore and buy the manga. I tend to prefer reading on paper but if I can't find at the bookstore then I download it from the internet. Although sometimes my local library has manga but it's usually random volumes of series and I do agree that it gets annoying when their are kids sitting all over the place reading manga in the manga section. No place to even walk without stepping on someone's hand or foot. It also does get annoying that when you go to the bookstore and you find that the volume you want isn't even their. Very irriating >:-(

Manga is not popular here, so I don't have that problem. It's always two people at most, and the books always look very new no matter how many people have handled them. Though I do wish that the library had a better selection.

None of my friends watch or read anime and manga, and that's why they suck. >:-( I've been trying to get them to read manga,but their such idiots. Any way, I usually read manga online, and if I really like it I'll buy it at a bookstore. But there is so much manga out there that's so good that I have to buy, I lose all my money. 😀

I go to either Dongdaemun station or Kyobo books. Manga/manhwa is about 3.5$ per volume, but when discounted, about 3$ per volume.
I rent once in awhile.

Either on my computer or buy 'em.. though.. I'm trying not to buy anymore until I get rid of some.. cause I have way too many at the moment.
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
