| Amazon if you have Prime. They throw random 10-30% sales on some manga. It's best to keep them in the kart if you think you're going to buy them when they release. That way you keep the lowest price. They also have several sellers that will sell the manga really really cheap if you don't mind used manga. other than that, most sites have them for the usual 9-12 dollars a volume |
| Rightstuf is consistently the cheapest site to buy manga. BookDepository is also not bad. |
| There's Wordery and Book Depository. I mainly use them for pre-orders. Higher prices but FREE shipping. I also use Amazon UK since I live in eastern Europe. I got the first volume of Zaregoto from eBay. (the Del Rey release) As for any tips... The more you use a site, the more you'll notice how low book prices can go before release. |
| Mangas aren't sold in my country except for the popular ones. I've bought all the manga I currently have from CDJapan and it really was expensive. The manga turned out to be utter garbage in the end, I haven't found a new series that would get me interested to the point of buying so I haven't bought any since then. |
 |
| I sometimes buy them in stores just to support my local book store/comic store, but when I don't I buy them of bookdepository.com. They recently raised their prices by €1.50-2, but it's still cheaper than in a store. For example, I bought each of my bnha vols for a 5.50-7.50, while I would pay €9 at my book store. |
| I buy them in the manganime stores of my city. You can see my collection on my profile. |
| I buy them in Kinokuniya before I discovered Rightstuf. But I suggest you check out Rightstuf since they have discounts and promos plus free shipping if you live in US (you guys are so lucky. T_T). If not you can always check in ebay. Some of the hard to find mangas, I look for them in ebay. I hope that helps.^^ |

Amazon Japan is a tad bit cheaper if you buy at least 3 or so books...but Kinokuniya allows you to browse the vast selection and actually see the manga volumes in person. they don't seem to carry much LN in store, which i guess is understandable. Amazon Japan would actually be amazing for manga if they let people buy used ones sold in sets. I once saw the entire volume - or almost all the volumes of a few manga series for a very agreeable price. I would buy them if i could - but sadly, it's "region-locked" - meaning, you can only buy used Japanese manga from Amazon Japan if you live in Japan. |

My side of Kinokuniya doesn't have a vast collection and isn't that updated. Volume releases are either delayed by a month or two which totally sucks since you really can't get updated and well they're somehow missing a volume or two of the series they have. Oh that sucks. Why does it have to be "region-locked"? |
| For newer series like BnHA your pretty much going to be stuck paying the retail on them, since no one is really going to be buying and selling them. For older series though I sometimes find collections on ebay for really cheap (people selling off their old manga collections and stuff). I also visit local flee markets / thrift stores and go through their book collections. A lot of people just donate a lot of their books and magazines to thrift stores when they don't need them anymore, so sometimes you can get lucky and find manga there. Earlier in the year I bought like 10 volumes of bleach for about $20. It was missing some volumes in between (went like vol 1-6 then 10-13 or something, someones probably went in before me and got the ones in between). So yeah used books can be really cheap and a good way to get a big collection without dishing out hundreds of dollars. Your just not going to be finding new series second hand very easily. |

| 95% of my manga comes from: https://www.rightstufanime.com/ The rest comes from Amazon (usually ebooks for my Amazon Fire tablet) I collect manga too, though not as much as my anime collection. I own: |
