| I personally use Rightstuf.com for my shopping. The prices for DvDs / Manga seem to be good, and everything is legitimate there. It is the website that FUNimation uses to sell there stuff on, and they also has part in the making of some anime ( http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?p=217 ) I bought the Negima! volumes 1-28 for like $6.80 USD per (sale + discount), which for me is a lot better than going to Chapters and getting them for like $13 -14 per volume. As for fakes, I presume there are fakes out there (like fan translated stuff being sold) but I'm not sure about this, it's not something I'm too familiar with, just a presumption since there are a lot of bootleg DvDs. For Rightstuf, shipping price will apply for worldwide, and there is also the price for going through customs (NOT included in shipping price), so it may or may not be a spectacular deal, but for me personally it was a good deal. (Just got to weigh the factors) |

PandaCubCup said: I bought a few from "thebookdepository". They got a pretty big collection. Should i keep buying from them, or do you have another good websites to reccomand me? I need a world wide shipping also. One more question, there is a lot of bootlegs when it comes to anime dvd's is this the same with manga? I mean, can stores sell fake manga or something like that? Just want to know if fakes exists in the manga world also. Thank you. That's the best one I've found, around £4-5 a volume which is pretty good compared to the £8 I've found other places. Waterstones has £8 but 2 for 3, it doesn't work out as good as £4 per volume though. If anyone knows any UK stores that gives good deals I'd be happy to hear any too. |
| I only buy manga from Amazon. I buy all my anime/maga items from Amazon, can't go wrong with it. But if I'm dying to buy a volume, I'll very rarely go buy from my local Barnes & Noble. |

| You can find a lot of bootlegs on Ebay, and there are quite a few websites that sell bootlegs. All the sites that have already been listed are legit, so no problems there. Just be careful and ask around when you find a new site to buy anime from. |
 |
| I'd say most of the time I buy from Amazon or Right Stuf. I also go to anime cons and get look for the best deals (it's best to keep a list and maybe buy stuff out of order to get the best prices). I also check out my local comic book store, a lot of time they will have a sales or maybe a $5 dollar bin. |
| Barnes and Noble. Sometimes Amazon.com. |

| Mostly Amazon, although on occasion I buy manga from Borders and Midtown Comics. Also, sometimes RightStuf. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Usually barnes-nobles and borders |
| Usually from The Book Depository as they're guaranteed to be cheaper than Amazon, but sometimes if I am buying other things as well as manga then I order from Amazon for convenience. It's annoying The Book Depository send everything out separately, but only once have I not received one of the books I ordered and they refunded me all of my money, so it's all good. Sometimes I also buy from my local book shop (Waterstones) if I am loaded with cash and want something there and then. I have also bought from comic shops and conventions before. |
| i've just recently started buying manga, so far i've bought from amazon, and to a local manga/comics store near me, i like buying full sets at once rather then single volumes. |
 |
| Usually Barnes & Noble, Borders, or Books-A-Million!. |

| i buy my manga from the nearest bookshop :D though it's really expensive :(( |
| Usually Barnes & Noble, amazon, or mycomicshop.com |
| Chapters/Indigo - though this may change after I get my Kindle. |
 |
| Amazon.co.uk or at London MCM Expo whenever I go to it. |
| You all just made my day ^_^ |
| Barnes and Noble, Hastings or the used bookstore(but there's not much manga that I want at the used bookstore). |
 |
| since manga is like 2 or 3 bucks more money then the USA (i live in canada) i usually wait till a anime convention comes and buy all the mangas with american pricing and usually they have sales were if u buy 5 books u get 1 free its a good deal so its good all u pay is 40 bucks to get in and enjoy ur day an get cheaper manga...if only the anime dvds were cheaper :P..but sometimes when i am impatient and there is no convention anytime soon i usually go to the coles bookstore in my mall or chapters were they sell mangas and buy them there but usually conventions is the way to go :) |

| I buy my manga at Kinokuniya and Book-off in Manhattan for Japanese manga and sometimes my local Barnes and Noble for English ones. |

| Most of the time I get manga from borders. Either that or good ol' TradeMe-NewZealand. Yey yer. |
<img src="http://www.sandata.com/includes/assets/loading.gif" border="0" /> Wait for it......waaait.... |
| Aside from what's already been mentioned, I often buy manga from justmanga.com. |
| I buy most of my manga at Barns & Noble |
 |
| I get my manga in the comicstores. |
 |
| I found a store in Manhattan, New York and they sell manga for super cheap. I managed to buy 4 books for only 20 bucks before my father chased me out of the store and two of them were in Japanese. I'm planning on flying back up there in a couple months and I'm going back and splurging. It's somewhere next to the Rockfeller Center. It's called Kinokuniya Bookstore. Here's the site I just found for eet: http://www.kinokuniya.com/ |

| I buy mine from a few different places, mainly Barnes & Nobles or Amazon though. I sometimes happen to find some at the local bookstore,but only if I'm lucky. (: |
| Chapter, if they have what I'm looking for. But since they usually don't, I just wait for the semi-annual anime festival here, which has a huge selection of manga for sale. |
| Borders. The only place that is close to where I live that actually has manga :/ |
 |
| why not try at rightstuf the website it is a american website but they send out there items everywere n they tend to have sales for manga as well |

| I find that Amazon UK has pretty decent prices for manga, if you don't mind used ones. I've picked up 10 volumes of an older manga for around £25 recently. Considering new manga retails at around £6~ per volume over here, I didn't think that was too bad. Have you tried ebay? Again, this is assuming you don't mind used stuff. You'd have to probably have to pay for shipping, but you can get stuff really cheap if you're lucky. Also! Just noticed this. Doubt hasn't actually been licensed outside Japan (to my knowledge), which is probably why you're having difficulty finding it. :3 Each of the volumes are up on HMV.co.jp for Y600 each. HMV's shipping prices aren't bad, and they offer free freight shipping if you spend more than Y2500. (: |

| I recommend the Book Depository, the prices are good and the shipping is free. |
Demon_Acker said: Seconded. Don't really buy manga anymore nowadays, but when I used to, it was all from there the moment I discovered the place.I recommend the Book Depository, the prices are good and the shipping is free. |
| I usually don't buy manga from the internet, but a friend of mine usually buys her manga from a store called Kinokuniya, and has worked very well for her. Here's the website: http://www.kinokuniya.com/ |
| I buy my manga in these shops; Shosen Bookmart, Kinokuni-ya bookshop, Book Off, Mandarake, and sometimes to manga shops in Akihabara. |
| I usually buy my manga from borders but theres a trick to this, if you sign up for a rewards card and then use the discounts you get (40%-50% percebt sometimes!) then you end up paying 4$ for manga. Also they have good bundle deals and usually a large selection. If you live in a city or near a comic shop you should check there too, for discounts. i live in the philadelphia area and found many with 2$ manga bins or bundle deals, Good luck! |
| I usually get mine from a local used book store called Chamblin Bookmine although they don't always have what I'm looking for. If I can't find it at Chamblins I'll look for it on Amazon. Very rarely I'll actually buy it new at Books-A-Million but I prefer not to because the prices to me seem just a tad rediculous (last time I was there I wound up spending $40 something on 3 books whereas last time I was at Chamblims I got 11 for $30 something books, and I didn't even have any book credit that day. |

Omnimalevolent1 said: I buy my stuff either through amazon.jp or at book-offs (in Japan). Only naive morons pay 8 bucks for a translated shounen manga (double the cost, yet not as good). English manga is such a massive rip off. If I look around well, I can easily get a manga for between 100-300円 depending on it's popularity. Since I like Seinen manga (which tends to have a higher original price tag, but it also sells less) it is easy to find most of the stuff I like in the 100 yen aisle. For those who don't know what that comes out as, it is about a buck. The obvious down sides to this is... #1, you gotta be able to read in Japanese (although I think original language of anything is better than a shitty translated copy). #2, the horrific shipping costs between the US and Japan... if you actually ship stuff you are paying another 100-200円 per book... roughly. The way I do it, is each time I travel to Japan, I stock up to an extreme, and pack my bags (international lets you 2 checked bags, and carry on) almost completely with them (using my clothes as padding)... bam, free shipping (other than the ticket obviously) for easily 400-500 manga. After you get used to doing this a few times, it is hard to ever take American prices seriously. To put it simply, my collection is pretty damn large, I don't have enough bookcase shelves, so I double stack... : And it honestly did not cost me nearly as much as you might expect. Wow, I wish I could read Japanese. |
