[@maeemma]

There’s actually on in LA little Tokyo near the village. The prices aren’t as cheap as in the video but there are still some pretty good things you can find there!

[@aclark903]

BOOK OFF has kinda cornered the market on 2nd hand books in Japan. Which isn’t entirely a good thing, because the mom & pop used book stores are dying out.

[@watchforever1724]

Yeah

[@CobaltCollectsManga93]

I’m so excited to go to Japan when I grow up! I love your vids sooo much! They’re so cozy! Keep up the great work 😊

[@mangatama]

Yay!! So excited for you to go too :D!! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind support >< I appreciate it so much!

As an American I’m such a huge fan of the country Japan itself, always wanted to go there. Been practicing the language too, and watched tons of anime and Japan scenes. I bet you were in heaven since it’s lovely over there!!

[@MysteriousMind91]

I just came back from Japan and was at this exact store 2 weeks ago ^^ You make me miss it even more already! Also not ashamed to say Book off and K-Books got so much of my money, and every store is a treasure trove because they have different stuff ^_^ Thanks for making this video and immediately bringing me back there in my mind

[@itsmeachea594]

Wahh i know this is 3 months old but are there any mangas in english at book off? My Dad's going to japan in 3 days so i wanted some manga for my small collection (╯▽╰ )

[@zainabbas-er9le]

[@Kurosakii_editzz]

Your content has been my happy place for two years now~. I love the cozy vibe in every video. Keep going! ^^

[@maeemma]

There’s a book off in LA! Little Tokyo near the village. The prices aren’t as cheap as in the video ,but there are still great things there and the prices are cheaper the normal for Cali!

[@mangatama]

I'm going to Japan in March and I'm definitely making a stop here! I'm so excited 😝❣️

[@rockmusicforever90]

6:15 Urusei Yatsura bought Omnibus 17 the last omnibus of the series earlier this month. Now I'm on the last ten chapters. Never thought I would finish the series. 12:51 that blue manga with the girl on the spin I'm sure is one of the most mess up manga. Midori 14:19 awww so cute

[@MangosNRawrs]

The Reasons We Fell in Love is so good! Highly recommend

[@mangatama]

I'll definitely have to check it out!! thanks so much for the rec :))

[@ArttuTheCat]

That Manga 🇯🇵 shop looks pawsome 🐾 😺👍. And once i meow on my winter vacation at the end of this year's April, i might as well meow around my home country Finland 🇫🇮 - mostly Vantaa, Helsinki and Espoo - and hope, i could find some Manga 🇯🇵 shops. Your video deserves a big drawing like 👍 from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

[@mangatama]

haha thank you so much arttu!!

[@crashharmonyroberson5076]

I definitely recommend runway de waratte! The anime is so good

[@watchforever1724]

I went to my trip in Japan and going there was definitely and interesting especially since book off

[@mangatama]

[@justanerdyhobbitgirl]

It's a good thing my husband and i will be limited by what will fit in our suitcases (and that we can't proficiently read Japanese manga) because those set bundles would be a temptation 😮

[@davidcoria9264]

Hello! I am from USA 🇺🇸…Very cool! I love to collect them. Manga books are fun to read too! ❤️🇯🇵

[@watchforever1724]

6:39 for me it isn’t mostly because of its popularity I mean we even got a film at this point I was expecting there to be a second one

[@watchforever1724]

7:27 hey I see Gintama ,love that series but sakamoto days is good for a new shonen jump

[@riixriing]

it’s japanese, and most likely, also second-hand. still great though, other countries can never.

[@aryan71651]

Can you make a video of classroom of the elite light novel.

[@lebasichannel]

[@kisei_manga]

Hello, I'm Japanese! Thank you for the wonderful video & My question is, can you read Japanese?

[@mangatama]

Hi!! Thank you so much for watching :)) Yes, I can read most Japanese! I still have a lot to learn and I'm not the greatest at speaking, but will do my best to study hard!

[@suiii8299]

Wait how long have you stayed in Japan? Feels pretty long considering the number of videos🧐 And you never heard of Ushijima-kun? It’s really good but a bit traumatizing, so be careful😅

[@Koyarri]

aww noo ):

[@mangatama]

ahh t_t but hopefully I'll be back someday!!

[@Miabaney]

Do they carry English volumes there I will be going to Tokyo soon so I was wanting to know lol😅

[@mangatama]

Oh wow! Thank you so much and sorry you had to go through the trouble to do that for me. Ty❤@@mangatama

[@Sanjay-dk4fo]

A big question to everyone: What to use to hang the posters other than the push pins.

[@Iqbalsmanga]

Blue tack/ sticky tack

[@mangatama]

yes!! i also recommend sticky tack :)) if you're looking for a more cautious answer, I sometimes use washi tape for very temporary posters~

[@AiStrous]

can u find a lot of manga in english in japanese store?

[@AlparslanKursadKagan]

Is it also possible to find Manga in english in Japan and if yes where i can find them?
