Nice video! Very calm and relaxing, I enjoyed watching 😊Great editing for the intro too There were so many manga volumes in there! I think you might like Tokyo Tarareba Girls - it’s a josei, and it focuses on more mature (meaning the character are in their thirties, not that there are explicit scenes) romance. It’s very realistic tho, so if you want like a fairy tale escapist type story, it’s not really that. In fact, if you’re looking for more manga about creating and art, the mangaka of TTG has another manga called Blank Canvas that’s an autobiographical look at her journey to becoming an artist. I haven’t read it, but I heard it’s good 🙂 I’m glad you were able to find Skip and Loafer vol.2! Vol.4 recently released, and it’s still one of my top on-going series 😁

thanks so much! I'll definitely have to revisit tokyo tarareba girls, sounds like something I would enjoy! Also will have to check out the others as well and omg volume 4 I'm SO behind! 😰

Your editing is so good! And this place looks so so good. I'm amazed at your finds with these hidden manga store gems! That set of Emma hardbacks instantly caught my eye, they're not out of print but they are hard to find right now, I would have probably snapped those up haha. They had the volume 1 of What A Wonderful World that I've been desperately searching for, been at the top of my wishlist ever since I got back into collecting manga ;; So jealous! It's so well stocked with old and new that it almost feels like someone's personal collection/library. I would lose my mind in here 100% haha, this is actually the best stocked manga store I've ever seen probably. Super nice pickups, so happy to see Takane & Hana (my fav) and I'm glad you could finally get Skip and Loafer 2!! :D I love vampire romance manga so I'll have to check out that vampire one, Limit is one I've been considering picking up aswell.

@@themangoose Aw no worries, it wasn't a request or anything I hope it didn't come off that way! Just lamenting and pointing out how awesome the selection is at the same time haha, cause that volume is hard to find for a decent price. I've seen people way overprice it even with water damage. Hope you enjoy the manga! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the vampire one especially

Wow, what a cool find! It looked so small from the front. :'D I never heard of Skip and Loafer, I really like the vibe of the art! I also really recommend Moteki and that author's other work Again!!, if only for how nice the art is and how distinctively she draws each character design. :) And I'm glad you got Seki-kun. The gags are really creative!
