Manga Shopping 🛒 || Barnes & Noble

[@TrueDolo]

everytime i go to the bookstore my wallet cries

[@purplefrogYT]

samee 😂😂

[@luiscastillo.6194]

i dont even care I just SWIPE that card and BOOM 60 something dollars and 5 dollars more since i always get starbuck inside there 😭but ehhh i forget about it after i start reading

[@michaliskorkolis808]

When I go manga shopping I DONT CARE I spend like 200 dollars

[@arib_bruh]

I'm just here crying inside because in my country we don't have many physical stores that have manga.

[@Anti-Rizz585]

My wallets slowly perishes knowing I’m going to a book store😅

[@divineheir7328]

Must be nice having such a well stocked Barnes and Nobles. I will cherish this happiness vicariously through this video 😢

[@purplefrogYT]

I hope a store near you gets a good manga selection soon!

[@t_t356]

Seeing a lot of people here who don’t have a barnes and noble where they live. I’ll be sure to be more thankful I have one haha

[@purplefrogYT]

I am also so fortunate to have them near me, I hope more people around the world can gain access to stores that are similar!

[@Hori.Blurrr]

It’s kind of sad how Barnes and Nobles isn’t international. They have such great offers on manga’s but it’s not in my country so I can’t help but feel envious since I have to always get my manga so expensive and can hardly find any!

[@purplefrogYT]

Ahh I hope Barnes and Nobles becomes a global chain soon! I hope manga in your country becomes more widely available for reasonable prices soon!

[@oleh_reviewer]

Yeah, I would've wanted to get some manga in English, although I'm really happy that last year we finally started to get licensed manga in Ukrainian here 🥰 And there's quite a few great series too!

[@Stardust375]

In my country there is no Barnes and nobles and kinokoniya (I think that’s what it’s called)

[@MrKruger333]

This makes me so jealous 😭 the largest comics/manga shop near me is 30mins away which isnt that far luckily but im pretty sure the selection is still less than B&N

YEEES thank you so much for the close up on the NGE manga, I will definitely get it, as always nice video!!!! Thank you so much seriously :D

[@purplefrogYT]

No problem! I am glad it was of use to you!! And thank you!!

[@katlificati0n]

Seeing vids like this make me so happy and hopeful that there’s places with so much stuff. Only recently (as in the second half of this year) have bookstores near me JUST started stocking up and expanding thier collection. When I was starting to get into manga, the nearest store had like 6 aot volumes. Plus most are pricey, so I can’t wait to find stores like this overseas!

[@purplefrogYT]

It is so great that manga is becoming more widely available ! I hope it continues to grow in its accessibility in retail stores near you!

[@zalezagoon1247]

Food Wars was the first series I actually ended up completing on my own. I've been collecting manga for forever, but it was the first series I collected every volume of. It was also what got me into cooking, honestly. I love it so much ♥

[@purplefrogYT]

It is such an amazing series! Not to mention the way the series portrays cooking is so unique!

[@gowonwebdramaplease7189]

I feel like crying just watching this video😭. Our city doesn’t really have a nice bookstore that sells manga. But just watching this vid is enough to satisfy me somewhat🥲

[@purplefrogYT]

Ahhh I hope you get a better manga store near you soon!

[@X18-k]

I can kind of relate. In my country there's only one shop I think that sells manga and the one that is the closest to me has only 1 small bookshelf designated for it. I love going there but I still wish they added more

[@purplefrogYT]

Thanks! I will be probably going there soon since I received a giftcard

[@ramen-guts3886]

I remember I started collecting takane and Hana in middle school when it was first being published in English and I completely over looked the age gap! 😭😭 I thought Hana was like 20💀💀 I went to reread the series and when I saw the age gap I was like-- wait W u t. And it sucks because it was really funny it's just not as high ranking for me because of the huge age difference. 😔

[@purplefrogYT]

I don’t know why the author made the characters have such a large age gap! I have heard so many great things about the series, but haven’t gotten around to reading it because of the age gap!

[@finyura]

fr I read the whole series a few years back and it was my favorite Shōjo series ever but I looked at it again (since I bought the special volume) and I was kinda sad because it was so cute and the art was amazing but the age gap kinda made me lose interest in it now

[@point-sg1xm]

Your voices over and giggles says how passionate ur abt this🤩🤩

[@reesealthea3299]

[@chrissigh]

Wow, seeing the selection they have here is crazy. In canada, our main retail bookstore is like a tenth of what was in this video. Makes collecting series so difficult :(

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I love to see other people talking about their interest in Food Wars. It's one of my favorite manga series and not that many people talk about it which is big sad. Also, love the video!!! The manga selection at that Barnes and Noble is bigger than my future. It's so huge!!!!! And the amount of stuff they have I am simply blown away!!

[@purplefrogYT]

This location has such an amazing selection! I agree! Food wars is a great series! I love how dramatic the cooking is !

[@SleepyHoax]

@@purplefrogYT SAME!!! It constantly feels like a battle to the death every time. Even if it's a drawing the food looks amazing and even though I don't know a lot about food/cooking in general it feels like the characters put a lot of thought in what food to make and how to better their cooking abilities! It truly a shonen battle manga!! That location is so awesome compared to my local Barnes and Noble selection I WISH I could shop there my jaw dropped when I saw how huge it is :0

I really want to collect The Girl from the Other Side... not just for the story but because the title has Gaelic in it which is my mother before my mother's tongue. The rough translation is Siúil, A Rúin: Walk, oh love. The only problem is that they spelled it like Rún stead of Rúin (which is the proper spelling in Irish.)

[@purplefrogYT]

That is so cool ! I had no idea! The collectors editions are really nice! I hope you can get them soon!
