Manga
 
for those interested in Manga, where do you find is a good place to shop for some online?

i've got Chapters book stores near by but don't get to them that often.

been recently reading some Dragon Ball; Dragon Ball Z; Batman; and Star Trek Manga

Wildgoose 02-01-2011 06:45 AM

I dont buy them online...I prefer reading them online...but I have bought some from my local shop. Still, their price is really high.

Unfortunately for me, the manga I dig (KissXSis) seems to be only printed in Japanese. I read translations of it online. I've taken interest in purchasing some Pokemon & Legend Of Zelda manga though, and those are available on both ebay and amazon (I would assume other online shops may have them as well).

TheCanadiandrome 02-03-2011 04:35 PM

i've seen a bit of Pokemon Manga at book stores and at my local Zellers. think i might look for some at the Library

Samhain 02-03-2011 04:37 PM

I get my Pokemon and Dragonball Manga from my local mall. Im sure you can go to a book store like borders and find what you need.

TheCanadiandrome 02-03-2011 07:49 PM

yeah for sure. but the library has also been good. i'm going to get some more Dragonball and Dragonball Z stuff

What stores have Pokemon manga? & really, Borders?

If I do buy manga, I usually buy it in Japanese. And I get them from Book Off in New York so they're only $1-3.

I have a few Kiss x Sis mangas. They're pretty ridiculous.

I'm currently reading City Hunter online, since I can't find it any where else and they only released up to volume five in America. It's an old manga that came out in 1985, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Too bad it didn't do well in the U.S, it did well in france, italy and I think Spain though.

Meganfox and watchanimeon.com have some translated manga chapters of all kinds of manga; from mainstrean to obscure ones.

Wildgoose 02-04-2011 05:12 AM

I don't know if those stores are exclusive to Canada or not, but I sure don't have any near me, man.

I have gotten mine from Borders, Books a million, Barnes and Noble and my local comic shop. All those places have most of the chapters, at least where I live.

If you want a badass Anime/Manga pick up Saiyuki.

TheCanadiandrome 04-16-2011 11:33 AM

never heard of Saiyuki, what's it about?

This kind of rhymes. Very nice!

I use Barnes and Noble as my library, and some have a decent selection of manga. I don't read it that often, but I do like me some RuroKen.

Its an "updated" version of The Journey West (the same legend that DBZ is very loosely version.) Basically 4 heroes have to make it to India before a demon is released and destroies earth and shangri-la (heaven).

cool. sounds interesting, might see if my Library has some. i picked up some DBZ today from the Library and Street Fighter as well

Wildgoose 05-06-2011 02:34 AM

Saiyuki rocks!! It's one of my fave mangas. I also recommend Rurouni Kenshin.

Sage Ninja 05-06-2011 03:03 AM

Alice 19th for those into some shoujo manga. It's a cute series and the star isn't one of those cookie cutter spunky chicks with an explosive temper like other manga/anime herions.

The story of Rurouni Kenshin takes place during the early Meiji era in Japan. It tells the story of a peaceful wanderer named Himura Kenshin, formerly known as the assassin "Hitokiri Battōsai". After participating during the Bakumatsu war, Kenshin wanders the countryside of Japan offering protection and aid to those in need as atonement for the murders he once committed as an assassin.


Hey if your interested (anyone for that matter) I have saiyuki episodes 1-50.

TheCanadiandrome 05-07-2011 09:35 PM

hmm, sounds interesting

Voltron 05-13-2011 08:48 AM

I love Ruroken. I've been through it twice, now. Awesome book, and way better than the anime.

TheCanadiandrome 07-18-2011 10:52 PM

does anyone know if there was any GI Joe Manga done, and where i can find some Transformers stuff?
