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).

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.

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.

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).
