      we bought a combined 175+ manga... takes my collection (not counting any of hers) to about 1100...

        Ah Book-off. If I could marry a bookshop, it would be Book-off. ❤

            I love Book Off.

                  Wow.

                  Have a list of what you bought?

                  I gotta find out if there are any stores like this near me.

                    unless you live in japan, then probably not. Bookoff, unless something has drastically changed, is a japan only store

                                    Oh cool. When I went there last time, I was asking the store owner if they're planning to open one in San Jose. (Pretty embarassing now that I think about it.) But woot!

                                              I laughed when I heard ooshi had 800+ manga, but then it turns out that he has a girlfriend anyway. Shit…

                                              Hey, is that white set near the front Garfield?

                                                I laughed when I heard ooshi had 800+ manga, but then it turns out that he has a girlfriend anyway. Shit…

                                                Hey, is that white set near the front Garfield?

                                                no, it's some girl one… i have no idea what it is... the orange one is "ike- inachu takkyubu" or "go, inachu pingpong club". i wasn't too keen on it but my girlfriend got it for me.

                                                my girlfriend is japanese, it's normal there.
