Unfortunately the only places Ive seen them are shoved in stores like WH Smith in the corners.
If you can find stores that have the american-esque 'comicbook store' feel with collectibles from star wars or marvel comics, try there, i know a store near me has stuff like death note DVD's and plushies, with a fair few shelves of manga.

Forbidden Planet is your friend. Check the side streets, that's where you'll find the hidden gems. :)

I know of a very good local store called Animez which specialises in anime and manga merchandise, but doesn't actually sell anime and manga. For buying anime and manga, you could always go to Forbidden Planet, or my personal favourite, Travelling Man.

Hope this has been of help to you!

Since when is scientific truth established by a poll? Democratic fundamentalism is spiralling out of control.

Nothing quite says "I'm warning you!" like a hot, noxious spray of toxic bodily fluids, right out of the anus.


I rate things by how much I enjoyed them, not by how good they are. My list is less trustworthy than a right-wing political manifesto if you're looking for reccomendations.
