|
|
I'm leaving at the end of the month to go to Japan for 3 weeks.
Does anyone here know if there is anywhere in Japan that sells American comic books? I'm thinking that there has to be a place somewhere in Tokyo...
I'll be in Nagano, Kyoto and Tokyo and some of the surrounding areas. _________________

I didn't see any when I was there unfortunately.
You may find some in some booths by the train stations.. I was too busy trying to catch a train but it looked like an American comic.. then again, it might have been something like Shonen Jump. _________________

Friend of mine tells me there's a comic store that sells western comics in Kobe but exactly where I'm afraid I couldn't say. _________________

I think you might be out of luck here my friend. If you do find a place, most likely they will be collected works and translated. If not, then their is every chance that they would be a couple weeks behind or more.
Either go without or have them shipped, depending on how long you'll be there. _________________ Friends Of THWIP!

There is a shop in Kyoto that had a limited selection the last time I was there.
I think it was called "Big Boss"
Or "Boss" comics.
Something like that.
A couple blocks from Kyoto Tower.
And there are collected trades in a lot of the bookstores you find in malls. |
