Where To Buy Anime and Manga?
You can buy anime in stores like chapets.indigo or Amazon.com.The only problem is that they are generally
expensive to buy. For Manga books which include 4-5 episodes of the Manga comics it is around $25.00-30.00 Canadian dollars.
The same problem applies with buying anime DVD's or Video's
which can cost from 15.00 for VHS and 25.00-30.00 for DVD's.
The other problem lie in format. Dubbed or not Dubbed that is the question? You must check
carefully before buying to see if the anime or manga is in english version,or you
can buy it subtitled.You can also buy them in your local comicbook store if they have them.
You can buy anime and magna form Amazon.com and Chapters.indigo.ca also try searching on ebay.
