【Loot】Kikan S, The Art of Sister Princess, and Various Manga from Book Off
A month goes by so quickly these days.
Book Off is a chain of used bookstores, although the stores also have some new books for sale, such as newly released manga tankoubon. They sell almost exclusively Japanese books, but the overseas branches have sections devoted to books in the respective domestic language as well. They operate mainly in Japan, but have branches in Seoul, South Korea; the United States; Vancouver, Canada; and Paris, France.

It’s one of my favourite scenes in a manga, a page that pertains to my personal interests.

I love book off! You can get manga for like a little more than a dollar if you live in Japan and go to one…its too bad there are none like that in the US and we’re stuck buying manga at exhoborant prices.
