Wish I had known about Mandrake when I was over there last…

I found one store that was ONLY anime based books- manga, magazines, art book, etc. But I can’t remember the name. IT must be well known, it was packed (but then isn’t everything in akiba?).

Amazon is one of the best, cheapest, and easiest for people outside of Japan. If you buy enough books at once, the shipping price comes way down per book.

Then of course there’s the biggest online store in japan….

It’s a really impressive store – at least to a foreigner like me – the top two floors feel more like a museum than a shop, the number of antiques and rarities they have is incredible.

If I make it over there again – and hopefully fairly soon – you’ll have to let me buy you a bowl of ramen. It’d be good to have a chat

I’ve not been to the Mandarake flagship store in Akiba, though I’ve been in several in other locations. Great shop, great selection and ok prices.

Sure looks like great art book. I’ve always like mecha, gundams and stuff. Thanks for sharing the photos
