New Local Store
Looks like there’s a new comic store opening up near me. Keep your fingers crossed that they’ll carry manga and anime. I went in to check it out the other night, but they haven’t stocked much of anything yet. I did see a few used anime VHS tapes, so there’s a little hope there. It was Dragonball Z mostly, but a few other titles were sprinkled in.
I hope that they’ll be open to stocking the otaku items along with the regular shipments of DC, Marvel and Magic: The Gathering. I’d love to be able to run to the store and pick up the orange Kasugai gummies I love so much or some almond crush pocky, but I’d settle for a few keychains and a shelf of manga.
The Power of The Web
Maybe I should offer a write up of the store in exchange for stocking a small selection of anime and manga. Shoot, I could try outright bribery. I’ve got the skills to build ‘em a fairly good website. Think I should try to barter my web skills for a small local manga haven?
Patience Is A Virtue (Just Not My Virtue)
It might not even be necessary to do all that. There might be a nice little otaku corner just waiting to be set up. Manga, snacks, toys and anime all in one place, and all closer than a two hour drive. That would be great.
I’ll just have to wait until the place is stocked, then I can figure out how much begging I’ll have to do to get ‘em to give up a shelf of Batman for a shelf of Bleach.
