[Izayoi]

The internet is great but there is nothing like going in a physical store to lurk around for hours and not buy anything. In the States, if the city is big enough then it will have one or two anime store. I go to Kinokinuya to pick up a light novel but they usually are way expensive. I rather pay for shipping in bundle than pay for that extra cost plus tax. As for out of United States, I been to China and there are usually a minimum of one or two manga/light novel stores with one or two figurine stores even if it is only small city. However, the quality of the product is seriously lacking. It is cheap though! About $2 for a volume of probably counterfeit Chinese translated mangas.
