| whats the weirdest place you've ever seen manga being sold? I mean like the last place on earth you'd expect to see it and BAM there it is. For me, it was a stack of initial D being sold at a Radio Shack |

| Well, i foiund some in my library, but i guess weirdest would have to be this toy store near my house. It usually only has action figures and those gundams you put together but they added manga in the corner. Books in a toy store. Amazing. |

I saw Shounen Jump being sold at a local blockbuster, a while back. In fact I bought it, my first jump, the 2nd issue. Also at my school "book fair" I saw a whole bunch of manga being sold.... though by the end there were still a lot left Not enough fans in my school. |

Some kid in my school threw a manga book right into the garbage can. Right in front of my face too and good thing my friends are there when I beat him senseless. Otherwise I would've been expelled.
I recovered the manga though, it was Rozen Maiden volume 1 |

| Buying a Pokemon manga at Superfresh, look before they had Shonen Jump or any other manga (or most comic books) in their store. |

Hahaha Rozen Maiden huh? I find that amusing... very amusing indeed.
Back in my native country, it wasn't uncommon to see manga anywhere so I can't recall any unusual places I found one at. In Canada, I never see one lying around anywhere other than stores. _________________ [IMG:258:200]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/ypark/sigs/3fsn.png[/img] |
