    Hi there!
    That's my first post (and 1st thread) - at the beginning I want to apologize for any grammar mistakes: as you can see on my nickname, i'm a Pole ;)

    I live in Ireland for about 5 months, and I didn't see any manga books since I moved to Ireland. So, is there any manga books to buy in Ireland? Maybe I couldn't see them because I live in a smaller town (Ennis, Co. Clare), or maybe you don't have them? But it will be kinda wierd - no mangas i ncountry such as Ireland - I can't believe...

    Thanks in advance for any replies

    There are some shops around, but honestly, I buy about 95% of them off amazon.co.uk

    Well, Eason's are your best bet, since there's a few round Ireland. But in Dublin, manga's quite easy to find if you look hard enough;
    Forbidden Planet - Crampton Quay
    Perhaps the biggest selection of manga I know of, they have a pretty cool selection and usually have a 3 for 25 euro offer on their stuff. Also offer anime and related merch.
    Sub-City - Somewhere near a Hotel... (exact location anyone?)
    Also a pretty good selection, a bit more varied than most stores and pack a lot in for a small shop!
    The Third Place - Temple Bar
    Only a small bit of manga, but worth checking out all the same. And some manga/anime figures too.
    Story - Temple Bar
    Have a load of manga backissues and Pulp Magazine issues, but also stock some rare tankobon volumes and some merch/figures too.
    Easons - O' Connell Street
    If you're looking for bucketloads of Tokyopop manga, check out here, there's tons but not that many great titles IMO.
    Chapters - Somewhere near O' Connell Street
    Bottom floor has a nice little varied selection of manga, and some at discount prices, and the top floor has a fair bit of secondhand manga at cheap prices too. Just don't ever trade anything in to 'em.
    Hodges & Figgis - (can't remember)
    Well, this is a bookstore somewhere near Sub-City, and stocks a bit-better-than-average manga selection.
    Waterstones - Right across from Hodges
    Pretty much the same amount of manga Hodges has, and a stand full of Tokyopop stuff too.

    Hope this helps ya a bit in someway or another...

    Hi there, I know it's a bit away but Khan's Books in Kilkenny have started selling Manga comics and to be honest, it would be worth the trip as I have gotten comics and books there and they are like €4.99 and €6.99 which is nothing compared to what I was paying online.

    They are on James Street at the back of Market Cross Shopping Centre.

    Good Luck!
