I've just gotten into Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-San (Skilled Teaser Takagi)

Jesus Christ these two are precious.

Holy shit, those still exist?

Barely.

I've been going to various locations pretty frequently now that I'm working eleven hour days, six days a week. It's something that gets me out of the house and slightly eases the pain of wage slavery.

The selection is universally shit. For popular series, they are always out of stock of early and recent volumes, which serves nobody. And when you do find something, it's more often than not in what tantamounts to used condition because the employees refuse to do anything about the obese thirteen-year-olds who treat the place like a library.

The place is technically a good deal, because most stores have a buy two, get one free deal, but it's worthless because you rarely find three things worth buying.

EDIT: They've apparently gotten rid of the three for two deal, which completely negates any reason to ever go there. Which is bullshit because it's still applicable on Western graphic novels. Fuck Barnes and Noble.

Pretty much, I remember the days when I was seeing those kids laying all over the section Borders had their graphic novels at.

Damn, you must have some of the shittiest B&Ns I have heard of. Both of the ones near me have the latest stuff in stock, in generally excellent condition, and I'm almost always the only one in the manga section.

That's how mine is. I'm just glad they have something at all even if it feels like I'm the only person ever interested in it. They're really the only bookstore I have left around here (retail anyway). I miss a local shop I used to go to before Borders bought them out.
