You should try Bookoff stores in the US. Bookoff - Los Angeles 1610 W Redondo Beach Bl #E8, Gardena, CA 90247 310-532-5010 Bookoff - New York 14 E 41 St , New York, NY 10017-6200 212-685-1410 212-685-3667 I cite a post recomending Bookoff New York here: >Japanese famouse second-hand bookstore has been opened in New York >in April. >They sell many Japanese shoujo manga in addition to shounen manga >and novels and CDs. >Their price of ordinary comic is $2.99. >It is worth visiting there once. >Bookoff New York Store >14E 41th St., New York, NY 10017 I think they have shipping service at these stores. You can also buy comics and other books less than $5 each online at the site below. The page is in Japanese, but I guess you can inquire in English if you're interested. http://www.ebookjapan.jp/bs/f_url.asp? cid=VCT00001&url=/shop/index_manga.asp > Also, on a more on topic note, I had a quick grammar question.

"-tte" never means "-tachi". Generally, it's used in a sentence like "Otokotte hontou ni kodomo yo ne" (Men are really childish, aren't they?/Boys will be boys.) It can be paraphrased as "Otoko to iu no wa hontou ni kodomo desu ne". Kamui Yahoo!
