In Columbus, OH there is a store that carries some manga. It is a japanese
store that opened about a month ago in Kenny Center (on Kenny Road, just
south of intersection with W Henderson Rd.).
I've been to this store only a couple of times but I already managed to spend
in excess of $200 there :-) .....
Of course they don't carry a LARGE selection of manga but there are still
quite a few titles available. They have (or did have before I went through :-)
Some Urusei Yatsura, Touch, Yawara!, Video Girl Ai, Cats Eyes, City Hunter,
Patlabor, Maison Ikkoku, Saint Seiya, Hokuto no Ken, Rumic World, 3x3 Eyes
(and more.....). Please note that for the most part they have just afew volumes
(for example they have just a couple of City Hunter manga i.e. vol. 21 and 22)
In addition to manga they also sell various books, CD (even some anime CD's,
for exampe I got there Shurato OVA CD, Nausicaa Hi-Tech CD, Bye Bye Blue Water
CD and Best of Gundam CD. Also I know they have Akira Soundtrack <not the
Symphonic Suite!!!>, Patlabor on Television CD plus about half a dozen
Dragonball <Z> CD's) and also they rent tapes.....
The prices they charge are comparable to Nikaku's (sometimes more, sometimes
less.....CD's are slighty higher)
Ah, I almost forgot :-) ... the store is called "NEW JAPAN" (I believ it
belongs to same people who own "Restaurant Japan" <japanese restaurant in
the same shopping center> and "Seafood Japan" <grocery story with japanese
food, also in the same shopping center>)
As this store just opened I hope that they will bring more and more stuff :-)
unfortunatelly right now they get shipment from Japan only once a month :-(
[ Eeeck... this is getting long :-]
If you have any question about or would like some more info before you commit
to a long drive to Columbus, let me know and I'll reply ASAP.... heck this
store is within walking distance from where I live (what a blessing :-)

That's a good sign! I have some other book and gun stores to visit in the area
so they'll go on the list too. Thanks. Could you post their exact address?
