ebay is also helpful sometimes.

Wow, they are cheap..but is the quality good though? I hate having to buy like 10 bucks just for one....

I've noticed different companies sell them at different prices...the cheapest I've ever bough was $7.99...><

Still expensive...

quality is great but you need to call them sometimes if they haven't got your order in.

I do get mine from the library--I don't own any...too expensive. (If I wanted something REALLY badly, then I might think of buying.)

Our county library system is really big, and us manga (and manhwa) addicts have bugged the library for years--we used to have so little--but as they finally caught on, and now we have a lot of it.
