This is a dream come true for those who love manga and comics.The most comprehensive Asian book/manga store in the East Coast. There're so many nice stationery items, I considered giving up computers!

Stationery! Japanese souvenirs! Oh, and books , yeah! I also like the selection for craft souls - if you like to knit, sew, crochet you'd find something interesting.

A Japanese bookstore near Bryant Park with various magazines, manga , books (English and Japanese), stationery, and other knick knacks. Cafe Zaiya is upstairs with great snacks and refreshments.

They have a very nice café and many Japanese manga (Japanese language !) for reasonable prices. Must-go if you don't like to import all the time yourself.

Some of the cutest stationary ever! Sells some anime merchandise on the floor above ground floor. A lot of good raw and untranslated Japanese books on both that floor and basement section.
