An excellent selection, depending on when you come you may find some older used manga (English or Japanese). Was surprised they had Mai the Psychic Girl (in English) but no Urusei Yatsura.

Chris Raghoobar

Everything is so cheap here! That they carry plenty of older, often out-of-print anime and manga (albeit secondhand) is incredible. Japanese books & CDs, too!

Kevin Tak

Bring old books , electric devices for sale, if you find anything you do not use anymore. It will be shared with other people for less price, which is good. Also, you will have more spaces for next!

Dan Lam

One of the best used books/music/movies store in the city . You can find both Japanese and Western media here. Decent prices and you can find yourself looking around for hours. Great for manga fans.

Karen

This place is absolutely stellar. From the amazing figurines to the Pop! characters to the books and videos and games. Spent a half hour in here before I knew it.

Leco

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, try another day - new stuff all the time! If you see what you like, grab it immediately - it might not be there next time.

Eric Lee

It varies every so often but sometimes you can find a bunch books in amazing condition. Lots of great manga as well . Worth taking multiple trips (spaced out enough) to get some good stuff.

Ehtesh Choudhury

Great selection of used books , music , comics , and electronics . Unfortunately, it's not possible to look up a book in a database. It's either in one of the aisles or not. It's all in the hunt!

Janelle Olmeda

Amazing books , manga , DVD and all a huge selection. Fiction English book section is small but can still find some stuff. They do have manga and anime in English/Sub.

Harumi U

You will find lots of great deal here and not just books (including manga ). You will find mobile devices, board games , you name it!

Jatin Abacousnac

First time here, and I absolutely love this place. I got five books in excellent conditions for $11, and I am so excited to read each one of these! Hoping to visit again

Jason Vines

Just like Book Off in Japan. Great for Japanese and English language books . Thousands of CDs and books for $1. Look out for sales - sometimes 5 CDs all for $2. Big used video game selection, too.

Riiin Llll

so many cds and dvds to choose! and you can also find some Tv dramas there of original japanese edition.

Myra Wang

Great bookstore , second hand books and records, Japanese books upstairs, large collection

Kimmie Ohh

Amazing deals on books & DVDs! You can grab a bunch of books for $1!!

Courtney

Everything is great! I love the movies and mangas downstairs

Carmen N

Great and plentiful used book store . Japanese chain, so look for lots of Asian books and manga .

Myst D

Much easier to ask a worker for help on something like for me music , & not look at you like you have 2 heads & actually help you. Wish they had a online catalog so I could look for specific music cds.

Airlangga Wattimena

It's Heaven to have the used book store like this. I am loving it!

Kris Rodriguez

This place is fantastic, super nice, great stuff and they give you cash for your crap! Made 50 bucks ANDDDD freed a whole bookshelf!

Alex Tavarez

Great cheap selection of items of various kinds. Great for those who want to save money!

John Paterakis

First place I've seen in 30 years selling RCA SelectaVision video discs (although I don't think that they were $1 each back in the day.)

Mike Tamburelli

$1 manga and CDs are a godsend. Really useful as a guy wanting to stock up on Japanese reading material!

Paul Devenish

A huge treasure trove of books , films , music and collectables!

ドーラ

One of the coolest places in Manhattan to treasure-hunt your favorite Japanese manga books , music , games, movies , novels , etc. Great prices.

Timelessnomad

Awesome Japanese books downstairs. Used magazines at great prices! Now I just need to learn how to read Japanese!

Samuel Gozlan

Amazing place. I used to live in Paris and they have one there Rue St-Augustin. I always bought all my mangas there. Great place for japanese fans. ^_^

Jessie W

Highly recommend. Got a Tom Wolfe hardcover in great condition for only $1.00...can't beat that!

Japanese books are really the attraction here. English gems are rare.

Great way of getting of games, movies , music you don't want

Dylan Acres

Fantastic selection of manga , cheap anime and J-Pop. Different from Kinokuniya but not in a bad way.

Glen Olivier

Be sure to check the used anime section for some hidden gems !

TeeAnje Bright

Great selections of books , cds/dvds, etc... If you are looking to sell old games, bring here and get CASH for it, instead of trading it in at GameStop for 0 value.

M T

Check your used discs before buying. Staff will let you if you ask. It's saved me from slashed up TV show & movie DVDs.

Travis Müller

Look in the sale section before anything else. They have multiple copies of the same CD, but some art priced 80% cheaper if you find some in the sale section .

3Scribbles

Hundreds of books , dvds, cds, games and more to buy starting at $1
