So, I am in a class called "Manga Mania." Yes, I know what you are thinking... Kelly, you don't really like manga all that much? Why are you taking that class? Well, that is the exact reason as to why I'm taking the class, because I am natural about manga and anime. I have neither a like nor dislike for them. I figured this would be a good why to find out why people like manga so much. What appeals to the vast amount of people that would buy volume after volume for a long ongoing series? What makes them so popular? Now, I am not sure if I will ever get those answers, but this class is a good great starting point.
Anyway, one the first day of class, my Manga Mania professor tells my class that he is having a field trip on Friday and only the first 25 people to sign up can go. However, if someone doesn't show up, then someone can take their place. The trip was free, so no worries. Everyone rushed up to the desk to sign up to go. Some people in the class could not make it.
So, Friday comes and get get onto our little bus. See below! Some people were there that didn't sign up and waited until the signed up people didn't show up before getting on the bus. We get on the bus and off we go!
After about 30 minutes are so, we arrived at Manga Souko. Manga Souko is a used manga shop that also sells character goods, costumes, cds, fishing supplies, clothing, and had crane machines you can play with. All the stuff there is really cheap! :D I know where I am buying some more clothes ;D
The items were really cheap - especially the clothes. I bought a skirt and shorts for myself, presents for a few people who I will not name because then it ruins the surprise, a Hello Kitty charm dressed as a bear to put on my camera, and yeah.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to buy cheap - mostly in good shape - items from anime/manga or clothing or designer goods at a low price, etc. This post is technically "What to Do in Akita? [Part 3]" but I am not counting it as so.
Love the shirt!!
