Best manga subscriptions in America?

[Koir]

Judging from how this thread has developed, my advice for the original thread starter is try the Yen Plus magazine. I know I didn't purchase it because I knew about every title in the anthology and the original thread starter didn't recognize any familiar titles, but that could be taken as an opportunity to open your horizons.

I didn't know about Pig Bride or many of the other stories in the book (and only had a vague idea about Higurashi When They Cry from looking at the DVD in a CD shop), but now I do. Finding new stuff you want to follow and purchase in future issues is quite a pleasant experience.

Alright, I'll look into Yen Plus. I agree with you that it shouldn't matter if I don't know them because I do like watching anime that I've never heard of. It's just the fact I'm paying $50 and don't know if it's really what I want.

Thanks for the Help!

That doesn't excuse the fact that you're damaging or ruining the products other people may purchase. Why not go to the library or something for your manga? You're not helping it become cheaper, and you aren't entitled to free manga.

I wrote that Manga Aisle Freeloaders blog post; it's nice to see it being used

Yeah, um, 5 of the 9 Yen+ features are Japanese, all of which are fairly well known series.

so not true....

anywayz...

have you tried your local used bookstore.....people sell they're other "manga"-zines there.....probably you can get a better idea there as to what exactly you want....

Sounds Good.
I'm just going to stop by my local bookstore and see what they have.
It's relatively small so I doubt they have very much to offer but hopefully they have something there.
