I know that you can buy manga from eBay and Amazon but are there any other stores that sell manga?

Well, the go to place on the internet is http://www.mangauk.com. This site is one of the best places to buy manga in your area. Other than that, I have no other suggestions. I also notice they have a Funimaation streaming service. That is worth checking out as well.

WH Smith’s sells them- but very limited. Waterstones, Forbidden Planet and Tokyo Toys are mostly where I get mine from.

I know Forbidden Planet had a 3 for 2 offer on most of its manga, but I think it’s an in store only policy.

yeah sure, it depends quite a lot on where you live, main or big cities like London, Birmingham... must have at least one specialised comic/manga brick store. I know one in Richmond ( near London) ... but none in my area Guildford (Surrey) apart from the WHSmith or Waterstnes ...but ther barely the latest numbers, or blockbuster like "Naruto, Attack on Titan, etc ... " so if you looking for more specific series, older numbers ... they probably won't be to any use for you...

It depends on where you live. most waterstones have a manga section, WHSmith does have a place

All the places I know has already been mentioned. As what Kamina said, it depends on where you live. You could strike your luck and check charity shops, as it is possible to find some manga in there

Amazon I find the best place if you want something quick but if you want a physical copy forbidden planet or worlds apart (again depends where you are)

Forbidden Planet for sure although nearly every book-shop I've visited has stocked a considerably-impressive range of manga -find me a place that sells anime wall scrolls to return the favour plz X3

EDIT: disregard this, it was the product of 2 days without sleep! <3

I have literally zero shops in a 20 mile radius that sells this. It sucks.

wwoow, not even in a "waterstones" ? or WHSmith ?
I believe how difficult cut be for a small shops in smaller Cities, Towns, or villages ... to survive. ( I wont think ever after this pandemic times ... >_< )
May be if you got near an independent retailer who sell "Games-Warshop" ... and or table-top RPG's books ... there you provably can find something

Yeah. I live in a village, and the town I live close to is just full of charity shops and bargain shops...so not much help.
