Mighty Manga Stocktake Sale
We've mounted up magnificent savings for a huge range of Manga titles, grab a whole pile of books filled with action, adventure, romance and more for $5 each and some as low as $2!
edit:
I recommend slam dunk vol 1-30 (vol 9 missing) if you haven't read it. It cost $58+$4 shipping

they should have them at kinokuniya, if you don't mind paying 10
Sneaky leaving out the first few volumes of a series from the sale
Yeh really reccomend Slam Dunk, bought it the other time it was on sale, reading it the third time through
Urgh, can't they list it by series instead of showing ten thousand volumes for every single different anime?
Sorry, posted by mistake.
usually read them online but at $2… oh so tempting..
Think I'll get Slam Dunk Vols 1-8 & some other crappy manga. Unfortunately there's nothing else that really stands out as a must-have. A lot of these are long series as well so you can't buy anything like DOMU where its just 1 book
pitty they havent got the whole series of One Piece on sales :(
still a good deal however
$10 for two volumes is pretty good
I do like how it shows you the amount that you've saved through the discounts… $114 (incl shipping), RRP 602.25. Christ, manga sure is overpriced.
Resisted the temptation to buy the DBZ series, too many missing volumes, and at $5 a pop.
Well people usually buy a new graphic novel around once every couple of months as it gets released. They don't buy the whole series at once ;)
Also I used to pay $30 per graphic novel back when importing wasn't an option. Now THAT was a ripoff :P
when was that? $30 a book is sooo expensive
I remember it as $30 too! I got a couple then stopped as it was too exxy, plus I saw the anime series already
Like the late 1990s :P Paperback quality was better, bigger & much more professional looking though than today's tiny books
I remember having spent roughly ~$300 for my entire Dragon ball Collection, then another $60 for the movie manga collection, then another $30 for Toriyama's parodies…Super Neko-jin and so forth…
Those were the days…pricey books.
when I was living in Tokyo I used to walk past piles of mangas on trash night.
probably the lower quality brown paper manga
Shame you had to explain what Manga is.
lol only trying to turn more poeple into otakus :P
Can't believe I just spent $86 on the Slam Dunk and Love Hina. Lol, recommended retail value =$468, saved $382 wow.
Thanks OP
Any other recommendations, other than Slam Dunk?
ragnarok is quite good ;)
Neon Genesis Evangelion if you haven't read/seen it already
http://www.madman.com.au/actions/catalogue.do?sortKey=3&sale…
The first two are not on special though, 11, 12 not on special either
Oh hell yes. I picked up volume 30 at borders for $9 today. I've been meaning to complete Slam Dunk for a long time but could never justify shelling over the hundreds of dollars it would take to do so. Good thing I already have Volumes 9 and 31 since they're missing.
dislike you~~ T.T should i pay 15 bucks for 31?
I think there might have been a pricing error when this first started. A few days ago these were $1 (for the $2 ones) and $3.50 (for the $5 ones).
omg, i totally missed that but $2-$5 is still cheap
I wouldn't mind getting the Love Hina books, but Vol 3 isn't available… anyone know where I might get that from?
Just tentatively…

Googling the ISBN number shows another website stating it is the Chuang Yi version.
Edit: If I haven't got it wrong…it's S$7 for Vol.03, but bluddi S$29,80 for delivery to Aus.
Gonna enquire about whether Kinokuniya S'pore can transfer stock to the Sydney store first, before delivering domestically.
you can buy from bookdepository and many online book stores, for the rest. Only vol 31 is hard to get.
i didnt know you can ask them to transfer to syd store before posting to other places. u think delivery price will change?
i accidentally put an order for vol then i email them to check how much they will charge (coz i thought faq might not be updated). even the order doesnt say how much delivery will be, so when they emailed my equiry back and stated S$30, i instantly cancel order and account.
Well I just got +Anima. It seemed ok from what I read of it but if it turns into a furry love fest then I guess I have some expensive kitty litter. All I'll need is a cat.
There was also some star trek which made me curious.
Nothing I /actually/ wanted and yet I spent money. Sigh. I think I failed here somewhere.
I know what you mean "But its only $2!" I keep saying to myself :(
Same spent so much, keep thinking to myself its only 2 dollars so freaken cheap… :)
LOL
Bought Slam Dunk Vol 1-6 & Tenchi Muyo 1-5. Didn't really want to invest in a whole series, I like to have some variety
Dragon ball is a better manga than Slam Dunk.
But there's over 9000 volumes! :P
Every one of them is worth it. Akira Toriyama is a brilliant artiste.
maybe but most people have seen the anime on tv
You're talking about Dragonball Z, not Dragonball. Or maybe they released the English version of Dragonball already. Damn i'm out of touch with the times.
wow i didn't know that D:
i better buy some dragonball manga
don't diss slam dunk
Anyone know the delivery time? Bought a bunch of volume 1's to get a feel of what manga I want to read and buy more of. Hope it is not more than a week or 2.
Positive man brought love hina slam dunk and midori and just 100 bucks all up can't belive it!!
daughter went nuts 26 books in 26 seconds
Bit late but if anyone is interested to know, I got all the missing ones directly from the publisher… Was missing 11-12 volumes from all sorts of titles I got off madman, each book including shipping ended up costing me about $11.80/book to complete each of my series! If you work out the cost of $2 per book then 1-2 missing volumes at $11.80/book, the whole series is still dirt cheap! Less than 50-75% lol
