Where to find them

Obviously one can buy comic mags at newsstands and at railway stations and so on, book collections in specialist stores and bookshops. There are libraries for comics only. There are manga cafes, offering an hourly charge to sit and read from their tens of thousands of volumes. And famously, for those who have an urgent need to read a comic overnight, there are manga vending machines.
