You seem really cool. I like your videos. I have been into comics my whole life. I'm getting interested in manga but I know nothing and when I go into a book store it's a bit intimidating. I don't know where to even begin. Anyones have any tips for a noob? Thanks

[spookymcfuzzy]

I'm guessing you've never been to Kinokuniya!

[tsukai4iraishi]

[beyondbookworm]

beautiul! i want a kinokuniya! i live in a town so small, the nearest decent mall is an hour away. where do u like live? im not being a stalker or anything (just a die hard fan *jk* :)) but, i'll like move there when im 18.... maybe.

u should do a ROOM TOUR!!!

[crashoverridemaxi21]

Hello you has a magnificent collection of manga you has it how much in total in good volume on

[leonismint]

your lip looks awesome :O :'( i want mine done but im 14 and mah mamma wont let me lol

[mangashadowfox]

japanese is too hard korean is easy^_^

[tokirocket]

Lol, I make more in one month than you make in an entire year. I also probably have a bigger dick. :)

[Donghaemily]

@tokirocket Kickass, Gurl :D

[tokirocket]

MapleRichPlan: I took about 5 minutes getting ready as I already had makeup on from work that day. The video sucks because I'm not professional and I'm using a point and shoot camera. I'm far from ugly, but it's ok you're clearly racist so naturally you find me unattractive based on color. Rarely does a comic cost me $10, watch the other videos to find out how. ;) Comics contain chapters, not episodes. Because reading comics for free is theft. Thanks for your comment. :)

[tokirocket]

MapleRichPlan: oh, I forgot to address the dyke comment. You can call me fat if you wish, as body type is relative. If you're asian, I can see how you'd think I'm possibly fat. In my culture, I'm on the slimmer side of average body type. As for being a dyke: no thanks. I prefer men. I can see how you might think I'm a dyke based on the stereotype that only men can be confident or intelligent. Try to get over that and you'll probably make more friends. :)

[FinalFantasyFan92]

TokiRocket, Don't bother talking to this moron.

As I said, I reported him for this video and the abuse he left on mine.

He is just a troll.. not worth bothering with. Just delete the his pointless comment.

You are beautiful and an are an awesome person =] Love your videos ^^

[silenthillmaster755]

@tokirocket Hahaha pwnt.

[blank21121]

@tokirocket You're Awesome!! :D

[MulticolouredMoogle]

You don't read anime. You read MANGA. Do the research before you insult people you horrible person.

[DDRGURU56]

I cannot believe you are 27. When I first saw you I thought you were 18 or 19. Amazing! Anyways very very useful vids you got here, they helped alot. Thanks.

[spookymcfuzzy]

[mangamania131]

[jennibearr]

Your videos are awesome, I'm subscribing ^-^

[na6drifter]

is ther a online site wher you can read free japanese manga i found many but all in english

[Punkasiangrl14]

Thank you so much for posting this video otherwise I would have never known about "Bookoff"!!

I live in a suburban area of New York so I went to the one in Manhattan and it was awesome *o*

[djboppah]

oh man, heisig's remembering the kanji. I'm through 1260 kanji in that book

[UltimaMan1]

i can buy them at borders right?

[FlareKage]

there is also sasuga online japanese bookstore

[mangashadowfox]

When I went 2 bookoff I almost fainted! Thanx 4 telling me about it!;3

[rss313]

Hell yea. The upstairs is...god, so massive.

[DCKar2nist]

how would you go about looking up a kanji in that book? stroke order?

[dableutyef]

In mine you can look them up by the number of strokes

[ultraali453]

Dammmmm there's so much manga in that store. There's none where i live. Oh well there's always the internet

[XxNikkimousexX]

i know! thers none where i live either xD just my luck =[

[reialuz19]

You can get the first chapter of REMEMBERING THE KANJI 1 for free here. hkanjidotkoohiidotcom

[animefan07863]

hey nice stuff. Did you move to ya new place yet? ya should give us a tour ^^ Well, I find english books good too, but japanese are cheaper online. Getting SailorMoon is very rare and expensive. The anime series as well. Do you do Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters? I love Yugi Mutou Atemu! ^^

[Umbagog11]

Great videos tokirocket! So informative for a manga newbie like myself...

[maybekawaii]

how long did it take for you to memorize the kanji..?

[TUNEtheRAINBOWxX]

Umm just wanted to know what exact books you'd recomend for learning Japanese? Ive been digging around and have yet to find a kanji dictionary. And yes, a video explaining how to use it would be really nice : )

[audrey7272]

Thank you for these videos. You give such amazing advice for self-learners and homeschoolers/unschoolers. It's such a great way for young people to pick up a new language without awkward Pimsleur CD's or the pressure of a classroom structure.

[rainbowhill88]

I used spend hours in the Book-off and other furuhonya in Japan. There was just so much to go through.

Old magazines and art books were also good to look at. Traditional arts like stencilling and kirigami were my faves.

[Radjack0alucard]

"HEAT OF THE MOMENT"

XD

I hope we had stores like that in Portugal, The biggest one we have here has like 1/10 of the manga on the first shelf T.T

[AgentYlime]

There is a Book Off near me (the one in Costa Mesa) and I was wondering if they often have "out of print" manga there. For example, what are the chances that Sailormoon vol. 1 and Suki vol. 1-3 are there? Also, do the people there speak english (well-ish) ? I've taken ~1 year of Japanese but I'd still find it really, really nerveracking talking in the language....! I know it'd just seem like the person I'm talking to is talking really fast T.T

[tokirocket]

Yes, you will find out of print manga at Book Off. That's the primary reason to go there. I don't usually spot extremely rare manga there, but I have picked up more than a couple of out-of-print series. I'm sure I've seen original run Sailormoon volumes there before. It is worth the look.

[AgentYlime]

Thanks!

[XthreeXdaysXgraceX12]

would Kamichma Karin be an okay book to start out with?

[tokirocket]

Sure. Kamichama will have a little more slang than the books I suggested, but it should be ok.

[supergirlnano]

You can buy japanese manga in Japan Town, San Francisco, Ca. There's a kinokinya store there in the japan town mall.

[xXLovelessxLifeXx]

I love your videos. They are totally helpful. (Like when I came across some manga in original Japanese at the local discount book warehouse, your video on print number totally helped me get first printings of some of the Death Note manga. <3)

And you are sooooo lucky to live in an area that has so much manga!

I swear if I ever saw that much manga at one time I would never leave. XD

[xXLovelessxLifeXx]

And do you reccomend any books to learn Japanese? I bought one book, but it only teaches a few phrases in romanji. >>

[MizuTakishima]

Thank you so much for making both these videos! I watch anime both raw and subbed, and I'm starting to be able to understand some random phrases without subs- but when it comes to the written language I'm still clueless XD I'm gonna try to learn by doing what you suggested, thank you so much!! =3 (Also I LOVED that shot of all those manga..!)

[hallowarum]

emmmm....germany? xD

[vPikachuv]

no.

there aren't kinokuniya book stores in the U.K.

which sucks.

[MissHarada]

Thank you very much for all of this information it has helped alot!

ZOMG!!!! MANGA!!! O.O

THE IS A $#&% LOAD OF MANGA!! MOST I HAVE SEEN IN ONE PLACE AT ONE TIME!!

I almost died when i saw 25 shelfs full, but that is amazing!!

It's rubbish living in the UK we don't get as many, although some places are getting better. I love eBay and Amazon there my bestist friends for Manga!

[tokirocket]

and that is just ONE of their aisle lol, there's many more. Maybe next time I'll try to do a walk through to show the full amount of manga they have there. :D yaay

[MissHarada]

Heh heh heh your soooo lucky!!

I would just die and go to manga heaven if i went there ^^

I'd love to see a walk through that would be so cool, if they don't mind you doing it and you have the time =D

[StevePisani]

thanks once again ure d best

[tokirocket]

welcome! :D

[dableutyef]

lol that isle has like 10 times more manga in it than the biggest comic shop in melbourne >.>
