You guys have comicbook stores over there, right? Those are usually good places. I don't know what bookstores are in the UK though. I know a couple of people from across the pond, and they seem to have no trouble getting manga, even older ones, so there probobly are places over there with good selections.

This may help:

Thus those are not the only places where to buy mangas. Probably, the Forbidden Planet International stores are the best places to go. There's usually one in every (more or less) important city. If you could tell which city/zone, maybe it should be more useful.

Anyways, it's obvius that the best places are in London. And if you go there, don't forget to visit the Japan Centre. Really cool.

Yeah Forbidden Planet is very good.I have recentely moved from Milton Keynes to Nottingham for University and there is one up here. It has a health selection of Manga.Amazon.co.uk is also good and you can always import from amazon.com.

Sorry for doing this, but I have to plug my own Web site. http://www.comicreaders.com/catalog sells manga online and we've shipped to the UK on a few occassion. The shipping is going to cost you a bit for than some of the other places mentioned in this thread, but keep us in mind if you can't find what you're looking for at other online stores.
