Writing manga stores in China or how to purchase manga in China can be a long charade of work. Firstly, it is sporadic to find the perfect bookstore, and even if you’re able to find a manga bookstore in China, it’s probably in Chinese. So the usual Google method to search for Japanese manga stores in China will not work as it is supposed to be. Secondly, wouldn’t it be better to have a single post listing down places to buy Japanese Manga in China?
