While Putting Together a Manga Order,

Posted by Dorian in manga, retail

As I still do for the comic shop I used to work at, as no one currently employed there knows about manga, it suddenly struck me: “I used to think there weren’t enough gay comics coming out. Now it’s almost as if the manga shelves are drowning in yaoi…

“Still outnumbered by panty-flashing fan service books, though.”

Any comment containing a variation of "you forgot" or "uhm, actually" will be deleted and your ISP will go to the comment black-list.

Feel free to reblog pictures on your Tumblr, but would it kill you to make sure to at least add a "via" link back to the original?

If, God forbid, you spot a typo, the "contact" button is right up there and you can e-mail me about it, instead of complaining about it in the comments.
