Great selection of Manga! I have found quite a few new series to read as I look around. I love that they have a local artist section too. It’s nice to support local artists and also an independent bookstore too. I wish we lived closer, we would come to the fun looking events they have.

I could spend all day in this bookstore! The vibes are immaculate and I can always find something for my son, who is super into D&D and manga right now. They’ve got tons of graphic novels as well, which is essential for our school library. Big props to Don and the whole crew for always being so welcoming and helpful. Whenever I visit, I know I’ll be leaving with something unique.

What a cool shop! We were looking for a gift - any manga from My Hero Academia, Hazbin Hotel or Studio Ghibli - and they had all three. the clerk showed us exactly where the items for purchase were. They were sure to tell us that the book we selected was a spinoff of the original series in case we really needed the original, which they also carried. The "curiosities" include calendars, games, puzzles, journals, stickers, pins, zines, local prints, etc. They have hot tea at the entrance and a lower level with a reading area.

Absolutely incredible. Great selection, tons of anime, comic books, board games, collectibles and art. Basement has a large space for players to open up games. Lots of very cute gift ideas from local artists, too. Store is clean, and very well setup esthetically, and the shop keepers are extremely knowledgeable. 11/10 highly recommend!

An absolutely wonderful place! The manga selection was extensive, the book selection was smaller but well-curated, and the lower floor was great, featuring board games, TTRPGs, and local art! I can tell that the owner cares about their community. Between a lovely mutual aid shelf, just about every book display including minority voices and perspectives, and the sheer kindness of the employees I spoke to, I think this might be the best bookstore in Chicago.
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
