   	I read translated manga sold in places like Nihon Machi,SF   
   or TSRI as well as scanalated manga online.  Some of the stuff I   
   like will never be printed in my remaining life time in the   
   USA so I don feel bad about not paying. If I have the money sometimes   
   I pick up a volume in Japanese by an mangaka I like.  Such as   
   Family Compo which is even re-readable.

   	I am sure some place must. But like I say I donīt get about   
   to the remaining stores, so I cannot give an answer to your question.   
   I generally end up paying that much or more for my translated mangaa   
   but the high sales tax in SF brings it up a bit more.
