   I haven't visited in few months and was surprised to see that the English    
   manga section has expanded a lot since my last visit.  I don't know if this    
   is due to higher demands for such manga as San Francisco used to have Barnes    
   and Noble and Border that sold translated manga years ago and no other    
   bookstores currently stock such items.   
      
   Unfortunately, this also means that they are carrying less of Japanese    
   manga.  They no longer carry those digest-size books that are 300 to 400   
   pages each and haven't for few years now.   
      
   I recall Kinokuniya in San Jose even carrying manga in Chinese.  (The    
   Chinatown branch of the SFPL carries a lot of Chinese manga.)
