Not only that, but they hooked up an on-the-spot customer recommended graphic novel based on the stack that I purchased. It was a great read on the trip and flight home. Hilarious guys and the owner couldn't be more accommodating. I'm just hoping they ship too - highly recommended!

My guess is the sales did not offset the high rents. It is likely that this Queens location might come under a similar pressure. It is a large store, well-stocked and clean. The service is friendly but I find their knowledge of the inventory is lacking. Their collection of books, especially the Amar Chitra Katha comic books that I was raised on, is quite unique. Unlike with a grocery store, this is an episodic business and customers visit the store infrequently. But if I am in the market for Indian merchandise, I will be sure to check out Butala. An excellent resource for New Yorkers, although I realize the Manhattan location was too good to be sustainable.

Anime Castle in Flushing is a fantastic stop for anime fans, tucked away just outside the main…read moredowntown bustle. True to its name, it's a treasure trove filled from floor to ceiling with manga, figures, and all sorts of collectibles. Once inside, the selection is impressive for the space. They carry a ton of manga at decent prices, and I saw a great range of figures, plushies, and model kits in the back section. For card collectors, they sell trading card game packs at MSRP, including popular series like One Piece. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for something specific or need a gift idea, don't hesitate to ask them. The store is open daily, but hours can vary, with doors typically opening around noon. It's the perfect spot to browse when you're in the area, especially if you're looking for something a bit more specialized than what you'd find in a mainstream store. For a deep dive into anime merch without leaving Queens, Anime Castle is well worth the visit.

I don't know how they fit all those books in the small store! But they do! If you have some time to kill, not a bad idea to stop by and read there too.
