This is my happy place. I am in love with Zombster.
However if you have no idea what anime or manga is let me quickly explain: anime is the general term for Japanese animation (sometimes dubbed) and manga are the comics/novellas that originated from Japan but have been translated into English but are still read back to front, right to left.
If you're looking for an anime/manga/cute things fix, Zombster is the place to go. Previously situated at Indooroopilly, Zombster has made the awesome move to Toowong literally on my doorstep. It's fate I tell you.
I used to have to look on line for my manga and anime purchases but NO LONGER! a one stop shop with literally everything in it, Zombster is worth a look.
Apart from the awesome array of manga on the shelves, you can also browse the pop-culture apparel (Big Bang Theory Shirts alongside Assassin's Creed Shirts), soft toys from anime series, and figurines and modelling kits. I bought the entire collection of Fruit's Basket (manga) in a box with character profiles for around $110, which is reasonable if you have a look on line and play the comparison game.
The staff are awesome and can talk your ear off about most animes or mangas, or just let you browse. But expect a joke thrown in here or there to break up the silence. If you're not sure what to get ask them for advice because they are more than happy to oblige.
But best of all they have radtastic $2 ball machines out the front where you can get your Pokemon fix. Because everyone needs more Pikachu in their lives. read more
