Important Information for Manga Collectors: The Art of the Special Order!
Most bookstores do not stock all our 100+ series. They may not even stock our new series–it really depends on the individual bookstore. Even if you keep returning to a bookstore to check the shelves, you may never find the series you want. Fans have asked me why certain series were discontinued–but it was just that their local bookstores no longer stocked them.
Here’s How Special Orders Work:
1. Call your local bookstore and ask for a “special order” for the manga volumes you want. (You can also ask staff in the store to do this for you. Don’t be shy!) They will search for the titles in their database and order the books in for you. This service is free. You do not have to pay at this point, just give them your name and phone number.
2. The bookstore will call you when your manga has arrived. It will be reserved for you in a special place (not shelved with the other manga). Go up to the cashier and say you have a special order waiting. They will bring your books to you for purchase. Simple!
Let me know in the comments if you’ve used this service for our manga! :3
Other Benefits of Special Orders
*Your manga will not be bent up and pre-read by other people in the store :/
*If you order a series, bookstores will know that series is in demand and may start stocking it in the future so others can discover it
*No more fruitless trips to the bookstore for Shojo Beat manga
*All bookstores have this service, especially indie ones
