Best Manga Shops In Kansas City Near Me

Jeromy Magee: Been shopping here for years. Great place for new and back issue comics. Great staff! Great selection! If you have something that you're looking for specifically, don't be afraid to ask. If they can't find it, no one can.

Ryan Hood: Good shop, better organized than most. Sometimes a little unreliable on the pull-list.

MrB MrB: Great selection of old and new comics.

Seth Norris: This store seems to think a lot of itself. All of the used comics that are not bag and boarded are full original retail price no matter the condition. Dog ear corner, too bad full price. Rusted staples, too bad full price. Creased cover, too bad full price. Missing a corner, too bad full price. All of the sought-after after covers that I saw were the highest end of the price spectrum no matter what the condition was. At least they are consistent with their business model.

Abe: Great Owner. Great selection. Got some great comics and a great conversation with the owner.

Gina Franco: They have a no return policy. So make sure it’s what you really want. My son bought a $65 comic and I was upset he spent so much on 1 book since he doesn’t have a lot of money. I’m trying to teach him the value of a dollar and to make it stretch. Lesson learned here. To the owners response: What kid notices a return policy sign and he wasn’t told of a return policy probably because he is a kid and you wanted his money. I’m not just interested in money I’m concerned how he spends his since he has so little of it only being able to work one day a week. He just spent 2 of his paychecks on a book he won’t finish reading. It was an impulsive buy. I told you I know my son and if he hasn’t finished reading the 1000+ pages books he got a year ago that he had to have he won’t finish this one. Don’t act like you know my son when you don’t. Oh and I looked up this book and found it way cheaper online at target, Walmart and Amazon wish my son would have done his homework first. He is very upset now knowing that he could have saved $20 and bought it somewhere cheaper. Like I said before lesson learned. So people please do your homework first before letting your kids being taken advantage of and ripped off at this store just to make a buck off of an innocent kid who is just learning the value of a dollar from his hard work earning it.

Michael Baker: Great shop. I always enjoy talking comics with the staff, going through back issues, and finding something new for the collection.

ninjapat66: Went in to buy some comics at the time & the young lady told they didn't have what I was looking for & if they did I couldn't buy it from them so I said thank you & left.

Mephi (Konchu): I go here all the time to get my monthly comic. They are always welcoming and have so many other comics I love to just look at! They also have a subscription service!

Lieve Roosa: Everyone who works there has been over the top helpful, they’ve been wonderful! Every time I visit it’s been a pleasure

Ethan Rosa: The older guy who works here (not Frank) is really rude and offputting. All he ever does is complain about new comics, specifically about their diversity. I never feel comfortable or welcome in this location

david webster: Great selection comics and other material. They will order it for you too

Derick Duckworth: Great shop, they are really knowledgeable, and they have a huge selection of comics ranging from the (1950's- to present day) definitely worth checking out to support local businesses!

Jaeden Anderson: Friendly staff and knowledgeable about the series you are looking for!

Chris LaCour: Best Shop around here.

Ryan Kulke: Great staff and selection.

Rhonda McCray: I thought the bookstore was pretty organized; however, diversity of reading material is encouraged. Other than a very small urban section they have very few Black authors, used or new. The staff was friendly, however, the atmosphere feels like a period of the past.

Stacy Orefice: My favorite place to buy books

Tanner Marston: This place is an adventure. Any book imaginable it seems. Board games, crafts, stuffed animals of the unique variety. Even a hot selection of video games. Honestly this was a great experience. Hey do you remember that amazing book smell. Yea. Go visit and get a book for once. Reading makes you smarter fools. No one reads anything aside from when your scrolling. Get a book!!!

Ethan Reich: Good selection and ok prices. Not a bad book shop

Renée Blanche: I was reminded of a time before computers and the internet. It was a visual adventure of a time too long ago for me which is why my plan is to help keep the shelves stocked with my household overages that make Half Price Books a fun space to peruse. Plus the staff was professional and friendly. It was a great experience.

Sarah Meyer: Always clean and well stocked with friendly staff

Garrett Keaton: One of my favorite places to go.

Benno Landfair: Always clean and organized.

JHARRIS: I was shopping online for books and got the idea to check locally for used books. I knew of this place but never checked it out. I'm glad I did. I found the books I was looking for and they were in new condition. If I had ordered online I would have paid 3 times as much as I'd paid at this store. I'm making this my go-to store for books.

Teresa Payne: To packed together, hard to see everything!

JC Gray: Love Back in Time! The nostalgia factor is on 11 when you walk in the door. You can find just about anything from Hot Wheels to Star Wars and everything in between. Great selection of comics as well.

Chad Barry: Excellent store with a variety of vintage and current collectibles. Highly recommended!

andy robinson: Sean and Lisa are awesome! They have the best vintage toys and comics for anyone to enjoy. I could just spend hours and hours looking through all their inventory. When I'm in town this is a MUST STOP!!! This isn't just your normal toy/comic store....it is clean and easy to look around (most stores like this are cluttered and dirty) and they can point you to exactly what you came in for. I can't wait until I'm back in KC to see what new items. they have. I would suggest their Facebook, they post all new items when they receive them.

Paul Vang: Great selection of retro figures but be ready to spend some money.

Amy Backes: Such a fun store! Sean and Lisa are fantastic and have helped me find the perfect gift on several occasions. This was also my go-to spot for comics as I worked on collecting early Dr. Strange. Great shop, you should definitely check it out!

d3tach4blejesus: Been here a few times and these people are great on their prices and selection of toys and comics. Was looking for a certain gijoe figure 2 years ago and they luckily had one in stock. Owner was super helpful and held it back for me. Great people and will continue to do business with them any chance I get

Adam Cromer: Back In Time is just the best toy vendor I’ve ever dealt with. When I decided to refocus my collection and free up space I knew Sean was the man to contact.He was polite, professional and incredibly transparent with his purchase pricing.If you’re looking for somebody who will respect you, your time and your collection then look no further!It’s so hard to find reputable and honest people to do business with, so I make sure to advocate for the ones that meet the criteria- BiT def meets it and then some ☺️

Charles Morris: Always nice and friendly

Andrew Baltes: Purchased a Teddy Ruxbin at a very fair price. I had always wanted one. Great selection of vintage toys. Very reasonable prices. Knowledgeable staff. My absolute favorite is the wide selection of Masters of the Universe figures. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Courtney Gilbert: Are you a child from the 70s, 80s, early 90s? They will take you on a walk down memory lane. A must stop for collectors or to recovery that favorite toy from your childhood!

Nathan Sandy: Have always enjoyed going to this place, always leaving like four books

Monica Chao: Compared to other Barnes & Nobles stores, this one is not convenient, and not very user friendly.

BX Girl: The registers didn't work they were malfunctioning and we had to ask for the bathrooms to be cleaned and tp so we could use the bathroom while we were there

yeraldin cox: It's a huge library. My husband, my kids and I love it.

Jokesama: The building was well organized, and everything was displayed beautifully.

Gregory Ramirez: The place to go if you need books, magazines, games, movies or music. This location is unique, w several different levels, each w own theme. Starbucks is also here. You can grab a coffee and browse whatever your heart desires.

Jessica Johnson: My 10 year old loves anime and manga. We went here and the staff were very cool and helpful

chris “rotary” newton: Great experience overall. Lots of backlog issues. Good selection of new comics and graphic novels. Will be doing more business here for sure.

Myron Love: Great friendly place... salesman CJ was very helpful of finding me a gift for a friend

Mike: C.J. was extremely helpful and located some specific comics for a gift idea I had. He made some helpful recommendations and listened to what I had to say. It's easy to get overwhelmed heading into a comic shop, but he made the process enjoyable and fun. I will be back!

Harlan & Megan Breedlove: I love that this location is so close and is well stocked and got everything I needed.

Rebecca Tilden: The price for comic book sleeves were double the amount that every other comic book store around them were selling them for!

Valpirio Monteiro: Especialista em Comics dos anos 1980 e 1990, com raridades dos anos 1950 e 1960. Acervo incrível.

Annie in KC: Best collectible comic shop ever. Lots of vintage comics.

Emily: Very friendly and helpful staff! also good selection of different kinds of comics! ♡

Samuel Ryan: Went in the store to just look around, the selection of comics was great and the customer service was even better. I asked the worker what he suggested to a new comic book reader, he was very engaging and energetic to show me a great selection of comics.

Nathan Duvall: The first thing I look for when I go into a comic store is the back issues. They have a ton which is good but they were not bagged and boarded which is a negative for me. I know it costs extra and is time consuming but it makes the store and comics look more appealing and of course it keeps the books nice and safe. They had some older grail books which were nice to see but I didn't spend much time looking through the back issues. They did have a good selection of new issues.

SillySpice01: Great selection and friendly staff

Michael Williams: Great selection and they are wonderful to buy from.

Chris Price: Really lovely selection of older and new comics.

Meme FODDER: Comics!

Ethan Rosa: Meh. Great selection at convention prices. Frank, if you’re reading this please catch up and stop using overstreet or whatever you’re using to price books. Most of them are wayyyyy over market value.Employees aren’t particularly nice or mean.

KC Jedi: Great store and selection

Todd O'Brien: Nice selection of backstock.

Thomas: Very disappointed in this place. We need more good comic book shops around here. Poor selection here with nothing much to interest me. The one employee working would not acknowledge me while I was standing in front of the register with a book in my hand. I started waving and saying "hi" and she looked at me confused. After she slowly walked to the register, I had to pay cash to avoid card fees. The one good thing I can say she wore her mask correctly the entire time I was in the store.

Max Taylor: Awesome book shop with a vintage flair. Owner is super friendly. Wife traded a whole bunch of her already read books and picked up some new ones. Nice to see places like this still exist.

ana rivera: Super cool place to visit. 3 floors full of all kind of books, I love the basement floor, they have solace for you to sit and enjoy a book. Cool decorations that accent the place. Third floor have has a nice view. And also has a psychics that reads your hand if you are into those things. Overall super cool place.

Justin Stawarz: This is the best book store there is. Three stories of floor to ceiling books. You never know what you'll find and it changes every day. They give great rates on trade ins and the owners are very knowledgeable and friendly. They're a KC institution, heavily invested in their community. You're not likely to find book sellers like this anywhere else.

Ana O.: Amazing 3-story boom store! I was overwhelmed with so many books! I loved all the messages written and the creaks made from ppl walking on the main floor. Good priced books.

David Goode: It's a fun book shop experience.

Kelsey DeHart: Wonderful store and very cool to look through but the children’s section left much to be desired.

Daniel Langston (DaOneEyedBear): Really cheap prices, they sell & trade, also have $1 paperbacks outside the place, not bad. Good place to come and chill/read as well. Three floors of used books, comics, CDS, and movies!

REDPILL ALPHA: Great places for books

A. Williams: I love going here! Plenty of little nooks to sit and check out their books. If you can't find something, just ask! The staff is super friendly.

Elizabeth Herrman: Possibly the best and most enjoyable book store I have ever been to. The art is reason enough to go anytime!

c: Was a cool book store definitely would stop and give yourself time to look around

Melissa Klaassen: Always an adventure to visit this bookstore.

Mg 0: Go here. They even have books in French (top storey).

Steven Haynes: Great place nice people

Mitch Ayers: 39th street staple.

Corrigan Drews: Amazing spot to wander and find a Book or sit and read. Go and explore.

Halev Idiomas: Lovely little bookstore. Found lots of interesting and out of print books. Ended up spending about 60 bucks and walked out with five books and a 9 dollar VHS. Pricing on the VHS was a bit extreme, but all in all a great visit.Downstairs was fantastic; I'll be back the next time I'm in the area to spend more!

Dovie Penn: My favorite book store.

H Summer: Poor customer service and didn't have what i was looking for..ended up disappointed about the drive too for nothing.. And This IS WHY WE AMAZON!

Daniel Green: I love the kids games area in this store, great to be able to walk through a store and look at things for real instead of scroll through Amazon on a screen

Steve Wilson: I'm glad to still have this option. Book stores seem to be disappearing

Crazy Droid: Very sad customer service, this store apparently does not care for their sales. Rude employees who kick you out as soon as it hits 9 pm and don’t even want you to buy anything from them just cuz they are closed. Item has two different tags with two different prices which is ridicules and employee rude about it. First and LAST time I visited this store.

Steve P: A wonderful location and options to choose from.

Katie Moore: I love a good bookstore! Not enough of them left. I try to stop by whenever I can and pick up books for my family.

Bill H: Couldn't find anyone to ask questions. No one working upstairs in the kids section. Had to find someone to take our money at the main register. Very poor customer service

James Roberts: Great place to buy, browse, read and drink coffee.

Jeff Templeton: Very helpful ay checkout but disappointed in the cafe everything i asked for they were out of.

De W: The store always looks nice and staff are always friendly. Almost everything is pretty expensive, but they usually have some good sales. We found some items at 50% off and or more.

Deborah Peek: Did not purchase the four items. No register opened at rear entrance by handicap parking...no cut out ramp at that entrance either......sad

Samantha Spicer: My favorite place to be!!!

Joey Donut: Barnes and Noble is a well-known bookstore chain that has been around for decades. As someone who is an avid reader, I have visited many Barnes and Noble stores over the years. While I have always found the staff to be incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, I have to say that their romance selection is lacking when it comes to heat.The staff at Barnes and Noble are always willing to offer recommendations and help customers find the perfect book for their needs. They are knowledgeable about the latest releases and can often offer insights and recommendations that you won't find anywhere else. However, when it comes to their romance section, I have found that the selection is lacking in steamy and passionate reads.While Barnes and Noble has a large selection of romance novels, I have found that many of them are more on the sweet and gentle side. While these books can be enjoyable in their own right, sometimes you just want a book that will make your heart race and your palms sweat. Unfortunately, the selection at Barnes and Noble often lacks these more intense and steamy reads.It's not that Barnes and Noble doesn't have any romance novels that are passionate and steamy - they certainly do. However, I have found that the selection is often limited and not as diverse as I would like. There are certainly some great books to be found in the romance section, but if you're looking for something with a little more heat, you may need to look elsewhere.That being said, there are still many reasons to visit Barnes and Noble. In addition to their knowledgeable staff, they have a wide selection of books in a variety of genres. Whether you're looking for the latest bestseller or an obscure indie title, you're sure to find something that interests you at Barnes and Noble.Additionally, Barnes and Noble often hosts author events and book signings, which can be a great way to meet your favorite writers and get a personalized copy of their latest book. These events are often well-attended and can be a great opportunity to connect with other readers in your community.In conclusion, while Barnes and Noble is a great place to shop for books in general, their romance selection does lack the heat that many readers are looking for. While there are certainly some passionate and steamy reads to be found, the selection is often limited and not as diverse as one would hope. However, the knowledgeable staff and wide selection of books in other genres make Barnes and Noble a great destination for book lovers.

Andre: Great selection

Amela Parks: Awesome place.

Birgit Post: So happy to visit Barnes and Noble in Zona Rosa. Great choices, welcoming place, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

CrowsMob: The staff that deals with the books are nice, with a few exceptions.The Starbucks people however are just rude. There was a line that was standing around for 7 minutes, when I saw that I asked a staff member if the Starbucks was closed. She literally sighed out loud and slowly walked over behind the counter. Then while taking orders she was very rude and messed up 2 drinks in a row. After that I decided not to get the Starbucks and just finish my shopping.

Randall Paul: We were looking for young children's books and a sales associate was VERY helpful and courteous. Found a great selection and were very pleased. Thank you so much!

Donald Wall: Wonderful coffees and every kind of book, magazine you could want.

Cory Spainhour: Old good stuff.

Zoriko -: Great place if your interested in things such as anime, games, consoles, cards, comics, and more

Connie Stranko: Wonderful place

Jackson Erwin III: PREDOMINANTLY QUITE USEFUL IN SOME MANNERS AND PURPOSES...

Jose De La Cruz: Great collection of vintage items and newer games, consoles, comic books, mangas and a bunch of more cool stuff!

Austin Deceder: I recently was quoted for large sum of Magic bulk, after getting approval from a District Manager I was told to bring in the product. Cards would be quoted in flat rates of .50/100 cards agnostic of rarity, value, ect., I was reassured this repeatedly. I confirm the quote 2 more times before I bring in 200k+ Magic cards a few hours later and receive a completely different quote after another call to the district manager. The employee who previously quoted me then proceeded to gaslight me, apologizing that I was "under the assumption" that she said that. Any time she would reach back out to the district manager to clear up this discrepancy, she'd make a point to walk to the other side of the store to avoid me hearing the skewed narrative she was attempting to portray. From what i heard in pieces she was completely innaccurate about the contents of my product. 0 accountability. I wasted an entire afternoon on these people only for them to backpedal and re-quote me a number that was only barely over 10% of what was initially offered. I was blatently mislead , Absolutely ridiculous behavior. Do not sell here if you value your time.

De W: We always have a good experience here and find some great items. My son is really into vintage gaming systems and we're able to find most of what we need there.

Chris Price: Super friendly staff. Very helpful. If I could give 10 stars I would! Dean, Abby, and the while crew have become a weekly visit for comics and figures. They have everything ready for me as soon as I walk in and the conversations are always awesome and have me leaving with a smile on my face.

Halev Idiomas: Just a bunch of filler junk. Was not impressed with this location, did not have any books, just dvds, comics, and Funko pop junk. My friend was happy with the selection, but I felt a lot was overpriced and not worth the stop in.Probably won't be back, but employees were welcoming and kind. Just not my kind of store. I really wanted to browse books.

John Marshall: Vintage stock is more than a comic shop. They carry vinyl albums, classic DVDs, and so much more. Highly recommend checking them out.

Nimesh Tripathi: I like this place because they have better collection and variety compared to other similar business.

Russell Primeaux: Never know what to expect at this treasure trove.

LzyBoyCouch: I've been in two times recently and both times I was completely ignored. Nobody even bothered to say hello. And I knew what I wanted and was ready to buy. After 5+ minutes of nobody bothering to talk to me I start price checking the yugioh displays only to find out they have heavy mark ups. You've missed two opportunities to make some good money off of me but there won't be a third. Go somehwere else for your tcg people.

R Starling: Great place to take your family, with some great new and old school selections. Wish it was a bit more updated and organized, but it almost makes for an even more nostalgic experience. Overall, my son and I will definitely be back for more experiences at this location.

William Craig: Cluttered prices are high

Alyssa Grissom: Great selection but poor customer service. Staff were rude when answering a question and apathetic demeanor. Also did not take sale stickers off of items no longer on sale, making checkout confusing.

Elizabeth Vega: Found what we were looking for 2 of our granddaughters for Christmas. They are very happy so we are. 🤩 Prices were reasonable too!

Kimberly A: The poster display needs help, very random. The clerks don't seem to know or have access to what is in inventory. Makes it hard to find what you're looking for. Random

Kevin Edgar: Great prices. Staff is very knowledgeable.

Sheaffer Haines: Not cool
