I think that it is fine to read the book at the store. The only issue i have with this is that when others go to buy a book it looks used. The staff are unlikely to comment even if they catch on as I am sure many have thought of doing it themselves.

Another alternative is to read them online. This is the way I prefer to read them. There are many good sites that you can use to read manga online. There are two options, one is websites that you must download the manga to read, the other is websites were you can read without download.

The best websites to use if you do not wish to download are:

If you wish to download the manga you can download it from:

I’m not really sure of other websites to download from as i prefer to read online because i **** waiting for the manga to download.

Hope this helped, enjoy reading manga!

I guess you could. But you might as well read them online at .

It has over 100 main stream series including all the Naruto, Bleach, and Claymore you can handle. It’s update on a weekly basis with the latest Mangas with English translations.

Browsing the books are fine but remember that other people may buy the book after you so make sure you don’t bend the pages back or damage it as it’s really annoying. i work in a bookstore and whilst yes its fine for you to browse a selection of books its really rude and irritating when people come in and just read. my manager makes us move people along and its really rather embarassing. also going in everyday will make the people that work there suspicious, in my branch people have been banned which is a bit far, as long as the shops are relatively quiet there shouldn’t be much of a problem…maybe if the library is out of manga books to read this could be the chance to branch out and try something new!!

just go and smell one
although i would say kind of papery and old

There’s a distinctive smell in the book store.New books have this ‘just off the press’,synthetic smell,not unpleasant at all,a refined plastic aroma that comes from the cover.It’s a weirdly fresh smell,a ‘new’ smell,far removed from the dust and must of faded,browning volumes of years gone by..
The smell promises crispness.You know that even before picking up a volume.You can be assured that the smell itself guarantees a clinical whiteness as soon as you peek inside.Pasteurised,purified from the printing press,unblemished and unturned;each page a testament to the modern process that gives off this factory fresh fragrance that is-and only can be-associated with a newly published book,hot off the press but like a dish from the oven,cooling now and with a salivating seduction that is begging you to browse and then buy
