Local tips

  • Visit during afternoon hours (18:00-20:30) on weekdays when the shop is less crowded, allowing more time to browse and chat with the knowledgeable owner about specific titles or recommendations.
  • Bring a list of specific titles you're seeking; the owner can often source hard-to-find comics and may have connections to help locate rare editions not currently in stock.
  • Ask about the English-language collection if you're an international visitor—the shop maintains a curated selection of English comics that may not be immediately visible on main displays.
  • Plan for at least 45 minutes to an hour for a meaningful visit; the collection is substantial enough to warrant unhurried exploration, and the owner enjoys discussing comics with interested customers.
