NYC is a paradise for anime fans, and these are my top 3 go-to spots for anime merch, manga, and collectibles: Kinokuniya NYC is an essential stop for any anime lover. Located near Bryant Park, it has a massive selection of Japanese and English manga, light novels, and exclusive anime merch. You can find everything from Studio Ghibli plushies to special edition art books. Eggcellent Flushing is a hidden gem in Queens. Unlike its name suggests, it’s not a café but a store packed with anime figures, keychains, plushies, and rare collectibles. If you’re looking for high-quality figures from your favorite series, this is the place to go. BookOff NYC is a treasure trove for budget-friendly anime finds. This secondhand store is full of discounted manga, DVDs, and anime figures. You never know what rare or nostalgic gem you’ll uncover here! These spots keep my anime obsession alive!
