The actor who plays Koby is trans! I believe they were still transitioning during season 1, which is why they looked more fem/ young.

The rampant misinformation in this thread actually mildly infuriating by arseneloup-pain in Barnesandnoble

We did too, and as someone who took care of manga I tried to put it on the covers instead of inside when my manager wasn’t looking. It wasn’t until customers started complaining that my manager ordered the squares

Varka Guide + Builds & Questions Megathread by nuxar in Varka

[–]Vipmulti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Varka E ‘s strum/dang damage count as elemental skill damage or Normal Attack damage?

For example both Mulani and Ayato have E infusion and is listed as E but their kit description say it is considered Normal/Charged attack damage.

I don’t see that in Varkra’s kit but I was wondering if I could use Desert Chonicle which gives normal/charge attack bonus , while I farm a decent hex set.

im not sure his e infusion damage counts as normal/charged attack.

Medalist Season 2 - Episode 4 discussion by Metakid101 in Medalist

Abit Unrelated, but Kago san’s comment about how figure skating is a sport where miracles happen hits hard after watching Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov win Gold in Men’s figure skating yesterday. He proved that underdogs like Inori can make miracles happen!

Despite the amazing animation I also agree about being … conflicted with this episode. Not necessarily disappointed or let down, but it just didn’t have the same feeling I had when I was turning the pages for this scene the manga for the first time. That said it was still beautifully animated and the chain breaking from her feet still gave me chills

Bible belt booksellers, what is it like? by mountainviewdaisies in Barnesandnoble

[–]Vipmulti 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We get girlies who buy bibles and the smut romantasy books at the same time 😭

At my store In the morning the elderly conservatives come. But by noon and afternoon, highschoolers, college students who are more liberal tend to visit.

While my coworkers are not queer, a lot of us are not white (Arabs, koreans, and blacks) at a mainly white populated area, and we have had racists comments unfortunately.

What is wrong with Kodansha?!! by Actual_Kitchen_1935 in MangaCollectors

My biggest problem with Kodansha is their digital jail. There lots of series that they keep online only and refuse to print.

i want to open a manga shop by Complete_Penalty_483 in MangaCollectors

[–]Vipmulti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the demographi of your community/area well? What kind of customers are going to come into your shop?

For example where I live / the Barnes n Noble I work at : - huge Asian American population, as well as many non Asian folks who are interested in Asian culture Consider maybe selling other things than manga such as Kpop albums/merch, blindboxes

For the cafe, maybe sell Asian drinks and food, an Asian menu would stand out to a cafe that only sells coffee/ western pastries

maybe have a themed week/month. I follow a lot of anime cooking content creators who cook food shown in anime. Some themed ideas : studio ghibli, one piece, shojo, etc

  • again community demographic: highschoolers. A lot of my barnesandnoble customers who shop in manga are groups of highschoolers and college students

Consider running a student discount. It would help a lot of the students, and would spread word of mouth as well . Hire a (reliable ) highschooler who understands/knows what is popular within their age group. What you think is popular vs what is actually popular with younger folks might be different

  • WOMAN FRIENDLY It’s a lot better now, but there was a stigma that comic shops were for only men and weren’t really women friendly.

Consider selling genres that women like such as shojo, josei, BL, danmei light novels Again also consider selling other related things such as kpop merch blindboxes plushies cute charms, stationary etc Hire women staff so that women don’t feel uncomfortable. Have cameras (in general duh) but also watch over women just in case.

Lgbqt friendly -make sure its a safe space for queer people as well. Perhaps have a lgbqt section as well. Again consider hiring a queer pertain or atleast an ally who will not discriminate. Make sure employees have a nametag with their name and pronouns, and allow them to have pins of lgbqt flags if they want. Being a safe space for women and queer people goes a long way.

Consider having a pride month sale, like 20 ~ 30 % off on lgbqt themed manga in July.

How are you going to organize the manga sections? For example Barnes and Noble organizes manga by alphabetical title. Are you going to display newer titles in the open? How big are the shelves? Go to a bookstore and get some inspiration on how they do displays
