BOOKOFF Akihabara Eki-mae Store

Tight budget, bargains

Second-hand manga, games, cards and figures at chain prices, next to the station and open until 22:00. Shelves are sorted by publisher and series rather than by title, and complete runs are often boxed as a set.

To know · Licensed tax-free, which most second-hand shops in the district are not.

Trap · Sorting by publisher means you need the publisher, not just the title. Ask staff to point at the right wall rather than walking all of them.
