A few weeks ago, I had linked to a site about manga trading. I lamented that I would rather get rid of my manga rather than accumulate more. I never did sign up for that service. I still might.

Out in Japan, they have manga rental places. These rental places are a good idea... I would happily rent manga at a place that specializes in manga, because I would get a big selection of the stuff, picking and choosing the ones I want to read and the ones I want to explore. I can try before buying, and I can try all different genres. And it's better than a bookstore because it does specialize in only manga.

I think in the US they would call this a library.
