GROUND RULES
1. We reserve the right to refuse sale of any item to any customer for any reason.
2. We will probably not do this, but you’d be amazed at the number of people who insist that certain things are on sale when they’re clearly not, so yeah, rule #1 (“no, the original art is not 50% off”.). Honestly, none of us can remember having to do this. We’re good people, deep, deep down. Deep.
3. Out-of-print items (books/comics/etc.) are exempt to sale pricing.
4. Anything put on hold prior to Boxing Day is entirely exempt to sale pricing.
5. Sales cannot be combined with other specials or sales.
6. “Regular Price” is determined as ‘Whatever the book would sell for not on Boxing Day,’ whether that’s U.S. Cover Price, Converted Canadian Cover price, Canadian Cover Price, or Sticker Price.
7. Items released in December 2010 or later are not eligible for sale. Determination for eligibility will be made at the cash register, at our sole discretion.
8. You know what’s not discounted? 5c plastic bags. Please remember to bring your own reusable shopping bags.

Nana is an amazing shoujo/josei series, and we want people to check it out! It’s about two very different women named Nana that live in Tokyo, and what happens when their lives intersect.

HYDE + CLOSER Volume 1 – $5 (Regularly $9.99): “With his teddy bear Hyde as his main protector and teacher, Shunpei must learn how to gain confidence in himself and use the magic that he has inherited to battle the dark forces that now threaten him!”
OH, MY GODDESS! Volume 1 (New Edition) – $5 (Regularly $10.95): The beloved manga series that more-or-less started the harem comedy genre was released a few years back in a handsome new right-to-left edition, and now it can be yours for 5 bucks!
KEDAMONO DAMONO Volume 1 – $5 (Regularly $9.99): This one is so manga it hurts. Basically it’s a love triangle between an immature girl, a total jerk boy, and hardcore pervert that’s a boy by day and a girl by night. It’s fabulous.
