I love this store so much😭 some things are overpriced and I can find cheaper on AliExpress but still they have a great pen selection and a whole bunch of fun stationery!

Wonderful customer experience. My daughter purchased a manga and had missing pages due to a misprint error. I sent an email with photos to the store and they made it right, even though we live 25 miles away! Great customer service—we’re so happy that we visited and bought a membership to the store!

All kinds of Japanese anime, manga, stationary, little cute things you can get, highly recommended.

#WellCourt is an excellent slice of #eateries #shopping & #living #spaces. So much in a highly condensed area of Little Tokyo, CA. A must see & must visit location of vibrant #urban #living! 👍

One of my favorite bookstores! Lots of rare and imported books from Japanese (and other nationalities) authors that are hard to find at other stores. Many are translated into English as well. Loads of great stationary and pens, fun gifts and workbooks for school.

I love sincere personal comics, and I found a book about ADHD and mental health from a Japanese perspective that I love love love! Come find your new favorite novel or manga!

One note though: many books here are shrink wrapped, so you cannot check out the interior before purchasing. This can make it fun to discover your new favorite book, I think, but just a heads up!

Awesome japanese book store that I visit every time whenever I am in the area. Always end up buying something whenever I visit. Most recently I got a book about anime film director Mamoru Hosoda!

Wonderful place to visit regardless if you are going to buy anything, or not.

To browse around such an awesome selection of Manga, japanese cultured books, and magazines is so neat. Its actually pretty rare nowadays.

On my visit, I was not planning to purchase anything. However, to my surprise I left the store with a purchase. Came across a book that I've been really wanting for sometime: Book of 5 Rings, Miyamoto Musashi. This really made my visit.

5 stars for the overall experience. They did an excellent job with their precautions during the Pandemic as well. Felt safe shopping here. Happy to visit again.

Wonderful store with extremely helpful staff. Books not normally found anywhere else can be found here. If they don't have a book, they are willing to look it up and order it for you. Many art books also have a demo book so you can look at it before buying. They also have pens, notebooks, calligraphy supplies and stickers and knickknacks.
