Hey!
I found (at walmart) manga!!!!!! It was heavely discounted! I bought some Tsubasa for 9.50! naruto was 6 bucks!!!! and Full Metal Alchemist was 7.50!!!!! They also had some others, but I forgot what it was. most of the shelves were empty and I saw a guy re stocking it, he said that they were selling so fast, that they've been having to order a shipment every other day!
You should definetly check this out...... its in the books/magazine/word puzzles and game section.

I'm wondering if the manga in wal-mart is on a city to city basis, depending on whether or not there is a larger market for manga. Wal-mart would surely know what is selling, I would assume, but I doubt Texas is a stronghold for it.
Just a passing thought. How I would love anime/manga at cost...

UPDATE!!!!!
I went (again) to walmart and they didn't have any manga. Here is the standard that they must have to stock manga(that i've noticed)
1. It must be a super wally world
2. must be a POPULAR wally world
and 3. must be a semi-new Wally world
hope that helps your search.....................

i don't enter the wal-mart super center here in Pvw because im boycotting them, we don't need a dang supercenter here........enough of that...im not really boycotting them but I always get annoyed by all the foot traffic and the crowding and the rude people argh!
if there was cheapo cheapo manga there i might just brave it through and dash in for a bit just to look

We have a super center, but no manga. Joseph-Beth carries discounted manga, but it is random as to the volume numbers.

We have it at our walmart! I got Kingdom Hearts for $3.98(yeah,yeah, it's not a real manga, etc.) They also had Naruto and Furuba for six bucks, although I didn't buy any of those. The only bad thing is that you don't know if they'll have the volume you want.

I've looked on several occasions for manga in my local Wal-Mart, but I have yet to find any. Still, I'll keep an eye out for it in the future.

Hey I was just at a store called Dollar General recently looking for blank tapes and I found some great deals on some anime they had there. Witch hunter Robin, Silent Mobius, and banner of the stars for 3 bucks were the ones I remember the most. They had several anime I haven't heard of and half a dozen DBZ tapes for 2. I thought it was good deal.

The thing my Wal-Mart has close to manga is an Avatar volume. Other than that, there is none. It'd be awsome if my Wal-Mart would get manga. They had a Naruto DVD recently, Karas: The Prophesy, and Howl's Moving Castle, so maybe that is just the beginning!

Wow, Manga in Walmart? Well, I guess this also has to do with anime in Walmart, too. But that's good.

My walmart has manga. Of course, the volumes are pretty random. I was very tempted to get some FMA but I was able to abstain. Naruto was pretty cheap, only 6 bucks.

Maybe Wal Mart has some manga on their website. I'll check sometime.

Wal Mart's website has FMA dvds, Naruto, manga, and other series as well. Just thought I'd point that out.^^

Wal mart's website also has Bleach manga volumes, Inuyasha DVDs, Inuyasha manga, and Trigun DVDs. Definiley worth checking out.
Also, the DVDs are all about $15 off or so.
