Doesn't exist.

At least not here in the US, where they scalp you for 10 dollars a book. Its ridiculous.

Berserk... Although I don't know if they censored/edited it in the Dark Horse version. If they did, then fuck that.

A classic that I would to buy once I have a decent paying job is Akira. First manga I ever read and damn it blew my mind. However, each volume is about half a dictionary and costs around 40-50 bucks. Worth it though.

If you're going to buy manga at Barnes&Nobles, be sure to get the membership card!!!
It gets you 10% off all items in the store, 20% off hard cover, and 40% off best sellers.
That means for every 10 Manga books you buy, you get 1 free. o_o
After buying 20 Manga books, it pays for itself. I buy books other than Manga as well, so it's a pretty good deal for me.

I second this. I love this manga
I have a strange obsession with CLAMP.
I found the anime to be better than the manga series though.
The animated version include MOAR cards and MOAR characters.
And it doesn't have as much lesbianism or teacher x student relationships.
I think.
Crap. I'm gonna have to read/watch them over again...

What I wanted to say was that you should read Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.
It's a spinoff featuring the same characters in a completely different universe.

CLAMP is indeed awesome. And yeah, I enjoyed the anime more than the manga as well. I can't believe I forgot Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles...
