Otaku Culture Store: Mandarake まんだらけ

A temple of otaku culture

Founded in Tokyo in 1980 by manga artist Masuzou Furukawa, Mandarake is one of the largest brands of second-hand items and collectibles related to anime and manga. Its main store located in the Nakano Broadway shopping center has more than 30 specialty stores. Simply titanic!

What budget should you budget?

 

While very large collectors in search of the rarest coins can shell out several thousand or even hundreds of thousands of yen, an informed buyer can easily spend 5,000 to 10,000 yen (41.90 to 83.80 euros).

If you are just curious wishing to bring a souvenir in your suitcases, a much smaller budget is sufficient (between 500 and 3000 yen or 4.20 to 25 euros).
