I’ve only ever once bought them online because it was an edition that was exclusive to this retailer.

Apart from that, I’m always buying locally from the same store, from the nicest Manga selling lady in the world. She’s been running her section in that very store for as long as I can remember, and we get carried away talking about all kinds of things more often than I’d like to admit. That’s why my 5 minutes of “I’m just gonna pick up [whatever] real quick” and generally last about 30 - 45 minutes.
