POV Manga Shopping with pals @lyddiemoon & @Himeka_00 ✨ | Forbidden Planet, London UK

Introduction

Shopping for manga can be an exhilarating experience, especially when shared with friends. Just recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Forbidden Planet in London with @lyddiemoon and @Himeka_00. The excitement was palpable as we navigated the aisles, each of us on the hunt for our next favorite read. The energy was infectious as we discovered titles that had piqued our interest prior to this trip.

Upon entering the store, we were immediately drawn to a dazzling collection of manga. "Oh my God, look at this one!" someone exclaimed, pointing to a vibrant cover. With a spreadsheet full of suggested reads, @lyddiemoon had us covered, even if it meant going back and forth between shelves.

We quickly formed a plan to tackle the store, with each of us dividing our attention to keep an eye out for specific titles. From light novels to graphic novels, the selection was impressive. "Have you ever seen this one?" one of us asked, holding up a book from a publisher that had recently caught our collective interest.

As we dove deeper into the stacks, we found ourselves swapping recommendations left and right. "You got to check this out; it's on sale!" @Himeka_00 announced, flaunting a fantastic deal found in the budget section. Volume after volume, our baskets began filling up quickly, filled with titles we eagerly wanted to explore.

"I really need to keep track of what I own," I joked while looking through my own collection list. @lyddiemoon was equally guilty of losing track of her reading haul. "I am trying to avoid breaking the bank here; this hobby can get expensive!"

Our conversation effortlessly shifted from which titles we had to which ones we wanted to read next. At one point, we found ourselves discussing plot lines, favorite genres, and even the thrill of finally getting our hands on long-awaited releases. I even teased @Himeka_00 by suggesting I’d be the one to primarily keep the spreadsheet up to date, as the number of purchases rose with every shelf we visited.

It wasn’t long before the realization hit us: we were dangerously close to spending more than intended. Passersby watched us, some amused, some impressed, as we debated whether to pick up the newest edition of a series both praised and criticized.

As we made our final rounds, we reminisced about our past shopping trips and how they shaped our collections. "We need to remember to come back soon!" I said, as we headed to the checkout, our bags bursting at the seams with manga treasures.

In the end, the time spent with @lyddiemoon and @Himeka_00 was utterly delightful, filled with laughter, joy, and an abundance of new stories waiting to be discovered.
