Great inventory, great staff. Love going in here and browsing, discussing the art and stories with everyone, and getting great recommendations. Had a bad experience here once, later learned it was just a result of someone having a human moment, Mike went above and beyond to make amends and make sure I was welcomed…

We drove up from Cedar Rapids to check this store out. We were impressed with the variety of games, comics, and collectibles! Mike, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth the drive for us. We will be back!

Was there 20 yrs ago. Not so much. Manga anymore but books to be found. No GITS but alot of Sailor Moon stuff. Big figurines and a $44 sailor moon Monopoly :)
