Kinokuniya Bookstore - New Jersey

A great selection of English and Japanese manga and light novels. Great atmosphere and the staff is very polite. Prices are in pay with what you might expect, but you can easily spend 100 on a few books, is you're not careful. Overall, it's a great place to shop for manga.

Kinokuniya New Jersey is one of my favorite places to shop. The employees are genuinely kind and always ready to help — they even guided me to the exact items I was looking for. They have a membership program that gives you great benefits, and it’s perfect for anyone who loves Japanese products. The store is beautifully organized and has a huge selection of Japanese books, magazines, stationery, art supplies, snacks, and cute gift items. I always end up finding something special whenever I visit. Absolutely recommend stopping by!

The prices and variety of media, stationery, and other nicknacks. It's always fun to walk through the store or go in for a new pen or notebook when I need new writing materials. Sometimes the store appears to be short staffed, and sometimes you'll catch someone in a mood, but everyone has bad days so it's understandable. I used to drive about an hour to get to this shopping center for Mitsuwa next door, but now that I live much closer, this store has become more fun since I have the time to explore and look at absolutely everything!

10/10, great selection of anime figures. Also, this store had mystery boxes that are still not yet officially released in the USA. Not overpriced like in NYC. Nice and patient staff.

If you’re purchasing at least $250, it’s worth it to get the yearly membership for $25, for 10% discount.

Sometimes, randomly there would be members week which then gives all members a 20% discount. This is insane value.
