To me, this is the best comic book store in Manchester.

The staff are super approachable, knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations which always hit the spot! And because there's also a shop in York I can be sure to find what I'm looking for one place or the other. Friday night MTG is fantastic! Super casual and heaps fun. For sure one of my favourite places to play at and a cracking way to spend Friday night. Show less

8 years agoMy favorite boardgame store in Manchester. They have so many games that I have seen out of stock in other stores! New recently launched Kickstarter games, and a wide offer of RPG books. A must visit for boardgame enthusiasts.

I've only played 40k but this has opened my eyes too some new games and hobbies! Massive shout out to the host Jake and to Aydin, Dan and Reuben for helping a new player like me learn the games I look forward to any future events 👍 Show less

Good selection of games / comics / books which are usually well stocked. Unfortunately, the branch is let down by a certain member of staff working the till. When spending my money in a physical shop (a rarity in this day and age, but I do like to support independent businesses when I can), I do expect some level of professionalism and friendliness. I've just returned after purchasing a book and there was no 'hello', 'please', 'thank you', or 'goodbye'. Just a very brash transaction which made me feel unwelcome. It doesn't cost anything to reciprocate a smile or offer pleasantries to your customers. Looking through the reviews it doesn't look like I'm the first to report this and I don't think I'll be the last sadly. Show less

3 months agoI really like the variety of manga and comic books they've managed to fit into the shop floor, including stuff I'd never heard of. Although I'm from out of town I can tell there is a real sense of community in the shop.

Good store for nerd hobbies but the comic book section is very disorganised and quite small. The store is mostly board games and manga nowadays, but does have some neat collectables.

Nice little store for comics and books, definitely recommend if you're into that stuff. They also have board games and cards and things like that. All in all a cute little shop.

I recently visited travelling man and wanted to share my thoughts on the experience. First off, the store offers an impressive selection of manga and comic books. For any fan of these genres, it's a great place to browse through an extensive range of titles. Whether you're looking for the latest releases or older, hard-to-find editions, there's plenty to choose from, and it’s easy to spend quite some time just getting lost in the selection. However, while the store excels in its collection of manga and comics, I did notice that the selection of light novels is quite small. As a fan of light novels, I was hoping for a bit more variety. Additionally, the light novel section isn't clearly marked, which made it a little difficult to find. Clearer signage or a more organized display would definitely be helpful for those looking specifically for light novels. In terms of the atmosphere, I found it to be okay. It’s neither particularly inviting nor unpleasant, but I couldn’t help but feel that the staff weren’t very approachable. Throughout my visit, the staff seemed more focused on chatting and laughing amongst themselves than interacting with customers. While it's great that they enjoy their work environment, it did make me feel a bit hesitant to ask for help or recommendations. Overall, travelling man is a decent spot for comic and manga lovers, but there’s room for improvement, especially in terms of customer service and the organization of the store. I hope that in the future, the store can offer a more welcoming experience for all visitors. Show less
