When my hometown library first got manga, they had 3. Not three series. Just three books. It was a dark time.

That's so lucky I never have enough books. I can't afford to buy books. I do have a Kindle but there's just no replacing physical books; the experience can't match up with reading a physical book.

Nice ^_^ I hope to be able to do that someday. There's only one second hand bookstore I know of. All the readers of English books here are educated middle class and elite peeps from the metros so I guess the market is mostly chain bookstores and hasn't expanded much.

My library's got a half decent manga selection, at least, but none of the series they have are current, or even complete. Like, they'll have a bunch of stuff in the middle, but none of the first volumes, and they haven't gotten new additions since I was in high school. I'm not complaining of the fact that a lot of it is Bleach and Inu-Yasha and Fullmetal Alchemist--I love those. But they've only god half the series. And they don't just do that with manga, either. It's annoying.

Or you'd get those awakrd low quality western 'mangas' with the cringy basic drawing style and the obligatory title with 'kawaii' or 'hime' in because theyre the only japanese words the author knows :D

There's nothing you can do its as simple as, that's the reality of public libraries you can't always get stuff as and when you want it. I do think as a library patron you have the responsibility to bring books back on time. But life gets in the way that's an unavoidable reality so handing back a book late in the 21st century really is fine!
