And underneath the stadium, behind Namba station, close to the Hard Rock cafe, was one of the 2 best used manga shops in the whole city. The place was a mini-mall of at least 8 or 10 small used manga dealers all sharing 1 very large space, and each had their own little subsection. They often had complete sets of used manga series on sale for a great price. It was always my first stop after arriving in Namba station.
I was sad to hear that the stadium was torn down, since that means the manga shop is gone too. I wonder if they all closed down or if some or all of them moved to new locations?
