I just can't imagine people paying 8-12 dollars for a comic book you can read in one sitting.
I see people doing that here in the combini, just hanging in the back, reading the manga, and this includes adults. I never actually see them buy it. I guess it's the same concept.

That aside, when I was stateside, I usually bought my manga from B&N, but I had a membership discount.
