Kinokuniya - Japanese bookstore in downtown L.A.

In Little Tokyo, there's a place called Kinokuniya which is a Japanese bookstore located in a plaza. There's also a Curry House (didn't get a chance to go) and a Marukai (groccery) there as well. Though I didn't buy anything this time, it has a great selection of books. You can buy Japanese cooking books, or those fashion magazines, and there's a huge selection of manga in English and in Japanese.

A wide selection of mangas and all sorts of otaku stuff. It doesn't really interest me though. ^^; but for all you anime/manga fans out there, this is an awesome place.
A bunch of books about anything related to Japan.
They even sell a lot of accessories here too much handtowels and little bags. They even have something called a Porcelain Candle Holder. So elegant. xD
Oh, and they also have a huge selection of CDs and DVDs. I would buy some but... yeah, I already have all of them in digital format. Besides, they mark up the price like $10 man. A 2000 yen CD is around $18 but they're selling it for $28+. Other than the overcharging of CDs, it's still a great place to pick up some reading material. If you don't know Japanese, you'll probably be limited to about half the store since the other half has no English whatsoever.

One last thing you'll notice is that there are A LOT of those American otakus around here hanging in the manga section. Though I don't have anything against them, the things they talk about are a little too... weird. =\
