Bookshops specializing in comics Brittany

It is always with a great pleasure that we stroll in the middle of the bins and the shelves of this bookshop which constitutes the biggest collection of comics in Brittany. The parquet floor creaks under each of our steps and the abundance of works which surrounds us gives dizziness. To orientate us, the store has just set up a new signposting. We can easily spot the new releases, the comics, the SF section, the classics, the children's comics, the merchandising, but there is nothing better than the advice of the booksellers to transport you into exciting stories and to give you their favorites. Follow the news on the networks to note the dates of the meetings and dedications.

Located just a hundred meters from the TNB, Ty Bull... Tome 2 is one of the best comic book shops in Rennes, with well-stocked shelves covering all genres. A book section(heroic fantasy, thrillers) has even been developed. The bookshop also sells goodies, figurines, posters, T-shirts, etc. It's a place where you can talk to the booksellers and other customers, exchange tips and share your love of sequential art. The bookshop underwent a facelift in 2023 with the collaboration of an ironmonger. The result: a more airy, luminous space in water-green tones that make you want to stay even longer.

Manga fans will be filled with Japanim, a Breton chain of bookshops specialized exclusively in mangas and other Asian comics (20 th Century Boys, Brothers, Naruto, YuGiOh, Cantarella…). There are also artbooks, VHS and DVD animations as well as goodies. Japanim applies the 5% discount granted by the Lang Act on all items through a loyalty card.

Specialist in comics for 20 years now, Excalibulle offers a wide selection of comics. In this shop, located near the Place de la Liberté, you can find many classics, legends and myths but also the new ones of the moment. The shop also offers posters as well as a large choice of figurines for collectors. For the fans or the simple curious, the bookshop regularly organizes dedications of authors. Do not hesitate to consult the website of the shop to follow the last news.

Located in the heart of Vannes, the Au Jardin des Bulles bookshop invites you to escape through a vast selection of comic books, graphic novels and illustrated books, with a focus on the imaginations of young and old alike. Dynamic and passionate about his profession, Michel is committed to bringing his store to life with a wide range of events (book signings, conferences, meetings with authors and illustrators), and takes part in numerous Morbihan book fairs. Note that since 2023, you can find the bookshop's FB channel.

Comics, manga, comics, you will have in this bookshop a choice of quality and excellent advice. Céline and Aurélien have been making people happy since 2019 and this address attracts all kinds of people, while echoing the Malouin comic book festival Quai des Bulles. There's plenty to enjoy and leave loaded with nuggets! They also offer a selection of derivative products (figurines, plushies, mugs...) that will make many happy and complete collections. Their online store also offers a large choice of books.

Located a little way from the city's busiest shopping streets, La Nef des Fous has been welcoming comic book addicts to its spacious, sober store since 2017. Behind this name lies the title of a Turf comic strip that Corentin, the bookshop's manager, is particularly fond of. After working for several years in Grenoble, then at the Critic bookshop, he decided to take up the adventure himself. In addition to comics, he also sells a wide range of comic books and manga. It's a great place to chat with the bookseller about new releases and personal favorites. Signings are also regularly organized, and announced on social networks!

The term Book-Chope that he chose on Instagram to designate his business suits him so well that we can't resist the idea of using the formula here. A beer and comic book lover, Gregory decided to reconcile the two by creating this charming store located a stone's throw from Place Sainte-Anne. Two universes not so far apart if we consider that more and more designers collaborate with breweries to produce their labels. Combining taste and graphic aspect to select the bottles put on sale, he also knows how to suggest readings that will ideally accompany the tasting of them. Authors' dedications and meetings with brewers are frequent events. Finally, we advise you to look up to admire the ceiling, a nod to the nearby Jacobins convent: a beautiful stained glass window made of comic book icons! Will you be able to recognize them all?

Behind Japanim is Julien Pelletier, founder of this network of bookshops specializing in manga, present in Brittany with 11 stores. In Rennes, the store initially located at 21 rue Maréchal Joffre has moved a few meters further to expand. Gone is the obligatory selection of references in the store, and the bookshop now boasts three floors and 300^m2 of floor space. The store features a wide selection of manga for children, teenagers and adults, as well as figurines and related products such as plush toys, models... and even swords. The team organizes meetings and signing sessions to exchange ideas with the public. A safe place for all fans of the genre!

Since 2000, Critic is a bookstore specialized in comics, with a small literature area focused on SF, fantasy and detective stories, not exhaustive, but run by a staff that knows its score. Since 2009, Critic has also become a publisher of novels in the three above-mentioned genres and has even recently launched into comics in collaboration with Les Humanoïdes Associés. 2022 is a special year since it marks the arrival of a new establishment... just a step away from the one we already know. Dedicated mainly to manga, these new premises come at the right time to fill a lack of space that was becoming obvious and to develop an ever more abundant offer.
