Specialized bookstores Paris 1st 75001

A manga Bookstore in the Japanese neighborhood! Rather logical, we will say, except that this kind of shop had not had its place in this Japanese enclave and very serious. Here is evidence that the manga takes maturity and quality. At Komikku, you'll find a rich selection of Mangas but also, more rare, a beautiful range of products derived from Ghibli studios. Dynamic and pro, the team organizes meetings and dedications, and vibrates to the world of the manga, Komikku, since 2012, has been diversifying and launching a publishing house, Komikku Editions, now led by Sam Souigbi, entrusting Sonia, his sister, the bookshop! Komikku Editions'first manga is called the Hellish Island of Yusuke Ochiai, the story of a man unjustly condemned to stay on a penitentiary island and screaming revenge!

Junku-do party in 2012 its 35 years! Here's where Japanese readers, japonisants or simply sensitized to Japanese culture meet  ! Since this library, it has not been détrônée and remains the Parisian reference in the field of Japanese literature. All books, all magazines published in Japan without forgetting an impressive number of books in French on Japan are aligned with the shelving of Junku-do. Whatever you are looking for, Junku-do has  ! And if, unlikely, the object of your envy is not available, the ILAB team, bilingual and archi, you order it in Japan. The ground floor, occupied by magazines and pocket books, contains everything related to literature, economics, tourism, practice, languages, arts and youth, while the basement places more futiles but no less pleasant readings: Comic/manga, artbooks (dedicated books or manga characters), but also Cds, Dvds, goodies and other kanji software. For Parisians, do not hear anything from Japanese but curious to discover classics of Japanese literature or then underground writers, a space is reserved with a good selection of translated works of Japanese. Also know, Junku-do as a place of culture, open on the meeting, offers free billboards that are other than points of exchange and information about the Nippon world of the capital.

While today it is possible to find mangas in most bookstores and large distribution groups, this was really not the case in the 1990 s. The Junku bookstore, located on the rue des Pyramides since 1992, is one of the first to have proposed it for sale, especially in original version, and was undoubtedly a real engine in the growth of the Japanese culture in France. Today, you will find all your favorite mangas, in French or Japanese, of stationery, Japanese newspapers and many specialized books (kitchen, martial arts, etc.). A real nucleus for japonophhiles!
