If there was anything Rui disliked about America, it was definitely the manga. First of all, it was translated - badly. Each new volume came out sporadically and they always had those stupid warnings at the back telling you which end of the book to start at, because Americans were completely backwards and too stupid to realise how things worked.

And? The Shounen Jump only came once a month, instead of weekly. And it was translated. It sucked. Plus it seemed to be much thinner than the volumes back in Japan, though he was going to pin that down to there being shounen heroes running around the City.

The book store wasn't one that he frequented, but he'd thought he'd give it a shot anyways. He looked around for a manga section as he walked, and with his eyes on the bookshelves he didn't see the girl fast enough to avoid bumping into her.
