One of the greatest manga shops I have visited. Staff are genuine and super helpful. Stocks a wide range of anime related content (including other types like tv, movies, comics etc). Highly recommend for anyone who doesn't know this hidden gem with great prices, great range of stock and friendly staff.

Genuinely one of my favourite stores. I use it primarily for manga, and they blow the other local specialist manga stores (Tokyo Toyz and Forbidden Planet. I guess Waterstones too if you count them) clean out of the water in terms of pricing and customer service. Cannot recommend them enough.

Absolutely love this place! They have the 3 for 2 deal on EVERY manga they stock (unlike forbidden planet) so I go there all the time go get my manga. They also have a great selection of artbooks. The staff are really nice and friendly too.

Worlds Apart is my favourite shop in all of Birmingham and my number one go-to for when I am in town. The staff members are so kind, welcoming, and all-around lovely. There are comic books, manga, danmei, and an incredible selection of collectibles and merchandise. If you are a nerd of any subculture, it may be near impossible for you to leave Worlds Apart empty handed. And of course, my favourite corner of Worlds Apart is the dedicated LGBT+ section. I am incredibly grateful to be able to find so many wonderful queer stories all in one place♡.

Ground floor packed with collectibles of all descriptions. Even if you're not looking for anything in particular you will likely walk out with some or other new addition to your collection. Also the most extensive selection of loungefly bags that I think I have seen anywhere. If that is your thing then you should definitely visit. However the best for me was kept upstairs. Comics are my thing and this place absolutely keeps pace with the best of them when it comes to sheer range and depth of what is on offer. Make sure you have your wants list on hand for this one because you're gonna need it. I filled some gaps in my Dreamwave Transformers runs, and the guy behind the counter was really helpful in opening up a couple of bagged issues for me to confirm they were what I needed. I guess this won't be local for everyone, and even I only had a chance to visit passing through. But if you're in the area make the effort to get there and you won't be disappointed.
