~Please note that we are no longer accepting applications for this giveaway. Thank you for all your responses! Please look forward to the next one!~
It’s that time again! Here at MANGA.TOKYO, we understand that it can be very hard for you to get hold of anime and manga goods outside of Japan. That’s why want to give everybody the chance to get hold of all kinds of rare goodies!
Our theme this time is rare second-hand goods we have found while on the hunt in otaku areas. Sometimes some of the best items can only be found by chance, and we want to pass on our good luck to you!
All you have to do is answer our newest Otaku Poll! We will ask you what you loved from the Summer 2017 season and why. We also want to know what has you most excited for Summer 2017! You can read a little bit more about the survey here.
Also, a little birdie told us that active users on the MANGA.TOKYO forum will have a much larger chance of winning a prize! Just answer the survey with the same email address you used to join the forum! If you haven’t joined the forum yet then you can do that here.
By the way, MANGA.TOKYO will NEVER ask you to cover the costs of the prize or of the shipping. If anybody ever asks you for money claiming to be MANGA.TOKYO, then it isn’t us! Please let us know. And don’t forget, it doesn’t matter where you live, we will get that prize to you!

Otaku Poll: Summer 2017 Anime First Impressions
Our first prize is a collection of key animation frames from the TV anime Attack on Titan!
This is Volume 1, and covers episodes 1 ~ 3 of the first season, as well as the PV and ending. It really is an amazing art book to have in your collection.
We got this particular book second-hand, and it is a first edition published on 23 August 2013. It’s in perfect condition!
The second prize is a full-color art book for the legendary manga Bleach by Tite Kubo!
Not only is every page in color, but you can also see rare illustrations of the characters out of uniform (and in their casual clothes! Don’t be so dirty-minded!)
We found this perfect-condition book in a second-hand otaku goods store and snatched it up as soon as we saw it!
The third prize is a set of second-hand movie programs, one for each of the Rebuild of Evangelion movies.
The pamphlets are jam-packed with stills from the movie, Eva designs, interviews (in Japanese) and more. It’s impossible to buy these now, so they are super rare items!
The final prize is the famous MANGA.TOKYO lucky bag, filled with goodies that have taken the staff’s fancy.
What’s inside? Well you’ll have to win one to find out!
The first season of the new year is just one month away from its finale. It was a great start with many amazing titles that made these past months worth the extra hours we put in front of our sets. Now, it is time for the cold wind to give way to the pink hues of the sakura tree and for the Winter 2018 season to give the anime baton to Spring 2018.
