"For a trading card game enthusiast like myself, finding a store with a good selection and a friendly environment is key. Sakura Manga & Anime delivers on both counts. They have a fantastic stock of popular TCGs, and I've even found some harder-to-find booster packs here. More importantly, the atmosphere encourages community. I've met other players just by browsing, and the staff are supportive of the TCG scene. It's not just a place to buy cards; it's a place to connect with other players. Highly recommended for anyone into trading card games!"

"Visiting from Ireland, Sakura Manga & Anime was exactly what I hoped for in Akihabara. The sheer volume of manga available was astounding, and finding specific volumes from older series was surprisingly easy thanks to their organized layout. The figure collection was incredible, featuring both the latest releases and sought-after older pieces. What really stood out was the helpfulness of the staff, who patiently answered all my questions despite the language barrier, sometimes even using translation apps. It made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I left with a few treasures I'll cherish!"

"I love coming to Sakura Manga & Anime after school. It’s a great place to relax and just browse. They always have the newest volumes of my favorite manga series right when they come out. The selection of cute merchandise, like keychains and stationery, is fantastic too! The staff are always smiling and remember regulars. It feels less like a store and more like a friendly neighborhood spot for fans. I’ve even bumped into friends browsing the same series. It’s definitely my go-to place in Akiba."
