hmph, I'm kinda jealous... In Finland there's not any manga in libraries, go figure why ( and that sucks a lot, I don't want to buy any manga I want to read, because it's too expensive!! ) I've sent like thousands of requests, that libraries in Finland would get manga in their stock, but no response ... So nowadays I spend my money only on three mangas: Inuyasha, Oh! My Goddess and Detective Conan ( they don't sell many mangas in Finland, good lord I hate my country )

Maybe there is no large demand there? Our libraries here are sorely under funded, so we don't have much much manga and I assume it's going to be that way.
And yes manga gets very expensive. lol I should know.
Before anime & manga really got popular here, there was only a comic book store that carried manga. Now all the chain bookstores carry it.

the problem definitly isn't popularity, almost every teenager in Finland reads manga. Well, our "head" library is so big, I thought it wouldn't hurt their wallets to spend a few hundred bucks in mangabooks I think everyone who buys manga can agree with the fact, that manga is way too expensive ( but what can you do, the shipping from Japan and all other things needs money )

It's costs money for the company to get the rights to the manga plus for people to translate and reprint and so on. :/
I personally think manga should be no more than $7 (US) but that's just me.
Keep trying to write to the library, maybe get some anime loving friends to help. Maybe they don't know there's a demand?

woah, in Finland manga costs about 6 euro ( that's what, $6 in US ) Oh everyone here knows there's a big demand, but still those library jerks still don't do anything guess we've got to put a riot or something

Dark Horse manga is $10.95 Tokyo Pop is $9.99 Viz can be anywhere from $8.99 - $9.99
So it can get kinda spendy. >p

Tokyo Mew Mew were really good. The first set of them at least. I tried to read through the second, but just didn't get into it.
I collect the InuYasha and Rurouni Kenshin mangas too. I have four Sailor Moon ones, and I plan on eventually buying more offline, they're always just so expensive. D:<

It's because no one produces the Sailor Moon manga (US version) anymore, that's what makes them so spendy. I look into buying the Japanese reprints on Ebay, and the shipping alone is what kills. Bleh.

Shipping is awful. I might break and buy them in Japanese, just to say I have them.
I just wish there was a website online to read the mangas. some sites are up like that, but not for Sailor Moon. .____.

Someone posted a site that had sailor moon manga you could read online, maybe someone will dig up the link again.
I want the re-prints but I can find a decent seller. :/ Too spendy for each manag + shipping. :/
