Recession hits UK Anime fans again

With Suppliers and distributers closing left right and centre earlier this year, claiming companies such as ADV and stores like Zavvi, another victim could be claimed before Christmas.

Border’s today stopped taking orders for new books while it’s in discussion with potential buyers, after news that it may not have the funds to reach the new year, with WH Smiths, HMV and Waterstones looking to make bids.

Borders is the biggest supplier of Manga offline and would leave UK fans with only Online stores and Waterstones or WH Smiths as distributers, both who have limited manga selections as it is.
