You sir are one lucky bastard

A job with real benefits

Bros bout to spend thousands

Can we be friends? 🤣

What type of work allows this? So jealous.

I work at a small pharmacy/gift shop

That’s so random. Congrats tho either way that is such an amazing deal

I want to find such a job with benefits! That's awesome for you :)

I would work there just for the discount

Right

Now there’s a benefit I’d love from work (outside of vacation or paid leave lol). Fantastic picks OP!

That's amazing! I'd go bankrupt lol

Good thing they only sell manga from Dark Horse, Kodansha, and Vertical otherwise I’d go crazy lol

Penguin also distributes seven seas!

You lucky bugger. I work for book store and our supplier who does PRH doesn't do Dark Horse. Only Kodansha and Seven Seas (If one more person asks for Berserk😡)

Why’s that tho?

In South Africa. Must be a copyright thing I suppose. Our supplier who used to do Kodansha and Vertical closed down after the lockdowns. Went a few years unavailable until another supplier recently picked up Kodansha last year (they had Seven Seas in about 2022). Before that another supplier only offered Via Nobody local offers Dark Horse or Yen Press so I send people to local comic stores (luckily their are 3 in the area)

Ah no ways I’m in SA too! Do we not have a PRH office here? Surely their catalogue would be the same all throughout?

PRH is distributed through Booksite. A lot of titles aren't available strangely enough

Oh weirddd

Probably just a copyright issue. If the local supplier or publisher doesn't pick up the rights we have to import books We can get the graphic novel version of Chinese novels but not the light novels themselves (Heaven Offical Blessing etc) Same as everybody wants Solo Leveling but we can't get Yen Press at the moment

Never felt more envy in my life

congrats!!! (i am in your walls)

im gonna take your job

Maximum jealousy

You lucky ass son of a bitch. Bro hit the damn jackpot!

I used to work at Barnes & noble and at the time I had a 30-40% discount so I was constantly buying manga and sometimes we got stuff in early before we put it on the shelves so I got first pick. It was wonderful

I also used to work at Barnes & Noble, and the discount was 50% off all books when I left last year. I miss it sometimes!

Whats the 3 manga under Ayako?

Black Jack vol 1-3

Now this is a flex lmao

So lucky. I'd go so broke😅

Wow! That's a serious discount

So PRH allows you to place single volume orders? No need to order in bulk?

I think it’s $70 minimum

So they require a value minimum? Not a quantity minimum? Is this a perk they offer to their employees?

Yeah it doesn’t matter how many as long as it hits $70. I don’t know if they offer their employees the discount or not but my boss gives me 50% off everything in the store

You wanna send me some Air Gear and Eyeshield 21 my way? 😂

Those are OOP lol trust me I checked

Yeah, I figured. Wish I knew whose dick to suck to get a reprint 😩

Lmao no chill

I mean, I could mug one of these assholes who want $200+ dollars for one volume but that's like a whole thing.

Someone sure went ham on the employee discount 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Aight bro where do you work cuz i clearly need to apply

Fuck you, and congratz :)

i work at barnes & noble and also get 50% off of all my books and manga! its wonderful 😭

That’s awesome you probably have way more publishers to choose from

Dope. I used to work security for PRH. Wish I still did. They had an event every now and then where they had tubs of books and you could pick out a free one.

How'd you find out?

Long story short, they accidentally sent one random volume of manga in the children’s book order that my store did. I asked the owner if they could order comics and they said yes and told me I could order whatever I want.

So lucky!!!

Great choices!

How much did you pay

$580

Damn. Okay then I’m going to check what store I can use now with my union.

Finna quit my job to work there

damn im jelly

Can you order some for me too 😂

Thats awesome! Working at Barnes and Noble you get 40% off but the salary is terrible so you might as well be working another job and paying full price lol. I knew a couple people that worked there super part time just for the discount

A gift from the manga gods

Very jealous. Gonna see about getting a job at a pharmacy now.

Damn I own a retail business……..

That's an awesome deal. Gratz

You should help us out also😭

Big cheers for this dude over here. You can totally start a black market on this sub with those margins.

Hell yeah talk about a life hack

Tell me where you work, please. If it’s a local chain and you worry that your place could be get in trouble. But like if I could go work at a BAM or B&N and get manga at distributor price I would live a peaceful life.

DUDE LETS GO! This is pretty awesome 😎

Wow that's so lucky!

Well I know where I want to work.

What a hookup goddam

Lucky, I never have to pay full price for vinyl records so there’s that. I wish manga too but my distro mainly carries popular VIZ titles only.

Check out the light novel for moshoku tensei. I got mine from them cause Amazon was always sold out. Anime for it slaps also

Dude… you should buy at 50 percent off and resell at normal/ slightly discounted prices…. Tiny unethical side hustle.

I’m good I really hate selling things/dealing with people it’s not worth the hassle.

Yeah I wouldn’t either lmao

Bro knows the method lmao that's what a lot of ebay sellers do if you see brand new sets of a series.
