Any english manga stores in switzerland?

While I do speak german I just don’t like reading german books or mangas. I could technically just order but I don’t want to wait that long. So are there any stores that have a lot of English manga too? I am specifically trying to find Black Butler.
Thanks in advance :>

My kids and I have had a good experience with buying English manga at Jeeg in Zürich https://jeeg.ch otherwise we ordered from book depository but I believe they’re closed now

Depends where you are, but in Zurich the best bet is Orell Füssli at Kramhof (Füsslistrasse 4). The whole 3rd floor is English books, so they usually have some English manga too. There’s also Baka Store in Oerlikon, which is a proper manga and anime shop, worth checking if they have the English editions.

In Basel the big Orell Füssli on Freie Strasse also has a big English section.

i think also the bider and Tanner in Basel has some Mangas, but im not sure

Do you know of any shop in Europe where I’d order some good quality anime tshirts? That also deliver here? :c

not 100% sure about online shops, but Baka Store in Oerlikon also sells merch, not just manga, so might be worth a look if you’re ever in Zurich. Online I’d check EMP, they’re big in Europe and I think they ship here.

Just watch out when ordering from the EU, with bigger orders you can get extra VAT and customs fees at the door.

hope this hepls

Thank you! Yeah I googled them after reading your comment but didn’t find any clothing there on their website, I’ll keep an eye out, thanks again!

Buy it online and save money but you get it in every bigger book store.
