Hidden away just around the corner from Leicester Square and short walk from Covent Garden, on Upper Saint Martin's Lane is Orbital Manga, a new little manga shop from the same people behind Orbital Comics on Charing Cross Road. Although Orbital Manga is small, it's worth looking around and is a refreshing change from comic shops that stock some manga. They've got a good range of manga and the usual selection of merchandise and trinkets.

Update: Orbital Manga has now closed. It's sister store Orbital Comics now stocks manga.

Update: We've created a London Anime and Manga Shopping Guide, listing other useful shops in London.

We've also updated this article adding some photos of the store. We asked the shop's manager if we could take photos and they gave us permission. The shop was actually fairly busy when we went in there, but we were able to take photos with people out of shot. To see bigger versions of the images below simply click on them.
