Manga for Improving English

I stood and read manga in a bookstore today.
It's one of my bad habits. I love reading manga, but don't have enough money to buy all of them especially in here. The English translated manga costs double of its original Japanese one. Naturally, I just go to a bookstore and read them, however... I do feel guilty, so what I do is to pray for the bookstore to earn more money so that my browsing won't be a big thing.
But there are two good points (only for my side though). I've learned many new words from them, and I actually start thinking in English.
I guess reading (even though it's manga) is really good for improving English.

Saku, I have a bookstore (used books, many of them). I like it when people come and read books at my store, even if they don't buy any. Outside we have a table with free books. These are ones that are maybe too worn, or ones we have extra copies of.
My oldest two children learned to read by reading comic books (not so elegant as your Japanese manga). So yes, keep reading!
