What it is
Mandarake Nagoya is the Nagoya branch of Mandarake, Japan's best-known secondhand anime/manga/toy chain, located in the Osu shopping district — often called "Nagoya's Akihabara" for its concentration of otaku and geek shops. The store spans four floors: 1F covers boys' manga, vintage toys and trading cards; 2F is toys, CDs and DVDs; 3F holds men's and women's doujinshi, idol goods and secondhand cosplay along with girls' manga; 4F specializes in Transformers, Zoids/hero-series toys, die-cast cars, dolls and magical-girl merchandise.
Like other Mandarake stores, stock is entirely secondhand and turns over constantly, so exact items vary week to week. It's a genuinely multi-genre stop rather than a single-franchise shop, useful for browsing a wide slice of collector and doujin culture in one building.
