  • FAIRY TALE A national treasure's been stolen and the magical world of faeries is in an uproar! The Fire Prince Silva may not get along with the Water girl, El, but they'll have to overcome their differences to confront an evil witch!

  • MP Elena is learning magic, and needs one very special book to become a pro. Too bad she's not the only one after it, and her clumsy buddy Bomb isn't much help!
  • XMAS HEARTS Santa Strat is a Christmas hater, and he plans to skip the holidays and feast on cake yet again. Or he did...until someone stole all the cakes! Now he's looking for payback!
  • COMBO SQUAD Despite his job as a hero, Mafuyu Mitsurugi is more of a zero. In a last ditch effort, his boss teams him up with a beautiful girl and a surly brute. And they just might save the day!

    Frequently asked questions

    You’ve asked, we answered.

    Visit FAQ Page

    Do you offer free shipping?

    We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

    As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

    We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

    Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

    Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

    We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

    What is your return policy?

    Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

    The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
    and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

    Can I cancel or change my order?

    We move quickly to get your order on its way.

    If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
