You are very welcome. It's a good jog on my own memory, as well. And it's served to make me more enthusiastic about going to Japan. ^_^
The price I quoted was for regular published novels...the doujinshis can range in price. I think the vast majority are 200 to 1000 yen, but thicker volumes and ones by very popular circles can get pretty pricy.
I'm trying to remember about organization, and from what I recall, most stores categorize everything by fandom, then by pairing (if they bother). Some places will separate out the popular circles of that fandom as well. In other stores, I believe I've seen completely separate sections for the very popular circles. You'll have to see when you go. The small stores will only bother with fandom separations, though.
Do you think that more detailed directions and/or maps would be more helpful? I know that some of the other guides have directions and/or maps, and I don't want to bother if people can get the info from other places. I only provided the maps the stores themselves, but most of them are in Japanese...and I think the more I try to explain the more I blather. :P If you can make sense of this paragraph, please give me your opinion.
