while I'm in Japan, I figured I'd try to behave a little like Densha Otoko.

Are there any must-visit shops that would interest japan pop culture otaku?

Offhand I can only think of Mandarake in Shibuya. Are there any others for themes like


Doujinshi
Resin models
Cosplayers
Weird Japan fetishes

Having just 2 days there, I'd rather know exactly where to head rather than hunt around slowly. Maybe I'll take it slow during my 2nd time there, probably next year.
