I really don't know if you need to know this, but if it makes you feel any better, there's a comic-con coming up in K.C. next weekend. Might be some manga addicts there...
I don't really know much about it, but I have friends going, and I could probably get the details if you're interested. It's not straight-out anime, but there might be anime fans. Can't promise more than that. Sorry.
