For years, book lovers, manga readers, and anime fans in Tripura have had to depend on online orders, long shipping waits, and unpredictable customs delays just to get their hands on quality imported reads and collectibles. That wait is finally over. Habely Pvt. Ltd., located in Kalyani, Agartala, has opened its doors as the region’s first dedicated destination for imported English books, manga, anime merchandise, stationery, and professional printing services — all under one roof.
Whether you’re a student hunting for affordable reference books, a collector chasing rare manga volumes, or simply someone who loves the smell of a freshly opened book, Habely has been built with you in mind. Here’s an in-depth look at what makes this new store worth the visit.
A Long-Awaited First for Agartala
Agartala has no shortage of small bookstores and stationery shops, but a store that combines imported English books, a genuine manga and anime collection, and full-scale printing services simply hasn’t existed here before. Habely is stepping into that gap, positioning itself as the biggest imported book collection in the city and one of the most complete lifestyle stores for readers and pop-culture fans in the entire state of Tripura.
This matters more than it might first appear. Imported books in India often carry high price tags because of shipping, duties, and limited availability outside major metro cities. Manga, in particular, has historically been very hard to find in the Northeast, forcing enthusiasts to either pay steep online shipping charges or go without. Habely directly addresses this by stocking these items locally and pricing them competitively, making Agartala one of the few places outside major metros where you can browse manga and anime merchandise in person before buying.
What’s on the Shelves: Books That Won’t Break the Bank
The centerpiece of Habely’s offering is its book collection, and the pricing model is designed to make reading accessible to everyone:
- Imported English books are sold by weight at ₹499 per kg, a model that rewards heavy readers and lets you build a personal library without counting titles one by one.
- A selected books section offers titles at a flat ₹99, ideal for students or casual readers who want quality reads without a big investment.
- Manga and anime books are priced at ₹250 each, bringing beloved series within reach for fans who previously had to import them individually online.
This tiered pricing approach means there’s something for every budget — from the casual browser looking for a ₹99 find to the serious collector filling shelves at the per-kilo rate.
For Students and Everyday Essentials
Habely isn’t only about books and merchandise. It also serves the everyday needs of students and office-goers with copies, diaries, and khatas priced from ₹180 per kg, along with a wide selection of pens, stationery, school supplies, and gift items. This makes it a practical, one-stop shop rather than a niche store — you can pick up notebooks for the new school term and a manga volume in the same visit.
The Anime and Collectibles Corner
For anime and pop-culture fans, this is where Habely truly stands out from any other store in the region:
- Anime merchandise starting at ₹199
- Posters — covering anime, cars, and other themes — starting from as low as ₹10
- Premium keychains from ₹90
- A dedicated katana collection starting at ₹149, perfect for display pieces and cosplay accessories
- A Hot Wheels premium collection for die-cast car enthusiasts and collectors of all ages
This section transforms Habely from a bookstore into a genuine hangout spot for fans of Japanese pop culture, giving Agartala’s growing anime community a local space to explore and shop rather than relying entirely on online marketplaces.
More Than a Store: Printing and Design Services
Habely also functions as a creative and professional services hub. The store offers:
- Bengali and English DTP (desktop publishing)
- Graphic design
- Printing solutions
- Book publishing support
- Xerox, lamination, and related services
This combination is particularly useful for students working on projects, authors and self-publishers looking for local production support, and small businesses that need design or printing done without going through multiple vendors. Few stores in Agartala combine retail book sales with this level of publishing and design support, making Habely a genuinely multi-purpose destination.
Why Habely Stands Out
A few things set this store apart from the usual bookshop or stationery store experience:
Scale of collection. Habely describes itself as home to the biggest imported book collection in Agartala, spanning fiction, non-fiction, manga, and more — a scale that’s simply new to the local market.
Competitive pricing. Between the per-kilo book pricing, the ₹99 selected titles, and affordable manga at ₹250, the store has structured its pricing to suit a wide range of budgets, from students to serious collectors.
Variety under one roof. Books, manga, anime merchandise, stationery, collectibles, and printing services are rarely found together in a single store, especially in a market like Tripura. Habely’s model saves customers the trouble of visiting multiple shops.
A gathering point for a niche community. Anime and manga fans in smaller cities often feel disconnected from the broader fan culture available in metros. A physical store stocking katana replicas, anime posters, and keychains gives local fans a place to browse, discover new titles, and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
Who Should Visit Habely?
- Students looking for affordable books, notebooks, and stationery
- Casual readers wanting to browse a large, budget-friendly book selection
- Manga and anime fans searching for volumes, merchandise, and collectibles that were previously hard to find locally
- Collectors interested in Hot Wheels, katana replicas, or posters
- Authors, small businesses, and students needing DTP, design, printing, or publishing support
