Rightstuf.com sells manga bags that are about the same size:
http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/rX7zOHFF94HoVAKLPx/browse/item/77289/4/0/0

It won't fit any omnibus editions, but any "tokyopop standard" sized manga will fit. I don't know where else "manga covers" would be sold.

Have you tried your local comic book store? If they carry manga they may carry the covers. Or they may be able to order them for you in the quantity you want.

I found these on Amazon... is this the right thing? (Honestly, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what these are... is it like a simple ziploc baggie, or like a book cover so you can read the manga with the protector on?)

For B&M stores, you should check shops that sell sports cards or coins as well... basically, most anyplace dealing with small collectibles has a chance of selling protective coverings. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Perhaps these are more what you're looking for? Demco's a major library supply company, and definitely reputable. I assume they'll sell to individuals as well as libraries.

I'm glad it's a bit closer to what you wanted. You might consider browsing through the site, there might be a couple more options available, but that was the best one I saw.
