manga hobo 

Guy or Girl who would permanently camp out in the manga section of Borders, Kinokuniya or Barnes and Noble in order to read manga, but never actually buys anything, thus hampering the royalties manga artists can earn.

Not always scruffy, can be deceptively clean, but inside their heads is the mind of a cheapskate.

This word is a variation of Hobotaku which has appeared in various online and blog articles related to the state of the manga publishing industry.
Greg is such a manga hobo. Why doesn't he actually pay for anything. Does he even leave this section?
