Stores tend to stock things that are bought most or requested more often, if they don't have anything you want in stock at the time, it doesn't hurt to let the people up front know what you're looking for. They might even order it in just for you! :)

I live near a small shop called Pop Cultcha, and every time I buy manga there the guy who works the counter asks if I want anything in particular, so when I do they call it in and will have a copy for me within a week.
