Welcome to nine floors of anime/manga heaven, Jordan.
The building is a bit narrow, so there's not a lot of stuff on each floor. She'll be able to read the sign as to how things are organized.
The first floor is magazines and a few snacks. It's also where you'd get tickets to the latest anime-related events, but that's probably not of interest.
The second floor says "books": meaning, lots and lots of manga. This floor is for mostly shonen series. The shelves look very similar to ones you'd find in a bookstore, and they are packed.
Third floor is for shojo series. All the titles on the bindings are red, and if you pull them out, many of the covers are pink or some related color.
The fourth floor has doujinshi and some merchandise. The comics are organized by series.
The fifth floor says "character goods"-- more fan-based merchandise. These are also organized by series, and tend to be cheap-looking little things like pins and notebooks and pencils and little sweat towels. Also stuffed toys.
The sixth floor has trading cards and figurines.
The seventh floor has CDs and DVDs. Everything up there is ridiculously expensive, though... No wonder piracy is so rampant in Japan. CDs are on the shelves, DVDs are on the wall. It's not just anime, either... There are some dramas and even anime-based musicals. Mostly anything with hot guys in it.
Eighth floor is video games. Nintendo DS games are on the shelves along with actual gaming systems, and everything else is on the walls.
The ninth floor isn't worth going up to, at least not today; it's an event space and nothing's going on.
Have fun! Eiji and the boys will probably follow Jordan around, maybe comment on some items near whatever she's looking at.
