Getting the Japanese Manga

Post by Celexa » Sun Dec 28, 2003 2:21 pm

How do you get it? I've tried amazon.co.jp, but every time I try to order something, I got the confirmation email but I go to the orders page, and my order never processed. Is there any online or offline store I can go to for the Japanese manga?

Me: This is coming from the kid who doesn't know what Viagra is!
Ko: It's cold medicine, right?
Our Group: NO!!!
Me: Can I just say?
Dylan: Sure, it's no weirder than what normally comes out of your mouth.
Me: (says what)
Ko: .....What's that?
Me: ......*starts crying*
Carley: STEVE! STEVE GET OVER HERE AND TELL KO WHAT VIAGRA DOES!
Steve: See, it's like this: The bridge goes up and the soldiers rush out....

Tiff: Aww, you killed someone for me. That's so sweet in a f***ed up sort of way!

Are you talking about the rereleased manga? I don't know why Amazon.co.jp isn't working. It's always worked for me.
http://www.jpqueen.com/ has volumes 4 and 5.

I can't order from Amazon Japan either. For some reason, they won't accept my credit card.

If anyone can find a copy of "Sweet Time Express" somewhere else other than Amazon Japan, I'd be happy.

What's weird for me is that it gets my order and I get the confirmation e-mail, but when I go to check my orders, it said I never ordered anything! Am I doing something wrong?

I got my volume 3 and 4 of the new manga in Japan Center in San Francisco and this big store, I also got the Sailor V manga of Volume 1 and 2. You should try looking for those stores. ^_^ Much better than internet.

Is there a Kinokuniya store around your area? You should check there if there is.

My way of getting Japanese Manga

Post by wsleigh » Mon Jan 05, 2004 3:24 pm

I bought the original japanese graphic novels 1, 4 and 5 plus the Japanese pictorial books R:8,9 S:3,4 and SuperS:1,2(the books look as if the anime characters (speaking in japanese)just came off the screen onto the book), all these bought as if I went to Japan itself and plucked them off the shelf -- at a used bookstore in town. They were classified 18+ but they are the originals, not hentai. The store usually just sells English books, except for a pile of manga and one day they had SailorMoon graphic novels.

Thanks everyone! I'll check for those stores, but I can't go to san fransisco (sp?) unless I get really lucky because i'm an illionoian girl, and for some reason dad won't go to california. I know there are about five or so other san fransiscos (checked mapquest) but it would be hard. JP queen is reliable right?

http://www.sasugabooks.com/ is another place you might try. They currently have the first 5 re-released volumes (their store is based near where I live), and their online ordering has worked well for me in the past.
