Question: Buying manga (rurouni kenshin) in japanese!?
I have the Rurouni Kenshin manga volumes 1-3 (Vizbig edition, it has 3 volumes in one) that a friend bought me for graduation!. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy this same edition in japanese, or will I have to buy the individual volumes separately!? also, where is the best place to buy japanese manga from!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
They're separate in the Japanese editions!. There are several places to buy Japanese manga from online, you may also want to see if you have a Kinokuniya http://www!.kinokuniya!.com/ bookstore near you (I go to one, and they're very helpful and can special order) to get manga without the hassle of it being shipped from Japan!.
Acclimate Solution Inc!. is an on-line bookstore dealing with Japanese Mangas and Manga Magazines!. Our staff in Japan will find your books and ship your items directly from Japan!. http://www!.aclimatesolution!.com/manga/
Mandarake Japan!. Used Manga shipped from Japan http://www!.mandarake!.co!.jp/ (shopped at their site, good prices, but kind of hard to track down what you're looking for!.)
Nikaku Animart!. Located in the USA so you can even call them up and ask questions!. http://www!.nikaku!.com/ (been to their store, friendly people)
Sasuga Books also located in the USA so you can easily call them up with questions!. Looks like they only have some random volumes http://www!.sasugabooks!.com/advanced_sear!.!.!.
Amazon Japan selection seems to be hit or miss, make sure you're buying directly from Amazon and NOT resellers on the site, since they are not going to ship to USA http://www!.amazon!.co!.jp/s/ref=nb_ss_b!?__!.!.!. (I used them when I have something specific in mind!. Shipping is expensive)
I would not suggest Yahoo Japan Auctions http://auctions!.yahoo!.co!.jp/ (Yahoo auctions are bigger than Ebay in Japan) because the deputy fees (you'll need a company like Rinkya http://www!.rinkya!.com/ to bid for you unless you speak Japanese and the seller is willing to ship to USA), bank transfer fees and shipping will probably make it really expensive!.
るろうに剣心 明治剣客浪漫譚 is the name of the manga in Japanese (if you're not seeing the characters properly, change your language settings in whatever browser you're using) and you can copy and paste that into Japanese sites to see if they have it, if they don't have the search set up properly for English!.
Good luck getting your manga!Www@Enter-QA@Com

you'll prolly have to buy three volumes, but they are WAY overpriced here compared to japan!.
go to amazon!.co!.jp and make an account, then search for rurouni kenshin and some stuff should come up!. If you've used amazon before the japanese one is the same (basically)!. There is an option on there too so its mostly in english!.
you'll prolly need to make sure you can type in japanese though because when you sign up you need to enter furigana!.
but the price is prolly going to be around the same (since its getting imported from japan) or less!. Naruto volumes from japan are only about $4 (they're 410 en) so ya i dont think kenshin will be moreWww@Enter-QA@Com
