← view full thread · Where can I read manga in original, japanese version?
I used https://www.amazon.co.jp/ and https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/ before. Both are good and have a solid library that ships overseas. If you are ok with used (and cheaper) ones, you can check out second hand stores like https://order.mandarake.co.jp/
If you prefer digital release, you can check out the Amazon Kindle library and https://bookwalker.jp/st1/
Thanks! Wow, I am surprised. It's actually cheaper than English versions.
Of course, English manga are a total rip-off. I have seen places that sell English manga for 12 or 15 Euro while they go for roughly 4.50 Euro in Japan.
They say its to pay the translation process and I guess that's true to some extent. But figures also are way cheaper in Japan and those don't have a translation process. So my trust is gone XD
Well, you are dealing with an import when buying domestically, so you need to take in consideration, transportation costs, import insurance ( if there is any), import tax, storage costs AND markup to make the money - hence the price in anywhere except maybe US just skyrockets. Also, products in Japan are, funnily enough, underpriced (unless we are talking fast food)
