+ WHERE TO BUY +
These sites may be helpful in your search to buy manga. These are the places I have bought manga from and give you an honest review of their service.
Manga Seller : Lucid
Location : Japan
E-mail : -
What I Bought From Him : Gekka Kajin Lumen Lunae (Vol.1-5), Gravitation (Vol.12 and 1), Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne (Vol.1-7)
Review : If I could recommend only one source to buy manga from, this is definitely who I would choose! Lucid is a man that own's an anime store in Japan. He is a total sweetheart! He speaks very good English and replies to e-mail extremely quickly. To ask for his services all you need to do is e-mail him and ask if he can find [these volumes] of [this manga] by [this mangaka] and for what price ^_~ Simple, ne? You pay him through PayPal and then he sends your merchandise (he'll keep you updated along every step, as well). All of my manga arrived exactly a week after he said he mailed them! Awsome service!
Site : Anime Nation
What I Bought There : Fruits Basket Character Book (for a friend), D.N.Angel (Vol.1-6), Gravitation Fanbook
Review : Hm...this is probably the source I'd least recommend. It may tempt you with its multitudes of anime merchandise, but don't buy from them unless you want to wait for months to get your items. Apparently everything you order from there is backordered. I had a lot of troubles getting my D.N.Angel in. After paying about $7 for each manga and $6 shipping and handling for every single manga. How feckin' rediculous is that?! But I wanted them just that bad, so I paid up. Right after I paid I get an e-mail saying they were all backordered. A month later I receive Volume 2 in the mail. More "backorder notice" e-mails. A month later I get Volume 5. 5?! WTF?! And then I notice something...they had pulled $6 from my parents account each time they shipped something. So I had to pay double the shipping. Was that my fault? No. It was theirs. Bitches. About 2 months after that I receive all the rest. And then I vow never to order from them again. End of story.
Site : Anime Gamers / Omocha Box
What I Bought From There : Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne artbook
Review : This site is very reliable and I like it. My artbook came in quickly without any problems. The end ^_^
Site : E-Bay
What I Bought From There : D.N.Angel T-shirt, Saiyuki GAIDEN manga, and some other stuff that I'm blanking out on...
Review : E-Bay, if you're careful, can be wonderful. If you're not careful and lucky, however, you can get seriously ripped off. I can't really rate E-Bay because it all depends on the person running the auction...
Site : Planet Anime
What I Bought From There : E'S (Volume 2-3), D.N.Angel (Vol. 7), Gundam Wing Artbook, Neutral Artbook (Yukiru Sugisaki), Gundam Wing - Endless Waltz Artbook, some other graphic novels and stuff... ^^'
Review : I've never actually ordered from them online, so I don't know how that is. I just go to the store in downtown Houston ^_~ They have a lot of anime merchandise at decent prices, so no complaints here!
Ok, well everything else I own has come from A-kon, Waldenbooks, Anime Magic, Suncoast, or Bedrock City (an awsome comic book store near my house <3). Good luck finding what you want!
