[katsudon]

small order this time. for my "personal" collection,

edit: a surprise package arrived today (10 days early so i guess SAL has a large time window)

[Weaper]

the fuck are those? what manga?

@ Weaper:

はじめてだってば！
Hajimete Datteba! - from the author of the manga Smash!

Sweet!! At around USD22, I think it's a good buy. 

Makes me want to have one when I start my own manga collection.

if I was able to read japanese I'd be bankrupt. it's kind of a blessing even if I'd have one of the mightiest manga reading room in existence

it's quite tempting to buy even when you don't need it... you know the type that you already own a video cd and want to have the dvd and bd when they do come out. Or if you idolize an author and bought his/her works even the ones you don't like. In my case, if I don't stick to a monthly budget I'd be working to death to meet those credit payments. 

What kind of manga reading room is that? 

[Weaper]

well, for now I only have:
- Sun Ken Rock volume 1 to 13 in french
- Raqiya vol 1 to 3 in french and 1 to 5 in Japanese
- Hotel
- Space Chef Caisar
- Gunnm volume 1 to 9 in french
- Gunnm Last Order volume 1 to 15
- Gunnm Other Stories

these are from my 2 favorite mangaka: Boichi and Yukito Kishiro

In France, manga are from 7,5€ to 10€... fucking expensive. Being able to read Jap would make me save money even with the shipping.

[Koro]

Eh, more expensive over here. $10-20 a volume.

shipped from 'merica?

[Koro]

Nope, local. Probably around the same if not more expensive to ship from America, unless bought in bulk.

This! I'm so f*cking poor, and my starvation has nothing to do with being a college student... 
How is honto.jp? I haven't bought from them since before the merger, but the box in the picture looks exactly the same as before, same packing material even 

[Ncf]

i read the scannlated chapter (Thanks PROzess and Black Wing!!!) and it looked pretty good, it was a good love comedy!

[PROzess]

Me envious T_T

honto.jp , 10 more days longer in shipping to the states using SAL >.> 
but of course, the packing material/technique is exquisite

Is it less expensive than yesasia?

[katsudon]

Is it less expensive than yesasia?

yes, in small numbers, the shipping is cheap, takes about the same time as ordering from yesasia to the states.

however, if you are getting a large amount of books, there's a point where yesasia would be cheaper as after you hit a certain amount you get free shipping.
