Importing manga

Post by Vidmusc » Thu Apr 09, 2015 1:18 pm

So lately I've been interested in importing some Dragon Ball and Akira Toriyama manga and was wondering what some people on here might consider the best place to do so. I've looked around on CD Japan and Yes Asia and was wondering if there might be any places I'm missing.

Almost any Japanese book store in a U.S. City will carry manga and most likely Dragon Ball in Japanese and English. I'm not sure which stores are in your city but big US chains like http://www.kinokuniya.com/ and http://www.bookoffusa.com/ do offer delivery. These stores import all the time so they tend to be cheaper than others in my experience.

I got the series for $100 on eBay in Japanese.
