Where to buy Japanese version of DB manga?

The only places I know of that carry them are Sasuga Books, the Japanimation site, and occasionally Ebay.

Anyone know of any others?

If you already know of Sasuga Books, it makes me wonder why exactly you're looking for other sites, as well...

Amazon.co.jp is as good a bet as any, though.

well, I was just curious if there were any other stores that carried them.
><

Sasuga Books doesn't carry a partial or complete set of the manga, and the one that Japanimation offers is sold out, so I was hoping there might be some other place that would be different.

As for that Amazon place, well it's great to see all 42 volumes there, and at such cheap prices.. but I'm not sure if I can buy through them. :shock:
I'll have to look more into it...

Indeed you can; it's how I got all 34 volumes of the re-released manga (plus the guidebooks and such). You've got to find the "Amazon.co.jp in English" link and then set up an account (remembering to select the option that allows you to fill in information for "foreigners"). After that, you should be pretty well set... assuming you can find what you're looking for, anyway. 8)

Agreed, I bought all the Kanzenban manga volumes and my latter two DragonBoxes from them, so it's all good.

Its almost impossible to find them on online stores these days, except for the few mentioned above. Just go to Kinokuniya in NYC or elsewhere. Its manga heaven. An entire floor dedicated to it, never mind it being about the size of my kitchen.

I get mine from the one in Oregon :D
For online, I buy them off of Japanimation
