Where can I find DB manga?

On the web? ( Sorry for asking ) Because I refuse to pay the outrage of a price at my comic store, which I will not go into detail here.

We do not condone stealing, here. Go buy the damn manga. Nice things cost money. And watch your grammar.

25 bucks for a volume is to much in my opinion.

If that's what it costs, that's what it costs. If you don't like it, try looking around. Look elsewhere. Buy online.

We don't steal manga, and we're not going to help you. If you're not too keen on that, boo-freakin'-hoo, find another message board.

$25? Where the hell are you buying it from?! Because, looking at the back of the One Piece volume directly in front of me, the price is $7.95 in the US, and $10.95 in Canada. If, for some reason, your local comic shop is hiking the price by over 200%, then buy it from Amazon, or something.

Why not try ordering it off of Viz's website? I'm not sure what the going rate is on a dragonball graphic novel, but I'm sure it's under $25.

Nice things const money. And watch your grammar.

The irony is just too much...

Kinda, but the rights to publish it in english hasn't been sold yet, so technically he's not stealing anyone's profits. (Like 98% of english speaking westerners aren't going to order it from japan)

EX and Julian will remove the translation as soon as an English version is announced. That's how fansubs work too.

If only someone who had posted before had provided some sort of clue...

$25? sheesh. that's about what 3 books would cost. i know when i've gone to waldenbooks or something like that i see it for like $8 a piece. you must be thinking of the akira mangas...i think they run close to that.

Isn't the Buu saga already out on DVD?

Regardless, the situation is still different, as all of DBZ is due out on DVD before too long. The chances of NMZ getting an English release, however, is fairly small. And when it does, pretty much everyone here would buy it. If you went and bought fansubs of, say, SSJ 2 Gohan vs Cell, would you then buy the official release when it came out? If so, there's no problem.

And I really would like to know why your local shop charges $25. Especially when each issue already has a much cheaper price printed directly on to the cover. It's pretty hard for shops to change the price when that happens.

Dayspring · Post by **Dayspring** » Sun May 23, 2004 2:07 pm

Actually it's not hard. The cover price is only a suggested price. He must live in an area where the store has a monopoly on the goods (ie: NO other store in area sells manga products, let alone DB). When that happens the store can charge whatever price they want. Stores that go over the cover price usually stick within $1 more so as not to avoid pissing off customers (unless the product's like a few hundred bucks), so I still doubt the whole $25 crap.

Or it's import? >.> I've seen US Dragon Ball & Inu Yasha [old versions] sell for as much as €24 [about...$27?]

But than again, this is the Netherlands, everything is expensive here, not only import >.<

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sun May 23, 2004 3:06 pm

€24 = $28.74

But in any event, you shouldn't be paying that much when you could just import them from Amazon. Even with shipping, it'll be a lot cheaper. And I'm sure there are other on-line places to order from that will have cheaper (or free) p&p.

They cost £6.99 in my local sci-fi/comic/nerd shop, which is about $12.49. Slightly more, but not enough to make me import them. Unless I'm getting DVDs at the same time, in which case I usually throw in an issue.

Hey do you go to a corrupt comic store or something? They're only $7.95 in the US for the SJ editions and $14.95 for the bigger older editions. If you really want to save just subscribe to SJ.

Most likely, he lives in some European country where DB hasn't been released yet.

The big version of the volumes cost over 25$ in Norway, so his price isn't unrealistic.

Concerning Neko Majin Z 3... Frankly, it's illegal to translate and distribute anything you don't own the rights to. Going on about how there's no money being made, that you'd buy it if it did come out, that the creators don't care, that it hasn't been licensed yet, and all those other popular arguments... is nothing more than a bunch of people trying to ease their guilty consciences over their 'not-quite stealing.' I don't see how anyone who downloads/distributes that stuff can complain about full episodes...

I know that I'm guilty too, since I was the one who scanned NMZ3, but at least I acknowledge it... ^_^
