Anyone know of an online store that sells Japanese manga for a decent price? Preferably not a store in Japan, considering the expensive EMS shipping cost. On Amazon.co.jp, three manga totalled to be about 1,000 yen or so, but after shipping, around 4,000 or something. The ones I know of are Sasuga Books, PlanetAnime, and animenation. A Japanese one is JPqueen. Probably some of the best prices in the US that I have seen are at Half Price books. They had some import manga (several Dragonball, one Slam Dunk, and other things) for less than $4.00. Not spectacular, though. I always thought it strange how cheap Japanese manga generally retails for compared to in the US. The US English translated manga sometimes sell for 5 times the cost of the same thing release in Japan.
