Right, ok. I've searched around but can't find a place online to buy manga (I'm looking for ﾆ谷ﾂーﾆ檀ﾆ谷ﾆ致ﾆ耽窶堋ｳ窶堋ｭ窶堙ｧ (cardcaptor sakura)) in Japanese language. No matter what I try, I seem to get translated mangas.

Also, does Amazon.co.jp ship internationally (to United Kingdom, and does anyone have any idea of how much shipping would be to here?)

Thanks everyone!

Ok, forget about amazon.co.jp
Check nippon-export.com
If you can't find what you're looking for, simply write them a mail saying what you need, and they'll check if its available on the Japanese market. Although, keep in mind, the shipping price is like skyhigh. The pack I ordered... well the shipping is more than the actual stuff lol, kinda weird. Although, you can order like snail shipping, but thats roughly 3-4 times as long, as they say, around a month. But the extra expensive thingy is rather fast according to them, 1 week it should take. Anyhow, im bs-ing again lol.
Best of luck with the stuff, oh btw lol, I even found gravure dvd's there... lawl.

Lol, I felt obliged to repay the favor, otherwise I'd have lost my geek honour, pride and whatnot.

Yes, Amazon.co.jp ship internationally, but the cost is rather expensive and to justify it you have to buy many books at a time. (Otherwise the shipping cost will exceed the value of the books you buy! I have the same problem when I want books from Amazon.co.uk...)

Shipping rates and delivery information

For books to UK, shipping rate per shipment is JPY3,400, plus you have to pay JPY300 for each book. So you have to think the actual price for each book +JPY300 to the price they offer, AND shipping cost as well...

Bah, amazon.co.uk is rubbish. The price is like 1.5 of the amazon.com prices. Its almost as if they didn't even convert them, but put them on the website just as they were in dollars.

How about finding a shipping agent who buy second-hand manga for you?

this shop sells a set of the manga, 12 volumes in total, for 1200JPY.

If a Japanese seller say something is Mint, I am 96% sure that you can trust him/her.
