Hi, I'm learning Japanese and there are a few manga series that I want to buy in Japanese so that I can continue my Japanese studies, but I'm not sure where I should buy them from, so can anyone recommend any online sites that sell Japanese manga? I know that you can buy manga from Amazon Japan and Yes Asia. Are there any other sites that are trustworthy? Which site is best? Thanks.

Akadot.com
Kinokuniya.com
benippon.com
I personally use Kinokuniya and Amazon JP but these three mentioned are very reliable, especially Kino.

It's pretty reliable, and it's probably one of the cheapest online Japanese book stores I've ever used . 😀
There's even a guide in English on how to use it here.

Still, bk1's in Japan, so you still need to pay a crazy amount for shipping if you're in the U.S., right?
I haven't yet bought anything in Japanese, but when I do if they have it I'll likely buy from kinokuniya since it's not especially expensive (probably about the same price as licensed manga published in U.S.).

I can't believe that http://www.yesasia.com hasn't been mentioned.
I, too, am learning Japanese. I own a whole bunch of volumes of my favorite manga in Japanese, and this site has proven to be reliable. It takes a while to ship, but the shipping is DIRT CHEAP. The packages I've ordered have always arrived safely and in excellent condition, even though it takes a few weeks. The manga itself (depending on the series, is also reasonably priced). I've tried BeNippon, but their shipping prices are painful. I hope this helped.

Seconding Kinokuniya bookstore. <3 Their prices combined with shipping are reasonable.

Not really since they do offer a variety of different shipping methods including SEA (scroll down to the bottom of this page to see prices for SEA .
I think you could easily buy like 3 volumes from there for just a little over $20 (including shipping), which in my opinion is considered pretty cheap~ 😛

I agree with you that the shipping is dirt cheap and the packages always arrive safely. 😃
