I live in Saudi Arabia and it REALLY is DIFFICULT. -_-;;
I tried buying just a game from the net and it was returned...so I had to use a friend's address who lives in a different country.
It might be easy for people who live in the Diplomatic Quarters to get what they ordered, but I don't live in there and so..it's really impossible, especially since I'd want to order manga. (which would have more questionable content than a video game. Even if it doesn't have any indecent images in it :'/)
Saudi Arabia has a STRICT law... So if anyone here also lives in Saudi Arabia and has ordered manga's from Amazon and got them, please tell me how you did it. T_T

If you lived where I did (Southern Canada) you would find it easy. You could shop in your bookstore and find some stuff, or you could go to Toronto or the States (New York, Chicago, Detroit) and get a lot of stuff.
However my mom thinks manga is a very bad pasttime so it's not like I can really buy a lot of stuff.

I personally have no purchasing power period. If I want something, I have to ask Mommy or Daddy for it. My dad will scan it for anything he deems inappropriate, and considering how he made me stop watching a certain show because the mermaids were wearing bikinis... not happening ever. My mother is one of those people who has to buy *everything* on sale, and ever since Waldenbooks left the city, the only place in town where I can get manga from is the used book store, and that doesn't help anything but the store and the person who brought it in. Once in a blue moon, you'll find really popular series like Cardcaptor Sakura or Furuba in Walmart, but otherwise, nada.
Of course, if it's popular, I can find it at the library, but I run into the problem of an overprotective dad, as he wouldn't let me get my own library card because he wanted to see what books I was reading.

I live in South Africa and we do get manga releases here but it literally takes years to get the next volume unless you import.
eg: Bleach for instance - We just ended the Soul Society arc
I try and Import whenever I can but it's hard to go out on a limb and import a series without having read a bit to see if I'll actually enjoy it

Here in Brazil I can find a considerable number of series on stores but they are 90% shoujo and the translations stinks, about the paper quality, you can call it toilet paper.
Only the scanlations helped me to find very good titles like Kimi no Iru Machi and Liar Game. Recently HOTD has been licensed but the quality...
I already miss the OneManga and 1000Manga

Same here, man. Manga in Brazil is terrible. But I would pay if exist some online reading site. At least, the paper would have a good qualit.
I liked the Anime HOTD, but i prefer the manga-version...
I will have to find some other scanlator for HOTD 8( , and I was loving the Xamayon Version.
