I'd like to know what sites might be good to order mangas from? The mangas have to be in their original language (JP). That ships to the US not for a @!# amount for shipping. Kinokuniya seems good, but they only have 1/?? books in stock and I can't place an order online for back-orders.. Have to use email and gotta give cc info on phone, I don't like that idea.

Thanks.

There are some options I can offer you. Akadot is decent for most magazine back orders (they keep like 6 months worth in stock), but they aren't good for any kind of immediate service, so if it's really recent, they won't have it in stock.

Mitsuwa has decent prices for current magazines, though, and aside from shipping time (which is like a week), they're a good choice.

For volume manga I kind of recommend BK1 because they have a selection that rivals Amazon, but don't charge flat rate shipping, and actually offer you various methods from international air mail to sticking it on a container ship and sailing it to you (which takes about 2 months... I don't recommend it).

But I guess if you're just looking for really mainstream stuff, then you can get it from Sasuga (or any number of other places). They have piss poor selection, but prices are about as cheap as they come from a net shop.
