Anyone fluent enough (and bored enough 🤣 ) to help me try to place an order on Amazon.co.jp?

I can figure out enough to see that at least some of the (older) manga I'm looking for is available there for cheap (some just 1 yen!! 😲 ), but not enough to see if it's from sellers who'll ship overseas AND be absolutely sure it's what I'm looking for. {Babelfish helps, but I know better than to really trust it. 😃 }

So anyway, what I have in mind is this: I make up a list of the manga I'm looking for, and bored-person-fluent-in-Japanese checks Amazon.co.jp and lets me know if it's available & what the total will be. Maybe I need to make an account & have stuff added to my cart, not sure if Amazon.co.jp works the same as Amazon.com for that??

So, yeah...reply here or pm if you might be interested. 😀

(For anyone who's wondering why I want to buy manga I obviously can't read, I have been sporadically learning Japanese for several years & hope to focus on it more in the near future. Also, I'm watching the Taiwan-drama version of Bara no Tameni which has reminded me of just how much I love this manga & want to be able to read the whole original story!)

Heh. You do know it's possible to switch the language of a lot of the info on there to be in English, right? Look for a text above the buy button that says "Click here to see in English."

Of course, I don't think that works for the links to people who sell used books. But those are more or less private sellers, I doubt that they're going to want to ship to you anyway.

A better option if you want used books would be inquire with this store. It may appear that their selection is pretty meagre, from the lists they keep, but in reality they'll go out and get anything you want, used or new.

Yeah, the "click here to see in English" only translates part of it, and even Babelfish doesn't work on everything. However, there are some Marketplace sellers that ship overseas, and it's hard to beat 1 yen manga - there was even one listed today for 0 yen! 😲
