Besides Amazon, where can I buy Japanese versions of fictional books?

1. Any JP bookstore. Try Maruzen?

2. kinokuniya : physical

   bookwalker : digital

3. I’d try your luck at ebay.

4. Just to be sure are you looking at [amazon.com](https://amazon.com)? Because japan has their own market place for content ([amazon.co.jp](https://amazon.co.jp)), you can buy digital content from the japanese amazon, but you need to sign up for an account listing a japanese address (it can be any random address) as your place of residence. you may also need to run a VPN that is hosted out of japan to get these books (there are free VPNs that you can use)

5. [bookwalker.jp](https://bookwalker.jp/) is cheaper than [amazon.co.jp](https://www.amazon.co.jp/) if you use the coupons

6. I am a fan of older things on ebay. For instance you can likely find the Harry Potter series in Japanese for fairly cheap. Manga can be 2$ per book if you’ll buy a whole set

7. Is YesAsia.com good? Thank you.

8. Bookwalker’s great if you want digital. Lots of stuff on there.

9. You can’t buy a copy of a fictional book in language.

10. eBay is golden, all my LNs are bought from there.

    Also you can buy thing from amazon.jp. You need to create a separate account but you can use the same email/credit card etc. They ship to where I live (Toronto Canada) with no problem so I would imagine they can ship to US as well.
