Buy cheap physical copy in Japanese

Hello I wanted to recommend a site mandarake.co.jp for those who wanted to buy manga or books in japanese.
I use this store for 2 main purpose
1. Buy manga not published in English
2.buy an entire manga set for cheap

For my Europeans,you know how much a single manga comic can cost so this will definitely save you money

For example
I bought all 13 volume of 俺の物語used on mandarake it costed me 1.400yen the shipping cost to italy was an additional 3.600yen. With the grand total of 5000yen =34,73€(as for now) and the shipping was dhl.
That’s 2.70 for one manga which is not only extremely cheap for a manga in japanese (normally I’ve seen resale for 8€ a volume) but it’s also cheaper than it’s translated version which in Italy is 4.30€ a volume.

Even tho it’s used the conditions are great (I’ve bought some book before that it was hard to believe they were pre owned)

Just wanted to recommend it for any European especially those who are using the more expensive version and slower shipping.

You can navigate the site with zero to minimal Japanese so don’t be afraid to try it, they are many different stores within the website so I recommend purchasing from the same store so that your parcel can be combined together, I’ve only used it for books so I couldn’t say about other stuff but it’s definitely worth it if you are searching for an entire set or even old mangas some can be extremely cheap like ao haru ride the whole set was just 700yen so be quick because before you know it it’s gone (I unfortunately couldn’t get it)

Good luck!
