So, You Want to Order Lala Magazine from Amazon Japan...

Are you excited about the last chapters of "Ouran?"  Do you want to get some of that Ouran loot?  Well, here's some helpful hints on how to get some!


Direct links to Lala 8 and Lala 9 (pre-order):


Lala 8: http://tinyurl.com/23lpg6j
Lala 9:  http://tinyurl.com/2cqk68z

Here’s a link to the “English” version of their website.

Link:  http://www.amazon.co.jp/In-English/b?ie=UTF8&node=1094656

There’s still A LOT of Japanese, but it's manageable (the links and buttons are the same configuration as the Amazon US website, so if needed, just refer to the Amazon site in your country to figure out what the buttons and links are.).

Hints:
The little shopping cart icon is, indeed, your shopping cart.
  When you get into your shopping cart, look on the top left for a link to put the page in English again.  You will need to choose International shipping.  From here forward, there should be enough English to get you through the purchase.  If it turns back into Japanese, look to the top left again for the English link.

The cost of shipping is horrendous.  Shipping to the US is $30 for the first item and $3 per item after.  With this in mind, I usually order several items to spread the initial shipping cost  across multiple items.  My suggestion in this cases is to order both Lala 8 and 9 at the same time.  They will immediately ship Lala 8 and then Lala 9 will come when it’s released (even though they say they will ship at the same time).  The shipping will be $33 for both items instead of two separate $30 shipping fees.  I would encourage you to wait until Lala 10 becomes available for pre-order to spread the cost of shipping further ($36 for three magazines), but it’s very likely that Lala 8 will sell out soon.  The nice thing about this is that it's Fedex 2-day shipping, so your wait will not be long :).

I hope this helps those of you who want to buy Lala magazine directly from Japan and I will continue to post the direct links to the magazines as the pre-orders become available.

Oh, and a gentle warning...if you do purchase Lala magazine, as tempting as it may be, don't post the raw.  The Japanese publishers are *aggro* right now and you could get in a lot of trouble if you post the raw.Source URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Amazon

Last Day for Arakure on this Blog

This is the last day before I retire "Arakure" (Wild Ones) on this blog. Amazon already has volume 10 in stock and will, supposedly, ship the book on Tuesday. I already bought my copy :). Buy your copy through my Amazon Associate store and help put a little change in my pocket.

Amazon Experiment

As some of you may have noticed, I'm experimenting with Amazon.  In addition to selling my used manga, I have opened an "Associates" store to make it easy for you to purchase some of the manga series I translate, review, and recommend.  The idea here is to create a "win-win-win" situation in which you all, if you can, support the artists and publisher by purchasing the manga when it becomes available, I can get a little money from referring the sale to Amazon, and you all can have easier access to purchase the manga.  Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I can't keep doing this for free and I know the manga artists can keep providing us with wonderful stories to read for free ... so let's give this a try and see how it goes!

Here's a link to the store.  And a permanent link is located in the right side bar menu under the name "Omari's Sister Recommends."  I will be updating the store as the manga I translate and read come out.  Currently, "Ouran High School Host Club" Volume 1 - 13, "Wild Ones" (Arakure) Volumes 1 - 8, and "The Palette of 12 Secret Colors" Volumes 1 - 6 are listed there.  There is also a running list of my recent purchases.

Please leave comments.  Tell me if you like this idea or if you hate it.  Also, give me more suggestions on what I can do to improve on this idea.Source URL: https://aminefairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Amazon

Akagami no Shirayukihime Chp 15

Happy New Year to everyone out there!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day where ever in the world you are!

Here's "Akagami no Shirayukihime" Chp 15.  This is the first chapter in a two-part flashback.  I will start chapter 16 ASAP because it's looks like a powerful chapter.  There are a total of 17 chapters plus an omake out so I'll get those out of the way with to catch everybody up to real time.  After that, there will be a 2-month period between chapter releases coinciding with their release in Lala DX.  It's on the same release schedule as ZHD.  Yeah, it's a bummer, but none of us have any power over it.  Anyhow here's the link:
