That's Hanabana Tsubomi for you. Kodoku no naka no watashi was even gayer and Kuro-chan even had a kiss. And yet no confirmed relationships.

>>3315636
Among the series I read, the Kirara's series with explicit romantic feelings are:
Sakura Trick
Seishun kajou Sisters
Smile Style
Saji-chan no yami nikki
Heart of the girl
Hito yori xx
JK splash!
Futakaku kankei
Itsuka watashi wa, kimi wo uragiru.
Kanamemo
Marriage battle!

Tsubomi's series obviously not included since it wasn't one of the Kirara magazines. And it was a yuri magazine so of course the series in it were yuri.

I bought the entirety of onesho and it looks like it's going through this time. Hype!

>>3315973
Did you get any of the exclusives or did you buy it on amazon?

Hoping Otherside Picnic's LN or manga would get an amazon bundle with en exclusive like the other series have. I haven't bought any yet but I want to get them all and I always miss out on the few amazon exclusives there are because they've been bundle sets. Yagakimi and adashima both had amazon exclusives sets so I'm hoping otherside has one as well.

It seems Amazon is really up to something to exclude us. This is what I've found today when I opened the site. Because yes, we choose what to read based on the country we live in.

>>3319065
Fucking hell, I feel like it's getting worse and worse. I guess CDJapan is still a somewhat decent alternative.

I'm conflicted about buying シスコンお姉ちゃんと気にしない妹 3. The author doesn't deserve the money for the direction it took and definitely not for the way it ended but it would cost me more in sanity to have it incomplete on my shelf.

>>3319111
I was able to get the konbu wakame books from CDJapan. The price is a little steeper than amazon but it is worth it not having to worry about stock depleting by the time amazon fixes it. Also looks like amazon cleared the locks on the first half of december's yuri so far. I was actually able to make an order today, over a full day in advance of the YH releases on the 18th. Very happy it worked out earlier this time, I was getting worried about fist of love, kono ai and lily triangle going out of stock in particular.

I absolutely adore the cover for this one. I'm also really satisfied with the way this ended in general (in sharp contrast to the way シスコンお姉ちゃんと気にしない妹 ended).

The only thing my current order is missing is School Zone, since it keeps getting blocked for international shipping on Amazon, and it's been sold out for a while on CDJapan. I'm also waiting for はつ恋、ときめき うすいほん 1 to be unblocked.

I completely agree about シスコンお姉ちゃんと気にしない妹 3.

I used to use CDJapan like 8 years ago, there was only EMS that was pricey and my orders took a whole month to arrive so I swapped to Amazon but now I see they added DHL! I may ditch Amazon for good it the cost won't change much.
What about import fees though? Do they charge you like Amazon or will I have to pay custom taxes on the delivery?

>>3320563
>What about import fees though? Do they charge you like Amazon or will I have to pay custom taxes on the delivery?
Last time I used CDJapan they don't charge you like Amazon (pretty much the only reason I use Amazon).

>>3320515
May have spoken too soon, amazon denied my credit card for some reason. I haven't had that happen in years so I'm hoping its just a fluke.

>>3320563
My CDJapan order took about 5-7 days from the day I ordered it until it shipped, and then only about 2 days to arrive with DHL which is usually always fast for me. Packaging was far superior to amazon's, they use bubble wrap to bundle up the books and fill empty space with crumpled paper. They also has an issue with pre-orders not being listed as available though, but it added them about a day or so before the release date for the batch I bought so nothing was blocked for too long.

>>3320576
I didn't find anything under shipment but now I've found it under payment:
https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/payment/customs_duties_and_import_VAT

Well, I can use it for Christmas since I'll be at home and finally get Konbu Wakame's books but I can't use it the rest of the year if they ask for cash on delivery.

I've also already tried to put them in the cart and the estimated shipment is a lot higher than Amazon, I wonder why since it's always DHL and it doesn't even have the import fees.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, there is no R18 on CDJapan? I tried to search for a couple of titles I have on my Amazon wishlist (syou and Shiratama Mochi) that I still couldn't buy since Amazon won't ship R18 abroad and because of Corona I'm afraid to use forwarding services, but I didn't find them on CDJapan.

>>3320603
>amazon denied my credit card
Now you're scaring me even more. Imagine if they didn't only block non-japanese addresses but also non-japanese cards.

>>3320610
I've re-verified my card 4 times today and it keeps blocking it so either my bank is lying to me saying everything is ok or amazon's payment system is on the fritz.

Yuru Oyako now being released in English on Booth via Yuri Hub, with the first four chapters available for free.

Disclosure: The English releases up to chapter 7 are basically updated versions of my original scanlations, with a few improvements to the translation/grammar and the fonts switched out for commercial-free ones.

>>3320289
Amazon split my order into 2 parts, 1 order for 6 books that shipped today and the other order for the 4 YH books that hasn't shipped yet even though everything is in stock now. I thought they were locking preorders to prevent that sort of thing from happening because it's a huge waste of shipping expense for them but apparently not.

And then there is merryhachi's collection of short stories but is it only digital? I can't see the book but I don't know if it doesn't exist or it's just Amazon hiding things.

For now, the releases until the 23rd are available, from the 24th onward everything is blocked except 裏路地浪漫屋物語.
I give up on Konbu Wakame's book and will use CDJapan to get them, they also gave me a couple of coupons. Though I hate to let Amazon do the shit it wants.

>>3321183
Fuck off, nobody is paying for your shitty translation and giving you money. You can scam authors who know nothing about you and western in general, not anons in the buyfag thread. Anyone who was interested already bought the raws, there's no need for you. I hope you are paid by sales and not by translation so you won't gain nothing and Taiyaki won't have to give you the already few money she makes. It's incredible how everyone here is trying to support authors and you, not only won't buy anything from them, but even managed to get them to pay you to machine translate their stuff after you spent years reuploading their stuff for free. You're scum.

Thanks for that, I missed a ton of these when I was adding everything to my cart last week. Yurinavi must not have had them listed yet. Glad to see gxg isn't dead yet too, but I wish they'd hurry up and revive all the series they killed off when exe axed their yuri section.
>merryhachi
Only 97 pages so that's probably why its digital only. No good reason why they couldn't wait for another oneshot to pad out a physical tank though.

>>3323099
>推しが武道館いってくれたら死ぬ 7
I can't say there's been any progress since the end of the anime, always the same kind of situations.

>はつ恋、ときめき うすいほん 2
Wait, disregard that, I did forget about the futa chapter, I don't really want to buy a tank with that shit. Fortunately it's on Comic Walker so we can't read and check before buying.

Speaking of which, GANMA removed all the chapters of Hino-san and isn't updating it anymore and tell you to download their app. I have yet to understand why japanese hate PCs that much.
I guess it's the same thing for AriOto's comicalization since I can't see anything on the site linked by Mikami Teren.

>>3323203
>はつ恋、ときめき うすいほん
Seriously? What the fuck, why would they do that. I really liked this series too.

>>3323234
The chapter is still up on Comic Walker. It's about a doujinshi character but it tricked you into thinking it was a girl and betray you in the end and the doujinshi girl has been "awakened" to "the power of dick" so it shows how serious the author is about yuri.

>>3323572
What's the effect of that doujinshi character on the main couple? They're still gay together, right?

>>3323578
Different anon, but that chapter had no effect on the main couple since they didn't even appear. The chapter is a side story that focused entirely on Kano getting new doujinshi, and ending up enjoying the surprise futa one. It does open up the possibility of futa being a thing later on, which I'm not surprised to see coming from this author considering they made a Kemono Friends doujin that was advertised as "yuri" but had futa suddenly appear in it.

>>3323583
Thanks for answering. As long as the possible futa isn't among the main couple I can live with it.

I was placing my order now and Oomuro-ke 4 and Yukiko's collection are blocked even if they are available for preorder. Yuru yuri and Kawai Roh's and Harukawa Haru's collections are also available for preorder but they are not blocked. I'm really having a headache trying to understand how this shit works. I guess I'll try waiting for the release day.

>冬馬くん
Found another release added to yurinavi recently. Not sure I want to pay 1600 yen for this series since I didn't enjoy it very much but I probably will because I'm weak.

>>3323780
I'm not expecting to make another order until january at this point, I doubt some of the end of the month releases will be orderable until then.

Does /u/ have any grails that are either off the market, or priced so high that they might as well be?
For me it's this bolze. SakiNodo doujin. I've been looking at it since I started buyfagging doujinshi, but I can never justify paying 30000 - 35000 yen + tax and ship for it.
It's a shame because from the preview pages it seems quite hot.

>>3324254
Every yuri thing I buy is priceless. Can't believe these fools are selling it to me for worthless money. I spent an absolutely disgusting amount of money on yuri goods this year, probably around 200000y total but I'm not going to add it all up because it would keep me up at night thinking about it. Overspending on rare yuri goods is highly recommended for all of /u/ wildly financially irresponsible anons. Worth every single yen.

>>3324324
God bless you, anon. I'm no longer in a position where I can make crazy irresponsible purchases, but I hope to be there again sometime soon.
If I ever reach financial stability again I'll just go fuck it and drop 215 pounds on a single doujinshi.
Wait... maybe that's how I got into this mess.

>>3324324
>Every yuri thing I buy is priceless
For real. I bought Yamato Nadesico and Sisterism for like 30 bucks total, and I wouldn't sell them for the world. A few years ago I dreamed of being able to hold my yuri books, very happy that I can now.

I have so much stuff in my digital backlog that I'm forgetting what I actually bought - and Kobo isn't very helpful at pointing out what should be removed from the shopping cart since it's already bought, just gives me random errors.

Yeah, got some more stuff from the Dash Bunko sale today, turns out I had most of their releases in my library already (but only read one or two like the strongest yuri truck, hope I can find more time and get faster at reading in moon).

>>3324254
Figured I may as well try sharing some pictures of the ridiculous amount of yuri stuff I bought this year, especially since I'm very happy to finally have these in particular. My main goal was simple, more yuri figures. In particular I wanted to give myself the Good Smile Candy Boy figures as a sort of christmas present since I watch it every year and I couldn't justify to myself why I shouldn't get them at any cost. Was around $250 including shipping but I was prepared for worse so I was able to stomach it. Forgot to put it in the picture but I also got one of the Candy Boy CD songs because it was strangely still in stock for $10, so why not. I stacked some of the other nendos I got in the background which I'm also really excited to open so I can decorate the rest of my yuri bookshelves. Chinatsu and Yui complete my YRYR shelf and were the most expensive nendos to get a hold of, but in general there are a surprising amount of nendos from yuri series out there that aren't marked up too much.

>>3325949
>yuri stuff
I see only solo stuff.
They may be from yuri series but let's be real, that merch is aimed at waifufags. I wish there was a market for actual yuri figures but they just won't make them, not even for yuri series. I can think only about one of YagaKimi and one of MadoMagi.

>>3326081
Why the fuck would a waifufag even bother with something like candy boy? Pretty obscure, everyone is explicitly taken. Get rid of the cope syndrome anon, it's unhealthy.

>>3325949
i had no idea candy boy statues existed

>>3325949
Kek, and I just shared to one yuri group a sale of the Kanade figurine for $30. If only we had contacted each other anon.

As someone who has owned the figurines for 10 years since release day please note that their hair paints can chip off.

File: bakappuru.jpg (38 KB, 449x500)

38 KB JPG

>>3326081
The Candy Boy figures are specifically made to be posed together. And plenty of the nendos come with yuri props, the Hotaru nendo comes with two Komari dolls for her to hold, Hinata's nendo comes with a Myaa-nee doll, Alice's nendo comes with two Shinobu japanese dolls, etc. I have the yagakimi figure as well, its also by far the most expensive to replace so I didn't feel like moving it to take a picture.

>>3326162
I didn't know either until recently either and it makes Candy Boy's lucky history even more wild. How did someone make all of that happen over a decade ago?

>>3326164
I saw auctions where they were chipping or damaged in all sorts of ways, which was one of my main reasons I was ok with spending more to get good conditions. Kanade's box is miraculously new and still sealed even though the box is beat up, Yuki's was used but barely looks it. Is there anything I can to do to avoid chipping besides being careful with them?

>>3326172
I can’t think of any besides reserving a spot on your shelf for them and not moving them at all. The spots which usually chip are the sides of their hairs and mine did after a very minor bump with each other (I tried to make them kiss I think).

Also forgot to mention the paints between their hand can transfer, and so does Kanade’s hair which is in contact with the clothes. You may want to slide some small transparent plastic at that spot.

>>3326176
That's really scary, thanks for the warning. Sounds like good smile didn't have their methods perfected back then because their newer stuff seems much more resilient. I was also thinking about getting an acrylic or glass box to keep them in so they'd be less exposed so I guess I should look into that again.

>>3326161
>>3326168
>are specifically made to be posed together
Then why aren't they sold together (obviously for double the price)? Evidently there must be people interested in buying only one of them.
I have two different sets of MadoHomu figures that are supposed to be together too, yet they were sold separately and in one case I also had a hard time finding one of the two to complete the set. It's really annoying.

>>3326362
So they can charge double the price. They know true fans will pay up.

>>3326362
Maybe because it was easier to fit the two separate figures into their standard tooling and processes.

Is there an online shop where SevenSeas and Yen Press have DRM-free or cbz version of their titles? I don't actually mind DRM (not that I know how it works with manga) as long as I can open it in my preferred reader without needing to convert files. Other publishers that have yuri besides Lilyka/DMP and J-Novel? Manga Planet is only subscription based, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm really happy seeing how fantastic they look after setting them up, even better than I had hoped. Taking the arms off and putting the finger interlacing arms on these made me so nervous, their fingers are extremely thin and delicate. I was so was afraid I'd break something since there are so many fragile pieces. The hair design is beautifully done too but those look like the easiest things to break and I'd be devastated. The bases are very light and small and the figures are tall and topheavy so I'm already imagining the nightmares that an earthquake will cause them to topple over and break. I'm going to attach weights to the base for now, also looking for some sort of dome or cube to put them in so they can't get damaged by ordinary means.

>>3327303
if you coat them in molten steel they should survive anything

>>3327363
I literally was daydreaming about how much easier it'd be if I could just cast them in amber.

>>3327370
lmao I guess great minds think alike

>>3327303
This looks really good, anon. Very nice.

>>3327022
Probably none, I think you're not going to avoid file conversion (Kindle) or stripping DRM (Kobo, which I usually recommend when DRM-free is not an option, and sometimes Kindle too). But it's dead simple with Calibre and the DeDRM plugin.

Lilyka always seemed suspicious to me since it's a DMI label and they don't have the best track record with their controversial crowdfunding campaigns and unpaid translators, but at least the site does offer no-DRM, which is nice...

Trying to continue the tradition of buying the yuri editions of SF Magazine, but this year all of my banks are fucking with me and not letting me pay for my Amazon order, and since it's Christmas I can't even contact them to see if it's fixable. I wonder if the day will come when I could just buy yuri with crypto (it's still a pain, but less so than international fiat money transfers).
And here I wanted to also finally get a copy of Cross Qualia just to have it on my shelf while waiting for Owari.

Sentai filmworks has been having their usual holiday sale so I picked up Bloom Into You's premium box set since I'd be kicking myself if I waited for a better sale and it went out of stock. Also got the Spyce box because I hate my bank account. They also have the PriPri box set on sale for around $30 again and I'd highly recommend it, it is loaded with extras. I almost wanted to buy another copy because it's so nice. Flip Flappers and Girls Last Tour is out of stock sadly and I didn't see any other premium box sets for yuri series. Kase-san and Fragtime are also available although they're just the ordinary BD that can be bought anywhere.

>>3328804
Thanks for the heads up, I just picked up the Manaria Friends premium set.
Although I had to get it from rightstuf, since Sentai doesn't have international shipping.

I can only find the first volume of 私たちは恋を描けない.
I assume there's two volumes, was the second volume never printed?

>>3329921
Seems like it, I just checked and I only have the first one too. Disappointing because I liked that series, no clue why it never got a v2.

>>3329921
>>3329933
Never printed because of very poor sales. And it's not the only one in my shelf in this situation, the bakeneko one and Shoujo junrei had the same fate and probably other titles I forgot about.

>>3329951
Damn, that's really disappointing to hear, I really enjoyed this series. I though the "twist" with the dad was pretty funny, I only think the side couple that came out of and went nowhere was poorly executed (but it was thankfully a very minor part of the story).

>>3329951
How bad do these have to do to not even get a digital-only release? So tragic for yuri to turn into lost media so quickly.

>>3330074
No, they did get a digital-only release for their last volume, they just didn't print them despite printing the first ones so who buy only books is left with incomplete series.
Then there are series that sell even worse and are abandoned without an end after the first volume, like Maitake's Sonae-san, and series that they don't even try to print from the beginning, like the new one of Amano Shuninta.

>>3330142
私たちは恋を描けない didn't get a digital release for 2 though did it? I can't find it.
>sonae-san
Oh I remember liking that one too. Seeing yuri get axed like that is too sad.
>Shuninta
I was really surprised that didn't make the cut. I don't understand publishers if they fail to market that one enough to get it to print.

>>3328143
I'm not familiar with Kobo. Do I need to buy their device (something like Kindle Fire) or I can buy it on the web?

>>3330240
Nah, neither Kindle nor Kobo requires you to buy any hardware, they are more or less identical services, you can just buy stuff on their web storefronts and download a PC or a mobile app to read it (you can even read in the browser). The DRM stripping thing can work with the devices as well, but it works best with said PC apps, so no need for anything extra.

That was a very expensive month for yuri, almost $300 just on new releases alone, about 25 releases or so, and a good number of them were priced twice as much as the average 750y. Definitely spent more than I'd like but december always seems like it has a lot of releases compared to other months for some reason. Next month looks more reasonable with about 15 I want to get so far. I always think I'll cut back on at least one or two things but I love yuri too much and enjoy so many artists so I never find anything I'm willing to skip.

>>3330157
You're right, I can't find the second volume, I remembered wrong.
It's weird since they serialized it until they had enough material for a second volume.

>>3330376
23 books for me, but the only pricey ones are the special edition of Yuru Yuri and Oomuro-ke, what did I miss? Or are you talking about stores' exclusives?

>>3330479
The most expensive ones this month were Touma-kun (1551y), the SF yuri edition magazine (1546y), and Princess Principal Spy & Seek (4265y).

>>3330565
I'm so happy to see that many people are ordering this year's SF yuri magazine, it felt like I was the only one to import the original one.

>>3330580
Probably because the original one sold out. I wanted to get the previous one but it was gone by the time I was able to make an order. I usually end up disappointed with yuri cover page magazines because they're usually low on yuri but high in price, but this one looks like it'll be good.

>>3330587
The previous one was good, but the actual yuri special was something like 1/3 of the magazine (and then all of the short stories got reprinted in Asterism anyway), so I think it's going to be similar this time around. They still have to publish their regular serializations after all. But totally worth it, yeah.

My PriPri art book arrived today. I was hoping it would be a little more premium for the price, for some reason the product pictures gave me the impression it would have a slipcase or something, kinda like how the flowers art book came in that beautiful container. It's just a paper sleeve over the book though, a little disappointing but its still nice. Amazon shipped it in a brown paper mailer bag with no padding though and it got dinged up a bit, so I learned my lesson to order multiple items so they can't fit things in a bag. It's already out of stock again so this must have been another small print. Wish there were more yuri art books to get, I love looking at them.

>>3328148
Resorted to CD Japan since bank's saying that Amazon didn't even try to charge the card. Might be a bug I've heard about where Amazon mistakenly shows international shipping as available when it's actually not — especially since previously the magazine did show as unavailable for AmazonGlobal. Tried Honto as well but while ordering they just randomly blocked my account even though I've used them before. Oh well, if there's one thing that's worth the trouble of trying a dozen different stores, it's Yurimaru's projects.

While Konbu Wakame's books are still blocked on Amazon after two months, I received my copies from CDJapan.
I had no custom taxes on the delivery, probably because it was under the minimum import to apply taxes.
The shipment is a lot higher than Amazon but there is no comparison with Amazon's package. While Amazon just throw the books in a big ass package with just a little bit of paper that won't keep them in their place resulting in ripped obi, CDJapan put it in a little box of the just right size and more importantly inserted the books in a plastic bubble envelope.

I've also received my order of december from Amazon and with it I decided to buy also the novels of Urasekai picnic because I'm loving the manga more and more and I wanted to support the original work too.
You can see in the pic what I received.
The cover of the second volume is completely different from the original, i have no idea where they got it.
I contacted immediately Amazon because it's clearly different from what it's showed on its page
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4150313016/
Here Amazon's answer:

That's the promotional cover (obi replacement) for the anime. If you look under it, the original cover should be there too. Or at least that's what my copy was like.

I'm posting this to warn people interested in buying it now that the anime will start in a few days. Apparently what happened to me may happens to other and we must wait the result of their "investigation" that we have no way to know since it can be ordered right now.

I'm also surprised by the phrase
>I would appreciate if you could consider to purchase the same item from other store
They're just straight up saying to go buy it elsewhere, it's like they don't care about selling stuff.
People I know that buy stuff from my country's Amazon always say how Amazon is the best thing ever, with high discount and they immediately refund stuff over a minimal defect, while I keep having bad experiences with japanese Amazon. Never a discount in all the years I'm buying from them and they won't even refund the damaged books. Here the answer about the ripped obi:
>Obi is considered as not a part of the item at Amazon.co.jp, it's a part of the packing. Even you are a collector, we are unfortunately unable to replace, refund for the item.
I don't even care about the obi but since it's shipped with it I'd like to have it in the shape it was meant to be.
>not a part of the item, it's part of the packaging
Are they for real?

>>3334245
I'd rank CDJapan as just below Honto in terms of packaging quality. I was very pleased with the care CDJapan took in wrapping everything up and filling voids with crumpled paper so nothing could move around. Amazon has been relatively good to me recently and shrinkwraps all my books to a cardboard palette so nothing moves, but the few times they haven't done that resulted in many tragic obi casualties.

>>3334266
I never even bother trying to get replacements for obi damage. It is disappointing though, especially when I bought a few copies of yuri I really liked and they all came with rips. I probably should've sent a complaint when they sent a box of 20 books without any packaging material at all and everything was damaged.
>otherside
Every time an anime started amazon has sold an exclusive bundle for the LN/manga and I always kick myself for already owning the series involved. This is the first time I didn't already have the series and now they don't have an exclusive listed. I'm hoping in the next 2 months they'll bundle everything and include some art cards or something so I can get something exclusive from this series.

What forwarding companies have you been using that have DHL available? All the ones I used to use primarily offered EMS which is still blocked.

The Oyako Anthology promoted by Taiyaki is now up for preorder at melonbooks. There will be two editions:
- Standard / 1430 yen - Includes the book and 1 postcard (selected randomly from a total of 12 available)
- Special / 4950 yen - Includes interchangeable cover, table-top calendar, and 3 conmemorative mugcups

The special edition is build-to-order so only preorders will be able to get it. Samples of the special goods still haven't been released.

I'll consider it if they show samples but 5k yen + fees is a lot so those momcest cups better be amazing. Also why doesn't the special edition include the entire postcard set, I am starting to hate melonbooks even if you get their exclusive shit you miss out on their exclusives.

Melonbooks is doing a campaign consisting on a raffle where you can get a book serialized from the Comic Bavel R-18 magazine signed from the author. In the second preorder period (1/4~1/11) the two tankoubons released by syou are available:

>百合の蕾が咲く頃に
and
>百合の蕾に唇触れて

Winners will be selected from all people who made an order starting from 1/12 and non-winning orders will be cancelled. They don't specify the number of winners per book, though.

Details: https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/tags/index.php?tag=BAVELCOMICS%E6%8A%BD%E9%81%B8%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E6%9C%AC%E5%8F%97%E6%B3%A8%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2%E4%BC%9A

>>3338212
So you have to order from that page specifically? I'd probably mess it up and end up ordering the unsigned versions.

>>3338223
Yes, just make sure you are ordering the version with サイン本 in the title.

>>3338132
Hopefully the regular version will be available on Amazon on some point. Or I might have to finally look into using melonbooks/forwarding in general.

>>3338383
Be careful, since you still have time, because then may end up being in a neverending spiral of wanting every single shitty flyer and 1k yen keychains released as bonus.

>>3338392
It's all so tempting. The only thing I dislike is the exclusives usually being spread out over many different stores, so I'd have to look into multiple websites.

>>3338392
I started to fall down that hole. I spent 10,000 yen on random yuri merch this week and it was way too easy to get lost in temptation. Everything and anything with yuri art on it is like crack to an addict at this point.

>>3338442
What kinda merch?

>>3338465
I'll share pictures when it all arrives. The low point was when I bought a clear file and realized that after shipping fees it would cost way more than I thought when I impulse bought it.

Just one mug? Why bother if it isn't a mother & daughter mug set? I buy a lot of overpriced yuri stuff but even I am struggling to justify spending over 8k yen to import a single mug and a paper calendar.

And these are the 12 postcards of the standard edition. For each purchase one postcard is included, randomly selected.

>>3345603
>>3345605
It's cute but I'm not 5k yen + forwarding fees worth of excited for it, I could make that mug from any mug printing shop for cheap and I'm disappointed with the lazy art for it The calendar and clear file art is nice at least. If the standard edition didn't only get 1 of 12 cards randomly it would be an easy decision to just get that one. Also for a momcest series very few of those cards look like enough of an age gap/familial resemblance to me. Inui ayu, yoshimura kana and kasuga sunao are my favorites at first glance and with my luck I'd get stuck with one of the other ones. I'm not familiar with 鳥居すみ but the illustration looks nice.

>>3345605
That 7th one is really good. Must be frustrating when they're randomly selected.

>>3345603
desu the most interesting thing to me in this edition is the exclusive reversible cover. The mug ended up being quite disappointing, and it's a shame that the postcards aren't included in the special edition. I'll probably end up picking the normal one...

>>3345618
It made me more undecided knowing the calendar has all the art that would be on the cards. 3500y more for a mug (1k yen), calendar (1.5k yen), clearfile (500y) and secret cover edition (500y?) of the book is a steep premium though. If it was only 4k yen I'd probably get it. Am I enough of a hopeless yuri buyfag to burn cash on it anyway? Probably.

>>3345624
If I had to *just* pay the 5k yen I'd probably end up getting it, but the increase in forwarder fees because of the increased weigh due to the special items, and the fact that the included goods would make this package ineligible for reduced book VAT in my country makes me pass on getting this edition

>>3345635
How much would melonbooks charge for shipping it anyway? I've only ordered a couple things from them but they were small things. If it was 5k yen for the set + 1k for domestic shipping + 3k for forwarding then it becomes a crazy proposition.

>>3345642
Considering only takuhaibin is available for preorders, 700 yen.

Do /u/ have any experience with forwarding yuri with FedEx versus DHL? I've had good luck with DHL from amazon japan but I've never had FedEx do an international delivery before. DHL is charging 650y more than FedEx in the estimate and I've already been bled dry by the forwarding company so I figure I'll try to save what I can so I can spend it on yuri instead. Any reason why I shouldn't trust fedex with my yuri?

>>3345624
>>3345618

According to a bunch of tweets Taiyaki just posted, the calendars are apparently segregated so you can tear off the postcard part once the calendar section has served its purpose.

i've used zenmarket recently, and they shipped items together when they could. items arrived really quick and nicely packed too.

>>3350516
Do they recalculated the shipping weight before charging for shipping? If I have 10 items each with their own box and packaging material then the consolidated box is going to weigh significantly less when they consolidate the boxes and buy a shipping label, but the shipment page looks like it doesn't take that into account.

Is there any forwarder (not proxy) that allows shipping packages as "printed matter"? This category allows packages up to 5 kg at "small packet" prices provided that the contents qualify as printed matter (books, magazines, etc.) Honto ships like this but I'd like to take advantage of this kind of shipping for books from other stores.

https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/service/printed_matter_en.html

>>3354602
Probably just have to hope that toranoana can get more stock of the volume since you can't buy the card separately. Or just buy it on an auction site, usually someone resells illustration card exclusives for 500-1000y.

>>3356247
The only way to take part in the promotion would be buying things for yourself to a forwarder with your own Melonbooks account until you meet the conditions to get enough points. But at 1k per point you'd need to buy a fuckton of books to qualify for some of the most expensive merch.

Which items are you having problems with? I frequently order manga from Amazon Japan and I haven't experienced any problems lately.

>>3359009
I don't go to those places but my guess is that most people who import recent released manga are only getting big name series that wouldn't be blocked or could simply buy it from local import shops in their country instead since they stock that stuff. There are an incredibly small number of people importing all the released yuri from amazon in general, probably well under 100 worldwide just based on how incredibly slow the stock counters change for some of them. At that scale I just don't see how anyone ever makes enough noise to get it fixed.

I absolutely loved it so I bought the LNs and manga without a second thought. I put it off for a long time too because of the quasi isekai premise but it ended up not being what I expected at all. Turns out it is the perfect escapist fantasy world which sparks the imagination. The MCs are great and the romance plot moves at a quick pace just like the central story. I wouldn't sleep on it any longer if I were in your shoes.

I'm considering buying the Koufuku Graffiti volumes, since someone in the general thread said it had some developments. Has anyone in this thread actually read it? Does it actually get /u/?

君と綴るうたかた1 already went out of stock while I was waiting for amazon to unfuck the other books, now I'm sad I missed a first printing of yuri I liked.

>>3360955

Any clue what day this is coming out? I was hoping to make the order when its not a preorder so I could group it with other stuff and save on shipping.

okay thats bizarre, i usually use buyee for buying second hand out of print items and usually there is a message saying i cant bid on 18+ items due to unlikely to get through customs and what not, but unless its just a coincidence on the items ive looked at today it doesn't seem to be there anymore. which is funny since jlist got called out sending 18+ goods to my country and wont ship down under anymore.

>>3362710
End of February, the specific day hasn't been decided as far as I know.

>>3362937
Figures it would be the worst time. If I wait that long my other items will go out of stock, I already missed out on a few things lately because I was trying to optimize the shipping. I guess I'll just preorder it and hope they pick a cheap shipping option.

>>3362733
Nevermind, looks like its either more leniant or a coincidence, as i did find items that were prohibited, yet still found lewd examples that didn't have the warning or blocking bidding entirely. so yeah possibly things are slipping through their system or they are being more leniant.

>>3363458
Don't go to jail for importing forbidden yuri even though it would probably be worth it. Or send it to me and I'll start a yuri black market so no one on the planet would have to suffer an oppressive lack of yuri ever again.

Why does melonbooks say メール便OK! (容量 : 20%) but they hide the add to cart button and replace it with a confirm inventory button? Is it actually in stock for delivery like it says or is their stock counter useless?

メール便OK just means that the item is within the size/weight range that is accepted by standard postal mail, is has nothing to do with the available stock. If the confirm inventory button appears (also at the top 売り切れ will be displayed) the item is out of stock (at least for online shopping).

Importing is way more expensive than I anticipated. Thought the cost to send heavy boxes of books to my house would be a good indicator of what I'd be spending but I just put a box together which was only 1.5kg and not that large but the cheapest option is 6k yen which is basically double what I spend to import a similarly sized box of books. I sent a ton of yuri to the forwarding address and this is only 1 of 3 shipments I planned so now I get to reflect on the stupidity of how much money I'm wasting on shipping this stuff.

I can't say how much I'm hating Amazon.
I don't know if I should wait more (until when?) or start ordering at least the available stuff.

I've also just seen that the items in my wishlist have a "ships to my country" line (never noticed before, is it a new thing?) but I can't add them to my cart and when I go to the page of those items I see the usual "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Choose a different delivery location."

I did the same and even though my order only has released yuri tanks, it still says it isn't shipping until March because a few of the books went temporarily out of stock while waiting. I miss SAL and EMS.

>>3367243
On amazon's item page it will say costs (x) yen + (y) shipping if its available for you. For instance a random tank I clicked costs 737y + 1505y meanwhile galette v16 costs 2500y + 1730y shipping. The base shipping cost is applied (1300-1400ish) and then the per-item cost is added based on whatever item it is so the tank adds a smaller amount (150ish) per item and galette sized items add about twice as much (300ish). I've seen a lot of artbooks get assigned a 4k yen shipping price for whatever reason so you'd see over 2.5k added to your shipping bill just by adding one of those even if you have a dozen other items ordered with it. It may be cheaper getting the artbook from somewhere else.

Finally managed to grab one unit that appeared in stock today of pic related after more than one year of following this doujin at second hand stores.

I was finally able to purchase stuff that was blocked for overseas shipping on Amazon JP until mere minutes ago, so I suggest everybody who had issues until now to go check for their items.

I just tried and everything was still blocked.

>>3369262
Sorry, I'm not up to date with that one, I've read only the first three volumes, I bought the other ones because they're all special edition with some extra but it's not on top of my priorities, they are in the pile of stuff to read together with other 100+ volumes. I have a shitton of LN to read and they take a lot of time.

>>3368938
Except for 彼女のイデア 3 and 君と綴るうたかた(1), which I believe are actually out of stock, everything else, plus Namekawa 2 and AriOto 3, are now available, at least for me, just placed my order.

Still not sure if I want to buy なきごえ聞かせて? かなでさん (1). Even though the married/cheating aspect is normally an instant no for me there really isn't any yuri that delivers anything like this so my gut wants to support it, but my heart is telling me this is the type of series I inevitably orphan on my shelf when a future volume sucks the fun out of it.

>>3371622
Fuck your moms.

>>3372410
>伊勢さんと志摩さん
I didn't remember why I didn't buy this so I searched the raws and I don't see anything yuri in it, actually they keep talking about boys and boyfriends. It looks full hetshit.

>ALTDEUS:Beyond Chronos Decoding the Erudite
What is this?

>spoiler
Heh, Galette. Plus discontinued serialization for some issues. But it's worth the wait, it's the only decent series on Galette.

>なきごえ聞かせて? かなでさん
I will definitely pass. And I'll pass also other stuff in your list like the friend's mom one.
I'm also thinking about dropping 異種族女子に○○する話, too many dick jokes.

Among Kirara's release there are みわくの魔かぞく 2 and さかさまロリポップ 2.

>>3372975
>Among Kirara's release there are みわくの魔かぞく 2 and さかさまロリポップ 2.
What should one expect from these two, given that they're Kirara?

>>3372975
>伊勢さんと志摩さん
Thanks for noticing that, I honestly didn't even remember reading the first one and threw it on my list because I had the first volume and knew the author did yuri so I didn't look into it at all. I'll have to dig into that before I order it now so I don't make a mistake.

>ALTDEUS:Beyond Chronos Decoding the Erudite
A supposedly subtexty yuri VR game is getting this LN spinoff that is supposedly going to also have yuri. Complete mystery if it pays off but its on yurinavi and I'm intrigued by the novelty of it so I won't be too disappointed if it turns out to be disappointing.

>なきごえ聞かせて? かなでさん
I want to see bullying though. It's such a tough call.
>friends mom
This one is totally harmless since the mom has been single, there's zero drama, art is good and its funny.
>異種族女子に○○する話
I noticed the jokes are getting repetitive and veering off course in unsatisfying ways as well. The pull of having incomplete series on my shelf and the enjoyment of the good chapters outweighs that, for now.

>>3373042
さかさまロリポップ is by Kasuga Sunao, it's about sisters so it's difficult to expect them to be dating by the end but it still has a lot of gay shit going on, just like most Kirara's series that ends in nothing, sadly.
The first volume of みわくの魔かぞく was very gay too and an anon posted a page with a kiss in the general thread just some days ago >>3367704 so maybe there's hope for this one.

>>3373140
I read the chapters of 伊勢さんと志摩さん on yurinavi, the second chapter was really terrible, I can't believe they try to sell that kind of shit to people who wants yuri.

>its on yurinavi
Be careful with that, it's not really proof of anything. They promote even shit like Satanophany because it has a yuri sex scene after 150 chapters of hetrape.

>mom
I just can't into moms. Probably I wouldn't be able to like them even if they were iPS cells kind of moms. Also the guy and his friends are annoying and repetitive.

>The pull of having incomplete series on my shelf
I totally understand, but sometimes it's just better to let it go. I still regret not dropping Murciélago and now I've just finished reading the 17th volume that has more dicks than boobs.

>>3373140
>伊勢さんと志摩さん
The final chapter is free on the reader and it literally ends with a fistbump. I'm tired of adults life stories where the adults don't display attraction beyond the platonic level.

My last Amazon JP package arrived with all books dented due to zero protective packaging. They have always shipped books to me fixed to a cardboard base with a plastic film and the books arrive safely this way but this time they just threw them into one of those flimsy paper envelopes without any packaging whatsoever.

Not going to bother with contacting customer support just for this but it's a bit of a bummer.

>>3375809
i'm sorry anon

>>3375809
Sucks anon, most of us had the same thing happen once or twice. International shipping is expensive and they may refund you partially or just send replacements. Should at least contact them to say they fucked up the packaging for your order so they learn how to pack things without destroying them.

The school zone acrylics were my main goal and were what set me off on this import spree. They're sizable and look great. The pictures I took didn't do them justice because the clear shiny aspect of them is hard to capture so I just used the picture when they weren't put together yet. The keychain is going with the rest of my yagakimi displays. I wanted to get more yagakimi acrylics but people are asking crazy prices for them now, I felt lucky to get this one without getting ripped off.

Found a few figures which I couldn't resist getting. Sadly I can't find a Nina figure to go with Lion. There's no Kureha figure out there that I can find either which is a shame because her posing with her hunting rifle is perfect figure material. The quality for these figures is surprising too, especially Lion's hair. It has about two dozen individual strands all separate and it looks amazing. I couldn't get Lulu to fit in the stand when I took the picture but she is standing now, had to bend the leg to get the peg to go in which was scary. I actually feel like her sitting pose works for her though. I'll post a price breakdown later so anons can see how ridiculous it is to import a few small things.

Bought everything using zenmarket which was initially very user friendly and fast to set up but I realized quickly that the fee structure was weighted poorly to take advantage of multiple items.
>School zone acrylic stand
1980 yen + 198 domestic shipping
>Yuri kuma arashi figures
810 yen + 1440
>HinaLogi figure
980 yen + 400
>20 lilies
2200 yen + 180
>yagakimi keychain
800 yen + 120
>clear file (not pictured)
100 yen + 180
Item cost (6870) + Domestic shipping (2518) = 9388 yen
Fees: 2400 yen
DHL shipping: 5790 yen
Total: 17600y
The domestic and import shipping cost and fees (10708) cost more than the items (6870) by a large margin. Even though I managed to get everything for a reasonable price the true cost added up quickly. I'd do it again in a heartbeat though. These are the first 6 items I ordered before I switched to another service and bought about 20 more things which are still waiting in warehouse. I won't have those for another month but I'll share how much they ripped me off when I get it.

>>3378548
Doesn't allow for combining orders?

>>3379743
They were all from different auction sellers so domestic shipping couldn't be combined, but the proxy consolidated the orders into one box for international shipping.
