They are likely going to send you the real thing but it looks like the reseller tax is high since the 2nd one is only 8800 yen.
https://www.towatsugai-stage.com/
https://charazz.com/SHOP/243820/list.html
>>
>>4261632
The first one was also 8800 yen.
https://charazz.com/SHOP/ST-TOW-001.html
But it's out of stock so what else can I do?
I don't get this 予約商品, is it printing on demand? Won't I be able to get it when it will be released in February if I don't order it now?
Usotsuki Satsuki is in the same situation too.
https://lifetunes-mall.jp/shop/g/gK20240030/
After selling 7 volumes normally now I don't know what I need to do to get the last two volumes.
>>
>>4261866
If you don't order the 2nd stage play before the window closes it will be out of stock and you will most likely need to order from a reseller again unless they do a reprint. Preorder windows are usually a good sign that something is going to be a pain in the ass to get after the fact. I don't know much about the usotsuki satsuki manga but I don't see it being listed on any other retailers so if this is the only place that is going to sell it you should just go for it now because it is much more likely to go out of stock forever than to linger in stock forever. I've seen japan print on demand for doujin but the price is usually twice as high because there is no order volume margin to benefit from. Usually places will place a single print run and it sells out forever after that is depleted unless they think it did well enough to sell out a 2nd print run. There's no way to guarantee that outcome so always order things early if you don't want to risk missing it.
>>
>>4262006
You must take into consideration we have to use a third party to get that stuff. And I have no idea how it would work in a situation like this. Do proxies offer this kind of service? Order (and pay, I guess) now for something that they will receive months in the future?
>>
>>4262013
Yes all forwarders and proxy services would be able to do this without any issue. You will pay upfront and they will receive it whenever it ships to them. Then they notify you that it arrived, at which point their warehouse timer kicks in and you'd have X amount of days to combine it with other orders or just have it sent by itself.
>>
>>4262021
Well, that's another problem with this situation, other than paying for something that doesn't even exist yet, they will ship it when it'll be ready so you can't decide by yourself when to buy it and you may end up paying a very expensive international shipping for a single item. Very annoying.
Ironically it may be cheaper to wait and buy from an overpriced reseller when you'll have enough stuff to justify an international shipping.
Buying stuff has become very stressful.
>>
>>4262037
I saw SasaKoi's stage is released on January so we can buy that and Towa Tsugai II together if the proxy service offers a 60 days free storage.
But I can't find a link to order it.

Fuck this shit. Sellers keeping up links for stuff they don't even have.
The seller I contacted also said
>場合によってはキャンセルになる可能性がございます
I don't know what 場合によって refers to, if they don't have it they better refund it immediately.
Any hope it will be reprinted? Did it ever happened for other stage plays? YagaKimi is still on stock after all these years. Or at least I hope they are because it's been two weeks since I ordered them and I haven't received them yet.
>>
The yen is starting to rise quickly. Everything is 10% more expensive than it was just a month ago. The yuri purchase power in the last two year was truly wonderful though and it allowed me to buy rare and unique yuri goods that I normally couldn't afford. Probably won't stay so ridiculously cheap for much longer so a good idea to stock up now if you were holding out on anything.

I hope the pop up store trend takes over the lottery method. At least pop up stores have mostly been available online after the shop sale period ends, meanwhile I have never won what I wanted from those damn lotteries. So many can badges and keychains I don't know what to do with.

Not that anon you're talking to, but damn that Konohana Kitan picture is beautiful. I want to buy the acrylic stand of it when one pops up online.
I felt like Amano had originally turned down the yuri a bit when the series moved to Denshi Birz and included some whenever she got the chance. However, it's definitely ramped back up and I wouldn't be surprised to see a kiss between one of the now numerous couples in the actual manga soon (not counting the one from the bonus chapter.)

True. Last month I spent $50 to ship a bunch of stuff I bought through zenmarket. Coincidentally it was all Konohana Kitan character goods too, including these smartphone holders. I only intended to buy the Yuzu x Satsuki stand, but I couldn't find one being sold alone, so I just bought the set.

If EMS went back to pre-covid prices it would be so cheap to get since tapestries are very light weight items. I am disappointed at how little EMS prices changed after japan reopened.

Is Tae-chan to Jimiko-san 3 released at the end of the month? I saw it listed on a couple of stores like Animate and Melonbooks, but I can't find it on Amazon (they've blocked all R18 even with a japanese IP and japanese address, the only explanation is they're blocking users with Visa/Mastercard) and it's not listed in OP's releases lists for August but they have 咲き乱れるは百合の花.

Well, fuck them. If you try to use their forwarder partner it calculates a 880 yen domestic shipping which is already higher than the cost of the volume, a 159 yen fee for the forwarder (at least this is cheap) and an international shipping of 3000 / 4000 yen. No, thanks.

Look around for shop exclusives of series you like on melonbooks, gamers, mangaoh, and similar sites. For example, Inukai Anzu's new releases.
https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=2489170

If I search for 過去作まとめ買い non-yuri stuff shows up too, if I search under the yuri tag I can't find a way to search by text.
Though authors sometimes do 総集編 so it'd be better to wait for them, but it's impossible to say if they will and if the series is over or they will make more and while you wait everything goes out of stock.

insane how theres almost no merch for sasameki koto, and the few it does have is just odd stuff like pillow cases, it doesnt even have a clear file. It also doesnt have an official english dvd/bluray release and the official english manga release is the worst official release ive ever seen, with first-time scanlators doing a better job.

I don't know about マダラランブル. The random male groper is a very annoying trope that shouldn't even exist, I can't trust an author who pulls this shit.
The two YH releases this month are equally bad in terms of yuri, you won't miss anything. I know I'm going to buy the sometime's one because I'm autistic but that's an even worse start than Houkago saitensei.
咲き乱れるは百合の花 has that absolutely disgusting toy chapter that is making me hesitate. The rest is very good but unlike my folder on PC where I deleted that chapter pretending it never existed, I can't do the same with the tank. Though I'm buying Tae-chan and Jimiko-san that has all those chapters with mothers. My standards lowered too much. Why is it so difficult to write a proper yuri?
Both yurinavi and ohrandoh have 好きな子のいもうと listed but somehow they don't have the third volume of Ubaware even if they've been promoted and released together, so weird, they really risk to make you lose something.

The last time I shipped one book by itself it cost around $10 for shipping and fees. Whenever it costs over 30k yen in shipping and fees the box being shipped is very large and packed full at 10-15kg. Was your 47k yuri made out of lead?

>>
>>4284449
24 volumes, 1 cd, 4 dvd.
The dvd alone are 30799 yen.
The package is 8,1 kg.
4090 yen for local shipment (and some of them had free shipment), 9500 yen for ZenMarket's fee (500 yen for item even if they're shipped together), 23404 yen for international shipping, a discount of 4011 yen I was lucky to get.
And I still have to add the custom taxes that will probably be around 90 €, those geniuses added the cost of the shipment to the invoice so I'll have to pay the VAT on the shipment too.
>>
>>4284445
The quote is from the image.
>>
>>4284454
I'd check the prices for other proxy buyers. 500 yen per item is fine for higher value items, but it sounds like you bought mostly books. Obviously, if you know some Japanese, ordering directly and using a forwarder will be cheaper.

The shipping cost also strikes me as being quite high. I'd generally expect around half that for that weight, but I have been able to hit similar costs through the power of tapestries, especially with DHL. As far as I know, you are supposed to include the shipping costs in VAT calculations.

Blackship did not add the shipping cost to the custom invoice. It also lets you edit the price and quantity how you want so I could save a lot of money.
I needed a proxy because I didn't want to deal with all the different stores and sellers I had to buy from.
I see now Buyee's fee seems to be a lot cheaper of ZenMarket if it really only takes 300 yen for a single order made of different items. But in the end it's the double shipment that make it unsustainable to buy stuff in this way.

But can I activate a japanese number in any 3rd world shithole around the world? Can someone spoonfeed me on the process? No way to just buy a working esim and get it automagically working in seconds?
>>
>>4284843
i don't know if it's possible to get a working esim, but for physical sim that can receive sms look for au data plan with international roaming, choose the cheapest plan(3gb). You can find them on Amazon jp. it's around 6k yen per year.

A lot of stores have free domestic shipping if you buy enough at once. For sure, you have to pay attention to things like domestic shipping charges, forwarder/proxy fees, and product sizes and weights when buying this way.

In theory it should show there is a market for goods etc. But in practical reality everyone knows there is, they're just too lazy to capitalise on it. So sure, it helps. But buying manga to make sure things stay in print probably helps a lot more.

Like >>4284880 said the absolute best option for supporting a series is always buying the manga's print edition, especially on release week. That boosts the metric that publishers use to determine whether a series will get more volumes and may prevent them from sharpening the axe for a few months. This is for the japanese edition only. Buying anything licensed will send very little if any of that profit to the mangaka and doesn't help the series stay alive. Blurays are stupidly expensive in japan costing 10x as much as they do anywhere else so your ability to buy will be very limited. Most bluray series cost around 25,000 to 50,000 yen to complete (2-3 episodes per BD is common) meanwhile you could buy around 50 books for the same price. Importing figures is also expensive because the boxes are huge, plus there are not many figures to choose from to begin with. Good smile has been releasing more yuri character figures lately for good prices but most of those are usually available without importing since GSC sells direct to many regions by default. In the end its better to look into what is available and buying what you actually want to own the most rather than trying to min/max your yuri charitable donations.

Took a look at the blu rays.
Jesus fucking Christ
Guess I am not gonna be supporting animes any time soon.

I always buy all the yuri BDs but I do wonder how useful that is. Many mangaka said the best way to support them is to buy the volumes like >>4284927 said, despite BDs making a lot more out of a single piece so I'm afraid it all goes in greedy producers' pockets that don't care about yuri and don't see any difference from any other anime so I'm not really helping yuri by buying them.
>>
>>4284949
Even the publisher of the source material is only a small fish in most anime adaptations. Its rarely worth it, especially if instead you could buy volumes of a yuri manga you actually read or buy goods during specific events (assuming you work with forwarders etc.).
>>
>>4284949
>>4284952
I definitely think supporting the actual author is first and foremost important practise, but I feel like supporting the animes is important too, to show the greedy producers there is demand for yuri, and enable more series to be made into anime.
>>
>>4284973
The committees in charge of these decisions are less influenced by profits and more by their unwillingness to question their own 30-year outdated assumptions about the market.
You're welcome to support your favorite manga/LN getting an adaptation or supporting a anime original you enjoy, but realistically its not going to convince them to make "more" any more than the yuri market as a whole growing.
So in terms of "bang for your buck" if you like, its not a good place to spend your money for yuri.

But of course, buy what you enjoy specifically instead of trying to game the system in favour of yuri which a individual buyer can't influnece anyway.
>>
>>4284947
What are some series you want to support? Chances are if it had a BD you could probably find nicer merch at a better price would be more fun to have and there are plenty of examples I could give. Also most mangaka these days have a fanbox or something similar where they post drafts, and they get almost all of that money.
>>
Buying yuri made by smaller creators like on dlsite also goes a longer way to support yuri as a market/community.
>>
subscriptions might not help the metrics but 90% of the money goes to the creators on Fanbox and Kakuyomu.

All these years and we still have to deal with these absolutely retarded subhumans that won't ever understand what yuri is. The idiotic trope of showing the mothers of the main girls having had the same relationship the main girls have but we already know it ended in shit so there's no fucking point, is already so fucking annoying but adding a random futa for no fucking reason really shows how these authors are fucked up in the head.

They say 重版 but I haven't seen these before. Are they safe? (Yuri, no hetshit, no bishit, no weird non-yuri shit in general)

I received my package from ZenMarket, everything was wrapped in bubble wrap (an insane amount of bubble wrap) but some stuff had some damage anyway, either received during the local shipment or due to bad handling on their side.
In the end I can't recommend it, way too expensive and slow. If you contact them for something they can take even more than 24 hours to reply. When I enquired them about some stuff not received after over two weeks they bought it (there is no tracking for local shipment, they only say "bought" and "at warehouse") they replied with "we received it yesterday but we need 2-3 work days to register it". There have been also three cases when they marked an item as "bought" but then they told me it was out of stock a couple of days later.
The consolidation of the packages was also slow, taking three days, but at least it's free.
They don't give you the price of the different international shipping methods, they only make you choose one and say you can change it later but you can't compare the costs to see what's better and that's bullshit.
The FAQ on the site talked about a 3% deposit fee you have to pay when you add funds on your balance but I wasn't charged anything, I don't know if it's because of my bank or what.
I don't regret using it because I absolutely needed this stuff (R18 I couldn't buy myself from Amazon, stuff that isn't on Amazon from Melonbooks, Toranoana, Booth, Galette, etc..., a couple of series that were cheaper on Rakuten/Mercari than Amazon, butai stuff that's only on the unknown site that produced them) and it's nice to register on only one site to avoid registering on all those sites and have someone deal with those sellers but the next time I'll need something I'll try Buyee. Well, I've already ordere SasaKoi's and Towa Tsugai II's butai DVD so I'll have to use it again in Februrary.

Anyway I could finally continue/close some series that were abandoned by Amazon (Kanojo no kuchizuke kansen suru libido 3, Houkago soushuuhen 2, Unicorn to sabishigariya shoujo 2) and get all the butai I wanted (the three YagaKimi's ones and, after single-handedly having made every Towa Tsugai butai DVD seller disappear from the internet, I started stalking used sites basically daily until I've found a new one that was posted only 5 hours before that was cheaper than any seller before and also included all the photobooks of the butai so I immediately ordered it and I could see it went "sold" making me fear I lost it until the status changed to "at warehouse").

I don't know about よくばれ!人間さん(1), from the free chapters available I can't say if it's yuri or just fanservice.

Weird enough, Amazon has two separated pages for those volumes with ISBN and all but they can't be purchased.
