My only problem is that I seem to be having trouble finding where to purchase these things in Japanese. I found Kanji Sonomama on eBay… for $90… OUCH.

So I suppose what I’m getting at is what are your online resources for buying things in Japanese?
Good place to buy Japanese text Manga?
Want to sell me your used Japanese DS games?

:D

I like to play shogun 2, but that is only has voice over Japanese, so I don’t learn much if any from that. Other than that I play yet it moves on Japanese
Here is a screenshot, no furigana, but thankfully there is alot of katakana :P

Japanese games might not be cheap there, but definitely cheapter than 90$. They also have manga and books. And free international shipping if you buy stuff for over 39$ iirc (that’s eligible for free international shipping).

So I’ll vouch for BK1 as well. Oh and they pack very thoroughly.
