Yes, but I usually settle with the 100 Yen doujinshi.

Generally, although not in this case, I don't see any use in buying full price things in Japan. You can get most interesting stuff through internet shopping. The deals are where it's at.

I'd imagine that with doujin shops in particular, they'd perhaps even move out of the way if they see a foreigner taking pictures, because it isn't at all customary for us to censor out peoples' faces, and so they don't want to have an image of themselves clearly in a doujin shop being distributed by god knows who.

Depends. Most shops are small and can go from packed, to empty, to packed again in ten minutes. As for photos, many Japanese ignore the practice of asking permission too, but mostly in huge crowd settings.

If they get out of your way there is just as much chance it's to let you take a good shot.

there's a couple of online shops like mandarake that have somewhat of a collection of well-known doujinshi.

That shouldn't be a huge problem. Books and paper publications are usually dealt with easier, and in general you should be able to get a certain amount of total value in purchases through, tax-free.

The problem is weight which is restricted on most international flights. Doujinshi is made of paper and the weight starts to add up pretty quickly. You have to pay extra for amounts over your limit, and if you've bought two suitcases full then you will probably pay at least twice your airfare. You will be asked to pay this at the airport before they even let you board the plane.

Some customs in the E.U. also make a huge deal about technology, like cameras, laptops, iPhones, and unless you can prove you bought it before you left, you have to pay import tax.

When you purchase stuff that needs to be shipped into the E.U. you have to pay the shipping fare and you have to pay tax on top of that.

many online ebay sellers don't write the correct value on the package, which means they avoid tax all together when shipping into Europe. I've seen it a couple of times when buying from Asia, though it's bound to go wrong some day.

Yes they are very iffy about technology. To the point that you're only allowed to take like 3 watches with you unless you can prove they are actually yours. Talking about free trade. Is it not obvious all these import taxes stimulate copying across the internet

When I went to Japan on a buying trip, I took with me inside my luggage some empty boxes, shipping tape, and shipping materials. After I bought stuff, I packed it up and shipped the paper type heavy items via slow mail. That way, I could carry the delicate or expensive items in my personal luggage on the trip back home.

>>6380335
>implying I'd buy lolishit

Most of the stuff in the doujin shops will contain stuff that is loli-prosecutable if it were converted into live-action people. Just pray that you get over there to buy stuff before the next Republican president can push one of the party's agenda items to have all porn (live-action and illustrated) prosecuted under the same laws. When that day comes, your ex-friend or ex-girlfriend could simply turn you in for possession. It doesn't matter if you were convicted or not because simply having an accusation on your police record for child porn looks bad. It's only if you are convicted that you have to register as a sex crime offender wherever you move to.

Scroll down to the bottom for the info. A bit expensive because it's EMS only shipping plus a 1000 yen charge per order, but still cheaper than using a proxy service. You can't buy adult stuff though... but music, plushies, t-shirts, whatever, they have a ton of stuff.

follow >>6388756's instructions, sending stuff through mail when on holiday is somehow so much easier than taking it with you on aeroplanes. Especially because most airlines see luggage as a HUGE milking cow for cash

>EMS only shipping
WHY!? Seriously, WHY!? Not only is SAL way cheaper, a certain Hong Kong-based shop(*) basically ships for free, and most of the times it isn't much slower than EMS.
What is the problem for Japanese shops to do the same?

(*) If anyone can recommend similar places, I'm all ears.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 3 20:07:05 2010 No.6393054 >>6393044 I haven't had any problems with it so far. 2 weeks transportation time at most - writing from West Europe. 1999 was a problem once, but I guess that was since they had newly introduced SAL.

To be honest I think the reason so many Japanese shops use EMS is because of the tracking. They're freaked out by the idea that someone could complain their package didn't arrive and have to deal with arguing in English. It's a pain but better than nothing.

To be honest SAL is pretty bad, sometimes you can get lucky and its super fast, but every now and then your package will take MONTHS, and probably be pretty battered when it arrives.

The real option is the in-between airmail. It's only a couple bucks more than SAL. Only place I shop at that uses it is CDJapan though.

I used to order SAL a lot and my average was about 3 weeks. But the one time it took 3 months was enough for me to opt the extra 2 bucks or whatever for air mail.

I had a package arrive almost wrecked from amazon before though, which was EMS. I just try to avoid shopping there anymore.. There is a reason the japanese call it konozama...
