Original Manga
I don't know much Japanese, I can read some, but nothing too complex. I've heard most manga are really simple to read, so I'd like to see if it's true, and anyway I'd like collecting them.
Can somebody suggest any webstore to get manga in their original Japanese editions? |

It's really difficult to find online shops that sell original Japanese manga because translated manga are much more in demand now.
But you can go to Sasuga Books to find original manga. I discovered them in '98/'99 and they were very reliable and kind. I haven't bought from them in a long time but I don't think their company ethics have changed. They usually have most of the current and older manga but you can also place special request orders too. Another option is to go to Amazon Japan. They're the Japanese version of Amazon.com. You have to set up a new account there and then you can order Japanese books, DVDs, and music and have it shipped anywhere in the world. You can even view the site in partial English. The only problem is: if you don't know how to type the manga's title in Japanese in the search box, you'll get only English translated manga results. That's all I can provide from my knowledge. Manga is easy to read if you know a little Japanese and it also great that there are hiragana notes next to the kanji characters too. This is extremely helpful for those who want to start off reading a little Japanese. Hope this helps a little.

https://www.yesasia.com/ they offer free shipping
https://www.nippon-export.com/ https://www.animaxis.com/ - large selection, but issues often out of stock https://www.whiterabbitpress.com/ - very small manga selection, but some of them are bilingual Japanese/English (they have the Death Note you were talking about at the moment) |
