Do any of you know of a good online store that sells somewhat obscure manga at reasonable prices? Big criteria there, I know, but I ask because I'm well... *slaps badge on chest* >O</ My name is Kokoro Daisuke and I have a problem, for I am suffering from Tactics withdrawls.

I've visited the local Japanese bookstores and I've been unable to track down volumes 5 and 6 of Tactics. x_X; So I was hoping those of you who buy untranslated manga would know of a place I could look. Also: Is there any fairly consistent time lapse between when a tankoubon is released in Japan and when it arrives here in the States?

You could try http://www.animegamersusa.com

Kinokuniya lists volumes 4-5, presuming you mean the Blade Comics version. Though their website puts JP books in Japanese, the store will respond to English questions.

As for how long it takes to get in the JP volumes Kinokuniya has told me they can order it the day it becomes available in Japan, and shipping is the only time factor...

O.o wow, I had no idea Anime Gamers carried Tactics~ *lives 45 minutes away from the store* I shall have to drop in more often, then!

=3; But until I can, I think I shall look into special ordering volume 6 from Kinokuniya. ^_^ Thank-you both for your help!
