How do you get your manga? (online, library, purchase, friends, etc.)

I read a lot of manga from the library because it does not cost me anything, but for some titles that the library does not have, I’ll purchase the series.

I am not a fan of reading manga online. I find that it’s just not the same as having a book. The only time I read a manga online is if the library does not yet have the newest volume of a series and it’s the series that I’m currently reading.

I purchase my manga, importing it from Japan. It's a must because that's the only way I have total freedom of choice in what I read. I read a few things online, but usually only when the scan group is ahead of the released volumes. The Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen series comes to mind 絶対平和大作戦 (1). I buy the volumes as well.

I get stuff from the library too - but theres always a bunch of people sitting around in front of the shelves reading, just standing there. Grrr...or, I get really into a series and then my library doesn't have some of the books to finish the series.

I agree about not wanting to read manga online. It just isn't enjoyable for me and unless I'm desperate, I avoid doing it.

I'm a big library borrower as well, but they don't always carry what I want and when I do find something I want to read, they often only have one or two volumes of a series which is really frustrating.

When I can buy manga, I buy mostly from Borders (using coupons) and Amazon because they always seem to have decent discounts.

I also do a little trading on mangatude but since I'm reluctant to give up what I have, it puts a damper on what I can get. I have found that many of the members are willing to sell manga at a decent price and have done that as well.

Walmart and Bookland

I tend to purchase most of my manga, and I'll usually buy it from Barnes & Noble or Borders, though I have purchased volumes from online vendors as well. Sometimes I do find this frustrating, particularly if it is a series I am interested in reading but have no real desire to own.

I have borrowed some series from the library, but their selection is limited, and they often don't carry the series I am interested in reading. Similarly, I have borrowed series from friends, but a lot of what my friends own I either don't care about reading or I own myself.

I've read things online, but it isn't my preferred way of doing things. I much prefer having the book in my hands. Online previews at the various publishers are nice if I want to try something without buying it first, though.

I refuse to plunk myself down in the manga section at the bookstore and start reading. That's always struck me as being rather tacky. Flip through a volume to see if it's something I may like? Sure, I'll do that. But treat the bookstore as some sort of library...no. Just no.

I remembering seeing a review by someone about how they read the Sensual Phrase series while hanging out in the Borders coffee shop because they didn't have the money to buy them. I was doubly shocked because I know that at least most of the volumes are plastic wrapped and find it hard to believe someone would think it is okay to do that.

>5 skidney1:

walmart for manga? I don't think I've ever seen manga at Walmart. Do you live in the US?

I'm not a fan of online-manga either, but sometimes I do check out the art, or the first chapters, and also if the scan-group is a ahead of the series, e.g. Nabari no Ou or Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
I still buy the series, when it does come out.
So mostly I'm a buyer, my library here probably has Naruto and that's it..

>9 zierli:

It's too bad that your library does not have manga. My library has only started to carry manga for about 3 years now and I was really surprised when they first started to carry the books. It's really great to be able to try different series and it's all free. If I had to pay to buy all the manga that I've read from the library (this is excluding what I already own) it would cost me about $3000.

>7 Jenson_AKA_DL:
From what I've heard, there's a lot of people who think nothing of removing the shrink-wrap from a manga volume, plonking themselves down in the Borders/B&N manga aisle, and reading the volume while making others maneuver around them. Might be why some bookstores are placing the manga section closer to the register.

I get most of my manga from RightStuf. Pretty good prices, especially if you can wait for a studio sale to make your orders. If there's a single volume I've just gotta have now, I'll sometimes hit Amazon.

>11 MadLudwig:

I have never heard of RightStuf before. Is it American?

>12 novelandmangacrazy:
Yep. They're online-only; their website's at www.rightstuf.com. They ship overseas, but their shipping rates are fairly pricey outside of the US and CAN.

>12 novelandmangacrazy:

I checked it out and their prices are good. The only thing is I'm not sure if I really want to pay $150 for free shipping. Maybe I'll consider it next time I want an anime series since they are a bit pricey. I just got a new anime series to watch, so maybe I'll get something later.

I've bought most of my manga in bookshops in Japan. I've gotten some through Bookmooch.com as well. I borrow from my sister/friend who own manga (but they only have English manga - doesn't matter if I just want to read it though). When I buy English manga (

>15 mene:

hmmm...Bookmooch.com, I'll have to check it out.

Were I live there are used book stores that offer some manga, but the only have about 20 books there, so the selection is really small. Last time I bought Gunslinger Girl for $5.95 CND.

I use bookmooch a lot but find it hard to get manga on there. It could just be the manga that I'm looking for isn't frequently listed. Occasionally I luck out, but not very often.

Bookmooch is fine for finding random weird manga in Japanese. English language manga tends to be very popular, so it's rare to actually successfully request a well known translated series, especially if you want volume 1 or a complete set.

When I buy English manga and put them on Bookmooch, it is most often volume 1. They get mooched pretty quickly. Currently I only have an Avatar "manga" in my inventory (and a random Japanese one, indeed), but that's just screenshots with text balloons of the first (few?) episodes of the series.

I usually purchase my manga from Amazon. They have a decent selection at decent prices and for someone who lives in a small hick town in South Dakota, it's impossible to actually go to a store and pick out manga. I do want to try shopping around other sites, though. I've really only read the popular stuff that everyone knows about (like Death Note and Naruto - although don't get me wrong, I adore both of these series) because I've never been sure of where to go to get some really good manga that's not as well known (at least, in the US). Is rightstuf.com a good site for this?

> 20

rightstuf.com is an excellent site for getting manga, especially if you take care to shop the sales (which apply to preorders as well as in stock items in nearly all cases) and make sure to hit the minimum dollar amount for free shipping. They also have a discount card program that is worth looking into if you think you'll be shopping there frequently over the course of a year.

As for choosing series to try, that really depends on your interests. I'd check around for story summaries and examples of the art. A lot of the US publishers have previews of some sort on their websites, but the quality and nature of those previews varies between publishers.

>20 RebeccaAnn:
I've heard good things about rightstuf.com but have never shopped there.

As far as finding new titles, what type of book do you like? maybe we can make some recommendations.

>22 novelandmangacrazy:: Oh geez, what books do I like? *thinks it over*

Well, I tend to read really old stuff or really new stuff. I love the classics and I've developed a new fascination with modernism and postmodernism (I'm just about to begin Auster's New York Trilogy). When I'm not trying to kill my brain, I like fantasy. I'm not big on epic fantasy. I enjoyed Anne Bishop's Dark Jewels Trilogy and The Gentlemen Bastards Sequence by Scott Lynch. So I guess more dark, dirtier stories almost.

I have noticed, however, with anime, I tend to prefer modern day or futuristic settings, and that's more or less carried over to manga. Naruto, Inuyasha, and Rurouni Kenshin are the only three I've ever watched/read that weren't modern/sci-fi. I love Gundam Wing, Trigun, and Neon Genesis Evangelion for sci-fi and for more modern day animes, I enjoyed Death Note (though I haven't finished either the anime or the manga), Loveless (nope, I'm not in any way adverse to BL, whether it be shonen ai or yaoi) and After School Nightmare. I guess these have a hint of fantasy, but not too much. The only fantasy I truly loved in anime are the films directed by Hayao Miyazaki. They're breathtaking!

I don't know if this gives you anything to really go off of, but suggestions are always welcome (because the 400 books I own that I haven't read yet will only keep me busy for five years :P )

by any chance, have you read the Hunger Games series? (novel not manga)

No I haven't, but I looked it up and it looks thrilling! It's a series I might have to look into in the future.

Her Majesty's Dog is a complete manga series which is in a modern setting with some dark overtones, it is a lot of fun. Wild Adapter is another dark and gritty modern setting series you could check out as well (since you don't mind the semi-slashy stuff).

As far as dark fantasy novels go, the first that always comes to mind to me are the Melusine books by Sarah Monette. Everyone that reads them seems to have either love it or hate it and I came in more on the love than the hate side. The Tamir Trilogy by Lynn Flewelling is another dark fantasy I'd suggest.

>23 RebeccaAnn:/25
If you think that the Hunger Games sounds interesting, you should check out Battle Royal by Koushun Takami (manga). I have technically not read the Hunger Games, but the plot line seems very similar.

If you like Jane Austen, I'd recommend that you read Emma (manga) by Kaoru Mori. The story is not at all related to Jane Austen's Emma.

Since you said that you likes Gundam Wing, I'd recommend Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny.

you may also like Code Geass.

As for a novel (not a manga) I'd recommend A woman worth ten coppers by Morgan Howell.

This is too novelandmangacrazy;

I read Hunger Games and I'm waiting very impatiently to read Catching Fire from the school library that has not yet gotten a copy. I loved the book. I'm in love with Peeta.

>29 tearsXsolitude:
tearsXsolitude since you like hunger games I would recommend Battle Royale

P.S. I just added hunger games to my tbr list :D

hey thanks for the suggestion I'll check it out!!!

tbr?

I'll second novelandmangacrazy's recommendation for Emma. As mentioned, it's nothing to do with the Jane Austen book, but it captures the feel of Victorian England quite nicely, and has some great characters.

Thanks :) I've already read Emma and I enjoyed it. I just haven't bought the Japanese books yet which are only what I list here.

>31 tearsXsolitude:
tbr stands for to be read

oh sweet i learned something new today.

>35 tearsXsolitude:
lol, I've definitely asked for the definition of abbreviations before.

I mainly buy my manga at the bookstore and if I couldn't find a certain title or volume, I buy it online.

I don't like reading manga scanlations as I cannot sit in front of the computer for a long time. I will only do it if I was really a big fan of the series and it wasn't available as graphic novels.

>37 HatsumiShinogu:
I'm the same way. I'll only read manga online if there is no way to get the book. (Emma vol 7...*cry*)

i buy/order from the local kinokuniya. i may have to start ordering from amazon.jp or SOMEwhere, because it looks like our kino is reducing their stock of manga for the labels that i read. :(

So far, rightstuf.com has had the best deals on anime and manga so thats where I'm buying my books from at the moment. I can barerly stand reading scanlations , and I refuse to read them unless there is no other way to read the series I'm trying to read. Like the two above posters mentioned, reading page after page hurts my eyes and bores me. I don't get the same feeling at all when I read online opposed to having the book in my hand.

>40 Gesicht:
I've been debating whether or not I order stuff from rightstuf.com. I'll probably just wait till after Christmas to see what I get.

I was buying mine until I realized I was spending too much money and running out of bookcase space. So now I get it from the library.

For those of you who find that your local library doesn't have the series you want, you can actually request it. The library may be able to get it from another library. Or it's possible they will purchase some of the books in the series. I work at a library and I know they often purchase books that patrons ask for.

>42 lfortino:
It's not as much about space for me, it's more about the money. I've read about $3000 worth of manga from the library.

>43 lfortino:
Ya I know, I've made requests before, but I find that my requests are often rejected because of budgeting, etc.

Yes, it's true budgeting may be a factor. I would suggest trying another library if you have one nearby. Does your library do Interlibrary Loan? It may take a little longer to get the book you want, but it helps. The good news, in my area anyway, is that libraries are starting to realize more and more the importance of having manga and graphic novels in their collections.

>45 lfortino:
Oh, my library does have a lot of manga (over 70 different series). I'm fairly certain that they do have Interlibrary Loans, but as you said it takes time, and I don't mind buying some manga (I have approx 130 volumes of manga).

OMG, I got this amazing deal on manga last Friday. I found some manga being sold at $1.25 CND each and bought all 12 volumes that were there. I got Haruka vol 1, Vampire Knight vol 3, Basilisk vol 1, and a lot of Kenshin.

i normally buy mine. I would get them from our library but we don't have many maybe 8 at the most and that's not in series form.

>47 midnightrose:
Thats too bad. Though I much prefer to own my own manga, it's very expensive. I've read about $3000 CND worth of manga from the library. It's great.

There used to be this shop in my neighbourhood. It opens till midnight and for just 2 bucks, you can read all the manga you want for one hour. That's where I get my manga fix.

That's awesome!!

>49 Teck-Loh:
Thats a very interesting business concept. What happened to the shop?

It sounds like the manga cafes they have in Japan, I was reading an article about them a couple weeks ago. I do know they were having some issues with the publishers over allowing people to read the manga because they felt it was robbing them of profits. Libraries don't have that problem because they're non-profit entities.

Well, first it just disappeared. Then like months later, it re-surfaced as an internet cafe. Purely internet with just some token copies of Hong Kong comics and magazines.

The closest manga cafe is like a train ride away. Plus I have to walk up a dirty and wet 'tower' to get to the shop, so I lost interest.

When it was in my neighbourhood, it was just like 10 minutes walk away. 10 minutes along a clean main street. That's very different from one train ride plus a walk up a dirty and wet 'tower'.

>52 Jenson_AKA_DL:
Yea, that makes sense.

>53 Teck-Loh:
lol. Too bad for the train ride plus a walk up a dirty and wet 'tower'.
It takes me about 20 minutes to walk to my library and I don't mind walking if the weather is nice. (I'm Canadian, and it can get very cold in the winter, lol)

Sadly my friends don't own much manga since they usually read online so I don't borrow much off them. The library is good but they don't have a good selection and as I am also a yaoi fangirl I can't borrow much of what I need. I buy a lot of my manga except for under a few conditions such as; if the series is still ongiong after 20 volumes, if I am planning to buy it but have no patience, if it is a yaoi with a really embarressing cover or if it hasn't yet been liscenced in English yet. Under these circumstance I would get it from online.

>55 Sorceress_rin:
I am still new to yaoi and have only read a few volumes. What are some of your favorite series?

(back to the original topic)

1. Library (I love free books)
2. Purchase (I only have about 150 volumes of manga)
3. BookMooch (I have received 8 volumes on BM)
4. Online (I've only read a few volumes online)

I love getting free books from the library. Later this month they will be doing an update of their website. I hope they add more to their manga collection.

Someone also recommended that I read Bride of the Water God (which is really good). I've been reading it online on this site:
http://manga.animea.net/
Even thought I'd rather read a book then read something online, the website is not too bad.

I buy mine from Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, or from Amazon

I mainly read my manga through work since I work at the loca library and I will also read it online. I am just getting into buying my manga through bookdepository.co.uk

I wish I had the library option... (very little choice, either at the main english library or the available french EU releases at the local french library) I either already have or have read it previously while it was being scanlated pre-license, and I tend to avoid your Naruto's and such.

As I tend to be a tad introverted, I currently don't have any local acquaintances to trade manga back and forth with.
Thus...

Purchase-wise: BULK! All the way. Thankfully I've adapted to getting even my most favourite series in chunks without jonesing too badly.

NA English releases:
rightstuf + their 33% off publisher sales + pre-orders + 10% membercard (so 40%) + $150 free canuck shipping (like a few other folk have noted)
T'was sweet to get a big hunk o' Yen Press books today that I was charged 1/1 $-wise. $6.60 CDN a book. Not to shabby.
(note to fellow canucks: if one makes a few concurrent publisher orders, take care to not pre-order anything with a release date beyond 4months, or else the recently implimented -international order 4month auto-release- changes what should be a nicely priced periodic $120-ish shipment chunk o' publisher, into a torrential hell that forces you to cancel more than not due to one's limited student visa credit max.)

Japanese releases:
Play the combine-cancel-and-reorder game at amazon.co.jp, and somehow get all your eggs in the same basket once a month to spread the initial 2700yen ($30) order charge (above the 300yen per item) so you end up spending $3.75-$4.00 shipping per item.
(yeah, there are other viable options in regards to regular jp manga volumes, like YesAsia, but I order mostly the current monthly magazines, which by default makes Amazon the only option)

And... through a Japanese proxy guy I lucked out in finding and developing an OK relationship with, allowing me the few monthly / bi-weekly periodicals I can't get via Amazon (as well as helping fill holes like certain Amazon pre-orders I make, only to have them receive -0- copies and subsequently cancel my order a week after release date... grrrr...) to build up over 3-4 months, and periodically pack up a 50lb green Japanese post bag and send it cheap via Seamail.
...

A local manga cafe would REALLY be nice to have though...

well, I buy most all my manga through Borders, but then again, I work there, and the discount is awesome! XD

and to clear up any thoughts on the plastic wrapped manga, the only reason some are plastic wrapped is because they contain things that aren't really appropriate for all ages. it doesn't matter if you take the plastic wrap off, when it comes down to it, but if you are at Borders, which has stickers for the price, just take the price sticker off the plastic and put it over the bar code of the book, cuz the sticker won't hurt the book, and the registers have an easier time scanning the sticker than the other bar code

> 60
agreed on a local manga cafe... on my end, as well. it should cut down on crazy purchases. or regrettable purchases (which i can't really foist off on other people, since they sometimes end up being the unpopular stuff i just wanted to check out... and most of my friends only follow one popular series).

as for the phonebooks.. is there a local store that you can just subscribe to? subscriptions guarantee your stuff, and can get you the 10%-15% off the monthly list price.

>60 Akashic_Librarian:
Rightstuf prices are great, but I'm not sure if I want to spend $150 at once.

>62 lilasia:
I understand the regrettable purchases part. I may re-read some of my no-so favorite manga this summer and see if I can sell it online through a local used stuff website (that way I also don't have to worry about shipping).

I purchase whenever I possibly can...although lately I've been getting burned A LOT by companies discontinuing things or going under altogether. :( I'd like to say it's made me a little more cautious about my purchasing habits...but it hasn't. Being able to remember a time when the idea of manga being licensed in the U.S. was just a fangirl's distant dream, I'm doing what I can to support the publishers that bring us all of those wonderful series because I don't want to see it go away.

Rightstuf.com is my store of choice (they have AWESOME sales!) Although if I have a gift card for a book store I'll buy things elsewhere. I also will occasionally read chapters online if they're not yet available in the U.S. so that I can stay caught up with what's going on in the story. :)

I don't have an Irewards card for Chapters, so I often buy my books from Amazon.ca. Their prices are generally better.

my boss is making me run a book club at the bookstore I work at, so I'm going to use this an an opportunity to recommend manga, and hopefully, have manga recommended to me! :)

I buy all my manga from Kinokuniya. They have a wide selection of manga in both English and Japanese, which is awesome. I also buy online sometimes.

>66 sweetandsyko:
That sounds fun. I help host an anime night once a month at my local library. You can definitely discover a lot of anime and manga that way.

If anyone here has an anime club Funimation gives free anime to clubs. It's worth checking out. Here are the available titles.
http://www.operationanime.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main.calendar

I worked at Barnes and Noble and we had kids in there all the time ripping the plastic wrap off off the manga and sitting right in the middle of the floor reading every issue we had in a series. They would be there for hours.

If it doesn't bother anyone to read online, www.onemanga.com has loads of manga to read for free online and most of the series are up to date and translated. If you use the Google Chrome browser you can download an extension that allows you to read right in an open browser window without closing your page and bookmark where you are instantly so you can can kind of sneakily read it. you can have loads of manga going at the same time too. I have 32 different series going on at once. Sorry if someone mentioned any of this already.

lately, I've been trying to figure out a better, less expensive way to get my manga. lol, I read so much, and I just can't bring myself to only read it at a library or online, online being enfuriating, I wanna turn pages faster. for me, there is just something about owning them, that I love. I am up to 1164, lmao!

I purchase my manga. It's expensive, but I like owning my books.

Like others, I don't like reading online. I like the feel of the book and being able to flip through the pages myself.

If I own my books, I can go back and look at them quickly if I need or want to. If I were reading later on in the series, for example, and had forgotten something about a thing that was just mentioned. I could jump up to my bookshelf and leaf through the earlier books.

These are my ways:
-ONLINE
-FRIENDS
-SCHOOL LIBRARY
-PUBLIC LIBRARY

>71 sweetandsyko:
what wrong with the library? you don't have to read it at the library, just bring it home.

I've purchased all my manga on amazon so far. I already have Amazon Prime which gets me the free 2 day shipping so I figured why not? Depending on the title, some even have the nice 4 for 3 deals which I try to rack up on. It could still get expensive of course.

There are a couple series I read online as well but not many.

I try to get the manga I read from the library, they've gotten a lot more mangas in the past few years which is really nice. But if it's not at the library, I do read it online, even though that's becoming harder lately with how some companies are getting sites to take the manga down. I do buy them sometimes, if I know it's a good manga that I'll want to read again (but not having a job doesn't leave me with a lot of money to buy manga).

I mainly indulge myself in manga through mangafox or onemanga (which is now closed down, sadly, oh so sadly). If it is a long series such as Hikaru no Go or FullMetal Alchemist I like to buy the actual manga. However, it is mainly all online.

onemanga gave my computer viruses

I buy them at a specialty bookstore here in Manila (Fully Booked). Since Chuang Yi Publishing started distributing manga in Asia, more titles have become available to us in English and at a prices 50% cheaper than Shojobeat, DarkHorse and Tokyopop.

>75 Squareslug:
Which manga titles did you get with the 4 for 3 deal?

20% from brick & mortar stores, 80% online.

>81 KiTTY2babe:
80% off online where?

>81 KiTTY2babe:
chapters and amazon for single volumes, ebay, kijiji (and other sale forums) for entire sets, htf and oop work.

Hmmm,

Locally-ish at bookstores or specialty shops (so I feel like I'm supporting local buisnesses) (where ever I am living or currently visiting).
Online at amazon.ca/ .fr/ .de/ .co.jp (once in a while), chapters.ca, rightstuf.com (only for big orders) (once in a while), and bookdepository.com (most of the time). It depends for the online sites which has got the best deal. I've just started bookmooch.com thanks to this site.
Sometimes at the Public Library but I neither live nor work near the only one around.
I borrow or buy from friends.
I will read online but I don't like it. Also it is a form of cyber-stealing so it makes me feel bad. And like others have mentioned there is just something about having a physical book.
I've tried 3 different ebook readers and couldn't stand them, so not until they get a lot better.

>65 novelandmangacrazy: these days there is a Plum (free) reward card for Chapters and it gives you points and discounts online, however you will only points in stores.

>60 Akashic_Librarian: now it's 250$ for free shipping to Canada

bookdepository.com is really good. Their prices are good and they offer free shipping worldwide with no minimum order.

rightstuf.com has really good prices too, but I'm not about to spend $250 for free shipping.

hello

For free online: www.viz.com/shonenjump/.

To purchase: Better World Books (used) and localish independent stores (new).

In the past, I've picked up used books from library sales and bought new books from big, chain stores: Amazon, B&N, BAM! and Target. After years of frustrations with those stores, I'm finally looking at saving up to order large enough batches from Rightstuf. I should look at Book Depository, too.

My current public library system has some physical manga but the selection is spotty, with volumes missing in each series. One library will supposedly buy a lot more books soon, but I'm not sure what they'll get, when, or if that matters to me as my area continues to struggle with a certain virus.

I have no local friends who have a permanent home to keep more than a few books, so there's no one to swap with.

For used volumes in English I sometimes order from Thrift Books. Surprisingly, I have occasionally gotten an artbook or two from them in Japanese.

I have used, and still use, Bookmooch and Paperback Swap extensively for giving and receiving random volumes in both languages. I've been having less luck finding swaps nowadays, but that's also because my wishlist has shrunk.

Most of my manga has come from Bookoff, a Japanese used bookstore that has a branch in Manhattan. They have manga and regular books in both languages. I used to go very regularly when I was younger, but now I balk at the energy it takes to go take the train for an hour and haul totebags full of books around. The $1 stacks are now $3 due to inflation (or maybe $4 by now, it's been a while) but it's still a great deal and it's easy to load up your bags with all sorts of stuff. And if I'm willing to walk the 5 or 6 blocks to Kinokuniya I can pick up any new releases before getting back on the train.

Once every couple of years I'll put in an order on Amazon Japan or Mandarake. You have to place an order big enough to justify the very expensive shipping costs, but sometimes I just really want that one artbook or doujinshi that I have been coveting for years and use it as an excuse to expand my library.

well most of the time I download the manga and read it on my kindle after all reading manga on kindle is best you can also get the manga in kindle supported format (Mobi) from https://otakuskindle.wordpress.com/ for free and other time I just buy them or read it online.

i read mange at my local library but yes having it in real life is A lot better.

>4 Jenson_AKA_DL: Try Rightstuf Anime, they have really good prices

GUYS, ALWAYS CHECK CHECK OUT RIGHTSTUF ANIME, THEY HAVE UNBELIEVABLE PRICES ON MANGA, ANIME, AND MERCHANDISE! (Sorry this is all in bold, just trying your attention, I just wanted to add to the hype:D)
Also,there is, book depository, indigo, and you might find stuff on instocktrades, though they mostly do comics.

>5 skidney1: QQ, what is bookland?

>8 novelandmangacrazy: XD

>12 novelandmangacrazy: It is an online store for anime manga and merchandise. It ships to canada, though I do not think it ships to other countries. Sorry if this isn't the answer you were looking for.

>20 RebeccaAnn: Yes it is
