If I want to buy omamorihimari in jp, am I screwed?

[Dark Ariel7]

I looked at like 5 different sites. I cant seem to find it. All I get are used products and one that only ships within japan. Can I get a new set in japanese from anywhere?

Found them all with http://www.bookfinder.com/

Just use their Japanese ISBN to search which you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Omamori_Himari_chapters

I think you may have misunderstood me. I found the books. I just can't find a place to actually buy them.

Bookfinder has amazon links, though?

Unless none of the links ship to your country, in which case yeah you're probably screwed.

But you can use jp only sites with a proxy service if you really need them.

Did you see the price for each volume? It seems to be 20 bucks per volume. I also found the set... for 400

Unfortunately that's usually the price you'll pay if you want to import brand new Japanese volumes, that's why I never buy physical Japanese books.

It's even worse if you live in Europe since you pay VAT on top of it.

Ive bought stuff before though. I only pay about 10 bucks per volume, still high but 20 is just crazy.

For some reason this one just seems to be hard to find.

Finding it in English all together for a decent price is hard. although, I try eBay more often as I don't mind if they're used, just as long as they're in good condition.
Since it's an older series, it might be harder to find at such a price.

Look on Mandarake by typing the following in the search bar: おまもりひまり. Also, I just looked on my proxy site and they are all available via Yahoo! Auction.

I guess the best method would be buying them used on amazon and use a shipping company to send it to you. That way you can get around the "shipping only in Japan".

[Dark Ariel7]

I guess used is my only choice. Oh well. Used it is then. 

 

what is  コレクター商品  btw?
