(Well, cheaper in yen) The translated version costs a bomb! I bought my first 3 volumes in Japan. Basically they're sort of like anthologies spearheaded by Range Murata. There are a few sequential stories but most of it are one-shots. It's a good investment though! !!! The Robot series is expensive! (Well, cheaper in yen) The translated version costs a bomb!

The arts look great, and the main artist is Range Murata, designer for the anime "The Last Exile." It’s not just an ordinary artbook, it contains manga in full colours as well.

Who drew this art book? I didn't know you were interested in drawing or graphics! And there are 10 volumes to it, no surprise why you want to order it online instead. Haha. Oh… I’ve seen this before!

The whole series can also be found in Takashimaya Kinokuniya artbook section. To save on shipping fee, you can ask more people to order stuffs at one shot and split the shipping fee among everyone. http://www.wani.com/robot.php

But then if I'm going to import then it means I need to do bulk orders... which I don't really mind, provided I can restrain myself long enough not to spend those money I saved. Lol. Woot, hey, if I manage to save money with this service I'm going to give you a treat! Ahahaha. What are you intending to buy from Japan? Comics too? Or other guilty pleasures? XD Oh my god.

Use vPOSTJAPAN for shipment, which will be significantly cheaper. I bought something for my project using vPOSTUSA from a US company, and shipment fee was originally close to S$60 (that item costs around S$18). However thanks to vPOST, the shipment fee was reduced to around S$22. Go view the offers! https://www.vpost.com.sg/vpostjapan05/index.html P.S If you are actually signing up for vPOSTJAPAN, do inform me!

Yes, I'm very much inclined to turn to reading scans online too. That's why I need strong, valid reasons to prove that reading the book is much better than reading online. I can't do anything without a reason. And hey, Kinokuniya is expensive. The Japanese manga sold there is twice the price it is sold in Japan. It costs like roughly SGD$5 for one manga in Japan (after conversion), but it's like $10 (at least) over here. English mangas imported from US/Canada is even more expensive, but luckily I don't read them. Lol. How much are yours? If you're ordering online like from Amazon or something, then it's cheaper than the price Kinokuniya is selling over here. Those scums! :D Yeah, I better find a job soon too, I'm on holidays for now. :D How old are you? You're working already right? Hahaha. Yes, I’m very much inclined to turn to reading scans online too.

My greatest fear yet is to have a mandarake or book off nearby and I'd get a chance to buy all the old manga I like. lol. By then, I'd be in deep poverty. But unlike you who has access to a Kinokuniya, I have to order mine online or I go to a manga kissa and both of which are quite costly. And in cases wherein a manga I want to read is hard to get but someone scanned it, I'm forced to get it in scans. ^^;; I have to admit that I do suffer a bit of a moral struggle when I read scans online. I too hate reading online because it's not portable (and it makes my butt big for sitting all day). Unlike mangas, you can read it while you're in bed, during breakfast, in the train, and so on. More so, you can't support the mangaka if you just keep on reading the scans. If there's only thing good with it, is if you're looking for things to read and you want to sample a manga, it leaves little commitment unlike having bought a manga that turned out to be ugly. *sigh* I totally feel your need for a job to sustain a manga life. :3 lol. Almost all of my earnings go to my manga habit. ;w; I totally understand how you feel.
