I don't mind porn at all, though. >> Blowfish Sounds like a good fantasy series! That reminds me that I need to find some new books to read one of these days ...

Okay, erotica it is … I don’t mind porn at all, though.

Its lame indeed but hey atleast they handled it with care.I wonder what they thought about the Siggy Visual combat Book tough. @Steve Chen I am from Germany and this is just an educated guess but I believe that they were checking for porn.For some stupid reason you arent allowed to import porn in Germany as a private person.If you are a business and want to resell it its a different story though... Another thing possible is that they were looking for loli stuff. Well never know.... @Tier

I think it was fifteen years ago that I had this big catalog from a movie store, I flipped to the anime section and there was a grainy black-and-white picture of the cover to the La Blue Girl video tape. That was the day I became a hentai fan. >> Katsura-chan Yeah, that's probably the case. Still makes me sad that I have to go through so much trouble (and expense!) just to get some porno books >.< >> Steve Chen

It never comes to my mind to buy such mangas :p But i guess if sometimes they don't want to ship internationally that's because they had troubles with previous orders or that's because specific country rules all around the globe are too different and cause too much paperwork ^^ Mmm lol i don’t know why it’s so difficult.

Where the hell are you from anyway? Are the customs authorities that puritanical that they'll even open a sealed Drama CD? Heck, they're that strict and still allow the "underwear" bomber to get in (if you live in the USA that is) @ Tier enjoy them bro, be prepared to wait and also follow up from time to time with Mr. Yasu Nieda. Btw I also got this from them http://otakai.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=4882 @ Blowfish……that SUCKS! Where the hell are you from anyway?

I don't really dig Amazon JP's per-item shipping cost; shipping lots of inexpensive things like books doesn't seem worth it. Souryu's books sound like something that I will like a lot XD I'll definitely have to check those out. I guess I ought to preorder Lightning Warrior Raidy II, too, I think they're supposed to be releasing that soon. >> Persocom Yeah, that sort of thing kinda freaks me out too. It seems perfectly normal to me, but I guess all it takes is one inspector with an excessively puritanical streak to get you in a ton of trouble. >> Blowfish Hmm, nope, never heard of that. I know almost nothing of ancient Norse or Germanic mythology (or Greek or Roman mythology, too). The geneology section of the Wikipedia article is, uhh, kinda convoluted XD Man, that's lame. My Amazon JP didn't seem to be touched; everything was still sealed in the plastic shrink wrap Amazon uses to hold books secure against a piece of cardboard so that they don't have to pad the box interior. >> Marcucho
That’s the plan!

I guess this has to be the Nibelungen Saga then. You probably heard of Siegfried the Dragon Slayer and stuff before no? Well heres a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibelung Talking about Customs Problems... My long delayed and thought lost package with some QB goodness turned out to be withheld by customs for ond and a half month for thorough investigation for forbidden content. In the end they seem to approve of QueensBlade but holy hell they even checked the Drama Cd that came with one of the books Hmmm German Folk Tale?

The worst things I've ordered came from J-List and that was nothing more than some eroge, which I actually got in download form so I wouldn't have to deal with possible conflict with the post office. Perhaps I'm a bit more paranoid than need be, but it's not cool when you hear about people getting jail time over something stupid like porn. I know the only real cases involved loli but who's to say random Customs guy won't think a moe character is loli, and well you get the point.

His artworks are detailed, nasty and..........well you got my drift. His rendition of women is like well a cross between Leina from QB (plump yet sexy) + a bit of Akira Toriyama. That's why I couldn't resist ordering them, all those tentacles........ Just look for the option in the site Contact us and click this
