[Question about the 4th volume] Where can I buy the special edition ?

Hi ! I already know there was a topic about seeling earlier, but by the time I checked up, the cheaper special editions were gone. Can someone recommend me websites to buy it ? I hope their stock has been refilled.

Thanks in advance !

I think you should be able to buy both editions of volume 4 off of Kinokuniya's website. Here's the link for the special edition:

Hope this helps! ^_^

I bought it here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280703317279&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3391wt_698

a bit more expensive but the total price depends mostly in the shipping fee.

The seller is japanese and can speak english so you can ask him/her stuff before your purchase.

Look again, it's still available, the e-bayer only updated the price (when I bought it it said "$30" and now says "$29.99"... a HUGE change of the price >____>uu)

Yeah, I know it is but that is probably the best you can do right now. I checked about 5 sites and they are all sold out.

The only other option I can give you it to buy it from Y!Japan auctions through a proxy but then you will be spending the same price anyways. So...sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures? ;u;

Yeah, like I paid 14 dollars for the actual volume but then with fees and shipping it was another 30ish. (And I got the regular edition)

I did a quick conversion and it was about 42 euros but that wasn't counting shipping.

amazon.jp still has it, apparently. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/434482234X/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1SR2X5CKK51Y18GYSHPA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463376736&pf_rd_i=489986 I'm not sure about the shipping price, but it could be another alternative.

Not to stalk other conversations, but my two friends bought it from there the other day and it is on backorder so I don't know how soon you want it. D':

They let them buy it and then they got an email after saying thanks for the purchase that it was on backorder and they would get it as soon as they got more in or something. I would ask them more about it but neither are online right now. ;n;

Yes, that's the original price that they use in Japanese bookstores. It's not exactly cheap to Europe (I'm from Europe too), but maybe it's still cheaper than the other options.

Hmm... wait a bit? I got my 3rd volume last month, normal price. I know that's late, but until then you can look at the scans...

I should have added that I own the volume 3 special edition.
And yes, you made a good deal, I paid 20€ for it.
