hi/jp/
I have a question
how much do you pay for a manga and doujinshi book in your country？

>> No.2819865

If you buy doujinshi it's import, so I dunno. Manga is about 13$ a volume CAD on average.

>> No.2819870

$0.
Country: internet.

>> No.2819878

manga: around USD4 for printed locally, USD8 for imports
doujin: around USD2 for chinese doujin, USD5 for imported japanese doujin

US: Probably around 9-11 USD per volume. Haven't been buying them lately though.

Since doujins are not available, Mangas in my country cause about 1-2$ for a cheap one. More better quality would have caused me 5$

Doujinshi... good luck. $10-$30 CAD.

Also, I would definitely not import that kind of doujin where I live. Since the US Postal Service is the arbiter of good taste and decency and everything.

>> No.2819964

The reason I pay for manga is the same reason I pay for books. I cherish my goddamned eyes.

That was until I tried using an ipod touch as a book/manga reader.

Where the fuck was I? Oh, it's like $12-15 CAD depending on where you buy it, Chapters just gouging the fuck out of you

I agree. In Chinese stores, one can not only get a lower price due to close proximity to Japan and lax import taxes, but you can even haggle with the store owner for the best value-for-money purchase.

Jesus that's awesome.

>> No.2821512

I stopped watching anime and reading manga, so the number of doujins I want is pretty low. Divide that by the number of doujins that are good and it'll be, oh, about 3 doujins that I would think about downloading.

If I were to BUY them, it'll be less than 20 bucks.
