Yes, yes, laugh if you will. Having bought Bleach up to vol 15 in translation I went down to Kikiwai and bought vols 16-19, all they had, in Japanese. The damage came to $13.68 per 400 yen volume. Kikiwai is still Highway Robbery North, but you can do this when you're the only game in town. I doubt Iwase is any cheaper, given that *they* charge me $20 per 550 yen magazine.

Clearly must win lottery and establish my agents in Tokyo. Alternatively, must embrace Buddhism and renounce the transient and illusory pleasures of the flesh mind.
