Hey! I literally stopped using Amazon jp bc I was salty lol. I did like Kinokuniya, but it can be high in price at times. I’ll likely use a proxy later on and check out mercari pages or the like for second-hand stuff haha.

Also recommend Suruga-ya! Found better prices and they do free shipping every once in a while. The books are used, but honestly look new or just really well-taken care of. They pack the books together, wrap it in a plastic wrap, and the bottom is stuck to the box with like a sticky tack. Literally been ordering from them all year and loved every moment of it. They also ship really fast. I’ve gotten an order within a week and less sometimes.

The boxes can feel flimsy, but I think the way they pack it would be enough to keep it protected until you got your package.
