Recently
I have been receiving many e-mails asking where to purchase the
tankoubons and other Ohkami Mineko related products I have introduced
on this homepage. I have not ordered from most of the online stores
I have included in this section, but they have all been recommended
by someone else (if not myself). Currently I am selling three of
the drama CDs (new and used) and one used tankoubon on my main
site, so if you are interested make sure you get it before they
are gone.
Manga
Magazines and Tankoubons
Sasuga
Bookstore
This online bookstore has been around for
a while now and they do deal with tankoubons and manga magazines.
I've never ordered from them but it seems many people do order from
them and recommend them.
Kinokuniya
This Japanese bookstore is probably the
one of the most famous out of the bookstores in Japan (and that
has expanded overseas). If you live in the States, you can probably
order from their stores there. They carry new tankoubons and magazines
and should be reliable since they are a big-name successful bookstore.
Jamall
This is another place I have no idea how
good or bad their service is, but they seem to have a bunch of
Ohkami Mineko's tankoubons. When searching for Ohkami Mineko items
you will have to enter "oukami" under author name to
get a list of her items.
KikiWai
If you are a fellow Torontonian I'm sure
you've heard of this store located in China Town in downtown Toronto
(Canada). I don't know if they have the Dragon Knights and Lumen
Lunae tankoubons listed on their online catalogue, but I've seen
them in the store itself (and this is where I always order from,
in person though). It may be safer to buy from them if you live
in Canada, so you don't have to deal with problems with customs,
like when ordering from the States or Japan. Please note they
do not carry manga magazines.
JPQueen
JPQueen is a used online manga shop and
usually has Ohkami Mineko manga (tankoubons only) in stock. Keep
an eye out for their weekly special sales since that's when certain
products on their website are sold at low prices! Shipping may
be expensive since they are located in Japan, but it's still a
great deal if you buy the tankoubons on sale! When searching for
all items by Ohkami Mineko, you may have to type in "ookami
mineko" instead of "ohkami mineko".
Bookmart
Although I've never ordered from this online
store, they provide the same service (and have a similar catalogue)
as JPQueen. It seems their shipping cost is slightly inexpensive
than JPQueen's. I do not like their search function since it doesn't
really work properly. In anycase, just like with JPQueen, Ohkami
Mineko's name is spelled "Ookami Mineko". Before you
get really annoyed with their search engine, just go here
so you can see a list of the Ohkami Mineko tankoubons they have.
Click on the title of the series to see what volumes they have
in stock.
Acclimate
Solution Inc.
This online store deals with both used and
new manga and has Dragon Knights and Lumen Lunae tankoubons listed
in their catalogue. They also have scans of the cover images for
the Dragon Knights tankoubon volumes. Please note that Ohkami
Mineko's name is spelled "Okami Mineko" or "Ogami
Mineko". I have never ordered from this place but have heard
mixed reviews. They also seem to provide translation if requested.
Drama
and Vocal Album Compact Discs
Sasuga
Bookstore
I've been told that this bookstore now carries
one or more of the drama cd's. If they do not have the one you are
looking for, you can probably ask if they can get the others. Please
note that the drama albums may be expensive since they only deal
with new items.
Anime
& Comic Japan
This
online service (located in Japan) should be able to help you get
the CD's from the Clubmail
website. They provide a special service that can help you get almost
anything (goods, books, etc.) that is available to the consumer
in Japan. Their service was great (other than the fact they didn't
respond to several e-mails I sent) when I ordered from them early
in the year 2003, but they may not be functioning now since they
did not respond to several people's orders in the spring of 2003.
Still, their main site seems to be in business so it's worth a try.
JPQueen
JP Queen also sells used CDs as well as
used books. If you can't find it in their catalogue by using the
search function, you can put in a special (search) order so that
if they do get them, you can have them reserved. This place is
very friendly and efficient. They are located in Japan, so the
shipping cost may be slightly expensive, but it is worth it!
Jungle
Special Collectors Shop
This place deals with used CDs and all their
products are in excellent condition even if it is ranked "B".
They have had the Dragon Knights CD time to time and you can always
add the items to your watchlist so that you can reserve the items
when they do come into stock. This is probably the best place
to buy used CDs straight from Japan! When searching their catalogue
for Dragon Knights cds, you may have to type "dragon kishidan".
Goods
and Other Items
eBay
I probably don't have to mention this site
at all since I'm sure everyone already knows about it. In anycase,
they are an internet auction site where people from all around the
world can sell their merchandise. Since many of the Ohkami Mineko
Animate character goods are very hard to find in Japan now you may
see them up for auction occasionally on eBay. I have also seen some
WINGS magazine special present items up here, such as the telephone
cards. Some people also have been selling their used Ohkami Mineko
calendars and datebooks from the previous years. Many used bookstores
and anime/manga goods shops in Japan have manga sets up for sale
also sometimes. It's worth a try to search for that Ohkami Mineko
item you want on eBay!
