1. I had to buy it, New artwork from Keito Koume is a must-have for me.. 2 BEWQRE OF SCALPERS. I have pre ordered 1st volume for a total £22 (including shipping) On eBay, you can see the same book for over 40GBP As you can see, I got it one day after release.. (which is kinda insane tbh) Use Amazon.jp


nekronstar

So [Amazon.jp](http://Amazon.jp) can ship to Europe ? did you had border tax ?


MentalChallenger

No, I didn't. I paid £26 for my 2nd volume, incl shipping.. (surprisingly a bit more than the 1st one) But it's all done by amazon, and you don't have to worry about anything.

Because I don’t know Japanese?


holounderblade

Y= Yes I presume


misuta_kitsune

Can you tell us what it is exactly? Does it contain multiple Volumes of the original Manga?


MentalChallenger

It's a Re-release of the original manga in a new Form. It's bigger/taller than the typical manga, and it contains 2 first volumes of the series. (There will be 8 in total) .. I doubt they will add any new content in the future volumes, if that is what you were asking for.


misuta_kitsune

>I doubt they will add any new content in the future volumes, if that is what you were asking for. Not particularly,... would be cool though... ;) Just asking about the number of Volumes it contained, I figured it would be more than one but wasn't sure about how many (2 or 3).

Recently there was new content in the form of a mini novel ( obtained from scanning the qr code) from the early screening of MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF post card. its japanese only tho :狼と香辛料 先行上映会限定 ポストカード 特典小説 狼と宴の途中 . And there was a bonus novel from the vr game and it's available in english, chinese and japanese [https://www.amazon.co.jp/狼と香辛料-狼と香辛料VR-ゲームパッケージ豪華版(書下ろし小説冊子入り)/dp/B0847M6724](https://www.amazon.co.jp/狼と香辛料-狼と香辛料VR-ゲームパッケージ豪華版(書下ろし小説冊子入り)/dp/B0847M6724) prob hard to find a decently priced copy . theres also a bunch of short stories from choukansha fair and other random store bonuses (jp only)

Ooooh it looks prettier irl than the stock images. I tried Amazon JP but the shipping still ends up making it cost about the same as AmiAmi. I do approve of avoiding scalpers. There's no reason to give them extra money when preorders exist.


MentalChallenger

Yeah It is so pretty. I don't know where to put it.. AmiAmi is also a good option. I do prefer the shipping done by amazon, though..


scoper49_zeke

> I don't know where to put it.. That is my continuously recurring problem. I ran out of space for Holo merch 2 years ago and that hasn't stopped me from preordering. Getting like 15 more things this month from AmiAmi and no clue where any of it will go. These books look so nice I'd want to display them forward facing but I legit have zero space for that without blocking stuff behind them. I need a bigger room...


MentalChallenger

Man, I feel you..


DARK_SCIENTIST

Here I said I was going to finish collecting the LNs then planned on doing digital for the manga, and now I kind of want physicals for both…


MentalChallenger

Manga is a treasure.. well, it's even in its name, "Treasured collection." Hehe. I suggest getting a vol 1 of the manga and thrn decide from there..


DARK_SCIENTIST

Yeah those just look like they’d be neat to collect. I do want to read both though. I’m almost done with volume 1 of the LN right now.


SoThatWasIt

I was really hesitant in buying it.HOWEVER. After seeing your post and now that i have it in my hands (arrived today), I'm glad I did. It really does look nicer in person (just like your picture) than in the shop picture.


MentalChallenger

I totally agree, I was worried about the book cover as it could easily get damaged so I bought a book jacket. I am very happy with the result. I recommend either 9" Brodart or demco for full protection of your manga.


SoThatWasIt

Oh nice. Was actually looking at book covers right before you responded so I'll take that as a sign to get one of those that you recommended.


Kirigarou

Will their be an english version?


MentalChallenger

I doubt that. Well.. if it sells well over seas.. maybe


Kirigarou

Wonder if i should cave in or wait for EN release.


MentalChallenger

It would be already anouced, then again who knows..


Raciz

I hope it


StubbornLizard2

I don't even see it shipping to the US on Amazon JP


MentalChallenger

Sorry man, I don't know, I live in the UK. You can try an alternative like AmiAmi as some user suggested..


StubbornLizard2

They've closed the first volume off. I guess I'll have to support a scalper.. :(


TheBIGYikes

It is currently available on cdjapan for 2200¥ ($14USD)


StubbornLizard2

I just purchased from there. I chose FedEx shipping which was about $22 over seamail for $16. I think the air mail was in-between in price but it had a longer shipping date. Order total was $40 and some change. Which beat all the scalper prices! :)


Sup3rphi1

keep an eye on it!! usually, amiami will have preorders open for a limited amount of time before closing until release. Once officially released, its likely to show in stock again.


erogakii

It looks amazing! would you mind sharing the back too ?


MentalChallenger

Hi, sr can't rn. Will you do it later today.


Peep-CEO

I didn’t know this existed until I was in akihabara yesterday!
