[ul] - Started watching anime last year, started reading manga this year, new to just about everything
- Bought a Fire tablet for manga, promptly spent way too much, but it's fantastic to have everything on hand
- I work two jobs so I'm trying to avoid physical copies of manga, it's nice to go "buffet style" when I have a few minutes[/ul]I feel like Amazon's manga collection is decent and growing--I was shocked to find Sweat and Soap there, discovered it here and immediately bought it (a must read)--but there's other stuff like The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length (if you're not reading that you are wrong) that from I can tell haven't officially come out in English. Is there a place I can buy the "smaller" titles in English, ones not picked up by a larger publisher, and start building a library? I realize that there wouldn't be so much work to translate raws if everything already existed in English, but I thought I'd ask, in case I was missing something.

I just don't like reading stuff for free, I want to pay for it. Tsukumizu (Girls' Last Tour) talked about in Vol 1 about how hard it was to work up the courage to write a manga, and despite Vol 6 breaking my soul in half it was one of the first manga I'd ever read, and I'm glad I could buy it. As much as Dumb Prefect, Kubo-san, and Hitomi-chan have made me laugh, I'd like to buy them, too.

Since smaller mangos are less likely to have official English translations, buying them in Japanese is really the only thing you can do (there's the Amazon.co.jp link on the main page for each manga).

You can always check the MangaUpdates link on the same page to see if it's licensed in English tho.

@bigtiddyoneesan I saw the links to JP Amazon and eBookJapan, but was holding out hope that there was something I didn't know about (in English). Feels kinda dumb buying stuff I can't read, but man some of this stuff deserves it in a big way.
