So I noticed a number of manga on Amazon Japan don't ship to my address.

First, I'm a US resident, and no, I'm not talking about Loli/Shota stuff. Also, I put this in general, because I don't know if it's only manga or not.

When I was browsing the Japanese site a few days ago, I noticed a bunch of manga that Amazon said can't ship to me. So, I looked into It a bit, and it's weird. Past volumes of all the series I looked at, are generally fine, but not the newest volumes. Some examples being:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4065206111/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4865547118/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4047361917/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4867150223/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

This kinda Loli one, too

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4801970230/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

So, this has has never happened before, and it's confusing me. I don't think it's a glitch, and it's not all of them. Anyone have any ideas? Are you guys getting the same message, too?

Assuming physical books for obvious reasons, I can't even fathom the exorbitant shipping costs.
You best bet is to ask Amazon customer service directly, though even then, you're not guaranteed a clear answer nor solution.

Actually, in terms of costs, two volumes generally amount to about 26 USD with shipping. But, yeah, costumer service isn't a bad idea.

@Greenfrost

I'll add this thread to the thread I made in news...... Unfortunately that one's turning political too because shrug.


Amazon delisted items and pre-orders from:

Bakarina (Like wtf is offensive in this? Foreheads?)
No Game No Life
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
The Greatest Magicmaster’s Retirement Plan
I Shall Survive Using Potions
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
Clockwork Planet. (Yeah.... this is literally a character story on a clockwork planet)

I emailed customer service, so we'll see what's what.
