Fruits Basket If you want the Fruits Basket manga to come to America...

www.tokyopop.com Okay, this is great! I went to Tokyopop.com and they have this survey which is really awesome! There are two but the one you want to check out is the one where it asks you which manga series you'd like them to publish next! If all of you people put 'Fruits Basket' as your first choice and there's a lot of request for that certain manga, Tokyopop might just translate it! Wouldn't it be great? They have the best translating so far out of Viz and all of them. What you guys say? You want the Fruits Basket manga out in america or what? I already put Fruits Basket as my first choice then Hitomi's Vision of Escaflowne as my second. There's a third choice too, I put Rurouni Kenshin. But I dunno if they'll translate that...it has 28 mangas total. My brother owns the Japanese verison. It's pretty cool. So go check out Tokyopop's surveys okay? It would be good! No...GREAT!! If you all put Fruits Basket then they'll see how much we like Fruits Basket and they might say yes to my e-mail! I e-mailed them asking if they would translate it. Maybe that's why they put up that survey...maybe not....heehee...anyway go visit okay?

 

sorry i couldn't find the survey......

 

The survery is under "News," Yim-san. :]

Hmmmm, I put Furuba as my first choice, but it doesn't matter an incredible deal to me whether or not it's released here domestically... It'd be nice, but I'm content with my Japanese volumes *huggles her Furuba manga*.

But having it licensed would be a great way to show the mainstream the wonder that is Fruits Basket, ne?

 

*looks at manga collection* Hmmm....well, I suppose having Fruits Basket licensed and released in the states would make it more well-known, but I'm not going to bother talking to Tokyopop about it. Main reason behind this: I know some Japanese, I'm still learning, and I buy all my manga original language only. It's cheaper that way.

And besides, I already own all of Fruits Basket. ^_^;;

Aha, yeppers. I love the Japanese ones... They're so marvelous! The covers are plain but it's nice that way. :]

 

Lucky!! How many? all 10 so far? I really want the mangas too. The art is so awesome!! Where did you get it? I'm taking Japanese too in school and next year will be my 3rd year learning it. it would be more fun if I had a better class that cared about the language. Most of the people are dorks who mouth off. I get so pissed! I just wanna whip out a large hammer and pound them!!! I really don't like the kid behind me!! AAAARRRRGGGHHH!! I'd just whip out a pistol and shoot him!!! He's so annoying and so Bi***y!! Anyway I still love the language.

 

There are currently eleven volumes of the manga. As to how I get it....Japanese bookstores, or anime stores that sell import manga. Sasuga Books is my "local" store when I'm at home, but the prices are a bit higher than I would like. Some of the best prices from an American store I've seen are the ones at Anime Gamers. However, the best prices I've seen are at Animaxis, but there's the little issue of shipping to deal with. See, Animaxis sells at directly converted Japanese prices (about 3.10 for a volume of Fruits Basket manga), but the shipping is very high. It's what happens when you order direct from Japan....

Hey, no problem! I'm always glad to help. Shipping at Anime Gamers is about $3.00 if I remember correctly, but I could be mistaken. It's been a while since I've ordered from them, you see.

Wow really? That's great!! I'm gonna get fruits basket volumes 1-3! Yay!!! But i want to know what's up with the points thing. it's way weird. But THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You helped me out a lot!!:anime: I can't thank you enough!!

 

For every order you make you get a certain number of points once the order is completed. You can use those points to pay for different things. I've never personally been able to get enough points to make an order that way, but I know it can be done.

I though it was something like that. Anyway how do you take somethin off the order? I found out I can't buy one of the volumes so I wanna take one of them off the list but I dunno how. Do you?
