[News] Concerning Doujinshi
So!
This may be old news for a few of us, and not relevant to everyone, but it's still pretty major! Especially if you're using the service in question.
FromJapan, the cheapest deputy service out there, has recently made doujinshi the hardest thing to purchase.
They no longer accept any orders from Toranoana, due to "copyright issues." Worse than that, they've started a new policy as well. If you purchase anything through them that they decide is "adult" in nature, they won't ship it to you or refund you. Having a credit card or being able to prove your age won't remedy this.
I've managed to still buy an "all ages" doujin off Mandarake since then. K-Books and Youclub haven't turned up errors yet either. But, just, for anyone intending to buy anything R-15 or R-18, a better service is definitely needed now.
And on that note!
Does anyone know any nice, cheap services to replace them with? The prices were obviously the reason they were the best; only a 5% service charge, and 168 yen bank fee. So is there anything available that's even close to that price range?
Preferably actual services. So not Ebay, MitaDango, or fellow LJ users.
Posted with mod permission if that counts for anything.
