Usagi Yojimbo comics in Japan?

[Matt]

I have recently gotten internet access after being in Japan for 2months (ahh the blessing of internet shopping). Anyway, just before I came here I was about to embark on my first buying of UY TPB's. I want to buy them now and was wondering if it would be easier to buy them from the US than muck about trying to source them in Japan.

Does anybody know of a good online Japanese comic retailer?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but as my local connection to the internet is timed by the minute, I don't want to spend a week trying to track down comics (damn you NTT communications, ADSL will come in November!)

I don't know of any good on-line Japanese book-dealers beyond Amazon.com's Japanese version and Harapan's website. Not sure if either carries Usagi Yojimbo, I believe the Amazon site should...

I would be interested in shipping you Usagi Yojimbo trade paperbacks in some kind of trade for Japanese editions of Lone Wolf and Cub and similar items...

Contact me if interested...
Abayo,
