Default Hentai manga retailers (in North America)

This is a preliminary report—I placed my orders on Thursday 25 January, so the books should be arriving soon.

A mention by Gatts that Eros Comix had put out an eromanga entitled Pink Sniper led (eventually) to a shopping spree for that and the Icarus Publishing books that I have been wanting (along with other, newer pre-orders). TRSI does not discount Icarus (except for Got Anime?), nor do they carry (at this time, anyway) Eros, so I was left to seek other sources; my findings:

• Adventures Underground: 10% off MSRP (i.e., $17.96), and they carry both Pink Sniper and about half of the Icarus books; $3.75 for the first book, $0.50 each additional book for Media Mail, and $7.50 per order for Priority.

• Anime Wild: 17% off MSRP (i.e., $16.56) and very good selection; free shipping on orders of $99 or more.

• Atomic Books: No discount, but they carry the recent Eros book and a number of the Icarus ones, along with Eros comic books; $6.00 flat rate shipping (USPS Priority Mail).

• ScifiGenre: 20% off MSRP (i.e., $15.95), and carries everything currently solicited; free shipping on orders of $75 or more.

Disclaimer: I did not check any of these retailers to see if they carry bootlegs, but none of them advertised what I recognized as such on their front pages.

A side note: Eros and Studio Proteus will also be releasing Domin-8 Me (Take On Me by Sessyu Takemura) and Milk Mama (original title) by Yukiyanagi; Super Taboo XXX has been coming out in comic book format (though issue #5 has just been canceled by Diamond for lateness). IOW, Toren Smith is back from his vacation. <EG>

Hmm, thanks for checking these places out. I've been trying to find a place for ages that sells not just hentai manga, but doujins as well. I know that Animenation used to sell doujin(maybe they still do) but they're mainly compilation ones and not individual ones. I can see how some risk might be involved with selling hentai manga, but as someone who doesn't mind having some on his shelf there really is a lack of retailers to order from.

Another store with great prices on Icarus and other ero-manga publishers is <link removed by wolve> . Their prices for Icarus titles range from $11.97-$14.96. I haven't ordered anything from them, but they have the best prices I've seen for these titles.

Great prices on bootleg merchandise as well.
