All my books came in perfect condition as always.
The Republic site are the best place to buy your Japanese goods, though the initial price might be higher than other places, I've never had a book, game, or snack come in anything less than pristine condition.
They're customer service is fantastic, keeping me up to date with the status of my order right up to and beyond delivery, making sure everything ended up in my hands in one piece.

Something I really appreciate are the little gifts they often send with my orders, be it an origami crane, a Omikuji fortune, a kit kat, or protective sleeves for my books, everything about them from the packaging to the contents indicates a level or quality and care that is hard to find these days.

Always happy to buy from Manga Republic.
