Anyone here made any orders from Amazon.jp? Do you need to make a new account or can you use your existing Amazon.com account? Once you've hit the English button on the page does that provide enough translation to make an order without reading Japanese (I know a handful of kana and even fewer kanji, not nearly enough to read yet)? 580 yen isn't that much at the current exchange rate, although I expect shipping would probably bump that up a fair amount. Which raises another question, do I have to actually deal with customs myself if I order something internationally?
Okay, some searching makes it look like I can use my existing account; but, yikes, 580 yen for the book, 3000 yen for shipping!
I spotted a Nanoha comics collection (apparently the A's and prelude to Strikers comics). Sure those can be found fan translated online, but why not slip some money towards the original folks. Every once and a while I spot a few other things, but so far haven't actually tried ordering

Will the transhumanist future have catgirls? Does Japan still exist? Well, there is your answer.
