You, sir, are a god. Nice to find someone else who appreciates "The Five Star Stories". Now if only I could complete my physical collection of the manga. Still missing 17-19 and 22+ ;_;

Just to let everyone know, this is not the complete art book. This cut up version of Knight Flags has been floating around on eMule for at least a couple years now.

Been on the lookout for ages.

There's vol1 on #Lurk but that's about it and I believe it's the US version not the japanese so it's really short. Anyone who finds the whole thing will win many internets!

Are you just being stingy, or is the manga really that hard to get in america too?

The US paperbacks are out of print and sell for approx. $1000 each.

Nope, they don't. What you're seeing is something that's pretty common on Amazon, and that's booksellers not seeing auctions for a specific volume, so they set an arbitrary price. The books do NOT sell at those prices, and the booksellers keep repricing even higher, which amuses me. I track a few of them just to get a chuckle.

If you pay more than 20 bucks or so for a volume, you got ripped off. I've been working on my collection for about a year and a half and have managed to get 1-14, 19, and 20, and only haven't gotten 24+ because they're somewhat easy to find.

Look for the books to come down somewhat hopefully, since the contract Nagano has with the US publishing company requires them to continue to publish his work till he finishes the series completely, and he released Book 12 in Japan several months ago.

Spare a thought for those in the UK!!

When you add the import charges we end up paying a ridiculous sum for a very short manga (albeit printed in a large format, but still...)

It seems that I was lucky to find 1-3 in Vienna and buy 4-9 on amazon.de then.

Something I wondered about for a while now: do you still pay that tax for the import of secondhand books? Because for all I've experienced here in austria, I'm going tax-free with secondhand books. Still, I think I'll make some crappy scanlations of the first japanese tankoubo just to boost FFS's popularity a bit.
