I'd sort of like to own the Weekly Jump containing Chapter 500 when it comes out.
I live in Arizona, so "Just to to Kinokinuya or however it's spelled" is not going to happen.
Plan B: I know there are several mail-order Japanese bookshops that will sell me Weekly Jump. However, I can see timing being an issue. If I wait until the week it's out, they may not have enough copies to satisfy demand, or their protocol might be "send last week's issue because we have a lead time". However, I can't necessarily say right now "Send me issue 24" because Oda might skip a week between now and then– we don't know exactly when Chapter 500 will show.
Does anyone know of a seller who will handle an order like "Here's $10 now, when the issue of WJ containing 500 comes out, send it to me?"
Also, am I in the ballpark expecting it would be in the vicinity of $10 including cheap-mail postage.
