Questions we get a lot

Do manga read right to left?

Yes. Manga keeps the Japanese reading order. It takes a few pages to get used to.

What if they already own some volumes?

Box sets are the safest bet when you are not sure, since they start at volume 1. One Piece Box Set 5 picks up at volume 91 for readers who are caught up.

When does it need to be ordered for Christmas?

By December 7 for everything on this page. Items we already have in the shop ship through December 15 by Ground Advantage.

Can I send it straight to the person?

Yes. Put their name and address in the shipping section at checkout.

Are these new?

Yes. Every book and collectible here is brand new.

What if I miss the date?

A prepaid subscription still works after the shipping cutoff. The first issue ships the next month.
