Our comics, manga, and books are standard retail items and—unless otherwise expressly stated for a specific item—are not sold as flawless collector’s items or graded copies.
All items from our online store are also part of our in-store selection. They are typically displayed unboxed on the shelves so that our customers can view and browse through them. If there are multiple copies of a title available, some of them may still be in their original packaging or shrink-wrapped.
Comics and books, in particular, sometimes arrive with minor signs of wear resulting from production, shipping, or storage—such as fine scratches, creases, or slight visual imperfections. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Over time, additional minor wear may also occur due to display in the store.
If you place particular importance on the item being in the best possible condition or in its original packaging, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to take a closer look at the item you’re interested in and can send you photos in advance if needed.

A grumpy fox spirit, a tanuki with a heart of gold, and plenty of divine missions. The most unusual babysitting duo in Japanese mythology is back!
Senzou really doesn’t have it easy.
He used to be a powerful fox spirit who wielded his magical powers however he pleased. But ever since the sun goddess Amaterasu decided to teach him a lesson, his life has become much more chaotic.
Instead of pursuing his own interests undisturbed, he has to take care of the little tanuki Manpachi.
And as we all know, Manpachi has a very different idea of what makes for a great day than his grumpy guardian.
While Senzou would prefer to be left in peace, Manpachi is brimming with curiosity, a zest for life, and a thirst for adventure.
In *The Fox and the Little Tanuki, Volume 2*, the enchanting journey of this unlikely duo through the world of Japanese mythical creatures continues.
Together, they face the challenges set by the wolves who serve the Sun Goddess and experience new adventures in the mysterious world of the bakemono.
It’s not just a clash of two completely different personalities. Senzou’s previous notions of strength, responsibility, and solidarity are also repeatedly put to the test by his little companion.
For while Manpachi may not have an imposing appearance or centuries of experience—he does possess something that even the grumpiest fox spirit can hardly resist.
An incredibly big heart.
With warmth and humor, Mi Tagawa tells a lovingly illustrated fantasy story about friendship, trust, Japanese mythology, and the slow bonding of two unlikely companions.
The manga series is complete in seven volumes and is suitable for readers ages 8 and up.
Senzou really just wanted to serve out his punishment. Instead, he discovers that a little tanuki like that can really turn his life upside down.
And somehow, you can’t help but feel that Amaterasu knew exactly what she was doing when she imposed this punishment.
A heartwarming adventure for anyone who loves magical creatures, Japanese legends, and stories where even the grumpiest person eventually softens a little.
