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.
Of course, statutory warranty rights remain unaffected by this.
Sometimes a single encounter is enough to shatter all preconceptions. But what happens when you grow increasingly fond of someone, while the whole world seems to be against this friendship?
At first glance, Rin and Kaoru couldn’t be more different.
He attends a notorious all-boys school whose students are labeled as thugs and hopeless cases. She goes to a prestigious all-girls school where good grades, social status, and impeccable behavior come first.
There has long been a deep animosity between the two schools.
But ever since their chance encounter at Rin’s family’s café, Rin and Kaoru have known that a person is so much more than their school’s reputation.
Now the two want to get to know each other better and better. But the closer they become, the more clearly they realize how difficult it can be to leave the expectations of those around them behind.
Rin, in particular, is used to being judged too quickly because of his intimidating appearance. That Kaoru treats him without fear or prejudice means the world to him.
And Kaoru, too, discovers a thoughtful, honest, and surprisingly empathetic boy behind Rin’s rough exterior.
But how long can such a connection last when their own classmates would prefer to avoid each other?
Amid tentative approaches, insecurities, and small moments of happiness, the two learn that mutual trust sometimes requires more courage than one might initially think.
Kaoru and Rin 02 continues Saka Mikami’s heartwarming romance, telling the story of a slowly growing affection, genuine friendship, and the courage to get to know people regardless of their social background.
A heartfelt love story that captivates with endearing characters, subtle emotions, and a beautiful message: It’s not the first impression that counts, but the person behind it.
