wild to me how the english translation of natsume is just. largely out of print i guess?? like half of the volumes you can't get ANYWHERE for love nor money, not even on amazon (unhallowed be its name)! i've found like five sites that sell print volumes and they've all got the same selection (vols 1, 2, 17, 19, 27-29, sometimes 24-26) and if you want any others you are SOL. though what's interesting is i'm pretty sure last time i looked it up a few months ago, you couldn't get volume 17 anywhere either. did they do a print run just of that volume?? total mystery.

#and then amazon does have a handful of volumes you can't get anywhere else (used) but they're selling for $40 to HUNDREDS #OF DOLLARS??? the volume with yorishima's intro is going for $251 😭#i went so far as to look up the french translation and of course THEY are all in print and selling for 8 euros. i'll be real. i am tempted #it's nice that i can read volumes online but i really want to read them in bed before i fall asleep and i just cannot do that w e-versions #i guess i'll just check back in every few months to see if they've decided to go back and reprint any old volumes idk #and probably go back to checking them all out at the library. but the thing is the urge strikes me suddenly and i want to read them #immediately #this is such a non-problem i'm just. surprised i guess? i understand this isn't a hugely in demand series but it is #still running...and they're making a new season of the anime...idk idk i just expected it to be more accessible #take my money viz media!!!#natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou
