📕How to purchase uncensored cn #danmei physical books for intl buyers (a short guide):
1. Online bookstores: books.com.tw, Eslite.com, kingstone.com.tw
They don’t carry all titles, some must be bought via proxy. Must make an acc first, they take 💳

Also I don’t recommend buying Jiafei books from online bookstores, since they won’t carry the extra/fanwai volumes, you must buy from a proxy or wait for leftovers (not guaranteed)

Online bookstore shipping is very fast, they use express shipping.

2. Proxies:
- Seemoon seemoon.biz/mall/products_… (takes PayPal)
Got many books that aren’t on online bookstore platforms. They carry in stock books + books you can preorder. In order to buy you gotta make an acc. You don’t pay right away, must wait for their email to pay.

Shipping is calculated once books arrive. You can also group your orders if you have more than 1.

- Feiqing m.facebook.com/feiqing2021/ (PayPal + 💳)
Not a lot of in stock books, but got preorder books that Seemoon doesn’t carry.
Must msg them on FB or LINE to make an order.

They’re also on twitter but not sure how often they use go on it.

When messaging them be very clear about which title you want, how many copies and which country you want to ship it to. You pay first then the shipping is calculated when books arrive. You can also group orders.

- 食糧閣x吃吃食糧 facebook.com/loving811003 you make an order via their discord server. Message them on FB for their invite link. Works with most publishers.

- Bluelady blueladytw.com (takes 💳)
Works with some pubs, not all. But website is easy to use

- Kakitono facebook.com/Kakitono (takes 💳)

Message them on FB to make an order. Be specific on what you want and how many copies. You pay first then shipping is calculated when books arrive later. They work with most pubs.

- 卡部書屋 facebook.com/kabubooks

They have FB but you must email them to make an order: [e-mail]

Works with most pubs as well.

3. Via Lactea publishing/
vialactea.ca
They take PayPal, website is in Eng, ships from Canada.

4. Uei Shiang publisher from Taiwan:
uei-shiang.com/Net/Buy/
Can buy directly from them or from online bookstores. Not everything they have will be on online bookstore websites (eg SPL) so better buy directly from them if that’s the case.

Must make an acc first, they take 💳

Most uncensored danmei manhua can be purchased from online bookstore platforms. If not the proxies most likely will have them so keep an eye out.

Note that uncensored cn can be both in traditional or simplified CN. Not all simplified prints are censored.

Sometimes if you miss a PO, you can wait for leftovers from proxies. Sometimes ppl cancel their POs as well so that generates leftovers. Some pubs won’t restock once they completely run out and you may have to buy them second hand.

Here are some pubs from the top of my head that you prob don’t need to PO and they will be available for a while (books only): PinSin, Hazymoon, Kadokawa, 深空, 三日月, Rusuban, 長鴻, 東販, 東立, 愛呦, 春光

For Jiafei books if you want the whole set, make sure to PO.

Forgot to mention, the special sig/teqian got a time limit (eg must order during the first 2 hrs), most of the proxies can let you order ahead of time to get the teqian so you don’t have to worry about the time limit.
