OK so I'm in akihabara. What's the process for buying hentai doujinshi? Just take the shame on the chin and avoid eye contact?

What shame?

I think you only need to show an ID or something. Not sure since I didn't buy any when I went there.

Nope, just go in a buy shit. Unless you are a manlet that looks like a 12 year old they aren't going to stop you going in.

The problem is getting it home. Just hope customs doesn't search your shit if you buy loli.

Visit Nara, Kyoto, Sapporo, Beppu, Hiroshima, or something spiritual cities, you fucking nigger. Why the fuck are you wasting time doing shit in there?

Just buy it and ship it to your home in america

Just buy shit. The teller will do the usual greeting and proceed with business.

its the moe capital of the world you ding dong

It usually on the lower level of buildings, underground. In the same place they sell yugioh card singles: that's what it was like when I went there.

Go find the "Plum Live Shop" building, and go to I believe the 4th floor. In the very back of the shop they have 100yen doujinshi from old conventions. Sometimes you find some really good shit there.

You pretty much just purchase it. Nobody in there bats an eye, and you get a special bag to conceal your purchase from the outside floor. Very good place, and the staff don't turn around your doujin to see which ones you bought.

Just buy them like any ordinary good. Have some self-confidence, the cashier isn't going to give a shit.

Nigga what? Just walk in, buy your shit, then leave.

>walked into one of the fifty Mulan stores when I was there
>get to one of the higher floors and for some reason Alan Jackson was playing on the speakers
>be Texan
>clerk notices me singing the song and it was his own CD
>talk about anime, merica, and learn where certain manga/doujinshi are sold instead of having to learn by walking to every single one

None needed.

This. You don't apply for a job in a doujinshi store in Akihabara without either not caring, or having an interest in it yourself.

>Just take the shame on the chin and avoid eye contact?

There really isn't any shame. I accidentally walked onto the Yaoi Floor at Tora no Ana in Akiba because I couldn't read moonrunes, and nobody treated me any differently.

Toranoana
Melonbooks

all the stuff you are looking for is at higher floors

The staff at tora and melon are chill as fuck.

>Yaoi Floor at Tora no Ana
Weren't there 2 or 3 floors dedicated to that stuff?

You are taking pride in buying porn

Will they also ask me if I want to it heated in a microwave?

OP should get the American mentality judgemental-ism out of mind.

Japanese staff will not even "small talk" with you. They are there to conduct strictly serious business.
The Japanese staff and cashiers have only one interest in mind... push many unsold inventories out of the store.

oh, and DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS inside these stores like what that bitch ass BBC3 host did her 2nd Japan documentary.

how much has the whole trip cost you so far op (including hotel expenses)? need to know around how much i should be saving up for

The first question is where do you live.

I bought a lot of doujinshi when I was there and almost died. Next time I'm just ordering online. Do Japanese jave no shame when buying them?

am from cali

>Just hope customs doesn't search your shit if you buy loli.

Just be respectable looking (read: white) and customs in most civilised nations will let you past scotfree.

>DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
This. Nobody wants their photo taken in a porn shop and "I'm a wacky tourist" is no excuse for being a cunt.

Mandrake is your best friend, go figure shopping in Nakano.

They're not going to check you unless you give them reason to you paranoid fucks. It'll just come up as a book on the machine so they won't care.

not him

10 day jpn trip

rountrip plane ticket should be ~$1000 per person, economy
airbnb stay should around $100 per day
at least have ~$1000 pocket money

total should be around $3000

If I wasn't a dirty flip and didn't have a stopover in China, I would've gone on a shopping spree in Melon. China customs don't fuck around.

I always wear a surgical mask and keep my head low, too embarrassed to look the clerk in the face.

>oh, and DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS inside these stores like what that bitch ass BBC3 host did her 2nd Japan documentary.
>>DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
Really? I took photos in Animate and Gamers and they didn't scold me at all. Then again, it was the "safe" section and not the adult section (which I accidentally stumbled upon but promptly left).

also put another ~$500 down for 7 day Japan Rail Pass - Green Car non-smoke cabin if you wanna get out of Tokyo and experience the best high speed rail system in the world, bar none.

Estimated total budget for 10 day trip to japan + Japan rail pass should be ~$3000

>not hanging around the adult section to marvel at physical h-material and having a good chuckle at the more outrageous covers

Nobody wants to have their picture taken/be recorded when they are buying porn without their permission.

Isn't it also illegal to record people without asking in Japan?

obvious question is obvious

youtube.com/watch?v=95GlwrqE44U

I swear to god I was in grin-mode most of the time when I was at the H-sections

wew pricey but not unattainable, thanks for the info user

>Isn't it also illegal to record people without asking in Japan?
It is also illegal to record people on private property without a written agreement in burgerland which is why tabloids use newfags and interns for the job.
It's probably the same everywhere around the world

>Isn't it also illegal to record people without asking in Japan?
its like that in a lot of places

That video's right about buyfags being better off shopping online these days but as a tourist I found Akihabara to be amusing for sightseeing.At the very least there's more stuff to look at than going to Nakano, but then again I'm not one to buy anime merchandise.

I added ~$1000 for pocket money because I'm sure you're gonna want to splurge all that at Akihabara or doujin at Comiket.

You can further reduce the price of stay in Tokyo if you stay in 24hr net/manga cafe. Just be minimalistic with your baggage.

Not sure what day this was shot, but Akihabara is gaijin central on weekday (Mon-Fri) mornings to afternoon.

are 12?
go get urushihara satoshi kan and to love ru artbooks.

you can go to bookoff, mandarake and k-books for used stuff.
lots of people reading in akiba's bookoff though, so might want to go other area.

$3000 sounds expensive.

I paid for 9 days of my new year/January stay around 1400€ for tickets and hotel which would be ~$1500.

>foreigners always go to Akihabara
>ignoring the superior Nakano Broadway

I have done it many times, they literally dont give a shit

Nakano looks so drab though.

You're already a white neckbeard-looking fucker in Japan. They know why you're there.

Do they allow gaijins in maidreamin?

Staying in net cafes suck, don't do it. Out of the handful I stayed in, I could hear sex and/or porn between the open-air cubicles every night. Do capsule hotel or even camp outdoors if you absolutely have to and if you are willing to spend a little more than for a capsule hotel, then go for a hostel with good reviews and isn't owned/run by anyone non-Japanese or is catered to a non-Japanese clientele. I stayed in a hostel with only Koreans and Chinese in it in Osaka and had to leave after the first night.

>I stayed in a hostel with only Koreans and Chinese in it in Osaka and had to leave after the first night.
Well, what happened?

They were rowdy and noisy with all their kids and whatnot and in general were just straight up rude. They treated the place like a dump and clearly didn't care as Japan was "not their country." By far the worst hostel experience I had out of staying in hostels in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakodate, and Sapporo through multiple trips. Luckily now, I have a decent job which lets me travel between my home and Japan so I at least get business hotels now.

Got £1500 travel money
Flight was £350 through a third party site
Hotel came to £400
And the rail pass was £300
So around £2550

Also if anyone's interested I managed to buy a physical copy of tachibana son's circumstances with a man

Your face looks darb

Tachibana san's*
Fucking autocorrect

>Just take the shame on the chin and avoid eye contact

Nah nigga, give that clerk the death stare. Don't let it go until he gives you your change/receipt whatever the fuck.

Let him know. Let everyone know.

Just get a hotel in Ikekuburo or Asakusa, there are enough cheap options there.

Capsule hotels are top tier.

They are just okay if you have claustrophobia though.

Maybe for one or two nights. After that it is just annoying.

Well I'm not claustrophobic and don't get annoyed easily, so they make cheap and easy holidays for me.

>I could hear sex and/or porn between the open-air cubicles every night
hot

Brilliant, buddy.
Make them hate us more.

>give that clerk the death stare.

Tfw I did that by accident last time

Hadn't had a smoke or anything to eat all day, went to buy a figure

What do you even do when some 6'8 gaijin stares you down as he hands you a Konosuba figure

Went and ate at japanese mcdonalds shit was way nicer than american mcdonalds, I mean it was the same in the sense that like 1 of them spoke english but at least they spoke japanese

Back to Twitter.

Make sure to visit all the maid/JK reflexology shops you can!

>JK reflexology shops
?

>tfw spent 2 separate months just wandering around various areas of Tokyo and exploring streets and alleys

I don't remember the name, but there's this amazing park near the central district that's absolutely breathtaking. Spent a lot of time there with my mates having fun.

You expect me to leave my basement for spiritual enlightenment over getting some prime doujins?

What is there to explain? They are reflexology shops staffed with cute twenty-something girls dressed in uniforms.
twitter.com/hashtag/jkリフレ

I'm not white and they didn't search me (NZ).

>Actually going to Japan in the first place even if it's only to get doujins

Know that every single nipponese hates you and think you're ugly and a lesser lifeform.

He never said he's spending 100% of the time there.

Ransack the Toranoana tower (both A and B).

Visit the basements of all other buildings.

Visit the tower with a Tenga billboard if you want 3D stuff.

Girls dressed in JK uniforms give you a massage.

How is that any different from where I live now?

do you have experience with them?
seems sketchy to just recommend

Nara's fun. You can watch deer bully middle school girls. If you like, you can get them to bully you, too. Just buy some deer crackers and tease them until they headbutt your crotch. It's great.

Also should go to Uji where there's plenty of yakuza meandering around, along with more great teahouses than you can shake a stick at, and Byoduin Temple, where you can see the inspiration for the visuals in the ending of Kaguya Hime no Monogatari.

>20-something
JK industry doesn't hire old hags. And can gaijin even go into a JK reflexology shop? It's not like I want to get my stinky feet massaged by a 15 year old who will let me pay a few extra thousand yen to smell her hair. I'm just asking for a friend.

>It's not like I want to get my stinky feet massaged
What if I want the other way around, me massaging her feet

>I'm just asking for a friend.
What kind of friend?

>And can gaijin even go into a JK reflexology shop?
Yes.

>Just buy some deer crackers and tease them until they headbutt your crotch. It's great.
Doesn't even need to be a cracker. A deer at my free paper map in Miyajima It was low tide when I went and not high tide until midnight. To this day I'm mad..

Well, I recommend doing some research before attending a shop. You can check for reviews and opinions online and the like.
A few of them are indeed just a facade for more shady/lewd stuff, but those are a minority.

The fact that you're asking and didn't just pick up what you want and walk to the register with it means you're one of the weird gaijin on vacation that makes the rest of us who live here ashamed to be associated with you.

>You can watch deer bully middle school girls.
I won't lie, that does sound fun.

>You can watch deer bully middle school girls
Hehehe.

Not in public places

>Goes overseas to buy porn

Why?

>mfw I can go there every day if I wish

Being in the Air Force pays off sometimes

You just go in and buy your shit. No one will give a fuck.

Now, heading home from comiket and having to ask the airport staff if you can bring the huge paper bags on board is also fine. The only place where I got stares is when I transferred in France.
Fucking howaito judgemental thinking. Mind your own fucking business, faggots.

The past year must've been fun for you guys with little Kim up north making a fuss.

eh same old same old, news makes it worse then it actually is

...

> news makes it worse then it actually is
News being disingenuous? Unthinkable.

Nips hate Akiba now because it's filled with gaijins who have no proper manners.

Isn't what country you get stationed to based on an RNG?

Or did you pull strings to get deployed there?

>because it's filled with gaijins
>gaijins
You misspelled Chinese.

Chinese are gaijins though.

Chinese are still foreigners to Japan, no?

Volunteered for South Korea for a year to get my base in Tokyo. Otherwise yes it's rng for the most part.

Walk in and buy it they could care less from my experience your just like any other customer

Most gaijin are just kind of awkward in akiba. No one really gives a shit about the weird Finnish tourists or the white people that live there, or the occasional black weeb. The loud, rude, dirty ones that people hate are Chinese.
