    I was thinking it would be nice to practice reading Japanese by reading manga in Japanese, but I'm finding it quite hard to get in the USA. Everything I'm finding is in English. Does anyone know of a good source to buy Japanese-language manga?

    I'm sure Amazon.co.jp will have it.

    But I am sure there are other venues. I doubt http://j-list.com/ is adequate though. ^^

    Yes, I am a bluntly honest type.

    Amazon.co.jp is kind of horrible now since they have stopped with "proper" shipping. You HAVE to pay for express shipping now, and it's extremely expensive. (Buy a book for 2 000 yen and pay 3 500 yen for shipping... awesome).

    But yeah, other than amazon.co.jp I knew few good sources.

    I don't live in America, but I know the big Japanese book chain, Kinokuniya, has branches on the West Coast. It looks like you can order Japanese books there, but quite a lot of info is only in Japanese. On the other hand, I'm sure they can answer questions if you give them a call.
