Who Are They

BK1 is a Japanese book store that also sells manga. Their prices are on par with Amazon Japan, and in some cases cheaper. For any new or recent releases, they are definitely cheaper than JPQueen, but you should always compare.

Introduction (aka, OMG, the site's in Japanese only)

BK1 is in Japanese only, which may discourage some English speakers. I would like to share with you my experiences so that you can feel more comfortable purchasing from them. Some parts of the website can be viewed directly through Alta Vista's Web Site Babelfish translator, but the important parts like signing up for an account and checking out your shopping cart cannot be read by Babelfish.

So this is where I'd like to help you out.

Disclaimer and Notice

I do not understand any Japanese. Between intuition, copying and pasting into Babelfish and some help from Insaneneko, I have learned the following. I may be incorrect in my exact translation or perhaps even the descriptions. Usability was my first priority. However, if you would like to correct me or help me translate precisely, please feel free to send me an e-mail, quoting the figure number and what I've cited incorrectly -- and naturally, the correct translation.

Organization

Because I have many graphics/figures, I have split this guide up into separate pages/sections.
