MANGAJIN BACK ISSUES

The Wasabi Brothers will grudgingly part with some of their collection of rare and valuable back issues of Mangajin magazine for the prices shown below, but only if you promise to treasure them, handle them carefully, and pass them on to your grandchildren. Outside of Japan, Mangajin is exclusively distributed by the Rolomail Trading Company. Payment is made via PayPal. For other payment options, see our How to Order page.

These issues date back to 1991 but the main focus of the magazine -- the authentic Japanese manga with complete translations and notes -- is timeless material. Total page count varies from 80 in the early issues to 120 in some later issues, but the volume of manga material is fairly constant at around 50 pages per issue (plus 6 pages of the Basic Japanese column which uses single manga panels to illustrate specific points). If you are interested in a subscription to Mangajin, we are now offering our back issues for monthly delivery!
