Intro
#

駿河屋is a second-hand and new ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) merchandise store. They offer a wide range of products including games, books, merchandise, limited edition Blu-rays, figures, and more...... Essentially, they have almost everything you can imagine. Surugaya has multiple stores in Japan and also operates an online shop. The online store is divided into Surugaya.jp for the local market and Surugaya.com, which primarily targets international customers. However, there are various issues with the .com1 site, so I prefer to shop at the .jp site.

The shipping service I use is Buy&Ship, so the package has a big logo when it arrives :) The long box below is a very long hanging scroll that goes beyond the border.

The first thing is a light novel series "Saekano", which is surprisingly much smaller than I imagined. I heard from discussion forums online that the novels have more details, and I absolutely love this series, so I wanted to buy and read it. However, I couldn't find the complete set on my local Carousell and Facebook Marketplace. Plus, I was told that the Japanese original has more nuanced emotions, so I bought a cheap second-hand version from Surugaya. Although I don’t understand Japanese, I will study the language diligently to understand the novels.

Then, here are two more T-shirts. After being opened, the smell is very fragrant. It seems that the previous owner washed the clothes well, or it may be that Suruga House washed them after acquiring them. In short, Megumi Kato, let's fucking GoOOOO, looks cold and doesn't mind anything, but in fact, she will remember every word of you.

#Comment Although Surugaya has a lot of products, they are actually scattered in branches across Japan and there is no unified warehouse. For example, this time, the Surugaya main store has a full set of novels (1-13, FD1, girls side), but the remaining FD 2, Memorial, has to be sold in other branches (Sanyodo Kaguyama, Shinyatamae Rifu). Therefore, I had to paya additional shipping fee to the shipping service provider. The shipping fee was 9 pounds using buy and ship, and 23 dollars was deducted using credit points, and the final price was 265HKD. The total of all the stuff and shipping costs is 715HKD, which is affordable.


  1. To put it simply, the international version often launches free shipping events, but the products are more pricey compared to the Japanese version, and the boxes are too damn big, resulting in a lot of extra shipping costs. Reference: Is Suruga-ya.com scamming foreigners? (Sort of) ↩︎
