There's only one thing to do, have my mom win the lottery!
You're not a joke, you fit right in!
So shake it off, and give a grin. Don't be afraid to stand your ground! Crazy, noisy BIZARRE Town!

I did manage to get Crime and Punishment from kodansha printed in 1992 eng/jap release !!! for about 15 bugs so this really annoys me people in Japan realy don't know for how much they could sell that manga on ebay.com but unfortunately they know about the english phoenix manga that goes for 50,000 yen on Amazon Japan."Dr. Jerk" wrote:Because it's been out of print for awhile now, and finding copies are rare.

...I'm sorry but, I hardly understood what you were trying to say.
Expensive copies CAN and WILL appear in Japanese auction sites. You were merely just lucky in finding a cheaper copy.
