Nice, thanks for the heads up. Looks like there's a Nichibutsu and Qute (Natsuki Chronicle) interview in there. I'll have to pick this up, hopefully it's available in pdf form soon from their online distributor...

Is there someplace where you can get these without having a Japanese account/address? I've tried a couple of the sites listed on the gameside website including amazon but they all will not allow me to purchase anything unless I resort to using a VPN. I'd totally grab all of the issues if there was a nice place I could buy the PDFs from

@Cata, here you go: http://micromagazine.net/shop/tag/gameside/

You don't need to be in Japan since it's all digital downloads, but you do need to enter a Japanese address (it can be fake) when registering for the site. I bought the last two volumes there. I'd also recommend rancor as an option for picking up hard copies if you're collecting them; i don't really collect myself, and only want to read/translate the content.

If you have an Amazon account (say in Germany, USA or UK) you should be able to purchase from Amazon Japan. There is the language barrier to handle mind you but the mechanics are the same.

Let me know if you are struggling with an order.

Cheers,

Minty.

Amazon Japan accounts are independent from other countries, but you can easily create a new one. To Europe the Gameside mags are about 20 EUR everything included. Shooting Gameside is definitely available for international shipping from Amazon.jp. Maybe you tried a marketplace seller the last time around.

This, pretty much. I set up a Amazon JP account for Shooting Gameside 9.
I may have done that myself but it was years ago. Since then I have not had too many difficulties ordering through Amazon. I found that prices on EBay from some Japanese sellers were a lot higher than on Amazon Japan.
