Jun 17, 2021 16:23


Let's not hide it! It is often very difficult to resist to the magazines which put forward our ichiban! And let's not even talk about some anan... Once again, it is quite difficult to get the magazines without getting up early to avoid a sell out on CD Japan.



So today, I'll explain you how to use Neokyo to buy / pre-order your magazines, whether they are new or used!

How do I buy my Johnny's magazines?

Magazines with Johnny's

If we're talking about Johnny's, the references are Duet, Myojo, WiNK UP , Potato and Poporo . But the Johnny's remain omnipresent for the biggest happiness of our fanitude. You can also find your favorite members and bands on magazines like AnAn or +act.

If you are looking for magazines outside of those mentioned, magazines of manga pre-publication ... the following is also effective for any purchase request of Japanese books and magazines.

How to make a purchase request.

By using Neokyo's services, you can buy from all Japanese online stores. So it's perfect to buy your magazines without any worries!

Which stores to choose?

If you want to buy or pre-order new Japanese magazines, we recommend

  • Amazon: for faster delivery with the Prime option.
  • Rakuten : Every Wednesday and Thursday enjoy 3% discount on your rakuten purchases with Neokyo .
  • Tower records / HMV: Reference stores for music, you can buy your magazines and CDs there
Second hand option :



If you miss a magazine, or if you only want to buy the pages with your ichibans, you will have to turn to the second hand platforms !

The most famous are Mercari, Rakuma, and Yahoo Auctions. We also recommend Surugaya, but the magazines there are more rare.

Of course with Neokyo you can also buy on these sites specialized in Japanese second hand.



Example : Mercari from Neokyo interface

Advices :

  • Don't forget, in Japan a volume planned for the month M is put on sale 1 month before. So in July you can buy the magazines of August.
  • You can also make pre-orders.
  • Be careful, a magazine can be heavy. If you are not sure about the weight or if you want to estimate your shipping costs, I advise you to go on the product page of amazon. Most of the time, it indicates the estimated weight.
