1. Most shop sell bootleg except some famous good one like the one in Berjaya Square which focus on Japan anime product/figure (forget the name)
Time Machine? (donno still open or not), XL-Shop?

1. You buy something deemed indecent from online stores. It could be H-tankoubons, doujinshis, whatever. Then you pay extra to have the seller make the parcel/packaging as "innocent" as possible.

2. You went to Comiket, and bought one (or dozens) too many doujinshis and merch. You're most likely way over your weight limit, and you can't fit all of them into your luggage. You pack them up real nicely and securely (though considering the sheer quantity, you can't cover them up 100%), and have a Japanese courier send it back to your home.
1. They ship in brown box with very simple description on delivery docket. I don't know how much more innocent you want. biggrin.gif

2. Should be alright as long as the size and value doesn't arouse suspicion.

They would take notice if it's something banned from the country, I guess?
There's so many Hollywood movies I want that are banned. But for these movies, at least you can find a ban list online. This is not the case with anime/manga. I cannot find a ban list of anime online, which means I am stuck with being lucky or not if the anime I bought will either arrive to me or... I don't know. The only thing I know that are probably banned here are hentai related stuff, not sure about ecchi ones.

Pornography, and child pornography are huge no-nos, that much is for certain. I was wondering if H-materials are considered as.

Well technically, they *are*, but still.

Just for reference, I purchased Steins;Gate (the officially translated physical copy) from J-list , Fate/Zero Blu-Ray box collection from Rightstuf, and a shirt from a certain website which name begins with the letter F. I had no problems with those, but of course none of these are of offensive nature.

I however, did brought back a luggage stuffed with doujinshi during one of my trips to Tokyo, both perfectly SFW and NSFW ones. Went scarily swimmingly.

and you bet they do.

Guess I was pretty lucky with my luggage as written above. If they do discover my stuff, do I lose any hope of getting them all back?

1. I was thinking more along the lines of actually switching the jacket of the book with something safer. The jackets are unfortunate casualties, as long as I get the actual stuff safely.

2. Hm. Would a box stuffed to the brims with thin A4 books (like 10-20 pages thick) be suspicious? As for value, you mean the price of each individual book? They cost around 800-1000 yen each. It's been a while, but I remember plonking down several 10000 yen notes in one transaction.

Interesting.

Consider these two situations:

1. You buy something deemed indecent from online stores. It could be H-tankoubons, doujinshis, whatever. Then you pay extra to have the seller make the parcel/packaging as "innocent" as possible.

2. You went to Comiket, and bought one (or dozens) too many doujinshis and merch. You're most likely way over your weight limit, and you can't fit all of them into your luggage. You pack them up real nicely and securely (though considering the sheer quantity, you can't cover them up 100%), and have a Japanese courier send it back to your home.

What are the odds of customs discovering your treasure? If they do, would they run around telling on everyone, like a kid telling on you "Ha! You like these things!"?

I don't think custom will be so childish, either songlap or confiscation or fine

So far i have online purchase sex toy like tenga etc, the heaviest toy is a 2kg Silicon Oppai, no problem also maybe i'm lucky
I also bring the sex doll myself in my check in luggage when my trip to akihabara, also no problem

To mod: delete this reply if you think haram to talk about, thanks no ban
