Preorders OPEN!

Inazuma☆Stars Anthology Preorders

After months of hard work, the Inazuma☆Stars anthology is finally ready to preorder! With gorgeous artworks, 4komas, and comics from a total of 38 talented artists from all around the world, this book is guaranteed to please every Inazuma fan.
Inazuma☆Stars encompasses every arc of the series—from the original Season 1 Raimon to Inazuma GO—as well as the movie spinoffs “Inazuma Ogre” and “Inazuma Gryphon.” It is our great pleasure to present to you Inazuma☆Stars, the anthology that represents the very friendship and bonds formed through this series. 
50 pages full color, 44+ pages black and white 
PRICE: $30 not including shipping! (estimated around $7~10 depending on where you live!) ONLY ACCEPTING PAYPAL
*In order to avoid paypal transaction fees, we recommend sending in your payment as a personal gift rather than a payment for goods.


Preorder specials
The first 50 preorders excluding AX holds (please see below) will receive a small sketch of ONE Inazuma Eleven/Go character of their choice from one of our participating artists or a surprise guest artist!
Anime Expo attendees may also request signatures and doodles (which may or may not be available depending on the artist) on-site from any of the artists attending!
Also available at ANIME EXPO 2012 for $35!!
The books will be sold at a limited amount during con, but if you would like to secure a copy we offer an "AX hold" option for you. Contact us with your name (nickname is fine if you're uncomfortable giving your real name to us) and number of copies you wish to purchase, and we will HOLD your order for you to purchase directly at con for the flat rate of $35. Do not send in $30 or $35 to our paypal!


Please note that we do NOT accept "pick ups" at the con if you are planning to preorder. The $30 price is exclusive only to online orders and you must pay for shipping at that price!


Preorders will end after Anime Expo on July 2nd, 2012, all sales afterwards will depend on the supply available we have after the convention and will be sold at a rate of $35 plus shipping on a first-come first-serve basis.

  1. Excuse me, I believe I'm out of money right now. Since this is just a pre-order, are there any chance that you're going to set up the normal order after the pre-order ends? And will the price stays the same or slightly increase?

    1. Hello~
      We will be opening up "normal" orders after the preodering/convention period depending on availability of unsold books, and will be on a first come first serve basis until supplies last. The $30 price is only limited to the preorder period between now and July 2nd, after that the price will be $35+shipping for any books we have left.

      It is definitely advised to preorder as soon as you can to secure a copy at the $30 price!

    2. Ahhh!! I really wanted to preorder them. I can ask money from my parents but we made an agreement that I must get all A for my May exam.

      Depending on the peoples pre-ordering, do you think it'll able to last until after May?

    3. As I've mentioned above, the $30 will last until July 2nd, so you can definitely order after May!

  2. Do you use paypal's merchant service to send invoice for prices?

  3. I find your prices to be rather steep, as I have bought similar anthologies at considerably lower prices. Could you tell me exactly what I am paying for, because I'm very curious to know how the final amount was decided on?

    1. Hello,
      We are fully aware that $30 is not something anyone could afford and that there may be others that are capable of printing these books at much lower costs, but please keep in mind that we are not mass-producing these books due to a very limited audience. We take into account various aspects of producing this anthology and this is the lowest price we can offer to make it affordable; however while we do understand if you are not willing to pay at this price this really is the least we can offer.

      This is a 100-page B5 sized book with over half of the pages in full color. The sample illustrations have already been posted, and we will continue to put up samples of the 4koma/comics and cover pages soon.

    2. I find that understandable. What else does the $30 of each individual book cover besides simply printing?

      Who would I be contacting with the given email for both the payments and forms? One last thing, is the $5 discount the only bonus that comes with preordering?

      Delete
    3. Without going into too much detail, the books are not printed in the states, so we are actually paying extra for them to shipped over to be sold at Anime Expo. Although to be quite honest, prices are based primarily on the costs of printing (which is not cheap to begin with).

      The person in charge of handling all the orders is Kaikai (one of our guest artists listed above), but all orders must be sent to our gmail and an invoice will follow on your total price+procedures on how to send your payments.

      Unfortunately due to our unusual circumstances we are not able to provide any material bonuses for preorders, but you may request a written message or doodle under the "4) Any extra comments/special needs" section of our order form and we will to the best of our abilities fulfill your request!

    1. It will take a couple weeks to print all the books, so expect them to be shipped around May/June!

  5. Hi!
    Is this anthology available to be sent also in Italy?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I hope I can preorder this (only if I asked permission from my dad). Because I really wanted this book so badly.

  7. Will the preorders still end on July 2, 2012? (may I also know the time zone of where the deadline is based on. Thanks :) )

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hello! Technically the preorders will be closed a little early (in about a week from now), but you don't have to pay immediately after you send in your order, so as long as we get your payment by July 2nd you're good!

      This is based on the US Pacific Time Zone (UTC-8)!

    2. Thank so much for the quick reply :)

  8. Do you know around when the books will be shipped? I won't be home starting mid-july till mid august and I want to be there when it is shipped.

    1. The books should start shipping near the end of June/early July, and depending on where you live the book should arrive within a week or two (unless you pay for express shipping).

  9. How long does it take for the reply to come? I've sent an e-mail of the preorder form since around 24 hours ago and I'm worried that it has not yet been replied to.

  10. I hear you will keep pre-orders open until the 21st of this month, but I do not get paid until the 22nd. Is there any chance for me to pre-order and pay the amount on Friday? :c

    2. You can pay after pre-order, as long as it doesnt take too long :> (like..one month or so orz"). We only send out your package once you paid, so yeah xD;;

      But it's fine if you want to wait after AX! Just that we cant be sure if there will be many left U3U;

  12. Hello!

    I pre-ordered mine back in April, but I still haven't gotten it? Has it already been sent out?

    Thank you very much!

    1. Hello,

      The books should have been shipped already and we would have sent an email letting you know the package has been shipped. If you never received a confirmation about your shipment send us an email and we'll check on your order.
