ツバサRESERVoirCHRoNiCLE
I was able to find the first ten volumes of deluxe tsubasa for a steal online for only 15 bucks:] Shipping was crazy but it was so worth it!
this is the back of one of the books with the price which is about 11 dollars here
two people..
But to where can they go
Going. Sakura absolutely cannot be dead

Ebay Vs. Yahoo Japan...
So, I'm sure most of us have had the misery of wanting a cosplay and the natural instinct is to go online since there is usually not a cosplay shop on your local market street. Well, either you spend a few hundred on a outfit from cosplay magic or go to ebay...So youre looking around on ebay and let's say you come across this picture 
(real)
and decide to buy it for one hundred some odd dollars. A few weeks later you get your dress in the mail and it looks something like this
(rip off)
.... This is just one example and if you search the internet on various con and anime sites there are even more complaints.
Once i find the others i have previously come across i will upload them, because believe me, it gets worse!
But, if you are looking for a good inespensive costume go to japanauctioncenter.com and get an account. They make it possible for you to buy all the epic-ness on Yahoo japan youve always wanted, even though sellers do not ship internationally! You bid on your items through them, once you have won the bid the item is shipped to their warehouse in japan and then to you at an actually incredibly low price:D
But, if you are still not sure just go to ebay and look for traces of erased watermarks and you will understand why it is easier to buy from YJ...
This is a seller on ebay who took this picture from the seller Prettyu168 on Yahoo japan. How do I know? Because of this
If you look closely on the ebay one you can see where the seller tried to take off the watermark. It is not as noticable on their other pictures but you can still tell. You can also see where they took a tool on paint and attempted to blend in the background on the edge of the dress where the watermark is(and also that the ebay sellers pic is lesser quality from where they zoomed in to get the first half of the pic taken off).
And one other, different ebay seller, same idea
Prettyu168's picture
Again, If you look right below the kanji you can see the half butt attempt at removing Prettyu's watermark, also, right next to that you can see the watermark from the other side of the picture which was cut off.
I hope I provided enough info to show people just how shaddy "businesses" can be.
Buyers beware, I did this to try to decrease the chance of someone else being ripped off. Hope I helped^^
