Miscellaneous how do LQ raws exists?

[Y-on]

Let's all cease the arguing and stop acting like the number of times you're right is penis size (luckily everyone who posted here was a guy). I'm pretty sure the question is answered by now, I was curious about it also, but just to throw it in, I've always wondered where spoiler images come from.

Huh? Not really...

Spoiler pics and spoiler summaries are on tuesday, wednesday. What you mean is early raws which are scanned on friday (like naruto, bleach, so on...) when the magazine is on sale on mondays.

aren't spoilers out on Sundays and Mondays?

... i guess time difference is the problem? different time zones..all that?
n i think that scanners get they jump mailed so that would take bout 2-3 delivery days. then they scan it on thurs/fri (notice the word I THINK)

maybe a scanner should answer this question haha

Nah, actually it's more ironic than that. Ever since the famous arrest 2 years back or so, I don't think the Japanese bookstores actually got their stock that early. As far as I know, there are 2 sources:

Spoiler: Inside job. Mostly the workers of the printing company taking shots with their phones. That's where you get the spoilers and such (most of the time).

RAWs: Bookstores outside of Japan. These places will get their stocks early prior to the actual Monday sale day. Usually in HK, east China and Taiwan, iirc. US bookstores get these a day later compared to these places. Probably why you'll see Chinese scanaltions usualyl are out early, even before we get our raws.

So, you can see that the RAWs are actually not coming from Japan, most of the time.

I see...so how can i buy the original japanese raw volume then? (where to, the price and the payment process)

Hmmm... I'll just answer for both mediums, just in case (although I'm pretty sure this was answered somewhere else a few times).

If you're looking for the early magazine, then your best bet is your local bookstores, give and take a day late than the online RAWs (if it's available in your place of course). Some bookstores even get it a week late.

If you actually do mean the volumes, if it's not available in your bookstores, then online buying is your only way, unless you want to search for other places in Indonesia or fly to Malaysia, Thailand or Singapore to buy it ^^;; (judging from your flag).
