Chief Detective Ken'ichi

I just found out about this Manga ()

As a Ken'ichi fan, I gotta say I'm interested, but I doubt it's available in the U.S. of A.

Has anyone here read it or knows where I can get it?

Edit: Sorry, I just realized I should have put this in the "Searching For Tezuka" category. Sorry. :oops:

Well I did the research and it turns out it's been reprinted many times.

Most recently in 2000 by Shogakukan.

Never bought a Japanese book online before so any help would be appreciated.

I can't help much, but I can at least add the ISBNs for some of the editions(according to Amazon.co.jp) - I find them easier to use as search terms than Japanese text.

For the two-volume 1980 Kodansha edition they are 4061087347 and 4061087355.
For the 1997 Shogakukan edition it's 4091974023.
For the 2000 Shogakukan edition it's 4091923941.

Amazon Japan only have stock for the Kodansha editions - they have 2 or 3 left of each volume. The 2000 edition is out of stock but you can still try your luck at ordering it and seeing if they can get it in, and the 1997 edition is unavailable new.

There's probably better ways with cheaper shipping, but I've only used amazon because I'm familiar with them and they have English versions of most pages.

I'd love to check the book out, but I know practically no Japanese, and it's not out in any other language I can read.
