Terms of Service

Last updated: May 13, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Manga Treasures website (https://manga-treasures.jp) and any related services we provide. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Service Overview

Manga Treasures provides a curated subscription service delivering Japanese manga volumes directly from Japan. Each monthly shipment is hand-selected by our team based on your chosen plan.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our service, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By placing an order, you confirm that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete.

3. Account and Registration

Certain features of our service may require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Please notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorized access.

4. Orders and Payment

All prices are displayed in USD. Payment is processed securely through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on file on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel.

Subscription renewals are charged automatically on your billing date unless you cancel before that date via the Customer Portal accessible from your billing email.

5. Shipping and Delivery

All orders are shipped from Tokyo, Japan. Delivery times vary by destination and are subject to carrier schedules and customs clearance. Manga Treasures is not responsible for delays caused by postal services, shipping carriers, customs authorities, or other circumstances beyond our control.

6. Customs and Import Fees

Customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or handling fees imposed by their country. Refusal to pay such fees may result in your package being returned or destroyed; no refund will be provided in such cases.

7. Risk of Loss

All items are shipped under an international shipping contract. Risk of loss and title for items pass to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier.

8. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Due to the curated and international nature of our service, returns and cancellations for customer convenience are not accepted once a shipment has been dispatched.

If you receive a defective or damaged item, please contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of delivery with photographs. We will arrange a replacement or credit at our discretion.

You may cancel your subscription at any time via the Customer Portal accessible from your billing email. To avoid being charged for the next renewal, cancellations must be completed at least 3 days before your renewal date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and no partial refunds are provided for unused time.
