Blackwell’s and Walt’s cover three of the four books; Nerdom assumes all four in stock. / Off Model Where you buy depends on what you need. To browse in person, start with [Ant Comics]() in Nicosia. For a bigger local online catalogue, try [Cypronite]() and [Prelium Collectibles](). Missing a volume? Ask for it by ISBN. Ordering from abroad? Compare the delivered total, not the cover price. Prices and stock are a snapshot from 16 October 2026.

The Shop | Gifts and merch | Free Cyprus delivery above €40 | Mostly merchandise | | Cypronite | Big local online catalogue | Series navigation and custom requests | Limassol-based | | Prelium | Collector-friendly orders | Bagged, boarded and well packed | Shipping shown at checkout | | Book Odyssey | Low prices from Greece | All four audited books listed | Cyprus delivery by weight | | Nerdom (Greece) | Big English range plus merch | Flat €11.99 DHL to Cyprus | Stock varies by volume | | Protoporia / Politeia (Greece) | Wide Greek bookshop catalogues | Protoporia: €6.90 BOX NOW to Cyprus | Free-shipping offers exclude Cyprus | | amazon.de | Box sets and heavier parcels | Standard delivery to Cyprus | Pick Amazon-sold EU stock | | Blackwell’s | Predictable totals | Prices include Cyprus delivery and customs | Higher prices | ## Local shelves and Cyprus-based catalogues Ant Comics is the island’s clearest specialist shop, with a dedicated manga section and a [shop in Nicosia](). Online orders go out on Wednesdays. The range is smaller than the big catalogues, so it’s best for grabbing what’s in stock right now. [Parga]() mixes English books and Greek-language manga, with free BOX NOW delivery above €38. Public Cyprus is handy for looking up an ISBN at a familiar chain. In my [continuity check](), most sampled Public books were supplier orders, so expect a wait on anything marked “available to order”. [POW! The Shop]() is better for anime and manga gifts than for a long series, and it [delivers free across Cyprus]() above €40. Cypronite has the biggest Cyprus-based manga catalogue I found, and a [custom comic request form]() for anything it doesn’t stock. Emailing them with a special request works too. Prelium, another Cyprus-based specialist, bags and boards individual comics and ships in rigid packaging, which is nice for collector copies. For what was actually on local shelves, see the [summer 2026 shelf check](). Convention stalls are another once-a-year route, though at [Cyprus Comic Con 2026]() I found fewer surprises than I hoped. ## Ask by ISBN An [ISBN]() pins down the exact title, edition and format, so it’s the quickest way to get the right book. Send it with the volume number and ask for the delivered price and dispatch date. Cypronite’s form and [Book Odyssey’s book-finding form]() both take requests; Book Odyssey is in Greece, so add Cyprus delivery to its quote. ## Example: tracking down Kagurabachi Vol. 8 On 16 October, the English VIZ volume 8 (ISBN 9781974716500) wasn’t listed at Ant Comics, Cypronite, Prelium, Parga, POW!, Public (which stops at volume 7), Book Odyssey or Protoporia. Here’s what getting it to Cyprus looked like: **Kagurabachi Vol. 8 delivered to Cyprus, 16 October 2026** | Option | Delivered | Timing | | --- | --- | --- | | Cypronite special order | €15 (€13 + €2 BOX NOW) | Mid-November | | Skroutz (Gamescom, Greece) | About €14.30 (€9.80 + €4.50) | Est. 22 October, 2 copies listed | | Blackwell’s | €19.55, customs included | In stock | | Walt’s | €29.29 (€10.79 + €18.50 DHL) | Pre-order | When I asked, Cypronite quoted three to four weeks, no customs. A missing volume doesn’t mean ordering abroad, so ask a local shop first. For one book, flat shipping like Walt’s eats the saving. Links: [Skroutz](), [Blackwell’s](), [Walt’s](). ## Four opening volumes, five shops I priced four popular first volumes by exact English ISBN. Then I built guest baskets to see the delivered price to Cyprus, without paying. **Four-book price check with test baskets, 16 October 2026** | Book and ISBN | Book Odyssey | Blackwell’s | Skroutz Cyprus | Walt’s | Nerdom | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | The Summer Hikaru Died v1 · 9781975360542 | €17.21 | €22.20 | From €15.49 | €14.99 · pre-order | €17.99 · out of stock | | Solo Leveling comic v1 · 9781975319434 | €21.19 | Not listed | From €17.78 | €19.99 · pre-order | €22.99 | | Kaguya-sama v1 · 9781974700301 | €10.59 | €19.25 | From €9.32 | €8.99 · sold out | €10.99 · out of stock | | One Piece v1 · 9781569319017 | €9.50 | €20.05 | From €8.58 | €10.79 · pre-order | €11.99 · sold out | | Books total | €58.49 | €61.50 (three) | €51.17 | €45.77 (three) | €63.96 | | Delivered to Cyprus | €68.49 (BOX NOW) · €73.49 courier | €61.50 (three), delivery and customs included | €60.17 (2 shipments) | €64.27 (three) | €75.95 if all in stock | The short version: Skroutz was the cheapest way to get all four delivered (€60.17), Book Odyssey the cheapest single shop with all four (€68.49 via BOX NOW), and Blackwell’s is a strong pick for three books with no extras at checkout. [Book Odyssey]() is the cheapest single shop with all four: €10 to a BOX NOW locker in Cyprus (€15 by courier), since its free shipping is Greece-only. Walt’s had three of the four, now listed as pre-orders. Cyprus counts as an “EU Islands & Special Territories” destination, so DHL is a flat €18.50 and the free EU shipping over €150 [doesn’t apply](). [Blackwell’s]() is the no-surprises option: its prices include Cyprus delivery and customs, with delivery in 10–15 business days. [Skroutz Cyprus]() came out cheapest delivered: the four best offers from different shops cost €51.17 plus €9 standard shipping for two shipments (€4.50 with Skroutz Plus). [Nerdom](), an Athens pop-culture shop, would be €75.95 delivered, but only Solo Leveling was in stock on the day. Other Greek shops ship here too: [Protoporia]() sends to BOX NOW lockers in Cyprus for €6.90, and [Politeia]() quotes overseas shipping before you pay. For box sets, amazon.de ships standard to Cyprus; the [Amazon delivery guide]() has the rates and tips. ## EU orders skip customs Books [shipped from within the EU]() carry no customs duty, so the only extra is shipping. Since 1 July 2026, parcels [from outside the EU]() worth up to €150 carry a flat €3 duty per item, plus VAT and often a courier clearance fee. The [Amazon guide]() explains the rule, and the [Real Cost piece]() shows how those extras add up. If you’re open to digital, the [manga apps guide]() covers what works in Cyprus and what it costs. ## Quick picks - One book: check local stock first. - A missing volume: ask a local shop by ISBN. - Several books: Skroutz and Book Odyssey were the cheapest delivered. - Non-EU orders: add VAT, the €3 duty and a courier fee before comparing. - Collector copies: go for a shop that packs well. Happy hunting. The best deal is the one where you know the final price and the edition before you pay. ## Sources 1. [Manga catalogue](), Ant Comics (accessed 2026-10-16) 2.
