Welcome to MangaTrade, the Yahoo Group designed to help readers connect to exchange manga digests they don’t want for ones they do. Whether you’re trying to complete a run of a favorite title or sample something new, I hope this forum is able to help expand your reading horizons in a convenient, inexpensive way.

First, some rules:
1. This group is not designed for people who wish to sell unwanted manga. It’s for readers who’d like to participate in a one-to-one trade of digests, regardless of cover price.
2. This site is only for manga, i.e. titles published by the the companies listed in the Files section. Titles from defunct manga publishers are also eligible for inclusion. The list is by no means final.
3. Trades should be considered final. If you find you’d like a title you’ve traded back, you can always offer another title in exchange, but it’s entirely dependent on your original trading partner. They’re under no obligation to agree.
4. In fact, no one is obligated to swap with anyone for whatever reason.
5. While every volume offered for trade should be reasonably good condition, this isn’t the place to get fussy about a bent spine or a dog-eared page. Consider what you'd want, and disclose any potential flaws.
6. All trades are private transactions between the traders, and are at their risk. Manga Trade claims no responsibility outside of keeping the group updated.
7. Shipping costs are paid by the traders.

One more suggestions: Please don't put your contact information in a message or file. Save it for e-mails with trading partners.
