Q: How can I determine if an item comes with bonus items?

Q: Is it possible to buy pre-order items on Surugaya?

Q: Why did the item I paid for become out of stock?

A: Surugaya serves customers worldwide, so the item you desire may become unavailable during the ordering process. However, many sellers would quickly restock their inventory. You can place your order again once the item is back in stock. If the seller does not restock the item you want, a full refund will be issued to you. In general, all you need is to patiently wait for the arrival of your items.

Q: How can I search for doujinshi (fan-created or self-published works) featuring specific character pairs (CP) on Surugaya?

A: You can start by searching for the CP's Japanese name using the format (Character A + space + Character B), for example, 桜木花道、流川楓. If the search results are limited, you can also try using the abbreviation of the CP's name, not necessarily the full name, for instance, 桜木、流川. Experiment with various combinations, but ensure they are all in Japanese for optimal results.
