how to buy at surpara

Surfers Paradise is a website that sells digital doujinshi, much like Digiket. Its catalog seems to be a bit less diverse than Digiket, but Shoutaroh Kojima fans will rejoice - it carries the exact same Kojiman doujin as Digiket! In fact, he just released a new book, called Nicchi Bocchi Station 2 - it's an apparent sequel to his Bakuman. book called Nicchi Bocchi Station from April 2010, but instead of featuring the chubby Miura, this new release's hunk of choice is our beloved 16-year old muscle monster slash football player, Rikiya Gaou from Eyeshield 21.

The best part about SurPara is that, unlike Digiket, it accepts credit cards! No need to buy WebMoney to make purchases at SurPara: all it requires is a credit card and an email address. You don't even need to register (Digiket does if you want to use WebMoney, check my guide here). The whole ordering process takes all of five simple steps that I'll show in pretty self-explanatory screenshots.

1st step: click the red button to add the doujinshi you want to the cart. Doing this will take you to the next screen:

2nd step: click the button to proceed to checkout. Pretty straightforward right?

3rd step: check the box next to the red text. Fill the forms with your email address (my hotmail.com account worked just fine). Choose "Credit Card" as your payment mode, then click the button proceed.

4th step: make sure all the information is correct, then click the button to proceed.

Final step: fill the form with your credit card information. Cardholder name, credit card number and expiration date. Then click the button.

After this, check your email inbox. You should have received an email with the download link. Just follow it, download your quality porn and fap to your heart's content! Buying at SurPara is super easy, and cheaper than Digiket too since you're paying n yen instead of having to buy a 1000-yen WebMoney card for 1200 yen.

digiket registration

In order to be able to pay with with WebMoney at Digiket, you now need to be registered. This is a quick tutorial on registering, starting from the front page. You do NOT need a Japanese proxy for this procedure!


1st step: click the circled button in the banner. It will take you to this page, a secure connection.


2nd step: Look for the 電子マネー (electronic money) option, then click the button to advance to the next step.


3rd step: Now you have to fill in the form. The first box has to be checked, it means you agree to the terms. Then it's name, sex, birth date, postal code, phone number, email address and something about a bishoujo magazine I checked anyway because the tutorial I read at ib4f's /bara/ board told me to. You can make up those info, but be sure to remember them (at least birth date, postal code and phone number) cause you'll use them later. If you put too many characters in those fields, it'll display an error and you have to fix it - the ones in the pic have the precise number of characters needed.

Email address can be an issue. I tried using my regular email addresses but those wouldn't work. Therefore, I recommend signing up for a free Japanese-based webmail service. I used Fastmail.jp, which was recommended by the tutorial at /bara/, and it worked perfectly.

(EDIT: my friend Shawn has assured me Gmail works too. So there is absolutely no need for a Japanese email account to register, then - or anything Japanese whatsoever!)


4th step: Just confirm the data you are sending, and click the button. If it takes you to a blank page with only a message saying "申し込み申請内容に問題があります。", it means your application has a problem. With me, that problem was the email address - when I tried putting a @fastmail.jp, it worked just fine.

After that, wait for the confirmation email, click the link, confirm your birth date, phone number and zip code and you are all set. Feel free to start your spending spree, but don't forget to buy some WebMoney at Kanetrade or SuToCorp first!
