誠に勝手ながら12/22までにご連絡のない場合は入荷済の商品のみで発送させて頂きます。ご了承下さい。
Translation: "Hey, you know that manga you wanted? Well, we couldn't get it from the publisher, so now we have to cancel it. The other items in your order are all in stock, but your account is set to 'only ship when everything is in stock' and when we say everything, we mean EVERYTHING, including canceled items! So you need to change your settings before December 22nd, at which point we will realize that it's impossible to ship a canceled item and ship your order anyway. We can't do it before then, though! That would just be silly."
Seriously? If one item is canceled, and the rest are all in stock, doesn't that mean everything in my order is now in stock and it can be shipped? It's not like there's some option to wait another month to see if they get it in stock, it's canceled no matter what. So why the crap do I need to change my settings?
Also, Sagatte Omachikudasai is totally back in stock at Amazon now. I would have just let them ship it to me by itself (a couple months ago when it was in my Amazon order and they shipped everything else without it) if I'd known it was going to be this much of a pain to get my hands on it. (And the dumb thing is, I don't even know if it's good or anything, but now it's going to drive me crazy until I get it.)
