Our Story

JapanResell started with two passionate friends: Mathis (25) and Baptiste (26). Since we were kids, we have been exploring the world of manga, pre-publication magazines, rare artbooks and trading cards. Over the years, this shared passion has turned into real expertise.

Mathis and Baptiste, founders of JapanResell

The project was born at the end of our business studies and grew step by step: we structured and professionalised our import and distribution methods, until we officially founded JapanResell in January 2022.

Our mission is simple: to give you access to the most sought-after Japanese products, with no unnecessary middlemen.

A direct link with Japan

We work with partners based in Tokyo all year round, and we travel to Japan regularly to source products ourselves. This lets us follow new releases in real time and offer you an authentic, constantly renewed selection: pre-publication magazines, artbooks, merchandise from limited-time exhibitions, official trading cards, goodies and much more.

Close to our community

Every year, you can meet us at several fairs and conventions, such as Japan Expo: must-attend events to meet and share with fellow fans.

We also run giveaways and work with many players in the industry, from independent shops to major retailers, to bring the world of manga and collecting to life.

Today

After nearly five years in business, thousands of customers trust us, and many share their experience on Judge.me and Trustpilot. Their satisfaction remains at the heart of our mission, and we run JapanResell every day with the same passion as on day one.
