^Only directly. The overseas publisher had to pay money to the Japanese publisher for distribution rights- some of which presumably goes to the author- and they are likely to buy more of their work for overseas if it actually sells well for them.
I still proffer to have them in English if I can- but I will order from Japan if its not an option- for stuff I really love.
I'd do it more often if it was easier- but it can be a pain in the ass from so sites.
Also @Lilliwyt - 7 seas did girl friends and I wasn't a huge fan of their version. Still worth buying tho.
