You can buy digital copies from Amazon.JP, but they aren’t going to ship a physical copy oversea as far as I’m aware, not sure how cards work as well, mine doesn’t work, so I’ve had to buy Japanese Amazon gift cards, but my PayPal works directly on other sites
Beyond that it’s always nice to check the creators Twitter and see if they have a direct way to show them a little support, I give a few of them a couple bucks each month that way along with picking up English releases
Depending on region, you can directly order many officially published manga as well, they even have a help page describing it (kinda), but keep in mind the shipping fee is going to be $50+ fairly often. Buying digital copies is the way to go generally, but keep in mind that digital copies have their own technicalities. In the case of Yuri Hime, digital copies sold are not counted towards continuation of serializations. This is quite different from saying that buying them is meaningless, which I would not do. Otherwise would echo that the best way to ensure financial support to an artist you like is to support them directly on Fanbox (or similar). Those sites will take a much smaller cut than manga publishers.
Anyway, probably good to not get carried away too much further.
