[...] WORTH!! If it’s so epic why haven’t I written anything about it but pitiful little shout-outs, you ask? Well you see, it’s so epic that I doubt any post I write would give it [...]

actually, i called manga kissa before the sale and it seems that they would not be selling the english versions, yung jap lang. I experienced the weight difference sa Chuang Yi actually, mas mabigat ang 5 CY kesa 5 tokyopop. Btw, post ka namang ng mga pics ng whole collection mo.. Or andito na and i just haven’t seen it … hmmm, will look for it

@ning: yeah, japanese ones. I think they have some English ones too, but those were the first to have become sold out, most likely

Not sure if the VIZ and Tokyopop mangas are lighter, most of the ones I see are even bigger than their original Japanese counterparts!

but the manga’s they’re selling are the japanese ones, right? Not the english versions…

not bad for the haul. I also remember buying 40-50 volumes of manga last year… Oo mabigat yun, but i think mas magaan ang mga tokyopop and viz manga.

@kaz: According to Khursten, you can probably still contact the manager and inquire about it, they most likely have some stocks of mangas left. You can also check out their multiply site and contact them through there. Best of luck!

@Seleria: B-b-but it’s only 25 petots a piece! That price is insane! I’d be more insane if I bought all this at its original price

Oh no… What have you done. Well, I guess this won’t hurt you that much with the upcoming promotion and your massively big JLPT bonus every month. But 40 mangas? You know, you are almost an insanely impulsive buyer.

@biankita: hope you managed to grab a truckload of mangas or something

@Senna: I can totally feel with you. To think that I only went to Mandarake where the prices of the mangas is not as cheap as those in BookOff, and I managed to grab the entire Cipher bunko and some other bunkos by Yumi Tamura… I’m just glad the one I was with during the trip had some extra baggage weight to I sort of used it up

That’s awesome The first time I went into a BookOff (in Japan; there are none in my area in the U.S. ), I was shocked by all the delicious manga (and ended up buying all 10 heavy Please Save My Earth bunkos, which made my suitcase overweight — but it was so worth it!).
