Ahh nice! Hindi pa pala ako masyado naiiwan. Sana nga lang complete yung mga vol na nasa Fullybooked.
Ganda pala 'tung Attack on Titans Nakakamiss din mag basa manga puro DC comics kasi binabasa ko ngayon.

San store recommended bumili ng mga manga? Monthly ba ang release ng mga volumes or parang Graphic Novel din na 2-3 times a year lang ang release?

Ganda na pala paper na ginagamit nila! Yung huling bili ko na manga eh nung 1st year college pa'ko, almost 1 decade na. Slam dunk vol 29 yata yun basta kalaban nila Sannoh.

[Daniel]

ang alam ko lang nabibilhan ng manga yung usual bookstores: national bookstore, fully booked. pero di ko alam kung recommended sya.

[grayfox17]

sa mga comic book hobby shops like filbars, etc meron din mga manga...pero who buys them anyway when one can just read it for free online di ba?

Aside sa mga nasabi na, wala na akong ibang alam na physical stores. Eiwamangastore lang yung alam ko na online store na medyo malapit yung price sa Amazon. Php525 yung isang volume ng Attack on Titan, Php450 kapag may sale sila.

Yun nga lang hindi ko pa nasusubukang bumila sa kanila, pero baka bumili ako this week since may stock na sila ng Book Girl (novel).

3 times a year yung release ng volumes ng Attack on Titan (from Wikipedia). Check mo na lang sa website ng publisher yung release dates para sigurado.

Ahhh thanks! Same lang din pala sa release ng mga Graphic Novels. Sana lang eh pag release meron na rin agad sa Fullybooked.

Mas mura pala yung sa Fullybooked, 462Php lang http://www.fullybookedonline.com/cart/search Baka nagka Price drop lang yung Colossal edition sa Amazon kaya mas mura.

@Daniel
Meron din pala dun. Sa NationalBookstore(Trinoma) kasi puro lumang DC comics lang meron sila. Dun ako naghahanap ng mga wala na sa Fullybooked. Siguro hindi ko lang napapansin yung section for Manga.

@grayfox17
Sayang... parang walang filbars sa Trinoma. Meron comic alley kaso sa website nila wala naman manga. http://comicalley.net/products.
Para collection lang din. Tapos ko na kasi bayaran yung mga statues na kino-collect ko tapos dinrop ko na yung Action Comics and pag hindi maganda yung run nila finch sa Wonderwoman, baka idrop ko narin yun kaya magkakaroon ako extra cash.

----------------------
Napuyat ako sa Attack on Titans. Naenjoy ko sobra Pina reserve ko narin yung Volume 6-9. Sana sa Saturday dumating na.

BTW ano pa magandang manga? Gusto ko naman eh slice of life na genre ex.Honey and clover.

[OnceAnAngeL]

Hanggang Volume 20 lang pala ang Attack on Titan.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2 ... mangas-end
"according to Isayama, the series should be wrapped up by volume 20."

Kung walang delay, next year lang pala tapos na 'to

Baka mapamahal ako sa mga custom tax eh. at hindi ako marunong mag Nihongo. May Filbars pala sa SM North. TTry ko silipin yung store nila.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dumating yung mga inorder kung vol 6-9 sa Fullybooked. sinamahan ko narin nung spin off na Attack on Titan Junior High. Binigyan din ako nung DC and AoT na FCBD. Makapal yung AoT, almost kasing kapal ng 1 vol, yung DC essential din parang tpb yung kapal.



Yung pages pala nung manga ganun parin paper na gamit. Yung colossal edition lang pala yung maganda.

oks lang yan kasi for collection naman eh so sulit na yung magagastos mo sa shipping tapos dami pa choices. Nung maliit pa ko sobrang adik ako sa DBZ talagang nagpapabili pa ko sa tita ko sa japan nung mga video na walang subtitle at books na walang translation, kahit pure japanese at hindi ko maintindihan ang sulat oks naman, iba kasi pakiramdam pag super orig ang koleksyon mo hehe. In the event na kelangan mo i-resell mataas ang value nyan kasi authentic straight from japan di ba?

Tsaka tyagain mo din mag scout online kung san mas makakamura bumili makakatsamba ka din.

Gusto ko rin kasi magamit eh. Parang sayang lang pag hindi ko rin nababasa.

Tumataas ba value ng mga tankobon? Parang nagkaka reprint naman and sobrang prone pa mag yellow yung pages niya.





Yung Bleach mga around 2005(?) ko binili
SlamDunk 29 2006
Love Hina 2002(?)

Ang Yellow na sobra ng pages. Hindi ko iningatan yung mga yun pero marami ako nababasa oL na nag yyellow daw talaga sila overtime.

Yung I's and slamdunk 2 siguro late 90s pa pero Hindi parin nag yyellow yung pages. Ang nakakatawa lang Pirate/fake yata yun pero mas maganda yung papers na ginamit sa pages.

Anyway. Pag natapos ko na yung Attack on Titan and mga spin offs niya baka mag one piece naman ako. Kaso ang mahal nung 1-23 ng Fullybooked.

------------------------------------

Maganda din pala yung AoT junior high. Medyo depressing and dark yung main story kaya maganda din basahin yun in-between.

[Oink McOink]

Woah, meron Claymore sa Fully booked, sa wakas, mabibili ko na volume 17 and up. Mahal kasi special order sa NBS.

Baka mapamahal ako sa mga custom tax eh.

I haven't bought manga for awhile now. But I been buying items from ebay from sellers in the US for a couple of months now. I learned alot of things.

Despite how reliable USPS (US Postal service), I've lost one package to PHLPost. That's why I require all my shipping to have a tracking number. At least, if the postal service lose my package. I can easily ask the postal service to refund me because they can easily track the mail and verify that it really did get loss. USPS is still good, they will get your package in here within 2-3 weeks. It's PHLPost is I don't trust.

Custom Tax is a hit or miss. There have been times I paid more than 1k. And sometimes, it's just a couple hundred of bucks. Despite how the items I been buying are practically from the same category. The tax is computed based on the items value. So if you can somehow show the customs officers a a lower value. The tax is very minimal as well. You need to show, proof of payment. Since I use paypal, I show them email message paypal gives to me after I made a payment. Since the email has very few details. They can be sometime be fooled by it. I had shipment came from the US but the paypal payment I've showed was a package I bought in another country. Since the custom officer is kinda old. He didn't check the details in the email. Use your phone to check the email.

But what I recommend is you use Johnny Air, if you are buying in the US. The charge you based on package weight. It's $5.99 per pound plus $5 handling fee. The total dollar value is then converted to pesos. And pesos amount will be charged with 12% VAT. No Custom tax was charged to me.

For example. I shipped an item recently. Here's the computation.

It's a 7 lbs. package. So $5.99 x 7 = $41.93 + $5 (handling fee) = $46.93 x P45.60 = P 2,140.01 + P 256.80 (12% VAT) = P2,396.81

I know, it's still alot of money. But trust me, my friend tells me that's alot cheaper than what he paid for. He was paying like $120 more for shipping and custom tax. And my package was faster by 4 days.

I know, Amazon has quite the extensive stock of manga. You can try to buy your manga there. Then have Johnny Air shipped your manga.

[Oink McOink]

If the item I want to buy is half a pound, the charge will still be 5.99? I'm curious but not for buying manga.

RIght now, there's plenty of cheaper ways to obtain the manga you want. There's Fully Booked, National Bookstore's Special Book order. Even LBC now offers "Buy from the US to your doorsteps" kind of service.

I ordered a game guide last week from NBS and their price was reasonable enough considering it isn't available in this country.

Ano original price nung guide and magkano yung binayad mo? Nag ooffer din yung Fullybooked sakin dati ng Special order(?)

@Xanshi
Mahal pala yung cost ng shipping.
Fullybooked muna ako. May mga perks na din kasi ako dahil regular costumer ako dun.


--------------------------------------------
Share ko lang.




Nakaktuwa lang dahil may mga h real life/pop culture reference.

[Oink McOink]

Ano original price nung guide and magkano yung binayad mo? Nag ooffer din yung Fullybooked sakin dati ng Special order(?)

Last of us remastered BradyGames game guide paperback. $19.30. The NBS quote was Php1,305. I asked din yung nagoorder sa US for you, yung nasa bazaar here and he/she quoted 1,700.

I special ordered "A Brave New World" By Aldous Huxley from Fully Booked but that was years ago, I think I paid around 700 for it. I'm not sure if it was pulled from other branches or specially ordered abroad.

The benefit of NBS's special order is if you're really a picky fan. Because special order books doesn't come with those price stickers and anti-theft stickers. All 32 of my manga are from NBS SO, no tags, nothing.

Nakaktuwa lang dahil may mga h real life/pop culture reference.

You shall not pass.. lol

Not bad narin ah... considering mabibigat din ang strategy guides ng BradyGames. San pwede mag pa qoute ng Price? Baka pag bulk ang orderin ko eh bigayn ako discount.

---------------------
13 and 15 nalang tapos AoT:Before the Fall naman ang bibilhin ko.

[Oink McOink]

^Pwede ka maginquire sa website nila. It might take 3 to 5 days before they reply though. The fastest way eh just go to any branch, inquire, gala konti then come back. On weekdays though, kasi the customer service rep will call pa about availability and pricing and who they call doesn't work on Saturdays and Sundays. Then down-payment ng half nung price ng book. 3-4 weeks waiting period.

Or you can do the NBS website inquiry, print their quote and bring it to any branch (on weekdays din).

Yeah, I've been dealing with them alot, the customer service rep at my nearest branch actually know me by name now.

EDIT: It will help to write down the ISBN (in amazon, it's the ISBN-13) when you go directly to the branch (or inquire at their website), they will find it faster and there won't be any confusion if there are other versions of what you want.

[OnceAnAngeL]

Ok din pala yung Doraemon. Doraemon and Attack on Titans nalang muna ccollect ko.

Tanda na ni Nobita. August 7, 1962 bday niya bali 53 years old na dapat siya ngayon.

[Oink McOink]

Hindi ba namatay yung mangaka ng Doraemon? Parang may nagsabi sa akin na iba na yung nagtuloy nung manga.
