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. :D
Nakaktuwa lang dahil may mga h real life/pop culture reference. :lol:
You shall not pass.. lol

^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. :D

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.

May space sa gitna, unlike sa Sankarea na kailangan mong buksan nang todo para mabasa mo yung words sa gitna. Yung iba hindi pa mabasa.

I love Bakuman pero di na ako makabili ng mga volumes because of gaming. Pero one time nakakita ako ng volume sa BookSale, binili ko kagad. One of this days pag di na ako panic buying sa games. :D

Ah, popular enough to get reprinted. Hhhm.. mura?

If it wasn't for the TV series, I wouldn't have known na popular yung Attack on Titan. Have you read Claymore? I think that manga ended this year. I have up to volume 16. When I researched AoT, there were some comparison to Claymore (being medieval looking and dark)

I would say Attack on TItan is a sort of spiritual successor of Claymore.

I also see you have some fanservice manga, I've kinda grown tired of those kind. I have to admit that having an anti-magic ability in a magical world is kinda cool, but the fanservice is somewhat of a "why?!" for me. I think it's for Mangaka who's uncertain whether their ideas are good enough.

I just read chapter 129 of Rave. :( I want a spin-off about an alternate universe featuring the couple (spoiler) in that chapter.

May bago na namang harem candidate sa Girls of the Wild's. Wala na ngang screen time si Go Seul.

Nung namasyal ako sa National Bookstore kanina nakakita ako ng Fairy Tail at Shingeki no Kyojin na manga, 199 PHP. Bibili na sana ako, pagbuklat ko tagalog :sweat:

Regarding RAVE.. Also a pairing that didn't happen (SPOILERS). One of the most emotional chapter in the manga.

Nakita ko rin yung Shingeki no Kyojin sa National Bookstore. Nagdalawang-isip na ako bumili nung napansin ko na parang mas maliit kumpara sa napublish ng Yen Press.

Natapos ko rin basahin yung Rave. Mas na-enjoy ko siguro kung di ako na-spoil kung ano yung nangyari kay Sieghart tsaka dun sa ibang details/mysteries.
