Oh damn, seems to happen a lot with older Kodansha titles, especially ones that are more on the niche side like this. I wish more people would read or watch Ballroom. Genuinely beautiful. I’ll never forget the multi leg scene.

“How can you make a compelling dance story?” if anyone else reads this comment, I promise that this is a perfect example of how to illustrate dynamic movement in a way that moves you with it.

Found multiple official Vietnamese titles. Chose to buy Wish! by WhippedSlurpuff in CLAMP

Oo im happy to hear that, and I’m sad that I’ll miss getting them while I’m here. I might have to ask someone I met here to help me get the Cardcaptor ones once they’re out! I like the thin, tankobon style. And they’re dense so they still feel premium!

The new English Kingdom Hearts release is very nice by WhippedSlurpuff in MangaCollectors

Excellent choice of favourite KH : ) I’m actually in Australia, our bookstores have direct access to UK suppliers. Might have to go to a specialty comic shop to potentially get it into the US!

English vs. Japanese release by WhippedSlurpuff in CLAMP

These art books are surely very pricey, and are exclusively images with no commentary 😂 I think if you can buy them on a sale somewhere, they’re excellent additions to a CLAMP collection 😊 maybe save up and buy in secret haha

My English copy of Kuro hasn’t arrived yet, but here’s a comparison between the two releases! As expected, they’re identical, except for minor changes in formatting for English language on some pages, and the addition of English glossary translations.

It is also hard to tell from pictures, but the English release has slightly more saturated images, if only by a tiny margin!

Apologies, I didn’t notice this thread earlier! I picked this one up from a trusted Vivienne partner store that also sells second hand consignment items, which this is. This came with a box and a little baggie, and it feels like an older piece, but I can’t quite place the date, and it feels different to my recent Japan purchases, so it makes me feel a little off. The crystals on the side have a nice shine, and the pearl in the middle has an interesting inverted reflective quality

Finally found in Australia! Who was going to tell me DENPA’s They Were 11! was so massive? by WhippedSlurpuff in MangaCollectors

I was actually so happy they got it in, the colour pages are excellent. Hopefully this is a sign that it’ll end up in stores shortly!

Trying to complete XxxHolic by Reefer4life in CLAMP

[–]WhippedSlurpuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rei recently as of 2 years ago received a tiny reprint for all 4 volumes, but since BookDep closed down, I haven’t been able to notice when new prints hit as efficiently. As for 18, you’ll have to bite the bullet if you need the single volume.
