Books Kinokuniya

I found out somehow that it's made by Japanese, you know, it's made by Japanese people.

It's a Japanese show, you know? So it's, can I go to Kinokuniya? Can I go to a Japanese bookstore? Hey, look, they've got all of this other stuff, you know? So it, it, you know, that I need more of this thing.

I really like that I saw on TV.

Um, I need to go discover more about it kind of ends up, you know, you go down these roads and it leads you to anime and more anime.

I don't mind go- I did this before.

Now, I went to Kinokuniya, which is in, um, Columb- what is it? 59th Street.

Mm-hmm.

That's a manga bookstore.

And then to see it finally on the shelves, you know, it's in Krabudaya, it's in a lot of independent bookstores.

And recently I've seen it in Kinokuniya online bookstore as well.

Kinokuniya is where I went in my childhood to get books, right? So it's been quite a fulfilling experience.

And actually what's really fulfilling is hearing feedback such as yourself, Darshan, that you really enjoyed the book.

It puts into perspective all of those hours are not wasted, right? So thank you for

Because it came out last month, so trust me.

If I can't find it at Books Kinokuniya, I will find it at Animate.

Hell, there is a Remigo Takahashi.

I got to pick up the Colors fan book.

I didn't buy anything, but I enjoyed it.

We're talking about Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore, which I know...

Christina

and

Yes.

Apparently.

So Kinokuniya always has a booth at Anime NYC, but I prefer going to the actual store because one, it's a very short walk away from the New Yorker.

Two, it is a three floor bookstore.

The hardest to find... genre one of you know mainstream genres is horror you know any place that sells vhs is like horror vhs are like hard to kind of come across and i think the people who work there take the good shit for themselves and then put everything else out on the floor like we have uh a few half-priced books here in town and the half-priced brooks and uh half-priced books in austin is fantastic and Not only do they have like really good books, I also have come across some really good magazines there because I still collect magazines.

Like just yesterday, I went to Kinokuniya.

They're sitting right here.

I'm dropping shit.

I went over to Kinokuniya and got two copies of Popeye magazine.

Okay.

I got one's like a fashion issue.

So Law of Ueki came out and I was like, I really like this show, but the subs are so far behind.

So I went to Kinokuniya, found out just where we were, the subs, and then I just bought the rest of the series.

And I just took a Japanese dictionary and just looked up each line.

It was like, okay, okay.

Yeah.

Like, you have to, like, whether, because in the States, you can go to, Popeye and like a lot of the Japanese magazines, Casa at Kinokuniya, New York, like to have a store, they have an online store.

It's just, yeah, it's going to cost like, it's going to cost like double.

And now they're printing

Yeah, the English version of Popeye or whatever in Japan costs double the price of the not English version.

And I thought that maybe it's because they want to sell it around the same retail when it gets to...

The, you know, the New York Kinokuniya or something like that, maybe.

I think it's for the tourists here.
