Collecting Japanese Books

Japanese books are a large passion of mine. 

I got the Magical Popcorn book from our local street library. 

I bought the Hinagon books at Hondarake, once I found out that they were there. 

*From May 2022 onwards, I’ve already got reprint volume 2 Shōnen Buruuba by the fabled doujinshi reprinting circle Apple Box Create (アップルBOXクリエート), but it still pains me so much that mum and I couldn’t buy reprint volume 1, just as it already got sold out on Mandarake last year during mid-pandemic. We’ll request for volume 1 of Shōnen Buruuba by Apple Box Create again, this time for Christmas 2022 or the next few years. 

On December the 5th, I have seen the first of perhaps 3 proposed Zamba volumes, which got sold on Yahoo Auctions Japan already. I will simply wait until 2025 to get it and two other future volumes if I can mail Apple box create.  

I bought Son of the Dawn, thinking that it was a jungle boy manga, when in fact it was a depressing civil war manga. Ehh? It’s an interesting read, as it may have been an unofficial basis for the infamous Nepalese movie Jungle Love. 

Nowadays, since May 2023, I’ve got a pair of Kenya Boy manga volumes on my shelf. With the second Shōnen Buruuba volume sitting on top of them.
