Nabari French Release

Jan 23, 2009 21:21

Just stumbled across them and they made me O_O

Vol 1, Vol 2. Or here here at the publisher's page.

MAY I say, that what they did to the covers is horrible?
And it seems that there are no colour pages. And then they are rather expensive....

On the other hand the release dates are really fast. Vol 1-2 come out in about a week and then it goes 2-monthly.

...why would they do that. and what happened to the 'no ou'?

and those are actually pretty cheap, ignoring the shipping and handling.

Naa, the title is still the smallest problem. (In the Anime they only used the Nabari part of the title in the romajis if I remember correctly).

And no, I don't think it's any bit cheap at all. There are other Mangas/Manwahs (Like Platina or Little Queen I bought) which are all below 7€. (or around 6,60).
The most common price in Germany is also 6,50. (AND many of those have colour pages or miny poster. Through not all.)

But I agree in the other meaning of cheap. They are CHEAPLY made.
Really. How could they pick this horrible fonts? the japanese Kanjis looked a bit into the direction of calligraphy, but this is just horrible.

...

Oh, I went into my rant mode again, so I better stop...

That reminds me. French volumes have dust jackets. If I were to get them I could still put the Japanese jackets over them. :\

well, the average price in America is $10, which is about what the French Nabari costs.

l-lol the font is ugly. 8U I don't really care about covers though.

OH BUT BUT
the cover is an important part of the book you know !!
The illustration and all, it's something that appeal the consumer and make them want to see more :D

I don't think you would open a book you don't know if the cover is ugly :/

I just came to realize some meaning in why GFantasy would release other jackets as an extra....

rooftop_scenery January 24 2009, 22:14:33 UTC

Heh, really ? Haha, it seems like "cover books" is a good stuff to make money this days, I've seen some "cover book" with "new" illustration, just to "cover" more your book (I just saw it for Reborn, but I guess they do is for some other series, huh)

For all I know, these DUst covers are hated in Germany, which is why there are none. The only series that still has it is 20th Century Boys, but that one's not too popular...

But then, Germany doesn't have much Merchendising at all. For most part we have a lot of colour pages as an extra (if at all, they are killing them, too. T__T) Sometimes postcards. But that was it pretty much.... (Oh we also has some plastic fugure. I think 3?)

shrocomemos January 24 2009, 22:09:46 UTC

...I mostly look at titles, actually. especially if the only part of the book you can see if the spine.

rooftop_scenery January 24 2009, 22:12:52 UTC

Haa, yeah you're right... But even like this, arn't you even more teased whith the cover ? Because only with the title, if the cover is ugly (oh, i'm repeating myself XD)

Well, I don't know... I'm crazy about books, and the covers is an important part of it for me (like I always let it home when i'm bringing a manga outside)
