This has nothing related to the usual stuff I do on this blog, but I shall make this to-buy book list for the sake of showing everyone that I do not only read scanlations but I also support the author where available. Eh…not that anyone has commented on that, but anyway! (I feel guilty reading scanlations, that’s what.)
So if you’re planning to visit Thailand…well, the books are all in Thai so I don’t even know what you plan to do if you’re going to the book fair. But hey, you’re always welcomed!
1st Booth: Luckpim (Coordinate: Y08, Ballroom)
Luckpim has the BEST quality of localization out of all manga publishers I’ve read so far.
Here’s what I plan to buy:
Pupa Vol. 1
The Ancient Magus’s Bride Vol. 1-2
7th Garden 1-2
Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas 1-2
2nd Booth: Phoenix (X08, Main Floor)
Up and coming newcomer to the Thai publishing world, Phoenix’s got Bungou Stray Dogs and Kimi no Na Wa, so no doubt they’re up to something.
To buy:
Youjo Senki Vol.1 (novel)
3rd Booth: Punica (N52, C1)
If you’re a YA reader in Thailand there is no way in hell you have not heard of Punica Publishing. They are a Thai content creator aiming to creating a world of mystery and darkness…okay, I suck at explaining, but they have good stuff. And if you live in Malaysia, you’re probably familiar with the company’s spear head “Garin”, the black magic maniac.
To buy:
Black Documentary Vol. 3
Guardian Corporation Vol. 4 (novel)
Garin’s Uncanny File Vol.1 Editor’s Cut (novel)
Garin’s Uncanny File Vol. 2 Editor’s Cut (novel)
Garin’s Uncanny File Vol. 0 Re-cover
4th Booth: Siam Inter Comics (A03, Pleanary Hall)
Though they have a bad reputation of dropping their series…
Kangsadan Home Vol. 4 (Final)
5th Booth: Enter Books (Y05, Hall A)
Enter has excellent translators and excellent quality books. They have some master piece original fantasy in their sleeves.
To buy:
Tsukumodo whole series (novel) PS. It’s on sale
Eh…let’s stop it at that before it gets too overwhelming.
