as per title. any legit shops where i can purchase physical copies with good quality other than kino? at rm60+ they're a bit hard to swallow
looking for older titles too.

Opentrolley website is pretty good. I bought all my LNs from them. Shipping is expensive if only buying one book, so if want to buy, best buy a few at a time. 10 ringgit per shipping.

thanks.
it seems that their website is even worse compared to kino when browsing though

Worse how? Less books or unattractive ui?

20 results per page, no side filter options until you go into the specific books
and apparently price isnt that much cheaper too. kino has slam dunk on average RM39 with option for member card prices, on opentrolley its 43~

Huh, interesting. I used to use opentrolley because the LN price were usually 20 ringgit cheaper the Kino. Guess it's the opposite story fir mangas.

Can try Borders also

doesnt seem to be any on their website lol
do you mean physical stores?

yes, physical store. Last time used to have, not sure if they still sell it now. (Been long time since I visit Borders )

certain popular got a decent list of chinese translated manga/ln by taiwan/hong kong publisher and price slightly cheaper than kino

for english & malay manga/ln i only know title under kadokawa has quite a ok amount of local translated books that can be easily purchase in bookstore or online
last i saw in popular english title & malay title both can fill a rack or two
cant get used to the malay translation tho bought one out of curiosity
https://www.shop.gempakstarz.com/gempak-starz-comic

i switch to ebook de. using Bookwalker.
sometime like steam, got offer.
Price around 8-12usd pervolume. (when checkout, it shows price in Yen tho)

Switch to digital cause no more rooms for physical manga

viz manga/shonen jump app

i already have ebook. buying as a hobbyist + to support. i only buy stuffs i already read and like


kenjixx - yeah same, not gonna buy the malay TLs

The Malay translation is very Malay casual speech e.g. WhatsApp/Wechat Malay. Not very nice unlike Kreko/Tora Aman manga quality translation. However the English one very good. Bought Yotsuba& and love it. Shame most of LN and manga are Malay translation.

hows the paper quality for the gempakstarz eng TL?

Good. For Rm12 per volume. I can say it is worth buy.
But like I said the English version manga selection is very limited.

There is book I want but sadly only available in Malay.

lmao this sucks
