Did I buy the issue mainly for the cover? Yes, yes I did. Did I buy it because it features the characters Katsura and Ninomae? Yes, yes I did.

This first volume vividly introduces the fascinating world of Kyoto's geisha district, seen through young Sayuri's eyes. The Japanese translation by Ogawa Takayoshi reads naturally and draws you into the story instantly. From her humble origins to her first encounters with the Chairman, every page is filled with longing and beauty. A brilliant opening to a modern classic.

This second volume of Arthur Golden's masterpiece delivers an emotionally charged finale to Sayuri's extraordinary life. The translation into Japanese is fluid and elegant, keeping the poetic beauty of the original prose intact. The intricate relationships, especially the long-awaited moments with the Chairman, are deeply moving. A truly satisfying and unforgettable reading experience.

This photobook is an absolute masterpiece. The quality is top-notch, with each photo capturing BTS’s charm, charisma, and unique personalities beautifully. The Japan Edition is particularly elegant and well-curated, making it feel exclusive and premium. As a collector and fan, it’s a must-have! The packaging was sturdy and the print quality is flawless. Every page feels like a gift, and the concept is heartwarming, showcasing their growth and bond. It's not just a photobook—it’s an emotional keepsake. Highly recommended to all ARMYs who treasure BTS’s journey.

This volume covers the second half of the dark kingdom arc, and adds the first chapter of the Black Moon arc. I guess it's for teasing a new beginning and not confuse new readers that there's still more content to discover.

Rare and themed photoshoots of LiSA that you won't catch anywhere else. In addition to its size, the glossy paper adds to its uniqueness that is wrapped with LiSA's signature message at the end.

This truly exceeded expectations. It was smaller but thicker than expected and I just love it. Amazing pictures in here. A relic.

Read the Light Novel in English previously. Honestly it was fine at best as the translation could've been a bit better. Much better than the dub though (I could not even make it through the trailer) Still retains a good amount of Japanese cultural subtlety while taking a few liberties here and there. Recommended to read after watching the movie a couple of time to familiarize yourself. Even more, to add to the experience, play the OST by Radwimps in the background while reading it. 9/10 book, 100/10 movie. Major letdown from the translators for an otherwise 10/10 book.

This is an excellent little art book, only 30 pages, that gives some very nice character studies for the Falslander characters that are also available as scale and figma figures. It is a tacit overview of key characters, so not an issue for those not speaking Japanese, there are very few words, but lots of art.

Thanks to all the team at CD Japan in helping me purchasing this fantastic book and delivering it to Wales, UK. Packaging was superb! The book is itself is just outstanding showing the production process of the best film of 2023 !

Arrived in an amazing condition , no damage at all , and good packaging , it was exactly like described and shown

I am really happy with this purchase, the photobook is incredibly beautiful highlighting each of the members of BTS. My ultimate bias being SUGA I am delighted. The quality of the photos is exceptional and it is very well packaged by you thank you very much CD JAPAN I recommended your site to my friends.

A great collection of LiSA's off-stage life showcasing a more mature yet still playful side of her. A great addition to your collection as you will be pampered with all new pictures not available elsewhere

Arrived safely and in perfect condition. I normally don't buy guide books to actually use them as a guide; however, most of them contain setting material, concept stuff, etc., so I definitely wanted to get this, and it's so heavy! Definitely lots of content, and I'm excited to go through it after I actually finish the game (don't want any spoilers!).

I don’t know if I’m saying that right in the title. The pictures are well drawn. Pretty cool book for a weeb/otaku. 10/10 but I can’t stress this enough! The shipping was great, I mean how the items were packaged! 10/10 would recommend.

While not a thick book, but it surely packs a lot. Celebrate her 10th anniversary as you dive into what makes LiSA, LiSA. This book has all you want from her history, song meanings, and stage outfits. Defo a must have!

This book set was shipped and delivered in 10 days. Excellent shipping time from Japan to US. The actual books are beautifully bound and the same size as JP manga, so they will mesh well with an all JP shelf. Learning Japanese now, so I can't give a review on the content, but if you play FFXIV, you'll already know what's in it.

Wonderful! It's worth every penny. It is one of my treasures!I will never get tired of having it....

The shipping was pretty fast. The photo book was wrapped beautifully. I was concerned that it might arrive not in great shape but it was perfect. The best part of opening the box is seeing Jimin’s folder who is my bias/wrecker! The book is absolutely beautifully and was so worth it.

It's my second time buying from CDjapan and honestly I'm surprised with this one. at first I thought I got a completely new book, it came with the plastic package and the book cover and looked like totally new. If you see a second hand version of what you want to buy- do it. Absolutely worth it Thanks again CDjapan.
