I'm a little confused. What part of Digital Manga is actually closing down? And how does this effect the rest of the publisher?

It appears to mean they are either just getting rid of overstock at their warehouse, or they are closing the warehouse and outsourcing their operations to someone else.

Yes, I think this is it. I would hope it doesn't mean any of their retail divisions are being shut down. I think it's overstock being sold.

Perhaps I'll see you there, I'll be there Saturday morning.

We should wear nametags like it's an anime convention. LOL

Bit of a trek for me, that pesky Atlantic ocean gets in the way somewhat

Bringing this back to the main page for people who hadn't seen the pres release before. I was there sharp at 10 today, and the sale was epic, almost every book was priced at either $1 or $4, and I bought over 50 books for myself. I really recommend anyone who likes BL to stop by and stock up.

If only I lived anywhere nearby (i.e. not clear across the country), I could've gone to this sale in the morning and still had time to go stalk greet Lee Min Ho at the airport this afternoon. Really, it would've been The Perfect Day.

*is insanely jealous of locals*

That's the thing about being in Southern California, everything takes an hour and a half to get to, but then you can get to everything in an hour and a half. Trains you to enjoy podcasts, audiobooks, and fuel efficient cars.

Then you get home and realize you still didn't get everything you meant to get. -_- This is why you update your shopping lists morning of, people. And by people I mean myself.
