Otakus and Japanese language learners will be thrilled as Fully Booked has partnered with the famous Japanese bookstore chain, Kinokuniya, for its 31st branch at the new Mitsukoshi BGC Japanese mall in Taguig.
Some Fully Booked branches, including their flagship store, have long been carrying English-translated versions of manga and Japanese books. This time, the Mitsukoshi BGC store has a wider selection of Japanese and English-translated versions.
