I am… arranging books! I have ~5,000 of them (so it’ll take…… quite a lot of time hahahahahaha)
There are still a lot left for me to do so hang in there, don’t visit yet! Take note that Tankobonbon is NOT YET OPEN! ❌
When? I’m not sure. I don’t wanna present a half-hearted library to you, after all. It’s like I’m courting you with books here, and I hope to bring you something that you’re comfortable with. 🫶
What on earth is this long post again? Where is the professionalism? The business vibe? The concise statement? Well, it doesn’t exist! I write letters! This time, happy six years to Tankobonbon! I don’t know when exactly, probably September 1, or 9, or 20 (lol idk) but yeeeee! This library serves as my unconditional love and gratitude for books. I feel like a parent who didn’t mind working night and day just to provide everything my child wants, not because I have to, but because I wanted to and it’s worthy. Sometimes I even think no one would show up after making you wait so long, but idc! I like it! I’m loving it! That’s all that matters! (Probably! There’s rent to pay tho… so pls still come when we’re open… hahaha) Like, “ah, so this is what unconditional love is.” How ironic from my hatred towards the bookstore, huh? HAHDSHDHSH 😆 But love takes patience, time… and money. I’m trying to hang in there too.
Anyway! Enough melodrama! In case you missed my announcement in my stories, we won’t be at MIBF this year, too bad! But I’ll (hopefully) be there having my long-awaited day as a normal visitor. Are you going to MIBF too? Have you gotten your tickets yet? (I sure haven’t yet! I hope I don’t forget! HAHAHAHA)
For now, while waiting, pre-register for a library card on our website at tankobonbon.com ;) Pre-registered folks are one of the first ones that can visit the place and fight me over wrong lighting or bad water pressure.
Thanks for reading this!
Tho you’ll read a lot more once you’re here, I’m just training you ;)))))
-Bon, typing this instead of opening another box of books
