same here i'm from the phil. the rate of the manga + shipping fee is dollar and when you convert it to peso how many kilos of rice will you able to buy so you can help those poor people just outside your house. plus my parents my mother is in the house 24hours a day what will she say when she saw that......

Hopefully, there'll be some good, kind, generous guys/scanlation groups continue this series online or else we (who can not buy the books 'cause of personal reasons) just die gradually in sadness TT.TT

Yeah... another's the assurance that it will arrive at your house safely. The mailing congestion here sucks >.<

Maybe there would be still someone out there who'll still scanlate them... I wish for the same thing too X'(

Manga in ph is too damn expensive, I only buy One Piece, and if I'd consider buying yaoi a manga I have to make sure it's high quality and basing on what I've seen so far with sublime's work, I don't think I'm getting that. And they licensed love stage too. Damn it.

... Yeah, even the Death Note manga... and I don't really think I would ever see a Finder Series manga on National Bookstore. Haha, but nothing's impossible... if it's Sekai Ichi being sold in NBS expensively, I won't mind saving my money-- It's SEKAI-ICHI. There's nothing to regret about buying that.

Hi guys i'm from the philippines i'm a yaoi fan too (I'm a guy/gay (but not those gays that acts like a total gay or dress like a girl) it's just i prefer guys over girls :P ...ahahaha moving on i'm also looking for a yaoi manga here in the philippines.. You can only find a lot of bl mangas in FULLY BOOKED bookstores and to be honest they're a little expensive one volume cost like 500+ pesos each so far unfortunately i can't see a series with a complete volume stock somehow they only have like 1 or 2 or 3 volumes for a certain story.. i was looking for Loveprize in Viewfinder (but i only found Crimson Spell one volume) , Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and the likes... I guess I would have to go to Japan if I want a lot of Yaoi mangas in their complete volumes..haha hope i was able to help you guys/girls?? :) :3

Same here. I can only find yaoi manga or manga in general in fully booked and it's super expensive, I can't find any in NBS. And I agree they usually don't have the complete collection so if they only have 1 or 2 volumes you can't find the rest of in the store. My other option is buy it online, try ebay or amazon though shipping is really costly. If only I could fly to Japan and haul as many manga I could. And lastly if you are really eager to read the manga and love to get high quality then start learning japanese! It's so much better to read a manga in japanese coz you get to know what exactly is the character is saying(sometimes english translations misses or loses the idea of a word..)

... Hello there Fudanshi-kun! (I hope you don't mind me calling you that) anyhow, it's not really surprising for me to hear that a YAOI manga (which is rare) costs P500+ because it's Yaoi, and it's rare. And I envy you for having that Crimson Spell Manga-- I actually almost buy a Junjou Romantica manga before over Sulit.com... but things happened and I let that once in a lifetime chance to escape. Anyways, I'm seriously planning to buy Yaoi mangas in Japan when I finally can read Nihon-go... and I heard there's a special cafe just opened in Ikebukuro that was exclusive for Yaoi fans!

I feel the same-- it's still different when it's original...

yeah its true that yaoi manga here in the phil is expensive cause when i bought one from fullybooked it cause like P500+ it really depends on who publish it but there are a lot of yaoi manga in fullybooked alabang in their 4th floor they a have a bookshelf that is only yaoi manga but it will be expensive

Alabang-- WAIT FOR ME. please give me an exact address-- I don't care if I couldn't buy one-- just want to see them with my own eyes!

well its in alabang town center. the fullybooked has 4 floors and the manga and comic selection is in the 4th floor. you can easily see it because there's a huge sign that says fullybooked

... Thanks!

hahaha i don't mind... anyway i didn't buy that crimson spell volume i saw.. to be honest i prefer viewfinder and any other works of yamane sensei than crimson spell i only like valdrigue there and you know the xxx scenes..hahaha i don't know why but i really don't like the seme there...hehe by the way if you live in NCR I prefer you go to FULLY BOOKED Bonifacio High Street Taguig branch than in Alabang Town Center I heard from my friend that they have a whole floor full of mangas there compared to the Alabang branch. I'm planning to go there sometime to see if it's true... :)

... That sounds utterly awesome! I haven't really been in Taguig, only once when I had to due to work. But I want to check that out too... thanks for the tip! yeah, I live in NCR, Quezon City to be exact... bout you?

oh i see i live in bacoor, cavite :)

Woah... that's far X'(

hi guys. im glad i found pinoys who enjoyed reading Sekaiichi Hatsukoi as much as i do ;)

Oh dear, have you ever the Blush convention that was upheld last May 3, 2014 at UP Diliman? Yeah, Yaoi's now conquering the Philippines!

oh my i didn't i was still unsure about trying yaoi genre that time, you know i was raised to kinda be hesitant to this things. *laughs* i've read sekaiichi hatsukoi as my first yaoi manga and man! i can't go back to the usual pairing anymore (guy x girl stuff) i've watched sekaiichi hatsukoi anime, read all the light novels and even downloaded the ovas. im so inlove with this series. Im into junjou romantica now. i do love them both.

not really....haha anyway sekaiichi hatsukoi and junjo romantica is my 2nd fave BL manga...haha my most favorite is of course Loveprize in viewfinder this is the reason why i really got hooked in yaoi... my 3rd is Totally captivated it's a Korean yaoi and Toshishita bo Ryuugi is 4th... try to look for them if you haven't read it yet... :) i really like BL mangas who have really good looking characters i mean the way they draw the characters oh God how i wish they are all real.. :D i hope i can have a really good looking boyfriend like an international supermodel..haha.. anyway i'm just sharing how about you guys?? :D

... Hmm, so I see you're still in the 'egg' stage. but that's alright, I exactly know how that feels! Well as for me, Junjou Romantica is my first Yaoi. Tell you what-- I watched the entire series in internet shops (you see, I don't have my own PC) and I know how embarrassing it was at first. but I kinda learned to cope with it and now I've read and watched even more Yaoi mangas and animes! Oh, since you liked Sekai and Junjou, I think you'll love to read one of my favorites too! It's 'Doushitemo Furetakunai' I found the title while skimming Anime News Network. a live action movie was just filmed last May 30, and dear, you'll love it!

Hmm, I'm admittedly head over heels for the Finder Series (hell, who wouldn't!?) I haven't tried those last 2 titles you've mention, but I'll try to look for them when I FINALLY got enough time. Well in my case, I'm not really into 'overly handsome' characters. I also kind of into stories more, and less with the sex scenes and 'ideal' boy characters. In fact I rarely read High School themed yaoi manga (after watching Takumi-Kun live action series). As of now I'm into Kou Yoneda's works (Doushitemo Furetakunai is my favorite) and Yamane Amano's too (I seriously feel like I'm already doing a grave sin every time I think about her name). Well... maybe because of the age XD. So I wonder, what pair do you ship the most?

I am into stories too...
and since I started with Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica, Im craving for a yaoi manga with this kind of story. I'll be grateful for the recommendations.... and have you tried Okane Ga Nai? its worthwhile :)))

Omg, I'm from Phil. too... Gosh thanks so much for the information... And here I was thinking if only I'll have even just one yaoi manga, it's the best gift ever for myself, my 18th b-day is next month, what a great gift, even if I don't have a party it's ok! And I'm near in Alabang,so gosh I'm so happy!!!! I thought I'll need to buy it in Amazon.... This is a great gift for my debut.

Hai, I've tried to watch its first episode and read the manga as well, but stopped because I think the uke's character is too naive for my taste. But yes, I liked the story. Maybe sometime I'll try to finish it since you recommended ;-D

That... would be a very,very great bday gift for yourself in your 18th birthday! Oh, otanjoubi omedetto! It would be really nice if you'll buy one and take a picture of it then show it to us! Gosh, now I where to spend my first 13th month pay this Christmas XD

hi again kusarihime-san.. :) ah well, i've been checking everyday every sites regarding updates for the sekaiiichi hatsukoi chapter.. and i've just learn that september scanlation dropped it already.. i mean what's all this fuss about the manga getting license? would that mean it wouldn't be available online frowmm now on? do hope you can help me understand such things.........

Well, I appreciate the scan team taking licensing seriously as they do good translations and I don't want them to get sued but I think they're stopping too early. The 9th volume won't get released until late 2016 to 2017. I don't want to wait another 2 years for an update. I fully plan on buying them but it'll take a while for volumes 1-8 to get published.

ahh, where are you getting all this informations? thanks thanks :p

On the sublime website, it said the first volume will be released in feb 2015. And in The US, popular series usually get released every 3 months so we'll see 4 volumes per year. I'm not sure what Philippine standards are so I'm assuming a similar time table. If I'm wrong, do correct me. Otherwise, it's more assumptions based on experience rather than hard facts.

... well yes, that's how it will be. That's what my post was about, actually. It's gonna be really sad, but there's nothing we can do as of now. SubLime has now the license to legally translate SKH and publish it, and the scanlators have decided to stop posting it online. So probably we'll have no latest SKH for the next months... unless someone else aside from the September Scanlation would still work on them to share with us...

wow.... Well if Crimson Spell managed to enter the Philippines then there's still hope for us to get a hard copy of SKH, and a legal one. Thanks for the tip! You made my day XD 2015-- here we come!

.... wait for 2 years... I suddenly felt my world began to crumble a little... So they really stopped?(checking it out)... Ugh, this is going to be really sad...

If they are based in the USA.. they cant scanlate licensed manga..but why one piece and other licensed manga is published in some sites.. i love sekaiichi..if ever there is someone out there who can share their raw manga.. ill help out to publish it in mangatank or other sites.. translated already..

One Piece is so mainstream and comes from a publisher that is pretty damn rich already. They just don't care near as much as the ones that target a specific niche market. I mean, One Piece sold 345 million copies worldwide, then you add up Naruto etc. Yaoi don't sell nearly just as much, hence why they're more bothered by scanlations.
