Hetalia 1st printing - SOLD OUT!

According to Tokyopop's Facebook page:

Volume one of Hetalia: Axis Powers first editions have officially sold out. ( I believe this statement reflects US editions. Not too sure on UK editions.)

I did the exact same thing, dude. Freaking couldn't believe it when I saw it.

WOW that is just awesome!

[identity profile] mogumogu.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I would have helped, but the copy I found in the store had some low-res pages in it.


... or is it supposed to be that way?

And it's been what, a week now?
Awesome possum, Hetalians.

*Glad she got her book the first day it came out*

Wow. That's pretty rare, isn't it? :U

[identity profile] arachnes-web.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it is. I worked at Borders for about 6 years and right now I can't remember a manga selling out so quickly...but I'm waiting for Publishers Weekly or ICv2 to report on it (to see if they back up my memory!)

[identity profile] katokatsu.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
wow! That's really incredible!! ♥

[identity profile] bei-kun.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Wow~ I'm glad a bought it last weekend! The local Barnes & Noble only had one left, but I got it!

[identity profile] tannakitten.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty incredible imo!

But I am being a grump about it because I haven't been able to find a copy yet. 2nd Edition print please!

I'm glad I bought my copy on the first day it came out~
I didn't think it was going to sell out, but somehow, I'm glad it did! c:

Brb, pre-ordering volume 2.

[identity profile] mcmitters.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Is that why I couldn't find it in any stores? ._. Well!

I'll get it eventually. I have all of the Japanese editions already. (Including the 3rd, I make Spain proud)

[identity profile] attashi.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yay and I own one (thank god for living in an area where hetalia is hardly known)

[identity profile] attashi.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Randomly posting: I hope they make a french version, I think hetalia would be a great way to practice my french XD

Ah poo. :( I didn't get a copy in time, but this is good news! Just goes to show we Hetalians mean business.

I lent my copy to a normalfag friend of mine. She was pleased.

I handed it to her during class all wrapped up. She asked me what it was hidden for, and I wisely told her she must always hide her power level, and that is what she did. I am very proud.

Last time this happened was when Naruto got on New York Time's bestseller list, right? Kinda impressive, in my opinion. Good job fandom, seriously :DD

[identity profile] attashi.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
But nothing is better than holding a book in your hand :3 . Even better than those lousy e-books

...Holy crap.

[identity profile] powderthefox.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
So glad I had Barnes & Noble hold my copy. Speaking of which, I should really pick that up soon...

[identity profile] shirokaze-sama.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
so i was reading the reviews for hetalia at amazon.co.uk
and i wonder
do these people really understand japanese culture, manga, otakus, and fangirls (above all, lol)?

It personifies the countries as effeminate men
Another issue being that EVERYONE is effeminate like the mangaka doesn't have very many male friends. It'd be funny if it was just Italy or whatever, but the whole cast of characters is this way and it got really old really quickly.



apparently, all mangakas MUST always draw "manly" men.
and it looks like this dude doesn't realize that how the chars look like is a huge plus?

sorry for ranting
im having a small case of insomnia and im bored D:

I'm pretty sure my Barnes & Noble still has 2 copies. We got in 3, and one was mine.

[identity profile] bijou-cho.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
... is it known how many copies their first print run is? If it's a conservative small quantity, then selling out is really not that big a deal. But if it's the kind of print run Yen Press did for the Twilight manga, well now!

[identity profile] ivveria.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
...mind=blown...

There's a Twilight manga?? O.o

Dayum. Bet that got a huge ass printing... =•^•=
