We saw that physical copies of The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting Vol. 2 completely sold out earlier in the year, so we are happy to report a fresh reprint just arrived at our distributor. More stock should be making its way to all your favorite storefronts promptly. It goes without saying, but we at Kaiten Books are extremely grateful for all the support over the years, and we look forward to sharing more about what we're cooking up in the future! |
