Noblesse get! \o/

[lucathia]

Thanks to troisroyaumes, I was able to navigate the aladin site and buy Noblesse! The season 1 box set was already sold out, so I only bought the season 2 box set. I'm hoping they'll have more of season 1 someday, but that probably won't happen since it seems to be a limited thing.


I understand not a single word of Korean, so the inside is all gibberish to me. I can't even read what the subtitle of each volume says! I only know the words below the numbers are subtitles because the words under volume 2 says "DA-5"... XD;; But these are very beautiful, and each volume is so thick and heavy. Full color~.


Say hi to the Frankenstein box set. XD


All three books in the box set~


Each volume comes with a postcard. Too bad it's all of the same image as the covers... *wishes there were more new art*


Yessssss, the poster is of the trio! \o/


...the inside has more of the same image as the cover. XD;;


...see.


Sample page. :3 If all pages were like this, then I wouldn't need to know Korean. XD;


But then there are pages like this. XD; I wonder if I should scribble the translations in the margin. There's enough white space for that...


Two pages of fanart were included at the back of volume 3.




Back of each volume~. Silhouettes of Regis and Seira!


Scans of the postcards~




<33333


The beginning of volume 1 also includes character intros. Crooked scanning is crooked. XD; I can't read this. =/ But each person also has their height listed, and then something that says ? for each of these four characters. I was guessing blood type, but after seeing the second page of intros, I think it's age. But don't we know Regis and Seira's ages, or am I remembering incorrectly?

Anyway, heights.

Rai: 188 cm
Frankenstein: 193 cm
Seira: 176 cm
Regis: 158 cm



M-21: 184 cm
Tao: 182 cm
Takeo: 191 cm
Shinwoo: 179 cm
Ik-han: 157 cm
Yuna: 164 cm
Suyi: 167 cm

Shinwoo, Ik-han, Yuna, Suyi are all listed as "18" (I assume this = 18 years old). M-21 is listed as 28, Tao as 26, and Takeo as 29, but the words after their numbers are different than what comes after the kids'. I wonder how it's different... (is this how old they "appear" as? how old they assume they are? klj;j;kfadfa;).

Wish I could read the rest of their bios too. I bet ramen shows up somewhere in Rai's. XD;;

So yeah, veeeery pretty box set. *am so totally keeping an eye out for season 1*

so that's what noblesse is hahaha. i had no idea what all this noblesse you mentioned in your entries hahahaa.
lol ultimate language barrier. maybe you'll start learning korean?

[lucathia]

It's a Korean webtoon. Quite addicting. =P It's published online, but I wanted to have a print copy... even though I don't understand it. OTL

Ultimate language barrier indeed. I might as well start taking lessons some day. XD;;

Thanks for sharing!

If only it was in English, I would definitely pay. But it is nice that you at least have translations of it already.

[lucathia]

Without translations, I wouldn't understand a word! This bundle is quite pretty though. :3

[uchuu-kita.livejournal.com]

I spotted those in my local store too. They look so pretty :D

[lucathia]

Oh, you have them in your store? :O (Have you seen Season 1...) I wonder if it's still available anywhere. :3 This box set is quite worth it!

[hisuiryu.livejournal.com]

They're so pretty~
Things like this... even when you can't understand them it's still a nice feeling to actually own a copy, haha. :D

[lucathia]

I consider box sets sort of like collector items anyway! XD It is nice to own. :)

[lucathia]

If you need the larger images!!!!

Hi there, found this post while Googling trying to find information on how to get my hands on these books. Now I'm one step closer thanks to you! This series is simpling AMAZING and I'm just dying to help out the artist+writer and get a hold of the entire series. I'm asking some Korean friends for help navigating the site you mentioned now.

Just wanted to ask how your experience was ordering the books through this site? And does it charge ridiculous shipping fees or anything?

But I'm so excited, and thanks again for this post now - I know it's possible to get this!

Re: Wow! Thanks!

[lucathia]

It was fairly straightforward to order from the site! Where are you located? I'm located in the US. Shipping was very reasonable (just normal shipping price, what I'd expect if I bought stuff online from other US stores), as I believe Aladin is situated in the US. I think the price on the site most likely already makes up for the shipping, as in it's a bit higher than if you buy it from a Korean site located in Korea (but then shipping would be higher).

Thanks for the response :) I'm all the way out in New Zealand lol, shipping from anywhere is killer x_x but thanks atleast I know it won't be over priced.

Re: Wow! Thanks!

[lucathia]

Ah, if you're in New Zealand, then you could also consider ordering from this site.

They're based in Korea, I believe! I'm not at all sure what shipping would be from this site, but the original price is cheaper on this site, I think. Aladin US shipping would probably be expensive for you too, after all!
