5 vols of Hinamatsuri for 33y each ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME
16 vols in my cart for a total of 450y and i’m paying it with bookwalker funbux. i feel like i’m getting away with murder
/edit not that I’m complaining, but I can’t find this sale in my coupon page or on the manga campaigns page. How did you find it @rodan?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that Hinamatsuri is today?
Not really, after reading the 5 volumes you will feel committed, might as well finish the series and buy the other 14 volumes full price now!
well… i was probably going to do that anyway tbh, I love Hinamatsuri though I never did finish it in Eng
There’s a lot of Harta series more or less permanently in my checklist either specifically to recommend them even though I own them in a different way, or in a “it might be nice to someday reread that in collected form” kind of way. When I check my 「Check！した作品の中にセール作品があります」page for the day and one or more series have an interesting discount, I’ll pretty much always check the レーベル (in this case HARTA COMIX) then restrict to 「セール・期間限定価格」in the column on the left to see other things on sale for that label, since there’s usually a pattern that way even if there’s no actual promotion page.
So anyway, that’s how the promotions I share info about become even more biased towards Harta than they otherwise would be - most things move out of my checklist when I buy them myself so I’m much less likely to notice and share sales after that, but there’s a lot less incentive to actually buy something I’ve already read other ways, so those ones stick around in the list.
I also spot ハクメイとミコチ on that page, it’s also a nomination in the IMC
ふしぎの国のバード as well (nomination post)
thanks, that’s really useful. i habitually browse the campaign page but sometimes the sales navi is completely labyrinthian
After getting to level 60 in WaniKani there has been something missing from my routines…
It’s as if I’ve been resting on my laurels and not getting enough new vocabulary and kanji to play around with…
… just yesterday I started constructing my own personal Level 61 kanji & vocabulary list. Is this normal? Should I look for help…?
Fear not, BOOK★WALKER delivers!
Mmm, I like the sound of サクサク. I’m also an adult so the 大人 speaks to me. There are English translations. As a bonus there’s a 表外漢字 right in the title, 語彙力. Ka-ching, 99円.
I also would like to sound more 知的 when I produce Japanese. I feel like right now my production is at 小学校 level. Maybe this book will teach me how to use big words better and how to string my sentences together? Ka-ching, 99円.
Again, I would like to feel like a できる大人. Not so sure about these but I think they have ことわざ (resisting the temptation to use 諺) and 四字熟語 which I really enjoy anyway. The lower volume’s obi promises that just by leafing through my vocabulary will improve. カチンカチン, 99円 + 99円.
Now I’m set for a while. Obviously I have no idea if these are any good yet, but I thought that maybe there are other deviants here who love kanji and that 実用 book sales are outside of people’s normal Bookwalker browsing habits.
These are not affiliate links.
Yeah I don’t always really understand what counts as a campaign or not, but once you get used to the search functions they can be really very powerful.
Arguably one could just use, say, a query that returns everything that’s on sale for less than 100 yen (or any other price range) and get everything in one go (One could even theoretically make some sort of script to correlate those series with another source to try to filter to just what might be interesting and arrange it in a convenient list to share each week in some sort of forum thread). But personally I find the checklist + checking labels + occasional promo pages to be about the right balance, and more than enough.
Coinback event is here! Purchases over 1,500 yen give 50% coinback.
The shoujo magazine Lala is having a half-off sale as well. A friend of mine recommended maid-sama so I’ll be picking up a few volumes.
These are affiliate links… if I did them right
Affiliate links - Taking this opportunity to recommend What Is My Neighbour Cooking - Cheers!, one of the manga I started learning Japanese to keep reading in the first place! A slice of life comic about food and being in a relationship.
The 3-vol prequel is also very cute, though that one is more typical shoujo.
Thought this was the Gekkan Shoujo author but they did Oresama Teacher instead lol

There seem to be a bunch of interesting sales going on in addition to the 50% coinback thing. Most importantly Dungeon Meshi, 3 volumes for 33 Yen.
Other things I haven’t read but have had an eye on for awhile:
Hinamatsuri, 5 volumes for 33 Yen.
Yoru no Namae wo Yonde, 33 Yen, BBC nominee
Shangri La Frontier, 110 Yen
Natsume’s Book of Friends, vintage BBC, all(!) volumes for 264 Yen each
Edited for the umpteenth time, because I can’t stop looking…
Yona of the Dawn, all volumes 264 Yen…懐かしいいいいい

There’s a bunch of a Kamen Rider Kuuga manga on sale for 23 yen pre-tax 3/18(火)23:59まで. I haven’t seen Kuuga but I do like Kamen Rider a lot.
It seems like it’s mostly just a small discount and a highlight of a specific selection of stuff amid the much larger general +50% coinback campaign on purchases of 1500 yen or more (3月17日(月)09:59まで) but there’s a 変な家 themed promotion that includes, among other stuff in the franchise, the first novel which I can recommend as an easy to read and engaging mystery novel with a fun gimmick involving deductions based solely on house blueprints and diagrams, and which was an Intermediate Book Club pick.

赤川次郎 books are on 50% sale right now until April 3rd. He has written extensively, and his writing is easy to follow (lots of dialogue and nearly empty pages) and suspenseful enough to keep you turning pages till the end. While not great literature, he’s very entertaining and recommended for beginners or for a light read.
Some books of his I’ve read and enjoyed:
And while I haven’t read these, I think they were read by book clubs here:

Only a little before it ends, but I happened to notice a sale (half off plus half coinback) on one thing I can recommend: 一度読んだら絶対に忘れない日本史の教科書, a good thorough Japanese history textbook that’s perfect if you feel pretty confident reading dry but clearly written text and maybe know the general outline already. No photos but lots of clear diagrams. By this youtuber. Seems like there’s similarly named textbooks on other subjects under the same sale too.
(I would probably call it 一度読んだらたぶん適当に思い出せる日本史の教科書 though…)
(Note: these are affiliate links)
I’ve been meaning to come here and ask if Bookwalker does sales on novels as often as they do for manga and it seems they just started a 50% coinback promotion until April 10th on a selection of novels and light novels that includes at least a couple of previous IBC picks:
コンビニ人間
妊娠カレンダー
No minimum purchase for the coinback on those which is nice
(Note: these are probably affiliate links)
[affiliate links] it’s the 1st of a month and you know what means - manga set recommendations. As usual, don’t buy until the very last day of the month unless there’s a good points deal - you can usually bundle up the 20% off with a 30-50% coin cashback if the heavens are in your favour.
this month’s personal recs (i.e. i’ve read at least 1 vol):
How Do We Relationship - 1-13 - 7,260y
I’m super annoyed, I picked this up last month without the discount… recently completed yuri romance(ish) manga. Strong recommend.
Girl by Rock! 1-5 - 2844y
A pretty enjoyable girls band manga, still ongoing. A bit more approachable than Bocchi imho because it’s not in 4koma format, though it doesn’t have an anime yet.
Bocchi the Rock 1-7 5,236y
We’re reading this in an offshoot thread atm. Girls band manga 4koma.
Stuff I haven’t read yet that seems neat:
There’s actually a decent selection beyond that so check out the full selection here
Can I ask why you should wait until the end of the month? New to buying at sales 
bookwalker does big point campaigns where you can get like between 30-50% back in bookwalker points on your big purchases. These manga set deals that I’ve listed above rotate out at the end of the month, so you know they’ll stick around until the last day of the month; thus it’s in your best interest to wait and see if any pointback deals on the set you want come into effect before the end of the month.
EG say a set normally worth 5000y is on sale at 20% off, so 4000y. But if a 50% pointback is active, you’ll pay 4000 and get 2000y in points back - so the effective sale price is 2000y. (Of course, the 2000y ‘savings’ is in bookwalker points, so you’ve still effectively spent the 4000y, but it’s fine if you’re planning on getting more series)
