K-Books Akihabara Renewal Ikebukuro Style
07.11.2009 by Adrian A. Lozano
K-Books Akiba in the Radio Kaikan recently went under the re-grand opening knife and was closed from Oct. 27th and re-opened on this past Tuesday's National holiday Culture Day Nov. 3rd. I checked out the new K-Books and man was it a major improvement. There is more of an organized Ikebukuro Otome Road shop feel to it, the only thing missing is the BL stuff. The old set up was a mess, now it is well lit and the big cashier island is gone. If you are heading to Akiba this weekend make sure to stop by, just don't buy anything I have my eye on.
