Singapore book chain Times Bookstores reopened last 28 June 2008 in Indonesia—guess where? Lippo Karawaci, specifically Gedung A of UPH and yes, it carries imported manga.
Most of the manga merchandise, as noted in the post title, seem to be from CMX. Don't quote me though; I felt like I was dropped in the candy store of dreams and it was all I could do not to Kyaaa! Kyaaa! all over the place.
While it's not Kinokuniya—there's a marked absence of VIZ manga—at least there's another retailer to hound. And the best part (oops, buried the lede) is that until 4 July 2008, everything is discounted 20 percent.
I wanna go back for Alive!
