wolfiejimi: One of my former English students from Japan two years ago just messaged me to say that she has just started watching Good Omens. She said she picked up the book after hearing me talk so highly about it, and fell in love with it, but just never mentioned that to me!!! I this makes me SO happy and excited! Everywhere I go, I hold people at metaphorical gunpoint with my effusive and obsessive gushing, until they read Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman books. And it WORKS, evidently. So yes. Excellent. Spread the Armaggedon-ish love, globally. Also it was weird timing, as I was thinking about her about two seconds before she messaged me, as I saw the BEAUTIFUL cover art for one of the Good Omens Japanese translations, and was trying to figure out how to get my hands on both alternate copies. They are so gorgeous. SO gorgeous. And my marvellous, wonderful, excellent Best Friend just spent his lunch break going through the Japanese for me, and finding where I can pre-order to deliver to the UK (being in love with a boy who speaks and readsJapanese is very handy, you know). THEY WILL BE MINE *grabby hands GRABBY HANDS* {amazon japan link for anyone else who wants the PRETTY THINGS. They are in Japanese. Maybe I’ll finally commit to learning to read Japanese if I get these. I mean. Maybe. I might. Not that I need justification or anything….} They are not alternate covers but part 1 and part 2. In Japan they like lean books and a bit longer books tend to be divided into two or three parts. So you’ll have to get both of them! :) -- source link
