<div>[[PHOTO ALBUM]] </div>Cebuanos now have a new hub for stories, manga, and beyond. Fully Booked, in partnership with Japan’s Kinokuniya, has opened its very first branch outside Metro Manila at the Northwing expansion of SM City Cebu — and it’s already shaping up to be a must-visit destination for readers and pop culture fans alike.The store, which opened last August 22, blends the best of both worlds: Fully Booked’s signature curation of trade books — from modern fiction and non-fiction to children’s favorites and romantasy bestsellers — with Kinokuniya’s extensive range of Japanese-language titles. Fans can expect shelves lined with manga, literature, art books, and even language learning materials.But it doesn’t stop there. The Cebu branch is designed to be more than a bookstore. Visitors will also find Japanese stationery, toys, collectibles, and anime-inspired merchandise, making it a cultural hotspot for manga enthusiasts, casual browsers, and anyone curious about Japanese pop culture.This opening is a milestone for both brands. It marks the first Fully Booked x Kinokuniya store outside Metro Manila, following successful collaborations in Mitsukoshi BGC (2022), SM Mall of Asia (2023), SM North Edsa (2024), and Glorietta 4 (June 2025). For Fully Booked, the Cebu store is also its 46th nationwide, with more branches expected later this year.

Fully Booked, in partnership with Japanese bookstore chain Kinokuniya, has opened its first branch outside Metro Manila at the newly expanded Northwing of SM City Cebu.
