BeruBara LINE Stamps Go Global!

Although LINE Japan has had a set of BeruBara stickers (スタンプ [“stamp”] in Japanese) for a year now, LINE has released a global set with brand new stamps.

The stamps are $1.99 in the US store and are listed as “La Rose de Versailles.” The global set includes a lot more stickers than the original Japanese set. However, the Japanese set has a few that aren’t in the global set, including the 挟撃！one of Oscar riding into battle, which I use a lot. According to the press release, there will be other stamps for the app “Kakao Talk” (カカオトーク).

There’s a lot less text than in the Japanese version. I think my new favorite is Oscar holding up the “NO” scroll.

With the upcoming release of the new BeruBara manga and last year’s release of the English-subtitled anime, more press is being drummed up. Now, when is the manga finally going to get a full translation into English? (And can I be hired to help?)

BeruBara Stickers for LINE

My favorite part of using the “global messaging service” LINE is being able to chat with my friends for free even if they use another carrier or are in another country.
