A package arrived in my mailbox today. It was a heavy package which can only mean one thing for an otaku: manga! This month’s haul is a bunch of manga I ordered during one of Rightstuf’s recent sales. Yeah, everyone knows it’s easy to just download scanlated manga online, but I believe supporting the industry, especially outside of Japan is important so I am happy to buy worthwhile releases such as these. Speaking of which, what did I get this time? Let’s see!

Now that I look at it, it seems to be a bunch of shoujo-y stuff. My true nature is showing? ^^; It’s OK, because they’re all great series! ^^b
If you happened to notice, this stack is missing Sunshine Sketch volume 4. For some reason, it is (and has been for a while) sold out at every online shop I’ve looked at! It seems to be out of print :(. I emailed Yenpress about it but haven’t heard back yet. I hope it’s just temporary as I really want my Hidamari Sketch collection to be complete! Aside from Hidamari Sketch, I’ve also got Bunny Drop which I was convinced into ordering after watching the excellent anime that recently aired. I expect the manga to be just as good! I’ve also got the second volume of Book Girl and the ultimate moe-blob series, K-ON!
K-ON! seems to get a fair share of criticism but I truly like it. The manga looks just as irresistibly cute and hilarious as the anime series. Here’s a quick peek…

Yui is such an airhead ^^;

There are full-color pages scattered between the chapters as well :3
You can pick out the art difference between the anime and the manga but the jokes are characters are still there. Looking forward to reading more of Kakifly’s work :D
That’s all for now, thanks for stopping by!
For me, this summer has been rather quiet for DD photography. Yes, Neris arrived a few months back, but I got distracted by video games, work, and RL and haven’t had a chance for much more than that. So when Tsunamidelta messaged me about a possible DD meet in Chicago, I happily agreed to attend. It was a small gathering with just me, Tsunami, Wolfheinrich, and Faustbane. But you don’t need a large group to have fun and we definitely had a good time with a weekend to enjoy good food, relaxing, and getting some great DD photos! ^^

Is there such a thing as having too many Taiga figures? ^^; And the answer is, of course, no way! That is why I did not hesitate to order this lovely Taiga figure by ques Q. Who is Ques Q you ask? Well, I really didn’t know of them either until this figure but if they continue to make figures like this I think they’ll become more popular in the future. They have crafted this lovely tiger costume version of one of my favorite characters, Aisaka Taiga from the romance comedy series Toradora. Read on for more pretty pictures :)

So, this new girl just suddenly showed up at my place. Hmmm, should I let her stay? ^^

Locked in a gym equipment shed, alone with a cute girl in her gym uniform. It’s not a dream (you perv!), it’s the subject of this week’s figure review :P. I just happen to have this nice figure of Kyou Fujibayashi from the Key series Clannad. Why don’t we take a closer look? ^^ Continue reading 'Kyou Fujibayashi -Breaking Point-'»

Today, Hinagiku graciously cosplays for us and even sings a song ^^. Continue reading 'HiNAgiku Katsura'»
I have finally acquired a Danboard. She was sold out everywhere for a long time and then suddenly is re-released. Jumped at the chance to pick up a new Danboard ^^. Glowy eyes are coooool xD

Just a quick pic of my cutie Marisa ^^
