Some C75 loot
My Comiket 75 loot finally arrived. Due to multiple issues with auction sellers and with the deputy service, these items are well over due seeing as how C75 was back in December, 2008. Oh well, it was worth the wait for these two doujinshi ^_^ Yep, only two this time around. I was far more conservative with my spending this Comiket, partly due to the bad USD->Yen rate and partly due to me wanting to save money. I’ve decided I will only be making doujinshi purchases if I can really justify the crazy high prices for the deputy service fee, money transfer, internal + domestic shipping + the actual item cost. From now on I will probably limit my spending to only doujinshi artbooks that contain lots of illustrations or something unique. Paying $50 for a something like a 15 page doujinshi + clear file is no longer going to work for me >_<. Continue reading
Comiket 74 Loot Arrives
I came home today to find 2 packages of C74 goods awaiting me. That was a nice little gift from the postal service. Just kidding, the limited number of goods you see in these images cost a small fortune and I know others that bought much more than I did. Such is life when you have to import your hobby from another country…
Anyway, I am giving a brief preview of the goodies in from the Summer Comiket event. I likely be revisiting the items in greater detail. I just want to give a quick glimpse of what ~30,000 yen went to…
Items by the following circles and artists: RAMI, WNB, FancyFantasia, Dmyo, Closet Child, Electromagnetic Wave, Frill*Frill, and Tinkle.
That Dmyotic 2.0 book on the far left was not from C74, it just happened to arrive in the bunch ^^;
I’m actually waiting on a couple more items but this is the bulk of what I scored from C74. Look forward to a more in depth look into each in the future :D
Miscellaneous Doujinshi Stash
I’ve got a stockpile of doujinshi that I need to post about. Unfortunately, I just haven’t gotten around to it (I get distracted and it’s not a high priority). Since comiket74 just finished up and I’ve got another group of doujinshi heading my way, I figured now would be a good time to clear up the queue a bit.
I’m starting with three doujinshi from varying sources and release dates. I plan on doing some artist focused reviews in the near future expect some POP, WNB, and Dmyo reviews soon :-) As usual, I have scanned sample images from each release. Continue reading
