Recent (Japanese) Things You Have Purchased

[Nayleen]

I'm just starting collecting (T_T):

But NGNL DOES have some pretty cover arts.

[LiquidShu]

I have a Ghost in The Shell Manga as well as Hatsune Miku Mix. I used to have some Death Note, Naruto, and Vampire Hunter D but I sold them :__; Looked at bookdepository.com and saw they had DxD stuff so I might pick them up sometime. I would prefer the Japanese releases though. 

Today I got my Goban, Goishi, and Goke in, woot. Going to a friends house tomorrow to play some Go

I just bought

http://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Advanced-Japanese-Grammar-Edition/dp/4789012956/

They cost me a lot A LOT but they're worth the money  now the long long wait until they arrive

Does anyone know if Amazon JP will send a wall scroll the US or do I need to use Tenso?

[Nosebleed]

My giant wo-class nendoroid arrived this morning. This thing is freaking heavy, like over 1Kg, do not buy this unless you want to pay an arm and a leg for shipping.

I forgot to take pics before I put it in my display case and honestly I'm too lazy to take it out because the staff falls off easily so you'll have to do with these potato quality pics.

She's really cute and I don't regret purchasing it, it's now the biggest figure in my collection and essentially takes all the leftover space on the nendoroid shelf lol.

Been trying to get Minatosoft's Majikoi calender but haven't been able to find one and when I did it got sold quickly.... damnit

If anyone here finds one for sale I'd appreciate the information 

[Nosebleed]

I'm still waiting for mine.

[kingdomcome]

Last week I received the Muv Luv gift bag, only had time to open it now. Excuse some of the dodgy photos.

来た！

I was starting to get worried and was about to send an e-mail to book depository, but luckily my grandma knocked on my window and told me I got mail today and SURPRISE my book was in there!
Now I know 4-8 business days to Portugal means literally 8 business days

I didn't know light novels were this tall (never saw/ordered one IRL), I expected an A5 sized book. The illustrations are really nice.
I'm going to be reading it in between classes.

Definitely using book despository to order the rest of the collection as well now that I know everything works.

Just ordered: Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- (The Japanese version as the elite I am) on mandarake...... I'm going to regret this am I....

You didn't support Sekai Project, which means in reddit/4chan terms, you're a hero.

I have two new items coming in from the Glorious Nippon:

I really wanted to get the Slim Saber tapestry but I couldn't find it anywhere... so in the end I settled with Rin  

Then for the Guilty Crown book I wanted to get more bang for my buck with shipping from Tenso, so I threw it on. Plus it's Guilty Crown and I need to buy everything related to it so

 I just bought a pack of taro popsicles.  They were delicious but weirdly chunky. Chunky in a good way though, unlike the red bean flavors where the texture is kind of like a fine sand. Maybe next time I'll try for the mung bean flavor.

Gotta live dangerously, you know.

No country east of Turkey knows how to make dessert, and Japan may actually be the very worst at it. Taro, red bean, mochi (especially green tea flavored mochi, WTF)... burn it all to the ground.

But hey, as they say, there's no accounting for matters of taste. Especially yours, apparently.

 

More positively, these just arrived:

I would apologize for potato-quality pictures, but first of all that seems to be in vogue in this thread, and second of all I don't actually care about the pictures anyway, so... enjoy!

To each their own, of course.

I like the subtleness to Asian sweets; they tend to be able to get nice flavors across without having to beat you over the head with sugar. The decadence of more western sweets tends to leave me with only a stomach ache and the feeling of regret.

Well, since everything worked out last time, I decided to go ahead and order the remaining No Game No Life novels to complete my collection. 

   

May they arrive here safely like the previous one did.

Can't wait for volume 5 to be out~

[Noir]

I got School Live! Volume 1

Just ordered the complete edition of the Girl Friends manga. This is one of my favorite manga of all time (only reason it's not all time is because Binbougami Ga is too perfect ) and the fact they're selling it in just 2 volumes is a bargain I can't pass off.

If I recall correctly @Down you also got this version of the manga didn't you? Could you tell me if it's worth it?

Nah, I have the regular 5 volume edition that was published in France. The covers are the same but I can't tell you more.

Hm, fair enough. Well this online store doesn't have the 5 volume edition so I have no choice but to buy the omnibus format anyway.

Edit: after doing some research, it seems like Girl Friends was obly released in English in omnibus format, so one way or another I'd have to get that.

First physical (non-H) manga I ever bought arrived today, and jesus christ this thing is big. Looking forward to reading it

Got myself the 4 parts of Fate/Prototype to read while commuting. Books in Japanese have the nice added benefit of lasting more than a few days, and I really can't get enough of Sakurai.

I also got myself Shiei no Sona-Nyl Drama CD. I've always wanted to try and get one, but damn those things are (comparatively) expensive!  I think I'll just stick to books and games...

Holy shit my dakimakura actually came.

Pretty stoked given it was the first time I've used eBay so I wasn't sure if it'd get here.

The only complaint I have is that her panties are not striped like the picture showed, but considering it's a Chinese bootleg, I should be happy it's of decent quality.

Welp.... Nosebled just convinced me to make to biggest mistake of my life....
