Recent (Japanese) Things You Have Purchased

[Mago Ivo]

I recently thought that I'm not a person who can be satisfied by having only one car at a time, even if it's a proper Jaguar.
My solution? I went and bought, two of the best japanese things in my opinion.
The EG is a project car for track/mountain roads, while the Legacy is the more mature (but still quite fun) daily.

My (all yuri) Manga haul for the month of January just arrived today~

 

Spoiler

Decided I better get around to reading Wataoshi and Sasakoi since both of those have anime adaptations announced so grabbed all the current volumes of those + got all of Futari Escape since that's the one other ongoing YuriHime title that I haven't been following yet.

After that got the new volumes of KimiShinu, Citrus+ and Fuzuroi no Reni, and then a few new series.

[chasekilleen]

Got a few Japanese novels lately

[Nemesis]

With SakuToki physicals coming in, I'll put in the rest of my merchandise that I just got:

[Shinyun226]

Combination of a few hauls that came in over the past couple of weeks:

 

Spoiler

Okujo no Yurireisan ~Full Chorus~

Pretty famous Yurige I've been been wanting to get for a while. Liar Soft finally just put out a re-issue of this late last year, so had to pick it up.

Spoiler

White Album (Original release) - Will be a little bit until I play this (ToHeart is up next on my Leaf queue) but something I was gonna have to buy eventually either way, so decided to pick it up.

Spoiler

Princess Danger 1&2. Two old, fairly obscure ADV games by JANIS. They're apparently Yurige so decided to pick them up.

Spoiler

Oudou Yuusha and Diabolique (Alice Soft)

These were honestly kind of filler-purchases (basically I wanted some additional cheap/small items to get my money's worth on shipping), but Diabolique I have heard really good things about so was probably something I'd pick up eventually. Oudou Yuusha was a pretty random choice, but I generally like RPGs by AliceSoft so can't hurt.

Spoiler

Ao to Ao no Shizuku ~a calling from tears~

First game by Lass. Got interested in the developer after hearing about 3days (their 2nd game), and seems like most of their catalogue is pretty well regarded so decided to pick this up.

Spoiler

Triangle Heart 1・2・3 

So after watching Lyrical Nanoha for the first time earlier this year, I found out that it was actually a sort of spin-off of Triangle Heart 3 so...  being the type that's pretty OCD about experiencing the source material before adaptations (even if Nanoha isn't really a direct adaption), had to pick these up.

Spoiler

And, on the topic of Nanoha, got the Blu-ray box for A's + the respective Sound Stage Drama CDs (still have to track down the dramas for the 1st series as well).

 

Spoiler

Finished collecting all the Air Drama CDs (volumes 6-9)

 

Spoiler

Volumes 1 and 3 of the Snow Drama CDs. Unfortunately they stopped after 3 so the Shigure and Ouka routes never got adapted but... liked the game a lot so definitely wanted to pick these up. Will have to track down vol 2 (Asahi) as well eventually.

 

Spoiler

Special Edition of the Blu-ray for the new WataTen movie

 

Spoiler

Spoiler

And lastly a whole bunch of new Yuri manga~

[Tasuke]

These have FINALLY shown up, about three weeks late or so;

 sizing is optimized for the OBITSU 24ver.II foot, slightly larger than that of the OBITSU 26.

it turns out that the 24 ankle ball/peg and foot fits to the 26's legs just fine... and, -to me at least- actually looks more proportionate, as well;

I just came back from my 3 week visit to Japan

I made few visits to the shops like BookOff, Disk Union, Tower Records - and I bought a ton of music on CDs, DVDs, records and cassettes  

And on Monday, when I was killing time before return flight walking around Akihabara, I happened to enter "TRADER" game shop, where I bought 5 VNs.

PSV:

1) Irotoridori No Sekai 
2) Ano Ko wa Ore kara Hanarenai

PSP:

3) Kokoro Connect - it was dirt cheap in a 100JPY basket, so why not  
4) Clannad - I have Steam edition, but I wanted some kind of physical edition to put on the shelf
5) ~Da Capo I & II~ Plus Situation Portable

Vita version of Irotoridori No Sekai seems impossible to download, since the download edition has been pulled from PS Store around 2017, and it seems no one has made a good rip of the cartridge. Therefore my only chance to play it was to get actual physical version (and Vita of course) - and then either try to read it on Vita itself, or make a rip myself to use with emulator. So I was really happy to find two copies of it on the TRADER's shelf with a quite decent price tag of 2900 JPY

Finally got my copy of the Cartagra Remake

[Shinyun226]

Bunch of stuff that came in this past week:

Spoiler

PS4/All ages port of Ever Maiden.

Bought and played the Windows version last year and absolutely loved it. The console port apparently has some new stuff added, so decided to double-dip and get this version too.

Spoiler

Cartagra FHD

Recently finished the Flowers series, and have been interested in trying Innocent Grey's other games so... since it just so happened a remaster of their first game, Cartagra, was coming out I decided to pick it up.

Spoiler

Flowers related CDs.

Vocal Collection Box, OSTs and Drama CDs.

For whatever reason the Summer OST specifically was out of stock everywhere (probably out of print) so I'll likely have to track down a used copy later.

Spoiler

Separate order of older stuff from Surugaya.

Grabbed a few KID games: Erde, Iris and Pocket Love 2 + some KID related CDs and fanbooks.

Spoiler

And lastly this month's new Yuri manga

Cartagra FHD

Noice, I am actually playing right now and boy does it feel good to see the game in full screen, rather than 4:3 ratio. The CG looks so much cleaner, the shading of the characters and everything is so good compared to the first game and Shuugo finally has a VA.

I thought that Shuugo had a VA because he has a voice option in the setting of the original game, but no, I got jebaited and it was in certain scenes where the VA actually spoke. But I am so far loving this game

I have bought a display case and put all of my games in that case, so it looks a lot neater.

During April and first half of May I went to Japan again.

This time I bought less games than last year - only 3 PS2 VNs

However I brought back much more music in analog formats - 12 records and 8 cassettes,

I also got a cute portable tape recorder from 1968:
