This will mostly hold reviews/reactions of manga, real books and scanlations, that I have read. 75% of which are yummy, yummy yaoi.
There will also be rants and raves about anime and life in general...

The package is finally here!

YES! They finally delivered the package!


Manga and Sebby notebook


Artbooks

There were also DVDs for my friend and 3 big cans of Old Bay seasoning. But they weren't bishie related.... unless I sprinkled the Old Bay on the bishies o.o

There are a lot of old titles there, some of which didn't get to my country, others I didn't feel like buying at the time and couldn't find it anywhere when I wanted it. 
One manga however I bought, but had to re-purchase because I gave my copy away to a friend. I was so devastated when I couldn't even buy it online for a reasonable price... until I found Amazon Marketplace. Some books are still uber expensive, but there are some selling manga for decent prices... you just have to be fast! I just lost out on Embracing Love vol 3... the cheapest it's at is now at $49.99 plus shipping.... and that's used! The new ones are at $79.99!

Anywhoo... the most expensive book in that package was the one with the green cover. It's in Japanese and it's about drawing kissing scenes for BL manga. And it has a CD.

Kiss Scene rough sketches - Drawing for Boys Love (Yaoi)

It cost $51.10. I have no idea what was going on in my head when I ordered it o.o

I received 2 novels from Yaoi Club(Akadot) because I ordered 2 Japanese manga. I'm not sure up to when their promo is, but I kinda harassed them, with one email, about it coz it wasn't in the list of things they were shipping to me. I just asked if I was qualified for their promo even if I was ordering through YC instead of Akadot. They didn't answer ._.
I was pleasantly surprised to get them... even though I already had them...

Okay, that's enough for now. I will post more about the manga in the package during the weekend or maybe during my Christmas break. Only 2 working days left!!!!! *dances*

I will finally get to read the end of Seven Days!!!!

This week in new and new old manga :D

I finally got the manga I ordered from Right Stuf today!
I got the post office notification last week, Friday, but I could only get it today. The package actually got here Oct 28th. It was sent out Oct 11th... It got here FAST! Well, I did tell them I wanted to avoid the Christmas rush...
These are the books I ordered when Media Blasters(Kitty Media) was on sale... well I thought they were on sale, but I just checked now and the prices are still as low as when I ordered them o.o
They're old titles that never got here. So I'm happy now ^_^

I ordered one that wasn't yaoi... and apparently not from Kitty
The first volume of Nightmares for Sale
It's about a pawnshop, whose owners have a different view on what things are valuable... The stories are nice and creepy. I bought volume 2 here looooooong ago and on sale... and I have no idea where it is now o.o

And now for the yaoi from Kitty!

I was always curious about the Taste of Boy Boy DVD, so I ordered it. You have a choice of what manga to pair it up with, I chose Crimson Spell vol 1. Other choices are A King's Lesson, Dog Style vol 1, Scandalous Seiryo University vol 1 and Skyscrapers of Oz. I'd have gotten Dog Style, but vol 2 is so hard to find at a reasonable price! Amazon sellers have it at US$49. I guess it's still better than Love Like a Hurricane vol 1 which is selling at US$149, USED! 
Oh, the DVD itself was inserted in the manga so it had no case of it's own. And I'm sorry to say that it's not really worth it coz all it had were sneak peeks of the yaoi DVDs and the manga they had.


Family 

I've always wanted this, Amazon itself didn't have it. But RightStuf did! 

Incubus 2

and 3

I've had volume 1 for the longest time, didn't really enjoy it, but when I saw it on the Kitty DVD preview, it seemed interesting... That DVD is evil o.o

Poison Cherry Drive

This one is really old, released in english in 2006, but like a lot of manga, it didn't get here to my neck of the woods. I think I have the scans.... somewhere...

Rose of the Rhine
Another old one, 2007, that never got here.

Sense and Sexuality
I've been on the fence about getting this.... But when I saw that it was only for US$6, I thought that I might as well get it

o.o
Another one that's not Kitty. This is from Yaoi Press
Cain Trilogy set
The customs checker gave me a weird look after he saw the cover on this >>;;

And that's it for the Right Stuf package.
Now for the releases this week.

The manga that I bought...
Border vol 2


Bad Teacher's Equation vol 2
Strange that Right Stuf has this as coming soon... o.o

Yakuza Cafe
I read this as I was waiting for my order for dinner on the day I bought it. 
The main story is nice, needs more smutt. I wish they had more on the story of Zaouji, I like him.

Other manga that came out here but I didn't get are:
  • Mr. Tiger and Mr. Wolf
  • Seven Days - Friday to Sunday (I've been waiting for the longest time for this! They stopped scanlating it when it was licensed)
I didn't get them because I ordered them from Yaoi Club(Akadot) because I was afraid they wouldn't get here... Like these manga:
  • Great Place High School - Student Council vol 3
  • Only Serious About You vol 1 - I love this! The story is so so cute!
  • Private Teacher vol 1
Not so disappointed that they didn't get released here because I ordered them too :3
Though.... I will be getting them next month. Must..... be.... patient ._.

New old manga

I ordered a few stuff from Amazon and Yaoi Club a few months ago, and I finally got them!
Yaoi club screwed up a bit, but after a day or 2 fixed it. It really wasn't much of a screw up... if it was being sent directly to me, but since it's being sent to a forwarding company, what happened delayed my order a few weeks.

Anyhoo...

The package contained a total of 34 items, 31 were mine. I ordered some manga that were released but never got to this side of the world, some that I was too slow to buy and are now hard to find and DVDs.

DVDs first coz there are only 2. Both I ordered from Amazon.
Black Butler part 2 of season 1. I'm so excited that they're actually releasing season 2!
and
Mushishi! This was a last minute purchase coz it was on sale :D got it for $16.99, original price was $39.98.

I got the Kiss of Fire artbook for $4.00 at yaoiclub! or was is $5.00... yup! it was 4... original price $24.95!
I know I already have one, but I don't know where it's at ;.;

And.... I'm tired x.x

It's already 2:30 am, and I have work later.

Here's a pic of my stuff... will post more about them when I have the time.

TEAHOUSE!!!!
Love that webcomic... aside from the story being really interesting and the bishies absolutely yummy... the art is extremely beautiful.
Go! Go to www.teahousecomic.com/comic/ and prepare to drooooooooooool. It is just exquisite.

And with that, good night *bows*

Manga this week

Finally! A good manga week! There's YAOI!

That Was Good - japanese title Gochisousama
I read the scanlation and liked it.... with the exception of one part, but I can ignore it... for the most part


Your Story I've Known - I also have the scans, but I don't remember it much coz it was released 2009 o.o


The Desert Prince - partially scanlated. I liked it... Looking forward to the other stories in this manga.
This was not on the original list that was supposed to be released this week. But there it is!

Tyrant Falls in Love vol 3 - Yes! The next volume! Buuuuuuuuuut.... It wasn't on the list for release here in my lowly country ;.;
I hope that DMP/June licenses the rest of the volumes soon. The series is going to be ended soon. I loooooooove this <3

There are 2 non yaoi manga that I have on my list that are going to be released this week.
They are:

and
The last volume of Gente, which is related to Ristorante Paradiso. The art is a bit iffy, but you'll get used to it. 


We had a free comic book deux last weekend. I was able to get a few titles I've been wanting on sale. Yay! 
But that will be another entry... I'm tired and bloated... more bloated than usual... 
Until next time ^_^

Happy Easter! ... but not so happy for yaoi lovers

First off, TokyoPop is shutting down! If you go to Tokyopop.com it takes you to a facebook page.... What's gonna happen to my collections! Specially the unfinished ones.... so many unfinished ones....

No new yaoi will be released this week, but...
Black Butler vol 5 will be released this week. Sebby baby!

Vampire Hunter D vol 16 is also out...
I have all of them, haven't read a single one o.o

and Kingyo Used Books vol 3


Last week, I was able to reserve Treasure vol 2
2 more volumes to go :)

Yellow 2 vol 2 was also released, but it wasn't available here in my country
I guess I'll be ordering it online...

I was happy that I finally got a non-Bishie Prince comment!

Japan quake

As everyone might have heard by now, an 8.9 quake hit Japan yesterday, March 11, 2011.

I've been watching a few videos on BBC, the ones on CNN came later and didn't want to play. They gave me goosebumps!

Watching that gigantic wave wash away Sendai, taking with it houses and cars, and most probably lives. No one knows how many lives were lost, no one will probably know the exact number of people that  have died. And will die.
There was one video where a car was stopped on a bridge on a river, who's water was slowly rising, with the rest of the tsunami water approaching. I wonder if the people in the car made it. The wave was already slowing down at that point, that's the way it appeared to me because it was taken from high above, I know I could be wrong.

I just watched another video showing the fires. And looked at some of the pictures.

It really scares me. The number of earthquakes lately have increased and have gotten stronger.
The Philippines, where I am, has also been hit with much smaller quakes lately, and we were included in the tsunami warning. The highest one was about 2 feet high.

It makes me remember the quake the Philippines had 20 years ago. I was in college (yes, I know I'm dating myself :p), but I didn't have classes on that day so it happened while I was watching TV. Watching the footage of the supermarket reminded me of how I felt that day... After all the shaking, we all laughed and joked around... Until we saw the footage of the damage done to Baguio city....
I had to thank my lucky stars, and my mom, for not allowing me to study in Baguio as I wanted. The school was a total wreck, and is now known to be haunted.

I pray that whatever diety exists pay special attention to Japan tonight and the next few days.

Oh, I heard on the radio yesterday that we had a 5.2 quake in Mindoro, a province here, the day before yesterday. I've been looking for an article of it in 2 of the bigger local network's websites. Apparently, it's not that big of  a deal for them, since I could find no mention of it... I hope no one got hurt there.

New manga, old order

So... the order I placed with amazon on January 10 finally arrived. 2 months.... All my excitement has waned...

I finally got my hands on Desire Sensibility. I am hoping that there are extras that weren't included in the scanlation
Yokubou Sensibility 

Black Winged Love, I've had this in my shopping cart for a while now, but it was out of stock for the longest time and now I finally have it. Those who love angsty stories will love this
Koi no Kokoro ni Kuroi Hane  

Finder series volumes 1 and 2. This series has a lot of yaoi fans abuzz, but I don't particularly like the story... I do like Fei Long though... volume 3 is supposed to come out next week


I wonder if the Undergrand Hotel vol 2 is the last of the series. One way to find out right?

Tyrant Who Falls in Love vol 1 is mine now. Volume 2 was available here, but vol 1 wasn't... Annoying, isn't it?
Koisuru Boukun  
Love is Like a Hurricane vol 3. Set almost complete... only volume 1 left to buy... I think o.o
Koi wa Itsumo Arashi no Youni  
There are 3 series that are finally complete.
Breath vol 5 - I can finally read the whole series!

S novel vol 4. This never made it to this country.... and was also unavailable in amazon for the looooooongest time... And now, it's here... and it's MINE!

and finally Yaoi Hentai vol 4. I was so looking forward to their final volume, but instead of going out with a bang, it was barely a squeak! The first story was ok, but the rest were too meh for me... Even Trach the Tentacle Monster didn't hold my interest much.

I should have bought Yaoi: Anthology vol 2 instead. I've had it in my shopping cart for a while too.

I wonder whatever happened to Zesty and Prince... it's annoying that Yaoi Press is kaput. THEY NEVER EVEN WENT ALL THE WAY!!!

The last item that I got from my order was the Limited Edition box of Kuroshitsuji season 1 part 1.
KuroShitsuji 
part 2 is already available! I will get it of course!

And that's it for now... *sneezes*
