Goodbye my dear friend

After a few years of this blog being inactive, I write again with bad news.

December 2, I received a message from a friend of a friend. I thought that it was strange since I know that she no longer mentions me as much to other people any more and that was my real account which no one on this side really knows. Anyway, I thought that it was another of her stalkers curious about me because she mentioned me somehow... it wasn't. And now I wish that was all it was.

He told me that our friend had died in a car accident on November 30. I was so hoping it was just the worst kind of stalker ever. But it wasn't.

I've known her for 10 years... 10 wonderfully weird years.

I planned on going to work there to be closer to her, but a recession hit there and I got fired from my work here. It would have been ideal, but with the recession, I had to stay here.
I never did get to leave the country, even to visit her, but I did get a passport with that in mind. My passport has long expired and now I see no point in renewing it.

She's dead. She's gone. I won't be having inane conversations with her about who loves whom most, her asking for chus and I give her smerps, and about bishies being groped.

We have drifted apart lately. She had her life, I had(?) mine. She was always so busy going to cons, partying with friends and working. I knew she didn't really need me any more, not like she did then. She has really grown into a wonderful adult and I was happy that she finally had better friends in her country than before, but also sad that she wasn't "mine" any more. She had places to go, people to be with, and hearts to break.
I was satisfied seeing that she was away on skype, it susually meant that she was busy RPing with someone. But now when I see her status, all it does is make me cry because I can no longer surprise her with a chu or a smerp or just a simple hi and then have one of our weird conversations.

Here I was planning on finally sending a manga or two again with some hot chocolate and mango juice, just like I used to, for her birthday. But now... blerg.

Goodbye Enchanter. Goodbye Rebecca. I love you, always have, always will. ~your Inoue

Haru wo Daiteita licensed!!!

Thank you SuBLime for licensing one of the bestest manga ever published!

To be released next year, and in omnibus form. 2 volumes in 1.

July 28, 2012 PACKAGE!!!

I finally got the package! Well... the one with the last 2 volumes of Embracing Love that I was missing from BeBeautiful.... unless there's a vol 6 out there....
And my CLAMP no Kiseki collection is finally complete! I finally have volume 1!

I read an earlier post, I was worried about the Embracing Love manga. I had no reason to worry because they were brand new! Volume 5 had Winter Cicada!!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeee*
The Japanese Style book, I ordered from amazon for 1 cent. The shipping was $3.99 though, which is still not that bad.
There is a print version of Starfighter chapter 1 between the two japanese magazines. It's so skinny. I love the webcomic, but I find the print versions a bit too expensive. That skinny for $14. I still want to buy the other chapters though, but I have to wait for them to go on sale.... sorry >.<

I also bought (re-bought) the first season of Black Butler. I bought it because it had to match the second season, of course

So now I have 2 copies of the first season, which isn't so bad. Who'd complain about having too much of Sebby!?

I got Be-Boy Gold June 2012 because it had Iwaki and Katou on the cover and Dear + because of the free CD o.o

I took a peek inside both and was pleased with the yummy smutt in both! Maybe someday I'll listen to the free CD...

The How to Draw books that I bought.... 2 BL related, 1 sexy gals (I got this because it was only $4, which made it cheaper than the stickers)

Sexy Moe faces and Sexy positions... yum :9

So now I have 3 books of the BL series. They came out with a girls version, but of course why would I spend $50+ for that?

Here are the front and back views of the Sexy Positions bookie

Here's the sheet of stickers that's more expensive than the Sexy Gals book

Cute cat puffy stickers

Oh! Oh! I also ordered Ramune! I just checked Akadot now, and the melon flavor is on special order. They're too pretty to drink!

I got a freebie from Akadot... A Hetalia clear file

Not to appear ungrateful or anything, but I'm not really into Hetalia o.o

Okay, this is it for now. I realize that I didn't post the pictures I had of the package before this one. I will.... eventually.
And I do want to write reviews of some of the manga that I've read.
Someday.... for now, good night!

Haru wo Daiteita my missing volumes

Someone finally posted Embracing love vol 3 and 5 on Amazon for $30!

I immediately bought them both, of course, and now they're headed for the forwarding company that gathers all the stuff that I buy from the US, then sends it here when I ask them to.

I hope that they're not too worn, since it's used. But the seller said that it was like new!

I bought the manga together with the second season of Kuroshitsuji... Someone stop me from buying the first season again! I already have the limited edition of the first, but this new one matches with the second one x.x
I'm OC that way ._.

New manga day!

Today I bought Gentlemen's Agreement Between a Rabbit & a Wolf

 I loved the scanlation, and I loved this manga even more. Why you may ask? Because there are stories in the english version that were not in the scanlations! 

They're not part of the story of the wolf and rabbit, but they're still good stories. It's always a nice surprise when the scanlation teams say that it's complete, and you buy the english release and find out there's more!

Today's release also had Kizuna vol 5

and

Devil's Infirmary

I got neither one from the store here because I already ordered it online. I got Devil at 19% off and Kizuna at 47% off plus an additional 10% because of a sale they had at the time.

I actually ordered the Rabbit and Wolf manga too, at 22% off, but when I found out it was going to be released here already, I just HAD to buy it! I really love this manga. So now I have 2 copies :3

I have 44 books waiting to be shipped to me from the US. There are only 41 titles though. I have 2 copies of TV Animation Kuroshitsuji II Black Tabloid

One for me, one for Enchan ^_^

And I have 3 copies of Black Sun 2!!!

At last, the second and final volume of the series. I got three because I'm giving one to Enchan and one to Rukia. I also promised Rukia the first volume... but it's still with me o.o

I will just post the other stuff in the package when I get it.

Oh, speaking of packages, I got the stuff I ordered from RightStuf last week! My Saiyuki manga is finally complete. I will probably post about this package some other time.

In other yaoi news...

DMP(June) finally licensed the last volume of Tyrant! I do hope they release the rest of the volumes soon. 

They also licensed Otoko Hiroimashita by CJ Michalski. That should make Chi happy, but I'm not sure if he's still into yaoi o.o

Oh and Sleepless Nights (Nemurenu Yoru wa Dare no Sei) by Sachi Murakami. This wasn't scanlated, so I'm not familiar with it.

Viz also licensed a few yaoi titles under their new line SuBLime. 

I've heard of them since they announced that they're licensing Sex Pistols (formerly published by TokyoPop), October of last year. 

I'm excited! I hope they do the yaoi genre justice.

Other titles they've licensed are: 

1. Apple Scented Rain Blossoms (Shinzuku Hanabira Ringo no Kaori) by Toko Kawaii - 2 volumes licensed, though they'll be releasing this digitally. Hope they print it!
2. Yebisu Celebrities by Kaoru Iwamoto and Shinri Fuwa - 3 volumes licensed! Now I'm glad I didn't buy a new volume released by BeBeautiful which is now worth at least $50. It is probably a collector's item now though... but... no. The only manga I'm seriously contemplating buying at that price are the Embracing Love volumes I'm missing.
3. Kiss Ariki by Youka Nitta - finally! In print! They've been releasing it on kindle... I'd rather read the book. It's cheaper and my tab is pretty heavy x.x
4. Awkward Silence (Bukiyō na Silent) by Hinako Takanaga - Love this title as well. It's nice and sweet. It'll have you rooting for the couple!

Okay... I've only gone to their site, and they have a lot more! If anyone is reading this, go check out their site! http://www.sublimemanga.com/

Wow... that was longer than I expected o.o

Now on to the continuation of the Rabbit and Wolf manga! Then sleep... glorious sleep....

Oh boy...

oh...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

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 ._.

Rightstuf

THE GET BACKERS COMPLETE SERIES DVD IS ON SALE!!!! 


Used to be $89.98, now it's only $53.99!!!!

T.T


I already had my orders shipped a week ago *bawl*

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*

Cripes!

Holy guacamole! I just spent about US$200 online! All on bishie related goodies of course... but still!!!! What's wrong with me!

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:

Ghost Talkers Daydream vol 6

and

Gente vol 3 

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!
