Fangirl time, aka “YESASIA SELLS DOUJINSHI!”

Now, as I bet most people reading this blog don’t know, I’m a huge yaoi fan. xD Mostly Prince of Tennis yaoi, but I’m starting to get into other actual yaoi manga (as opposed to doujinshi/fanfics). My favorite Prince of Tennis doujinshi artist is Kodaka Kazuma, a professional yaoi mangaka that just happens to write PoT yaoi also. <33 I love her art, it’s really great when it’s serious and really adorable when it’s chibis. I love her stories too! She just so happens to write doujinshi for my FAVORITE pairing, the golden pair, and I own her golden pair anthology called Darling. I also own her hilarious comedy doujinshi Seishun gakuen Paradise, with lots of mini stories including yaoi sex ed, a school festival, evil!Fuji…
According to Wikipedia, Kodaka Kazuma’s manga Kizuna was one of the first and most popular yaoi manga. I still think it’s so cool that she does PoT doujinshi too~
So anyway! I was on Yesasia, looking for Kizuna volumes, because I’ve been thinking about reading it and apparently the English version is totally censored. My search was pretty unsuccessful (I only found Chinese versions), but it lead me to an amazing finding!
YESASIA SELLS DOUJINSHI!

New stuff, yay!

Well, I’m kinda procrastinating my homework right now, so I took the time to put together two orders, one on CDJapan and one on Yesasia…
So this is what I ended up getting:
Athena & Robikerottsu – Shouri no BIG WAVE!!! (limited edition)
Morning Musume – Mikan (normal edition)
Morning Musume – Mikan (limited edition A)
Morning Musume – Mikan (limited edition B)
Hello! Project 2007 Winter Live DVD Box (limited)
SKET DANCE volume 1
The Morning Musume. All Singles Complete Zen 35 Kyoku – 10th Anniversary (limited)
Megane’s – Manatsu no Megane’s (limited)
Kawamura Takashi – C’mon every burning (limited)
As soon as I heard about the Athena single, I knew I had to get it- I mean, it’s Risa and Aika and two H!P Kids…
I actually ended up getting all three versions of Mikan. I was looking on Yesasia, and for each of them it said the first press came with a randomly selected photocard. I love the photocards, so I figured it’s definitely worth it to buy all three, not to mention it’s my favorite Morning Musume song in a while, so…
And as for the box set, who could turn that down? I mean, it’s THREE concerts- the normal concert and the Wonderful Hearts/Elder Club concerts that are usually only released to the fanclub.
Then there’s SKET DANCE volume 1, one of the newest Shounen Jump series- I absolutely love it, so when I heard the first volume was out I had to buy it. xD
Since I bought the Momusu 10th anniversary CD, it only makes sense to buy the DVD that goes along with it- it includes all of their PVs, including an alternate version of Mikan and something to do with LOVE Machine…
Then there are the two PoT character singles. At first it started off with me looking for something cheap to randomly add to the CD Japan order (I put the Momusu DVD in a separate order on CD Japan because I didn’t want it to hold back the other stuff since it’s coming out later) because if I hit 5000 yen I’d get a 500 yen coupon, and I ended up with Manatsu no Megane’s. Then I found out about Taka’s new single, which actually includes a b-side (which is rare for PoT singles, usually it’s just the title track, an instrumental, and maybe a track with random talk from the seiyuu) and stuff, so…xD;

AND I also bought a couple of doujinshi yesterday…someone was selling Seishun Gakuen Paradise by Kodaka Kazuma for $2, so of course I bought that, and she was also selling some other doujinshi for cheap prices so I got two anthologies, Ground Smash 2 and Love Prince 4.

AND the girl who runs (well, at this point, it should be ‘ran’) doujinstar.com is selling all her Prince of Tennis stuff- all of it. SOOOO of course I had to get some, right?

I ordered all this stuff a bit more than a week ago, but it’s not going to be shipped until she puts the last batch of her stuff up for sale- I’m waiting until the end just in case I want anything from the third batch of stuff. xD

EDIT: ooh hey even more stuff! don’t feel like making a new post, so…
AAND someone else on the garagesalejapan LJ community just put up some CDs including W’s two albums (the first press of the second one) and Berryz Koubou’s first two albums (again, the second album was the first press edition) so I just had to grab some of them. I ended up buying the two W albums and the second Berryz album~
Seriously, with shipping it ended up being $33.13. That’s basically how much one album is on Yesasia.
I’m having lots of fun with this Livejournal community…

WHEE FREE DOUJINSHI

xDD
The owner of doujinstar.com (which is down at the moment apparently) is giving away a bunch of doujinshi over on the Tenipuri community on Livejournal…2 per person, $4 for shipping. =3 Of course I immediately grabbed 2 MG doujinshi (Apple Rain and Strawberry Tart)…there was also the doujinshi Echizen Ryoma by Flower Place which I’ve been wanting for a bit (it’s the counterpart to the doujinshi Momoshiro Takeshi, which I already have), but it was already taken by the time I got there. Oh well.

They’re going to be shipped out on Monday, which means I should be able to get them when I come home next weekend. =3 YAAAAYY

Darling!

entry temporarily deleted

Ahaha, sales are very very good~

Lolz, so I posted about the doujinshi in my last post, but then I got an e-mail from the owner saying that 3 of them were sold out. Aww. The only one that wasn’t was Young Boy Illustrated- thankfully that was probably the one I wanted the most, lolz. xD
So, instead, she made some more offers…which were UBER UBER UBER CHEAP and so I ended up buying 15 DOUJINSHI for $48. And that’s including shipping.
O_______O
Honestly, I wasn’t going to spend that much, but I can’t turn down uber uber cheap prices!
First she offered some other Todoya doujinshi (Todoya is the group that did Young Boy Illustrated) for only $3 each…and then she said that there was a set of 5 Seigaku crack doujinshi which she was selling for $4 or $15 for the entire set…and then she had a Photobucket folder full of covers of unsorted doujinshi by MG, who did one of my favorite doujinshi…and they were TWO DOLLARS EACH
*diiieeessss*
Soo, if you haven’t figured out where this is going yet…
I ended up buying 3 of the Todoya doujinshi (in addition to Young Boy Illustrated), the entire 5-book set, and 6 MG doujinshi.
Oh dear lord. @______@

So that brings my doujinshi total up to 24. YAAAAYYYY

And now I know how to work PayPal! YAAAAAYYYY USEFUL INFORMATION FOR THE FUTURE

Here’s the list:

Young Boy Illustrated: $5.00
Let’s Return to the Main Subject: $3.00
Hot-Blooded Student Council President: $3.00
Miracle Essu!: $3.00
5 Book Set: $15.00
MG Book 23 (Graphite): $2.00
MG Book 24 (Honey Sweet): $2.00
MG Book 1 (Cool Prince of Tennis Story): $2.00
MG Book 7 (Orange Juice): $2.00
MG Book 10 (Thundering Sky): $2.00
MG Book 11 (Momo’s Day): $2.00
(Then shipping was $4, and it was an extra $3 to send the money through PayPal using a credit card…)

Let’s Return to the Main Subject is apparently Atobe x Momo x Ryoma, and apparently Atobe’s an uber dork, so I’m looking forward to reading this one…=P
Hot-Blooded Student Council President…ok, honestly I have no idea, but it looked amusing so I grabbed it. It’s one of the doujinshi on the site that didn’t have a description.
Miracle Essu! apparently has Inui trying to seduce Kaidou and Karupin x Everyone, among other things…
The 5-book set didn’t have any descriptions either, but it looked interesting enough. I had been thinking about it earlier, but I didn’t get them because I really didn’t know anything about them. Now, with the cheap price, I figured “why not?”
The MG books…well at first I just asked about all the images (5 of them) that had Eiji in them. =P Then it turned out 3 of them were out of stock (including the one I wanted the most, “Milk Caramel”, but whatever), but the owner gave me some recommendations (since she noticed my pattern xP), so I got three of those and then I saw one that looked like a cute Momo/Ryoma. =P So I ended up with 6 doujinshi for $2 each.

Kyaaa~ she’s sending them tomorrow, maybe maybe maybe if I’m really lucky they’ll get here before school starts! =D Considering there’s seriously no way they’ll come this week, maybe Monday! I don’t have to leave for school until late afternoon, so…

Ok, I placed the order from earlier.

And I bought the $20 copy of GIGS’ Flower ~Saki Midareshi Hana~. xDDD I couldn’t resist, ok? And to be honest, half the time my mom forgets to either ask me for the money or subtract it from my bank account, so…lolz I feel only a bit guilty. XD If she does ask, I have the money anyway, so…

And then I’m buying four doujinshi from doujinstar.com, I just e-mailed the owner of the site and I’m waiting for her to get back to me. I honestly have never done a purchase by e-mail or anything, but I can figure it out. xD It’s much better than paying the original prices. Much cheaper this way.

A~h, three crack doujinshi and one Golden Pair. =P
I’ve had my eye on the last one for a while now…it just looks uber amazing. xD The first one got me with “Oishi’s hair in the morning”, and I had been contemplating buying it for a while but I didn’t feel like paying $15 for it…with the sale I couldn’t resist. XP The second one had vampire Eiji on the cover…
and the third one is Golden Pair. I don’t think I really need to explain further.

Maybe the other stuff I bought earlier will come tomorrow. Then again I’ve been saying that for over a week now, and nothing yet…*sigh*
I don’t think that the stuff I just ordered will come before I leave for Nobles on Monday night, but it’s only 5-day boarding so I’ll get it the next weekend. =P Except for the Yesasia stuff, that always takes forever, so it’ll probably come by the weekend after.

Why is shipping so expensive? xD

I’m currently planning out yet another order…*sigh*
At the moment, this is what’s in it:
Tennis no Oujisama Zenkoku Taikai Hen (Prince of Tennis National Tournament) vol. 3
Morning Musume – SEXY 8 BEAT (limited edition)
Cap to Bin – Thank You!! (limited release)
I have to get the Nationals DVD. It’s uber expensive ($46.25 on Yesasia, $42.51 on CDJapan), but it’s Golden Pair angst and it’s my favorite episode in the entire OVA series, and maybe even the entire series in general, and it’s really cute and amazing, and…I mean, it starts off with lots of Eiji angsting and Golden Pair love, and then it turns into Eiji being uber cute and amazing and more Golden Pair love. <33333 The episode has its own folder in My Pictures for screenshots- seriously, not many episodes do. Only the Golden Pair flashback episode (freshman Eiji = THE CUTEST THING EVER), the chibi episodes, the Prince of Bowling/Billiards/Volleyball episodes, and episode 142 (which happens to be another cute Eiji episode, but it’s missing the angst that makes Zenkoku episode 4 so great), and this episode of course. This episode has everything from Eiji crying over Oishi to playing doubles in singles to self-rape…
For the record, every time I watch this episode I’m in tears by the time Eiji confronts Oishi in the flashbacks…yes, I cry over a tennis anime. >____> Shut up.
I wanna make a couple of animated GIFs from that episode, but sadly, VirtualDub doesn’t work with .mp4 files. I dunno if I could do it with another program or what…
Lolz I’m gonna shut up about that episode now. I could probably rant on about it for like ever…
Then there’s episode 5 of the OVA, which is also on this DVD. Honestly, I couldn’t care less about that episode. It’s mostly filler anyway. Except for the scene where Kaidou and Yagyuu switch places and play as each other. That scene’s great, though it makes no sense whatsoever in the anime…

ANYWAY back on track.
Then there’s Cap to Bin’s Thank You!!. I didn’t think too much of the song when I first heard it, but I love it at the moment~ <33333 Not to mention Eiji’s like FRONT AND CENTER on the cover, and I’m planning on collecting all CDs involving Eiji anyway, so…
And then SEXY 8 BEAT. I’m still catching up with Morning Musume; I want their mini-album also but this order is really expensive already, and I have the money to buy it along with this stuff but my mom doesn’t like it if I spend more than ~$100 on one order so I’ll get it later.

I looked up all the items and added everything to my cart on both Yesasia and CD Japan…
CD Japan has cheaper prices for the items. It’s great- the Tenipuri DVD’s $46.25 on Yesasia but only $42.51 on CD Japan; SEXY 8 BEAT’s $34.75 on Yesasia but only $30.60 on CD Japan, and Thank You!! is $9.25 on Yesasia but only $6.32 on CD Japan.
However…shipping is uber expensive on CD Japan. DDDDD: It ends up being more expensive to buy it on CD Japan…
Maybe I’m just used to Yesasia’s free shipping. I dunno.
I apparently have a 500 yen coupon on CD Japan, and 200 frequent shopper points, so maybe if I use those, it’ll be a bit less expensive…still though, I feel like I’m being ripped off to pay so much just for shipping. D:
So, I think I’m just gonna use Yesasia for this…I’ll save the coupon and the frequent shopper points for stuff I can’t get on Yesasia (meaning, more PoT character singles)…

Lolz, and I’m also getting some doujinshi. Doujinstar.com is having a sale where everything’s $5, and shipping has a flat rate of $4 for more than 1 doujinshi…so I can’t help myself. =P
4 doujinshi for $24…yaaay~

PortCon Maine 2007 / New j-pop + doujinshi

So last weekend my friends and I all went to PortCon Maine. To be honest…it sucked compared to Anime Boston. There really wasn’t that much to do, and the dealer’s room was pretty small. But it wasn’t too bad- we had lots of fun and ended up with an uber amount of new inside jokes (Data Pretty Pretty Princess- “There’s a 12.5% chance I’ll land on a black ring space”).
Basically, this is what I got:
The Prince of Tennis volume 4
The Prince of Tennis volume 5
The Prince of Tennis volume 6
Death Note volume 12 (zomg, they had it early)
Naruto Original Soundtrack 3
Prince of Tennis OST 2
Prince of Tennis OST 3
NANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA – THE END
2 Prince of Tennis chibi mini-posters
some sort of Prince of Tennis normal mini-poster
and some other various small items.
I really really wanted a doujinshi, but they didn’t have any PG/PG-13 Prince of Tennis doujinshi. T____T There was like one Naruto PG doujinshi, but I didn’t get it…and there were some more doujinshi at another booth, but that booth didn’t separate the porn from the rest, so I couldn’t tell and I figured unless I recognized a specific doujinshi, I wouldn’t take the risk.
As for the CDs…I didn’t mean to buy 4 CDs, especially not if only one of them was j-pop, but they were cheap. xDDD $10 for each of the soundtracks, and $15 for the NANA album. See, I went around the dealer’s room looking for j-pop, and I didn’t see any anywhere, just soundtracks, so I went ahead and bought some soundtracks. Then later I was wandering around…and one of the booths added a ton of j-pop. xD;; And it was cheap, so I figured why not…

So anyway. On Thursday, I made some another order from Yesasia (and CD Japan, too, lolz. xD):
Morning Musume – Egao YES Nude (limited edition A CD+DVD) (Hong Kong version)
Morning Musume – Onna ni Sachi Are (limited edition B CD+photobook)
Aqua Timez – ALONES
Naruto 38
Aozu – White Line
Pull Tab to Can – Wonderful Days

Earlier this week, I was watching more Tenipuri, and I hit episode 141- the welcome back party for Tezuka (lolz, filler, but whatever. the camp was good filler, the actual match…well, I got slightly depressed and had to take a break after Eiji lost. To a filler character! :arg) where some of the rival players performed a song- Wonderful Days. And then that song was used as the 7th ending theme…
I’m like in love with the song. xD So, as a spur-of-the-moment thing, I looked it up on Yesasia. Out of print, dammit. So then I figured I’d at least check a few other sites. I went on CD Japan, and sure enough, it was on there~ So I ordered that single, along with White Line, the 4th ending and also a song sung by the seiyuu- and also out of print on Yesasia. xD
As for the rest- of course I’m pre-ordering Momusu’s upcoming single, and ALONES by Aqua Timez, the current Bleach opening. I jumped at the chance to grab the limited edition of Egao YES Nude, even though it is the Hong Kong version…I’m a sucker for anything limited. =P

My Amazon order with Kanashimi Twilight and the Ore Ska Band stuff that I made a month ago still hasn’t even shipped yet. >__< Raaaaawwwr I’ll give it like two more weeks.

I also ordered some doujinshi, yaaay! xD Okk, I really can’t read most of the Japanese stuff. But I figure I will be able to in the future, and for now I’m happy just looking at the pictures and trying to possibly figure out any bit of Japanese that I can. I currently have 4 doujinshi:
Tennis Game of the Worst Supremacy (Arta+Psytron)
Throw Up Your Fist (Koroketsu) (Oishi x Kikumaru)
The Color of Walnut… (MG) (Oishi x Kikumaru)
Gold (Special Cat) (Oishi x Kikumaru)

The same day I made the Yesasia and CD Japan orders, I also ordered 4 doujinshi off of the same site, Doujinshi Star– and I got a free doujinshi because altogether I’ve spent $100 there. xD So this is what I ended up getting:
Afghanistan Bananastan (Todoya)
Contagion (Flower Place) (Fuji x Tezuka, Momo x Ryoma)
Momoshiro Takeshi (Flower Place) (Momo x Ryoma)
Prince of Summer (Flower Place) (Ryoma x Eiji)
Pureness (Pink Panthers) (Fuji x Tezuka)

I’m kinda surprised at myself for not getting any Golden Pair doujinshi. xD But variety is always good. xD
Apparently the first one is a parody of the uber crack Prince of Tennis anime movie. That movie was AMAZING. xDDDDD It fails so much, but it’s SOOOO fun to watch! When I saw this doujinshi, I just had to get it. xD

Raaaawwwr, I plan on being caught up entirely with Prince of Tennis within…let’s go with a week and a half, just to be on the safe side. xD

Lolz, Tenipuri doujinshi involving Minimoni~

EDIT: I originally wrote this about the raw scans I found, but I found a scanlation after I wrote this~ Scroll down to the first edit to download the scanlation, and the third edit for a better summary.

I was going through a doujinshi download list a bit ago, and I saw a doujinshi titled “Powerpuff Boys”. And, being the uber doujinshi fan I am, I had to download it.
To my surprise, I found out that it doesn’t really have much to do with the Powerpuff Girls. However…they’re all crossdressing, and not only that: Ryoma, Kaidou, Eiji, and Fuji were dressing up as MINIMONI. The cartoon versions.
Lolz, I didn’t get it at first. And since it’s not scanlated, I still don’t get most of it. But it involves Minimoni, lolz. xD
Download link

Kaidou’s Mika- lolz, guess it was cause of the bandana. And I thiink Ryoma’s Mari, Fuji’s Aibon, and Eiji’s Nono. xD
I didn’t recognize the outfits from that picture…I didn’t realize it involved Minimoni until page 6 when “Minimoni.” is in big text at the top. xD I freaked out, being the uber H!P fan I am…
The rest of the regulars are “Dekamoni.”. I Wiki’d it cause it sounded kinda familiar, and apparently it was a one-shot thing (not H!P related) that Tsunku produced or something. *shrug*
So they go out and buy the stuff for the outfits, and then they change into them. Fuji and Eiji look uber cute. <333 Then they’re like sharing a strawberry or something (Heyyyyy, didn’t TsujiKago have a pic of that in a photobook once? I swear I’ve seen a pic somewhere. =/)…and Yuuta comes in, only to freak out and run away. (Hey, I’d run away too if I saw my older brother crossdressing and sharing a strawberry like that with another crossdressing guy. xD)
Then we see the others in Dekamoni outfits…Tezuka can’t seem to smile. xD I don’t really know what’s going on though. Wish I knew more Japanese. =/ Then…everything’s back to normal? Next to a panel of Oishi on page 34, there’s part of a line from a Minimoni song- “Minimoni. Telephone de~” (the rest of the line being “ring ring ring”, lolz). And then Yuuta gets one of the skirts. xD

Lolz. I need to find a translation/scanlation for this. I should ask on NF next time I go on.
I mean, there are a ton of doujinshi I want a translation for, but this is Minimoni. TRANSLATION NOW PLZ

EDIT: lolz, ahaha, immediately after posting this, I googled it, and one of the first results was a scanlation. xD I should look first, huh?
Enjoy.

EDIT again: rawr, ok, so now I can’t stop thinking of the regulars dancing to Minimoni. It’s quite scary. O_o
Lolz, I haven’t listened to Minimoni in a while (actually, I’ve listened to CRAZY ABOUT YOU recently, but none of their uber hyper first-gen songs), but I feel a weird urge to go through and listen to one of their albums…

EDIT once again!
So, now that I’ve read the scanlation, I can probably summarize it a bit better now. It’s Seigaku’s culture festival, the third-years’ last one at Seigaku. A vote was held, and it was decided that the 9 regulars on the tennis team would dress up as Minimoni and Dekamoni. Kaidou’s in charge of the costumes, and for Minimoni, he puts together exact replicas of the costumes from that picture I linked to above of their cartoon versions.
So the part with Fuji and Eiji is Fuji’s sister taking pictures of them in poses, and then she has them pose with the strawberry…and Yuuta walks in, runs away, and the “da-ne” guy (whatever his name is.) from the same school says that he’s lucky to have three sexy older sisters. xD
Oishi’s practicing his dances, Tezuka’s trying to smile, and Inui’s online figuring out how to look best in a mini-skirt. Then Fuji looking uber cute and some other stuff…then it’s over, and when Ryoma hears “Minimoni. Telephone! Ring Ring Ring” his body immediately reacts and starts dancing even on the back of Momo’s bike…xD Oh, and Fuji sends a skirt to Yuuta and wants to take pictures of them crossdressing together. xD

Here are some more pics from the scanlation:





I definitely want to buy this doujinshi. :D
