Japan 2009 Doujin/Manga PhotoDump

[gem2niki]

My lj posting has been becoming less frequent. Somehow I feel like no one care. Anyways, I've been meaning to do this since it requires less memorizing about the whole trip hahaa...

First off: Plug Neko!

We went to the cat cafe again in Ikebukuro and I manage to take this really cute picture of this lion-fur trimmed cat. So cuute!!!!

Now onto the doujin/manga/artbook photo dump! I think I went overload this year. They were sooo ridiculously heavy to carry around. Thank goodness for 4-wheel luggages! Also I bought too many compiled doujin XD;;






First off, my main goal in Tokyo was to buy all the Eyeshield manga! And there you have it. We went to almost all the Book Off we could find at each train stop so they were under 150-250 yen XD Zero Sum has a lot of pretty manga that I ended up buying as well... Thank goodness for Book Off!


Lots of heavy artbooks. At this Libro Bookstore, I ended up buying most of the artbook I saw at Anime Expo. Also Pako = <3 And there were some cheap artbook at Book Off! Also went for the older anime series I used to enjoy like Samurai Trooper and HxH.


The stacks by series and misc series. Gintama doujin is taller because I bought those compiled doujin.


Ace Attorney doujins!! My fav ds game of all time! hahaa.. (and only ds game I played).


Digimon---er Taikou doujinshi! I ended up buying all of them at one table haha. The artist was hyper cute and tried to speak some English to me haha.


Natsume Yuujinchou!! I basically went for pretty art.


Mostly went for the circles I wanted. Ekimae's Kenkuro anthology~! Area 27, Wrong Direction (I want more!!), and of course, Banyu! Didn't even bother looking thru all the Reborn section thoroughly.


Hetalia, America/England. Got one for one of my coworker. Quite a lot of Hetalia doujinshika has some lovely styles.


Eyeshield 21! My obsession before leaving to Japan. The sections are so small in mandarake!!!!!!!


Me and Yasmin went crazy over TTGL doujin haha. And ended up looking for the same circle XD Mostly went for Kamina/Yoko...but look how that turned out haha...


Rolo/Nunally!!! The first I've seen hahaa.. Not really into the other pairings in Code Geass. I didn't find a well drawn Gino/Kallen doujin ): Also R18 uke or seme!Rolo is too much for me T_T;;;


Miscellaneous. Added the 3.vol of 長神 Oofuri doujin to my collection. Also Mutsuki's SK dj!! I have her Ouran dj and loved her style!! MacrossF was hentai lol. LaviLena, Soul/Maka, and Zetsubou Sensei were specific circle I was looking for.


Got my sis some FFVII doujins. Not much general ones... I don't think sis likes Uke!Cloud. And well, we both hate Sephiroth.


Gintama! During my gintama doujin search, I found Hijikata/Okita to be an appealing pairing and thus became a fan. Unfortunately, its surprisingly quite hard to find at used doujin stores.


And I ended up not likely Gin-san and Hijikata pairing as much...but the art is pretty hahaa. So randomly grabbed whatever was pretty.


And honestly didn't find Okita/Kagura anymore appealing. LOL. Pairing comes to me instinctively haha.


And thick compilation doujins.


Really thick! I'm amazed how they manage to produce that much @_@;;



Okay that's the end of the doujin dump. I'll post figure photos next! haha... so much gintama...

It should be out on DVD soon, maybe in 6 months or so? (Making a guess here)

[gem2niki.livejournal.com]

It was a pain to carry to the airport because we missed our express train and had to run around transferring stations. T__T

[lucathia]

So much. I wish I bought at least one Natsume doujinshi. =P

[kkarth.livejournal.com]

:o Did you have to buy a new bookshelf to hold all of that? Absolutely amazing. So much pretty artwork, so much potential drooling inspiration.

[vejiicakes.livejournal.com]

That is a metric- okay, that's like a NEIGHBORHOOD SPRAWL of doujinshi! I'm so proud of you T__T

[milk-of-lime.livejournal.com]

YES the eyeshield section was way too too small /cries. There's was a much larger section at Animate. Although it was full of Shin/Sakuraba..... orz.
Nice doujin pile!! They all look so nice *p*

[gem2niki.livejournal.com]

I didn't really care the Oujou-centric doujin, but yeah, there were a lot of those. ): So hard to find Juumonji-centric ones T_T;;

[mmmketchup.livejournal.com]

[xinester.livejournal.com]

[midori-kou.livejournal.com]

Oh BEEJEZUS!!! You definitely got a motherload of doujins there! And with beautiful artwork too! *drool*

And I do read every LJ post that you make. Just sometimes, I don't have something witty to say. But when I do comment, I put a lot of thought in it. See? Me care! I'm posting. =P
