The sign “Chuo Line (Limited Express)” points straight. The sign “Chuo Line (Rapid)” points right. Looking around, not a route map to be seen… I am at Shinjuku station, the busiest train station in the world and I am on my way to search for the fabled Nakano Broadway, a secret gathering of shops selling [...]
Wandered around East Ikebukuro in the morning and Shinjuku in the afternoon today. Finally got to visit the Kinokuniya main branch. Although our hotel is located in Ikebukuro, it is on the opposite side of the train station from the major concentration of anime-related shops, so we didn’t take the time to visit there until [...]
Looks like I spoke too soon about not having the time to pick up my Kinokuniya order. Yet another new girl in the latest volume of Rosario + Vampire. Damn, is the mangaka going to do this for every book or something? D: The cliffhanger from last volume ends so fast that it barely hits [...]
I finally bought the first volume of NHK ni Youkoso!. Man, it costs ￥560, which is ￥170 more expensive than those standard Kadokawa shounen stuff. To this day, I have yet to figure out how this pricing system works. But anyway, ￥170 makes it S$4.40 more expensive (after going through Kinokuniya’s markup, another pricing system [...]
Ichigo Mashimaro makes me feel so guilty. But anyway, I started watching the anime and it’s better than I thought. The seiyuu were all very good, although I think there are more suitable candidates for Nobue and Ana, which is not to say that I don’t like Hitomi Nabatame and Mamiko Noto (Yakumo FTW!). Also, [...]
Unknowingly, I have fallen to the dark side. I bought Ichigo Mashimaro Vol.1 today out of boredom. And it’s good. Too damn sugary good. The cuteness! It hurts my teeth! Azumanga Daioh has nothing on Ichigo‘s sugar level. 甘すぎ～ The story uhhh… book (at least the first volume) is about Nobue Itoh, a 16-year-old chain-smoking [...]
I dropped by Kinokuniya to pick up this order today. This is the second, and also the concluding, volume of Kannadzuki no Miko, with 100% more yuri than the anime its based on. The second part of the story has been drastically altered, perhaps even more than the first volume. Chikane’s motivation is shown more [...]
