And I haven’t even started on pieces yet which apparently related to this series as well. It will take a while until I finally read this…

Bought from all the stores which have voice drama DLC.

For some reason I didn’t get the shikishi from the two physical stores. Either that or I got them but forgot where I stored them. That said the shikishi was printed in interesting way – the paper is way smoother than the usual paper used for shikishi. The closest thing I can think of is sticker paper.

Oh well, not like it’s got that much additional value anyway. Also it’s easier to sell just the game package especially as the box is small enough it fits the cheaper shipping method.

Another late post, this one is from November. The expansion pack (?) for Senkou no Clarias. It’s a pretty expensive one all things considered.

A good chunk of the cost went to that acrylic block thing, I bet.

And then there’s the bonus shikishi. I think this is the only R-18 shikishi so far?

Compared to the original, the cover for this one is quite plain especially with that white background.

Happy new year and here’s the first (scheduled) post for this year.

Now I think about it, I should’ve posted this one before that soundtrack CD.

Oh well. It’s the Specialite edition just because. And then there’s the bonus CD from Sofmap and Getchu and Official Store. I think the Official Store one is made redundant by the soundtrack CD but I haven’t checked it (and can’t check since I’m currently migrating data and they’re inaccessible until it’s done). Yep it’s redundant. Good job me.

The content. Also has another drama CD.

And lastly the bonus shikishi. I don’t know why there’s a Natsukuru shikishi in it but sure, fine. Better than balloons of Akikuru at least.

Another weird thing is the Fuyukuru shikishi themselves are B5 sized instead of usual shikishi size.

Here’s how I drowned myself deeper in my backlogs. Five (four if excluding one already in my backlog) new titles. All in one convenient package, complete with soundtracks.

Each are in their own case with booklet on one side and the discs on the other.

Unfortunately two of the cases have their booklet holder slightly teared up. I’m not bothering getting them replaced since I don’t really care that much about the packaging. Although I’ll end up keeping the box just because they’re convenient.

And lastly the bundled calendar from official store. Upon a quick glance it’s clear the images are original cover then the newly drawn image for each titles. But being penta means five means only 10 images available is what I thought. Then I realized they cheated Tenshin Ranman by including both original and the non-ero edition images of it.

At double height A4, it’s pretty large. It sure would be nice if they also label the public holidays instead of just marking them red.

As it turned out I’ve never bought the game at all. And now I have. The bottom right one isn’t a game box but just a booklet.

Bought them for rather cheap from Suruga-Ya.

That’s a nice choice for manual cover.

Full title is Hokenshitsu no Sensei to Shabondama Chuudoku no Joshu which is a bit too long.

Another thing added to the backlog. At least this one should be pretty short being single route and all. And then another route coming up next year.

I try reading this before the second route is released 👀

The large box contains a tall slim DVD case which contains one disc and manual booklet. The inside background is covered but it’s the dakimakura cover image bundled in different version of this which I’m not getting (and is pretty expensive at the moment). Not that I’m planning to get it anyway.

I’m supposed to post this two months ago :D

But yeah, the thing which I haven’t even read the original series yet. I got from Melonbooks for that Romi acrylic stand thing.

The box is uselessly big.

Without that tapestry inside, it’s even more uselessly big.

I haven’t ironed that tapestry yet. It’s just thin material though so that’s mildly annoying.

The only title I bought this month. Looking again, it sure is huge o_o

Bought from Amazon because cheap. So cheap they sent it using normal mail just padded envelope. Thankfully the shikishi arrived in one piece.

The first one hasn’t even arrived for me so it’ll be a long while until I finally play this…

The other eroge I bought this month. Also from Getchu. The box is very hollow and only contains a thin manual leaflet and the game disc.

Also the actually game CGs are only 1920×1080 (or x1440) despite the product page saying “supports 4k”. It does show 4k resolution option but then everything is upscaled, which is just like what every other games are. I don’t have original the game anyway and 1080p is good enough upgrade for me but some people did complain about it.

That said, they cropped the CG from 4:3 to fit 16:9. Extending the sides would’ve been better but I guess they’re not going to do that. Given the full price they demanded, they should’ve done that…

Oh and even the 1080p CGs seem rather upscaled. It’s just on par for a sprite milking release, I suppose =/

This month’s eroge (1/2). Not exactly new and this is even my second copy. One of these days I’ll get around actually reading them…

A book, the main game, Tsui no sora (remake and original), and some soundtrack and vocal CDs.

Not sure what to do with the bonus tapestries (Getchu). I’ll probably just sell them.
