Apparently the thing I sold last week arrived in one piece and everything ended up without problem.

Future in

It doesn’t seem to be there will be anything for this week so there’s that. I finished wiping my drive and maybe will finally sell it later next week.

Afterwards I still have one desktop PC and two monitors to be sold.

And tapestries. And doujinshis. One day I’ll have a clean room. One day.

Out

Finally preordered Onigyu anime and FGC. I budgeted the first one except it wasn’t actually enough with shipping cost. Whoops. Oh well.

Even worse is the FGC wasn’t budgeted at all. That’s another 10k off for this month.

Those alone would’ve been fine if not for me updating my kitchen situation. My existing rice cooker proved to be too annoying (especially to clean after use due to it leaking muddy water like stupid) so I ended up getting a new one. And then following by buying some cookware because they’re like over 7 years old and probably slowly giving me cancer. Or maybe not but they look kinda disgusting anyway.

And that’s how I ended up with 10k below my target for this month. I’m still a few thousands above my hard limit for this month so hopefully I can get by this month without crossing that.

Future out

Oshilove fandisk has been announced to be released in July.

I think that’s all upcoming stuff that I haven’t budgeted yet… excluding the upcoming Comic1 tomorrow.

I didn’t pay attention to it and only learned it’s an actual offline event (nearby Big Sight) very recently. Not that I’m going to go there because that seems rather dangerous but I may end up buying some doujins from nearby Melonbooks?

On the unknown side, there’s D.C.4 P.H. coming up this August. I haven’t played any of the previous ones so it’s kinda difficult to justify but I’d get the Getchu one if I actually end up getting it. There’s also Tsukihime which illustration for the tapestries is still not up…

Investments

31.17% this week which is up a lot from last week. That’s nice although there was still a lot of down during the week. Well, such is stock market, I guess. Still not back from two weeks ago though.

Similarly for iDeCo, it’s at 27.36% (14.69% yield) is higher than last week but not completely recovered.

In

The two things I put up are sold for pretty nice sum which is weird because those are way beyond what I expected. I just hope the things arrive in one piece.

Future in

I mentioned two things last week but apparently I put up three. There’s the unused wireless router.

I don’t think I’ll put up anything new this/next week even though the unused monitors are really taking up space in my room…

I probably should at least get around wiping the last unused hard disk and cleaning up the unused desktop PC.

I did pull out some tapestries I may be selling but I don’t feel like checking them up etc to sell them yet. Maybe in two or three weeks.

Still no progress on selling doujinshis…

Out

Bought one voice drama from Whisp. It felt like a very long time last I bought anything from them. Their recent works have been misses for me.

Future out

Interestingly there’s still no announcement from Yuzu-Soft.

I probably should get around finally pre-ordering FGC and Onigyu Anime which I still haven’t.

Things have been pretty quiet especially after the Golden Week releases (which I bought nothing from so far although I probably should).

That does help though because I need to save quite a lot of money recovering from my recent purchases.

Investments

27.23% this week. That’s a lot of downs. It’s been downhill this week. I did buy some more funds though during the time. Hopefully it works out fine just like last year. I’m still quite far from my target for this year despite it’s past first third already.

As for iDeCo, it’s 26.72% (14.07% yield) which is also down quite a lot compared to last week.

Forgot again last week.

In

Still nope.

Future in

Finally gotten around to put up some unused hardware. Interestingly both of them are already bid on.

There are still one more hard disk, one PC, and two monitors to be sold. First two will be on auction but the last one will probably sold to Sofmap.

I don’t think I’ve ever sold anything to Sofmap before so this may be interesting? I don’t know how much they’ll be sold for.

…or maybe all auction if their online price is any indication. Packing them will be annoying though. I may even end up just disposing them if I can’t figure out how to pack them easily.

No plan on doujinshi and tapestries and dakimakuras yet. I’m not even going to pretend to try.

Out

I think I bought some manga and stuff. Nothing major because there’s just no budget left.

Although I just remembered I haven’t budgeted Fate/Grand Carnival.

Future out

See above about FGC. And then there’s Onigyu anime. Nothing else planned otherwise, I think.

Investments

32.6% last week. Down a bit on first day market was open. And then back up the second day. Not enough to recover the down from first day though.

Interestingly iDeCo is up a bit to 30.1% (lower yield though at 15.65%).

In

Nope.

Future in

Also nope? Or maybe I’ll finally get around selling some unused computer hardware sometime this week.

Out

I figured I should just preorder Fuyukuru for now and that’s what I did.

Meanwhile on computing side, I bought a new monitor to replace my starting-to-fail 8 years old monitor. It’s very much overpriced but I hope it’ll be a significant upgrade.

Combined, I sure have cleared my monthly budget pretty quick. Or I didn’t because I spread the accounting for those purchases over several months in the future similar to NAS upgrade I did a few months ago. The downside is of course available budget for next few months will be less.

Future out

Despite all those rather big spending, I still have a few more things I probably should preorder sometime soon. Namely Fate/Grand Carnival (FGC) and Onigyu Anime.

For FGC I may end up buying from Amazon because it’ll be cheaper there. Or somewhere else if I can find better deal. The tapestry from Tora no Ana seems pretty nice but I don’t think I need anime art tapestries. Or maybe I’ll change my mind once they publish the colored version of the bonus.

As for Onigyu Anime, on similar vein with FGC, I’ll probably buy from the cheapest store I can find… unless I change my mind and buy from Tora no Ana (again!) for that Sumi tapestry. That said, even though it’s better than the FGC one, I don’t think it’s better than my favorite tapestries I currently own and I really need to hold back on piling up tapestries.

I think I keep saying that every now and then still end up buying more tapestries anyway 👀

While writing this, I remembered about the Kakenuke console port release coming up this August. I’ll probably buy one from Animate. Or will I?

And lastly which I also just remembered, there’s that Tsukihime thing coming up (also August). I’m not going to play on console (as I don’t have any) but I’ll be keeping an eye on the bonus tapestries. It may be interesting.

Investments

32.67% last week. That’s a lot of up from previous week. I didn’t keep track of news etc so I’m not quite sure if there’s anything significant happened.

As for iDeCo, it’s 29.76% (16.29% yield). Slightly lower increase compared to general account due to composition difference.

I planned to buy some funds this month but stuff purchases I mentioned above kinda killed it whoops. Maybe next month.

By they way, as an aside, best performer fund for me so far is international stock fund which is way ahead of anything else.

On the far second place is Japanese stock fund. Quick estimate says it’s at 30% (vs 50% first place).

Third is international bond at less than 10%. Now I look closer, it’s quite a lot worse than I thought (or the Japanese stock is performing better).

On last position is Japanese bond which is at 1%… after 3 years. I shouldn’t have bothered at all. Even worse in my iDeCo account it’s still on negative. At least it’s the lowest percentage in my portfolio but it’s annoying regardless. I wonder if I should just drop it but Japanese government is probably at its worst (especially at handling the trainwreck that is Olympics and also the pandemic) at the moment and thus there’s potential for something interesting to happen. Hopefully sooner than later but it’s Japan so who knows.

I completely forgot about this because I’ve done loads of other posts earlier last week.

In

Sold one thing! Yay. Nine more things left now.

Future in

Ended up busy with random stuff again last weekend.

Out

Didn’t buy anything~

Future out

Fuyukuru is coming in September. Maybe from Trader. May or may not be getting more. I probably should read the previous ones as well though…

And that’s about it.

Investments

29.96% last week. That’s quite a bit down from previous week. Apparently it’s earning report season and people are holding back on trading. Similarly 27.73% (15.28% yield) for iDeCo – 1% down.

In

Nothing last week but I sold two things this week. The loss is pretty bad though at almost 70%. I kinda suspect it’d be better to just sell them to Suruga-Ya…

Future in

Too busy with other stuff this whole week so nothing here.

Out

Nothing major here. I did watch some movies and bought some doujins…

Future out

Onigyu anime. Not sure yet if I’ll bother getting one with bonus tapestry or just Amazon. The Tora no Ana one seems pretty good.

D.C.4 is getting eroge version. That’s nice though I still haven’t read any of the previous ones…

There’s still no news from Yuzu-Soft.

Investments

31.58% this week. A lot of small downs over the week and one rather large up on Friday. Somehow iDeCo went down a bit to 28.75% (15.79% yield). Or is it actually down or just because the new purchase was just in…

In

Still nothing.

Future in

Uh, I planned something this weekend but ended up cleaning up my room instead.

Maybe next weekend…

Out

This is very tempting but I think I’ll pass…

So, yeah, nothing this week. Good, I guess? With Air Comiket (or whatever they call it this time) coming up end of this month.

Future out

As mentioned above, Golden Week event is coming up. There’s at least this doujinshi and Eshi 100 book.

Talking about Eshi 100 book, this year will be the first time of me not attending it. Virus and all is pretty bad. I shouldn’t have last year either but I bought the ticket already and the scope hasn’t been quite as clear as now. Although considering current cases count, I wouldn’t be surprised if government call another emergency situation sooner or later.

Meanwhile on eroge, there’s still nothing interesting came up. That said, I completely forgot about Fuyukuru. I still haven’t played previous titles though so I’m not sure what to do about that. Maybe if I somehow manage to catch up before it’s released…

Investments

30.58% this week. A bit up. It was down for a few days but still at positive overall. iDeCo was also up. A bit higher at 29.17% (15.63% yield).

Smooth sailing so far. Hopefully nothing terrible happens… or maybe it’s fine up to a point. I can even stock up some more funds if that happens.

…or maybe I should just go ahead and buy some stuff already.

In

Nothing this week.

Future in

I haven’t done anything this weekend. Mainly because I’m busy finishing up the FGO tower event.

In addition to unused tapestries, I also need to clean up a bunch of PC stuff to sell. There’s one whole PC set I can sell now. It’s got some good stuff™ in it. It’s missing a good GPU though.

Out

There’s Otona no Moeoh released this week. Also I bought one of Conan ending single. Mainly to see what I get for the random acrylic figure.

Nothing else much otherwise.

Future out

Interestingly there’s nothing here as well.

Extra

This sure is a rather empty week. On eroge side, at least. On PC side I’ve been moving things around. I’ve even got a wireless adapter for my controller. Now I can have it always connected and not have the stupid cable dangling around. I’m only missing the rechargeable battery which is currently on the way.

Investments

29.88% this week. That’s a lot of ups. Now I think back, it seemed to close at mostly up the entire week. Similarly for iDeCo at 27.78% (14.95% yield).

I should probably start throwing some money again this month.

In

Nothing for last week but at least sold two things this week. For about 55% loss. Yay.

Future in

Still nothing here. Maybe sometime this week as together with sorting new tapestries.

Out

Bought a bunch of random stuff because I had some extra left… or so I thought until certain company started pre-order for two new pillow covers. Whoops.

Also bought Argonauts first and last titles of their Bishoujo Gakuen series.

Future out

I said Drapri 2 last week but looking again I’ve already skipped Love+Plus due to soft denchi crap so maybe I’ll just wait for its complete pack.

Which means there’s nothing here for a while. That said, Yuzusoft should be announcing their next work anytime soon now.

Investments

(forgot about this section lol)

25.57% this week which is a bit down compared to last week. It’s been constantly down this week except last day which was a bit up.

It’s even worse for iDeCo at 24.07% (13.78% yield) which is over two percent down.

In

Nothing new here but at least last week’s transactions were all completely without a hitch.

Future in

Still haven’t done anything for this.

Out

Nothing major here.

I did watch Conan’s Akai Family Recap Movie. By which I learned the cost went up by 100 yen. The movie itself is pretty interesting summary for me because I haven’t followed the series at all. Upcoming movie will involve that family so it’s a nice informative movie. A rather expensive one though.

Future out

Drapri 2 website is open. It’s scheduled for June so I guess that’s my sole upcoming eroge for now. The horns though… They would be way better without! Especially liked Sango (design-wise at least).

Investments

26.38% this week. It has been going relatively well until things dropped by quite a lot today.

27.20% (15.43% yield) for iDeCo which is up from last week by over 2%. Interesting it went up when my main account went down. It’s got slightly different portfolio which probably explains why.

In

Sold some more stuff this and last week. Three and two items each which is not a lot but I don’t have many item left anyway. Last week was at 30% loss and this week is 60%. Pretty terrible all right. Not that I expected much.

Not auction but I also finally sold my old phone to Iosys. The process was pretty simple and I got the minimum amount they guaranteed. Mainly due to missing accessories and some defects.

Future in

I probably should get around putting up more stuff for auction sometime. And I still haven’t done the Suruga-Ya thing.

Out

Rather unexpected dakimakura, Alice from Pieces. Dakimakura of loli character is pretty rare for Whirlpool. Apparently the last one was many years ago Melis from Lunaris Filia. Although in term of flats, the most recent one was Shizuku from Hatsujou Sprinkle. This is also their first title where all the heroines get dakimakura cover. Also I probably should get around playing the game.

Another thing bought recently was Kumako dakimakura cover and Taruto tapestry. And for some reason they already arrived.

And lastly, I ended up buying a gamepad. It’s an Xbox controller (the latest one). It worked pretty well for playing Senkou no Clarias. Although it didn’t help me that much clearing the heroines battle on higher difficulty. I’ve spent too much time on it.

Future out

Still nothing planned for near future.

Investments

26.40% this week. That’s a lot of percents. It’s been rather constantly going up this week. Not as much but iDeCo is at 25.06% (13.97%).

I need to save some emergency cash this month so I don’t think I’ll buy anything this month.

In

Sold quite a few stuff this week. Yay. All the transactions are (almost) done as well so that’s great. Overall I ended up at about 50% loss. It’s pretty bad but I’m mainly using this to dispose older stuff anyway.

Future in

I don’t think I’ll be doing much this week. I should get around putting up the two remaining hard disks sometime…

Out

Bought some books and doujinshis and voice drama. Nothing major there.

I also bought a new phone. That one costed a lot.

Future out

As guessed, one of the new stuff from A.M.R is Kumako dakimakura cover. There’s also a mystery item using illustration of Taruto. Her clothes have same motif as her previous ones but this one is the sexiest yet (apart of the ones for dakimakura of course). Pre-order should be up this Friday so that will be fun.

Nothing else for this month yet. I suppose I should pre-order Argonauts new title sometime later but haven’t gotten willpower to do so yet =P

There’s still nothing for future eroge pre-order. I hope I can use this period to clear up my backlog a bit.

Investments

22.90% this week. It’s still midweek but at least it’s up a bit from last week. The movement have been pretty drastic lately. Thankfully it’s both ways so I still end up with net positive.

iDeCo is slightly harder to track but it’s currently at 23.75% (13.31% yield) which is down a bit from last week.

Combined, I guess stock market in Japan hasn’t recovered as well as the other countries. I’m guessing that based on that I have way more Japanese stocks in iDeCo compared to other accounts.

In

Lowering the starting bid sure helped and I sold quite a bunch of tapestries last week. Mostly by a single person though. And the loss was pretty bad as well at 70%. I think I could’ve gotten more if I sold them to Suruga-Ya instead.

Future in

Surprisingly I managed to put up more tapestries this week. Some of them are already getting bids so that’s nice.

I still have a few more tapestries I can sell and maybe I’ll do it sooner than later this time.

Out

Bought a bunch of (e)books from Kadokawa sale. There are still a few more books left on my wishlist but I think I’ve bought most of the more expensive ones.

Meanwhile on PC side, I bought a new system for work dev server. Mainly the motherboard and CPU. It’s not really that expensive at 21k for both. I’ll split off my home server memory for it so both will have 16GiB of RAM. Not a lot but should sufficient for now. I’m also changing the storage setup due to the upgrade. It also involves getting more SSD so that’s what I did. The SSD costed me 7k.

Future out

There’s still no news on A.M.R new dakimakura. There’s still two more days for this month and she said it should be this month. It’ll most likely end up using next month budget though as I don’t have any left for this month.

On eroge, I currently only have Argonauts Sister Position titles on my list.

Smee’s Hajilove seemed rather interesting but I don’t quite like the design of half of the heroines.

There’s Cabbage Soft’s Amairo Chocolata 2 but I haven’t even bought the first one.

Unrelated but I kinda want to switch to Rakuten Mobile mainly for their roaming and voice mail service. It’ll require me buying a whole new handset though and recouping the cost will take about two years or so. Other concern is using iPhone on Rakuten Mobile isn’t quite well supported. The biggest concern is the network itself though. They’re still building their main network and I heard info that they’re ending network contract with au this year which means the coverage may get even worse.

Investments

21.35% this week down a bit from last week thanks to a bunch of sell off happening yesterday. It kinda sucks but it also means I should probably buy some more funds. I just hope it doesn’t go back up too much when my transaction is finalized.

iDeCo surprisingly didn’t move much at 24.10% (14.17% yield) probably thanks to it being slightly more diversified.

In

Nothing here although it looks like one stuff finally getting bid.

Future in

I adjusted starting bid for stuff as I mentioned last week. As mentioned above one stuff is getting bid but I sure hope this week ends up better than just that.

Maybe I’ll put up more tapestries next week.

Out

Bought some artbooks because Kadokawa is having some kind of sale (or just general price down?). Nothing much else.

Future out

Smee’s new title has been announced and one of the illustrators is K-Ko. That may be interesting…? Or not? It’s for June so still a few months away. I haven’t played the previous title and I’m not sure how that works.

On another K-Ko topic, Chata’s new title will be also illustrated by them. Now all that’s left is hoping that it’s got normal package release or at least non-DRM’d download version.

No information yet on A.M.R new goods. I thought she’ll be in next Ore no Yome and the dakimakura will be sold there first or something. Except it’s not. Maybe just the timing coincides.

Investments

23.18% this week. Up one percent from last week. It went up quite a lot early week but went down towards the end. Still overall up so it’s nice, I guess.

Similarly for iDeCo it’s currently at 24.11% (14.21% yield).
