Pardon the terrible creases because I didn’t feel like taking out my ironing setup at the time.
But anyway it’s from Amiami, sized B2, with thin material. Actually this is the only thin material tapestry for this title. Amazing. Print quality itself is relatively fine. Probably as good as print quality on thin material goes.
That’s an interesting… pose… thingy. I actually just got another one with similar composition few months ago. This one is way nicer though (smaller).
The game itself and various extras. Sofmap box is big as usual.
And I’m not even sure what the hell with that large circle acrylic key holder. “Yurayura acrylic charm” according to the listing page. I guess that’s a thing.
Special soundtrack is as usual will be rendered pointless once the full soundtrack is released.
Phone stand could be useful if I actually have space on my table.
Shikishi is missing one for Nagiko because I don’t want to buy from official store just for that. That said I don’t even have much use for shikishis to begin with.
The target is to actually play this sometime this month…
Sold some Kakenuke stuff. That was nice. Looking at the numbers it sure does look like I should’ve just bought them off auction or someting. Although it probably helps the company a bit buying from store (then selling the games) as opposed to buying from auction? I don’t know.
Also sold one other item. Overall it was a rather good week especially compared to the last few weeks.
Future in
That said, I’m still a bit too lazy to put up more stuff so it’ll be done later. Or maybe sooner as I’m reaching my “cleanup threshold” pretty soon with all these random craps filling up my room.
Out
I bought nothing. Yay. There’s just nothing interesting. And I’m not looking for any specific old item anyway.
Except maybe a copy of Fsn+Fha pack but it’s still pretty expensive.
Future out
New month! Yay clean budget. Or not as I pre-filled this month with stuff I will potentially buy in the future.
Those budget still hasn’t included Clarias. I still don’t know if I should. Backlog-wise it’s easy though – I just shouldn’t. My backlog is so long it’ll probably take years before I can clear them.
Not that I worry too much about them anymore though! I stopped considering them as obligation and more of available choices in case I finished my current one. I don’t know how far I’ll go but I’ll just do it slowly and play whatever I want. Although maybe number of tapestries/dakimakuras will still be taken into consideration.
This month otherwise will see quite a few eroge releases with major one being Kagitori finally being released. They sure took their time. Otherwise I’m also getting Sakulet and Tsuki no shoujo. It’s been a while last I bought three different titles in a month.
There’s nothing last week but I sold two items this week. Yay.
Future in
I managed to put up some more tapestries so that’s nice. I still haven’t done anything about Suruga-Ya stuff though. I think I’ve been talking about this for months now. Oh well. I’ll come around finally doing it… eventually.
Out
Eroge week and I bought some Kakenukes. Those are either pre-ordered a long time ago or pre-budgeted so there’s no impact in budget.
I did buy a new tapestry and some other stuff so in the end I’m closing this month with barely a bit over the saving target.
Future out
So I thought I’ve pre-budgeted upcoming eroge purchases but turned out I haven’t I’m still missing one budget for next month and another one for December. Although those shouldn’t be too bad at just one each. I’m not even sure if I’m going to get the December one (Clarias).
I also just remembered there are the guaranteed upcoming Kakenuke dakimakura and sound tracks. I’ll try allocating some budget for them next month.
At least I did put up my unused PC although no one bid on it last week so that’s annoying. I really should put up more stuff…
Out
Pre-ordered Sakuret soundtrack and also Whirlpool 5th album. Pre-ordered FGO related tapestries as well. Specifically Mash tapestry and Double Okita tapestry.
And of course bought a bunch of stuff last weekend at Popfes and surrounding area.
Also bought ke-ta digital artbooks. Thank god they’re selling it at DLsite and Booth without any stupid DRM. I sure wish fewer people sell stuff at Melonbooks or Tora no ana or other places which usually have DRM.
Future out
Surprisingly there aren’t many things remaining on my spending plan. Maybe I’ll finally buy some backlogged digital books. Or manga. Or something.
The 10th anniversary book contains some interviews and small review of previous series. Unlike the other book, this one is only in Japanese.
The main artbook is usual deal. Although they botched up printing Shiromochi Sakura illustration and ended up slipping in separate page for that. That’s a bit annoying.
Going out during this period isn’t good idea but some things just must be done (not really).
Anyway, the day started with Popfes. As the entry ticket was numbered, the fate is more or less predetermined. At least they have allocated goods for each entry period but that didn’t help me getting a T-shirt for a friend. I did get my soundtrack though so all is good.
I also ended up buying Kinkoi T-shirt. I’ve been considering it for a while and figured out why not.
On my way out from the event area, I noticed there’s Tora no ana event right next to it.
There’s Aquaplus corner, HOTLIMIT/GOT corner, Tony Taka corner, some doujins, Eshi100 goods, and others.
I didn’t buy anything but at least got to see what kind of censor some of the tapestries have. And it looks like for HOTLIMIT, it’s not whiteout but just some blurs. Better but censor is bad.
Similarly for Cute Tail tapestries. At least from what I can tell from the label photo. Could be different but I’m not risking it.
Eshi100 was next and it’s Eshi100. I don’t think there’s any change (apart of the illustrations themselves of course) over the last few years. If anything, one can’t go back to gallery area after purchasing stuff. Thanks, covid.
As I was heading for Sofmap to check on Sagaplanets stuff, there’s a random Type-Moon’s Fate/Extra booth.
There’s car on display as well as some figures. And announcement of Illya Prisma Racing figure.
Onward to Sofmap! There I found they’re displaying bonus tapestries without any coverings. That was nice. Can’t wait to get my hand on them.
I also found the mug cup which I’ve kind of planned to buy and then I went to Yuzusoft Shop.
I don’t actually remember where it is apart of the building says “May Peace Prevail On Earth”. Except it’s tiny so I regularly miss it. I didn’t actually want anything so it’s mostly just to see if there’s something I missed (and nope).
And that’s about it on my little trip yesterday. Oh, and it was closed by watching FSN HF3 thanks to good timing and empty seat.
Lastly, I noticed this time’s Popfes specifically says “summer” so there might be another one this year in winter.
And then there are a lot of tapestries up for pre-order.
Cute Tail series tapestries. It’s part of release of illustration book. They then go on and release tapestries of them as well. It looks like the genital parts are censored which is unfortunate (as seen above).
Takano Yuki above is the most interesting one but censored.
HOTLIMIT2020 tapestries (and others). The title says GOT x Tora no ana but they’re selling stuff on Melonbooks as well. Weird. Also seems to be censored in worse fashion compared to Cute Tail above. Or maybe just the sample?
I like the Henreader one most but censor =[
Melonbooks 2020-08 tapestries. These aren’t usually censored. Comes in multiple sizes. Some are still using suede – the thin material – though.
Yukie’s one seems the best one for me but hmmmm. Also kinda big. And I have no space and really shouldn’t be buying random tapestries.
Some interesting ones like from Piyodera Mucha, Kimishima Ao, Mikagami Mamizu, Suimya, and maybe others. Still not enough to entice me buying though. Especially for Kimishima Ao, I will be getting a tapestry for Einstein anyway. Worse background but cuter character.
Melonbooks Girls Collection Revival tapestries. Those are recycled. The various sizes and reversibles are new though. And it’s a mystery why some of them don’t have sample image up yet.
Old stuff is old. Still pass.
There are so many tapestries especially from Melonbooks. There are even more from Melonbooks – be it direct by themselves or as doujin goods.
I could’ve ended up buying quite a lot of them had I’m not currently overloaded.
I think I should put up a PC but I haven’t yet. Maybe this weekend or something.
Out
Bought Mash tapestry and also Double Okita. The Double Okita one uses “matte suede” (?) which I don’t remember seeing before. It would be nice if it’s usual double suede just with fancier name.
Future out
A bit later today is Popfes so it’ll be about 10k for the 9-nine soundtracks.
Afterwards I’ll be going to Eshi 100 and maybe buy the book as usual. And the 10 years celebration book? I don’t think I’ll be getting any goods here.
As for overall budget etc, it looks like I have about 30k budget available for random stuff. Nothing else is coming up so far so maybe it’ll end just like that (ha ha).
I’ll probably finally put up my old PC for sale sometime this week. As for Suruga-ya, um, maybe next month. Kind of rushing for Kinkoi at the moment.
Out
Bought some doujins and CDs and some random stuff. Nothing much.
Future out
Next week is Pop Fes and I’m getting that 9-nine OST. It’s pretty expensive.
There’s also Whirlpool song collection. I don’t usually get them as they usually provide songs together with the game but I noticed I’m missing some Nekonin songs so maybe I’ll get this one? The shipping is a bit costly at 1100yen.
Oh, right, I almost forgot but there will be a new Apollo dakimakura coming up next month. Not sure what the occasion will be (probably Oreyome) but more Apollo is welcome.
Got some extra budget this month so I bought some doujin voice drama and other stuff in my list. I can even squeeze in some planned spending budget for next month to this month.
Future out
I ended up pre-ordering Tsuki no shoujo. Yay. Also Sakuretto. Both Sofmap although the former doesn’t include any bonus.
The usual shop has announced their lineup and it looks like I’ll be spending quite a bit less than I set aside although they then started pre-order for a rather unrelated thing which will eat up the extra budget. Oh well.
There’s nothing much else apart of that. Maybe Sora no shoujo as I pre-ordered the second part, Oshilove OST, Drapri, and Clarias? Some of them will probably be next month.
This week’s report is in previous post so there’s nothing new here.
Future in
I managed to put up some stuff for auction. Mainly when swapping them out from wall. I’ll find out if they worth anything.
Out
Didn’t spend much at all this week.
Future out
The certain 2020 Summer store coming up soon it’ll probably the last spending for this month. I’ll be placing some pre-orders as well but those don’t really “cost” money. I’ll probably get Sakura no kumo after all.
As for Clarias, I still don’t know.
August is coming soon and while there won’t be Comiket, there are still Eshi 100 and Pop Fes (which I did get the ticket). I’ll probably get the Eshi 100 book as usual and as for Pop Fes there isn’t much interesting shown up so far. Hopefully Palette will release some OST or drama CD. That assumes the events aren’t being cancelled thanks to increasing infected people in Tokyo though.
I probably shouldn’t have bothered with those events to begin with.
After the weird countdown about an update (why), the website has been updated.
Planned for December release and pre-order starts today. Store bonus images are also mostly up although there are still some 企画中 items remaining.
If I’m going to buy it, I’ll probably get from Tora no ana for that Camus tapestry above.
The gameplay intro is still missing though. Which reminded me this will be my first Giga gameplay game as I’ve never played Baldr series before. And also my first Suzuhira Hiro game.
I coincidentally visited the site two minutes before it’s updated and after reloading right on time, they missed the update by few minutes and I was greeted by this instead:
Sold four items last week and another one this week. I think it’s around 50% loss. At this point it’s better than nothing.
Future in
Still nothing. I should get around putting up my unused server sometime soon. And then maybe some tapestries. Or Suruga-ya stuff. Not quite sure yet. Maybe I’ll finally get around next month or something. I kind of want to focus on reading eroge a bit more. The backlog is killing me.
Out
I completely forgot about pre-ordering Oregairu kan BDs so that I did this week. That blew my budget this month so I allowed myself to mark it as installment payment for booking purpose. This means the available budget for next few months will be reduced by few thousands. I don’t usually do this. In fact, most of the times I do this is usually for buying BDs like this time. Considering I’ve been buying previous seasons’ discs, I should’ve prepared this when it’s announced.
Thankfully it’s the only big purchase so far.
Future out
And there’s nothing else I foresee coming this month. There will probably be Cuffs stuff but I’ve set aside budget for those. I hope it’s enough.
As for next month, there will be Popfes and Eshi100. Popfes isn’t new but the lack of Comiket and having Eshi100 in August are.
I finally finished reading all the routes and stuff. I started August last year so overall it took me almost a year to finish. I finished several other titles in between though. Strictly counting, I think it took me about a bit over 5 months total.
I’ll probably put up some more tapestries and dakimakuras first before finally Suruga-ya. I’ve started sorting stuff… slowly.
Out
Bought some doujinshis and audio dramas. I thought it wasn’t that many but it amounted to a bit over 8k.
Nothing much else and still relatively on track with initial plan.
Future out
Popfes has been announced but it’s still pretty far away. Nothing else so far.
I haven’t placed pre-order for Sofmap as there’s only two planned at the moment but I need one more for extra Sofmap points. The two titles I’m already planning to get are still two-three months away anyway.
Oh and I don’t think I’ll get more Kakenuke in the end. Maybe.
At current rate this month should be fine with keeping up my savings target.
Sold quite a few stuff with about 30% loss. Not too good but the total value is pretty high which I haven’t seen in a while.
Future in
Maybe one day I’ll finally get around packing all those unused doujins.
Out
As I figured my spending for this month should be pretty low, I went ahead and bought a shredder.
Also upgraded my PC case order because the previous one is taking a bit too long. So I was looking to reuse my unused server board and CPU after upgrading my home server to Ryzen. The idea is to buy some cheap PSU and case, slap the old hardware in it, and retire (sell) my current work dev server. It’s only a minor upgrade (from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge) but it’ll allow better upgrade path with standard PC parts instead of current proprietary parts.
Future out
I’m starting to consider getting some Kakenuke bonuses, specifically Nagiko… I think I’ve mentioned it before but I’ve always kinda liked her design. I probably still won’t go buying from official store. Maybe just Melonbooks and Tora. Maybe. I’ll decide sometime later this month.
On deciding later, there’s still no news on Senkou no clarias so that kinda sucks. I still haven’t pre-ordered Sakura no kumo either.
Other coming up spending would be some (H) voice drama and (H) manga. There are some good stuff in my wishlist and I should probably use this low spending month to clear them. Inb4 it become usual high spending month.
Now I think about it, I should just budget those retail pre-order this month so I won’t eat up the budget in actual release month.
Um, I think I sold one item for less than 2k. And then nothing else.
Future in
Maybe I should do the Suruga-ya thing I’ve been talking about forever =)
Out
Didn’t spend too much this week apart of the essentials.
Future out
This month is almost ending. I don’t think there are much else either.
On eroge, I think I’m done with Kakenuke pre-orders apart of Sofmap. There’s no voice drama this time so no extra orders. Apart of that, there aren’t many else apart of Torikago full payment on release day in August, pre-order for Sakura no kumo at Sofmap (maybe?), and pre-order for Senkou no clarias (maybe?).
There’s new Asa-pro title but I don’t think I’ll pre-order it. Maybe if I ever clear up my backlog.
I almost forgot but I’ll probably get Whirlpool’s Drapri. But that’s low-priced game so it doesn’t really impact budgeting much.
Retail store pre-orders don’t really count as direct spending so unless I pre-order Clarias from online store, it looks like I don’t need any budget for eroge until August.
As for other goods, Yuzu-Soft have started pre-order for dakimakura of Natsume. She’s my favorite heroine for Cafe Stella but I’m not sure about the facial expression on the back side. I’ll probably skip it.
Apart of that, there’s nothing else on my list. If my records from previous years to be trusted, there won’t be much coming either next month. Maybe some Cuffs summer goods but that’ll be it.
On electronic widgets, I don’t think I need particularly anything for my PC at the moment. But I’ll probably buy a shredder next month if there’s nothing else to waste money on. It’s rather big but it sure would be nice to be able to dispose papers with personal information without too much effort.
There’s also another lie that I ended up buying Invisible because Kohaku is just too damn cute and lewd and I finished the title in record time although the ending is a bit unsatisfactory because they hand-waved too many things and ended up rather confusing. The “harem” route is literally just fanservice with conflicting story unlike Yomeyaba’s extra infodump in the harem route. It’s also missing proper sub-heroines routes and ended up just part of the harem “route”. Oh well. At least Kohaku was cute.
Anyway, here’s the shikishi for Yomeyaba (which is now almost 5 years old) which is a DMM store bonus. It’s actual signature which is unusual as it’s commonly just printed.
It’s smaller sized which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the official site. I was expecting normal sized shikishi and missed the mention in Suruga-ya listing page where I bought this from for almost 3k. It’s probably my most expensive shikishi.
But hey, it’s Kirino. My second/third favorite heroine in the game (about the same as Mihono) and of course below Nanaka.
Talking about Kirino, I just learned today that the soshage Yomeyaba collaborated with during release day has been shutdown last April. And that’s why I don’t like soshage. I did a bit more digging on this collab and apparently people were upset their heroine had sex with another guy. Understandable though I didn’t think too much at the time. I also didn’t play the game and only did enough to rip the CGs. Looking back I should’ve tried saving the sound as well and perhaps even record some videos.
