Terrible long weekend thanks to one certain announcement, summer event news here and there, more tapestries, a few new stuff, actually finishing a route (although just sub-route), and not wasting (too much) money for once.
Links
- Soikano H-anime. Apparently it’s a thing.
- Tora no ana C94 goods. Nothing particularly interesting but I think this is the first time I see full pamphlet of it.
- I’l 2018 Summer tapestries. Only small thumbnail for now but should be updated in one or two weeks? Probably getting Takano Yuki (linked) and Shiromochi Sakura.
- Azur Lane C94 Unicorn pillow cover. That’s pretty interesting for an official goods.
- Melonbooks C94 preview, Tomose Shunsaku. And another one for Tatekawa Mako. Landing page.
- Melonbooks UnderWear2 Natsume Eri preview. Also a bunch of other goods. I’ll probably only get the book. And maybe tapestries if they ever come up (most likely a bit later).
- Tinkle Position Denkigai 2018 Summer. Onigyu T-shirts.
- Eroge song collections 2003-2017. Not sure what’s inside but I think I know some of them. The tapestry looks kind of interesting as well.
- Hulotte new title. Yay. Except it’ll have online DRM thing. Nay. Please don’t. See below for a bit more.
- Kadokawa C94. If only it’s not that expensive. Or have not-shit quality. Or both.
- Cuffs 2018 Summer Goods. Somehow no announcement for Hulotte. I hope it’s a good sign. Probably getting Natsu no ame pillow cover, Kurafuta tapestry, and not sure about any others. Gayarou pillow cover looks rather interesting but it’s so unconventional.

New stuff
Not the latest Otome Domain Radio Maiden. Maybe when I need to waste another T-point again.
Finally arrived Hanamizuki 2015 pillow cover by Ikegami Akane from Stylus. This completes my Hanamakura Ikegami Akane series.
This is actually the first outstanding pillow cover I found in one of my first Denkigai. I liked it at the time as well but not quite enough yet. It’s only a bit later I grew up liking her work more to the point she’s my #1 favorite illustrator at the moment. Although unfortunately, well, see below.
One of the latest tapestries from Urahime series. Illustrated by Paper. Their style has changed quite a bit since Himekuri. Also it’s yuri-ish. Which is why I bought it in the first place. Maybe will keep? Quite a bit rough overall though.
Usual relatively good print quality on double suede material.
Eroge playthrough
Finished Suu route. Uh, yeah. I found out the route is immediately accessible. They seem to skimp quite a bit on this route. To be fair they did cover the most important part but the accompanying stories are barely covered.
Up next is Kohane as initially planned.
Non-eroge stuff
As usual. Really need to start catching up anime again.
Daily life
For once I got net profit from YJA. Only about 2k but still pretty nice change from usual loss. Mainly thanks to 9-kokoiro and Yukie tapestry. No thanks to Rorolog medio tapestry ;_;
I don’t think I’ll put up anything this week though.
Barely spent money on anything last week.
Quite a few spending coming up next (or following) week though. The unknown Kinkoi pillow cover, Cuffs goods, and then K-Books tapestries.
Of course there’s also next month events but I think it’ll be fine. My balance looks pretty good at the moment.
Hulotte latest title
So they announced this last Friday. It seemed good. Then I noticed it’s got online DRM thing. What.
No.
Please don’t.
They somehow thought having it is a good idea. I don’t know if it is but from what I observe it doesn’t seem to be. Just look at the angry mob from NanaWind’s Haru Oto Alice Gram with their last-moment surprise. Followed by they not having such crap for the fandisk.
Sure wish they spend the money on something that’s actually useful instead of supporting the snake-oil market. Because it doesn’t work. Unless it’s something online (MMO) or require constant patching (operating system), I don’t see how online DRM is going to be useful for this type of thing.
It got to my mind enough I didn’t quite sleep well the day it announced which prompted me to send incomprehensible email to them.
At worst I’ll skip their title this time around. I’ll be back if they figure it’s not that good of idea and remove it but otherwise RIP Hulotte for me ( ;_;)ゞ
(and maybe Cube et al as well? That’d kind of suck)
On the brighter side, I do see a few more people expressing similar concern so I guess I’m not alone in this thing. That and they haven’t announced anything for summer goods even though Cuffs did already. I hope enough people complained that they’re in panic mode or something and they don’t have time to handle summer goods yet.
Good job guys, on destroying my long weekend ( ‘_’)p
Closing words
Sleep time. It’s almost 06:00 here.
