Uhhh… that’s one tall photo.
Oh well.
That’s a drink. Illustration by Coffee-Kizoku.
I used to collect this until I ran out of space and had to throw them all away ;_;

9-nazotoki nazomeku nazonomachi
I’ve been playing some puzzles here and there during my whole life but this is probably the first one I actually paid good 3000 yen just to participate. And that it involves walking around Akiba. And in winter. And in Japanese.
So there are three parts, the first one was pretty straightforward, the second one was pretty confusing for me though now looking again it’s… pretty confusing. Someone smart should be able to solve it without hints but I needed a lot for the second part. All of them, in fact. The third one is even worse for me as I was dead frozen at the time. At least I cleared the one last part without relying on hint.
Also not much an excuse but my phone battery was dead for second half and it’s done mostly outside I probably should’ve went in to the cafe and solve it slowly inside or something. But still, the phone situation was pretty bad. Even worse I needed to listen to something. And I don’t usually carry earphones around.
It wasn’t even planned. I just toyed with the idea playing but never really intended to – hence no extra preparation.
But hey, at least I cleared it.
Timeline:
- 15:00: start
- 15:40: first part done
- 17:00: second part done
- 17:20: third part done
9-nine 2020 Calendar
It’s a thing. It’s about half-SD half-full illustrations. Pretty good, I’d say. The size is fine. It seems pretty solid as well. The only problem is I don’t actually have space on my desk for a calendar. Whoops.
Digest vol. 237: Citrus
I didn’t know Yuzu’s scientific name is Citrus Junos. And Junos is Yuzu Soft’s company name.

Eroge playthrough
And now on to Cafe Stella…
The time limit is until around March as I want to finish 9-Haruiro before 9-Yukiiro is released.
Non-eroge stuff
As Psycho-Pass ended and FGO didn’t air last week, there isn’t much here.
Daily life
Ideabase C97
That Takano Yuki tapestry seems rather interesting but at 7k it’s a bit expensive. Not to mention the bag is unusable in public. There’s no info on blanket size though if their previous blanket is any indication it’s a bit too small as well.
Probably will skip โ( ๏ฝฅ_๏ฝฅ)โ
Mamiya’s Moeri route completed
That took a long while. Three weeks long.
Continue readingWeekly Finance vol. 9
Auction
Surprisingly sold some stuff with only 15% loss. That was nice. I considered taking two weeks off but I figured might as well keep going so I’ll be begrudgingly going outside instead of staying home all day.
Pre-orders
I thought 9-yukiiro pre-order starts last Friday but it’s this Friday. So, yay.
Nothing else new announced recently as far as I remember so last week’s plan is still a thing.
Budgeting
As mentioned in last week’s digest, I toyed around with idea of getting a new Ryzen system. And that happened. So I blew the extra budget I had.
The end result shouldn’t be too much different compared to last year but I spent way more on new apartment rent last year so it’s not quite the same comparison. I also had way more stuff to be sold. And next year would be even worse so I need to adjust accordingly.
That said I still need to sell quite a bit more stuff remaining and maybe trim even further to get my tapestries collection to some sensible amount instead of way over 200 at the moment.
Oh and of course to trim my doujinshi collection though that one is mostly just space clean up as I don’t think I can recover much value from them.
Jiku-Chu new tapestries
I don’t have link to specific listing page so here’s tweet for the specific tapestry above. It’s also the only one I find interesting. If only it’s double suede.
Doujinshi – A.M.R 2019-12
In nice turn of events, this book is released today. I saw release date of today in Melonbooks store page but I thought it’s just a placeholder or something dumb but it’s not. It’s the actual release date.
Another great book from Ikegami Akane. A lot of Okita, including an almost R-18 one with back view of her only wearing striped panties. Some not-Okita illustrations as well including Astolfo. Nice.
Now I think about it, I wonder if we’ll get another dakimakura of her. Summer version maybe? Uniform Okita is welcome, too.
Tapestry (A1) – Cafe Stella (Trader)
And here’s the last one, from Trader. Smile, check. Nipples, check. Wet panties, check. Bare foot, well, it’s not really my thing. Also missing kneesocks.
I noticed that despite all tapestries are with maid uniform, they all have different socks. I wonder if it’s like that in-game as well. Probably not.
Unlike the other two, this one is A1-sized. The rarer size in my collection. At least I think I have space for it without needing sacrifice anything.
Surprisingly this is another double suede, making the tapestries I got are all double suede. That’s new, I think. I sure wish stores do this for all titles. That said, I think all other non-Natsume tapestries are using normal thin material. Yay Natsume fans?
The print is good though too bad this uses thin pipe which most likely means bent pipe after hung for a while.
Tapestry – Cafe Stella (Sofmap)
And here’s the second one, from Sofmap. B2 sized. Kneesocks yay. Panty pull yay. Nipples yay. Smiling yay.
All the yays. This is a pretty good tapestry.
I thought the dress underneath her is some kind of Kara no Kyoukai-style school uniform (which doesn’t really make sense) but it’s just her maid uniform without the apron, lol.
Using double suede as well and pretty good print. I don’t think it’s visibly worse than A&J. Too bad it uses thin pipe which is prone to bending. At least it’s only B2 so it shouldn’t be too bad.
Also needed assembly and thus ironing.
Tapestry – Cafe Stella (amiami)
And finally the interesting bonus! Starting off with B2 tapestry from amiami. Too bad no nipples. Not sure why she spilled tea to her crotch. Hopefully it’s not hot tea otherwise it’d hurt.
It’s double suede. And the print is pretty good. Very good in fact, especially because of this:
It’s printed by A&J. I haven’t seen any tapestries from them for a long while now. Especially since Moeoh switched from them to a cheaper printer. Last tapestry I can remember from A&J is doujin tapestry from Kimishima Ao, I think?
This is the only bonus tapestry using larger pipe.
Oh, and assembly was required. Not big deal but as a result there are a bunch of crease marks.
Misc Goods – Cafe Stella
Here’s the misc stuff from either pre-order bonus (draft book, tin badges), Sofmap bonus (more tin badges, shitajiki, shopping bag, stickers, bookmarks), Trader (keychain of some sort), and Amiami (covered keyholder thingy?).
The sticker is nice, as I can use it for stuff like portable drives. I can also probably use the acrylic keyholder The rest of them? I’m not sure. Maybe collect dust or something.
Drama CDs – Cafe Stella
And then here’s the drama CDs. Left one is official store bonus which is the main reason I bought one from there. These official drama CD can usually be found for relatively cheap so if I’m being sane I should’ve just bought it off YJA or second hand store.
The right side one is just pre-order bonus and so I have four copies of it at the moment.
Haven’t listened to them yet but if it’s anything like previous ones they should be mildly or barely lewd.
Shikishi – Cafe Stella
And then the shikishis. One of them already made appearance here when I pre-ordered it from Sofmap few weeks ago. While three of them are pretty easy to obtain, the bottom left one (Mei) is only available from their official store. That’s pretty annoying.
Looks pretty analog drawing just like every other bonus shikishis from Yuzusoft.
I wonder if they’ll ever make R-18 shikishi…
Game – Cafe Stella
Four of them! And an extra one copy owned by a friend.
Maybe I should take another break from other titles and start reading this…
TwinBox Melonbooks Tapestry
Even more tapestries from Melonbooks. Illustrated by TwinBox and available in various ratings and size.
Practically speaking you’re not fooling anyone with the “all ages” edition though.
Palette Akiba Pop Fes 2019 Winter
The info is up. No 9-series drama CD. There’s calendar though, so, maybe?

Eroge playthrough
I think I’m halfway through Moeri route now. And of course I failed completing it before Cafe Stella release day =]
Non-eroge stuff
Bad luck streak continues. Oh and I have one fewer weekly series now. Maybe I should start catching up my backlogs.
Daily life
Seems fine but now I kind of want a new Ryzen. That won’t go well with my budget.
A.M.R – not-C97 doujinshi
It’s more Okita book and it’s up for pre-order in Melonbooks.
I wanted to pre-order it right away but I’m not sure about paying extra for shipping as the book costs less than the minimum for free store pickup. Well, the fee is only 100yen so I may end up getting it anyway…? Or will I?
Weekly Finance vol. 8
Auction
Sold even more items. For total loss of about 20%.
On top of that I made mistake when creating auction for the random USB3 card and entered amount of two instead of one. Thankfully the bidder didn’t make big deal about it. It being a deal of 200yen worth of item.
And then another fail where one of the tapestries is damaged and I didn’t notice it until yesterday. No response for this one yet ‘_’)a
Oh well.
On next week though, there are some bids already.
Pre-orders
Pre-orders for 9-Yukiiro will start this Friday. I don’t know yet when I’ll actually pre-order it. Or them as I’m buying multiple copies.
There’s also Onigyu H-anime which I haven’t decided where to buy yet as I’m waiting for the tapestry image to come out first.
And lastly – at least as far as my list goes – Cuffs winter goods is here as well. I actually completely forgot about it but there are some stuff I may end up buying. That will also cost quite a lot.
Budgeting
Thanks to the auction last week, it covered the Cuffs stuff I forgot about. And maybe even 9-Yukiiro if counting on next week’s as well.
Update 2019-12-24: I got Yukiiro pre-order date wrong whoops.
Melonbooks 2019-12 tapestries
As usual. Kinda want the Yukie one…
Oshi no love yori koi no love
From the maker of unique all-ages yurige (being sponsored by Esperanto community), and the director of Tinkle Position, come a new R-18-patch-available yurige.
Another yurige to be added to my backlog after a long time since SonoHana…
9-yukiiro website open
It’s finally open! With store bonus information and all.
I’ll keep most of the stuff this time around because it’s Noa. Though that means it’ll be expensive. If I counted correctly, the total would be a bit over 52k $_$
I’m not sure about the daki yet though. Both seem fine but I think I like the official store version better.
Tapestry – A.M.R 2019-11 Apollo
Another Apollo tapestry. The first one in the recent drawing style.
Striped kneesocks! SD Choco plush! Thighs! Also interesting bump around her butts area.
Too bad no panties or anything explicit.
Thankfully double suede though the material seems a bit softer and thinner than usual. It’s still thick enough to be hung on top of non-uniform surface which is the main important point of this material after higher color reproduction. The details are pretty good as well though I noticed a slight defect of semi-transparent black dot around bottom area.
Ikegami Akane has been releasing two tapestries in a row now. It sure would be nice if this continues…
And R-18 tapestries as well please thanks ๐
Dakimakura cover – A.M.R – Arisukuni Taruto
Yay the latest addition to my increasingly Ikegami Akane-dominated dakimakura cover collection. I wasn’t sure if I actually want it before but I guess it’s fine. I haven’t opened it yet so no comment on the quality but it’s probably the usual Shiromoufu quality.
And nice bonus:
The line seems disconnected but there’s an interesting Y. I think it’s the first from her that’s quite a bit more than just simple line?
Bonus!
Here’s how the other side looks like.
Very explicit and wet. Good job.
And then some nice bonus.
Zipper stop part is made of plastic! Thanks to it, putting this on doesn’t hurt my hands, making it way easier.
And that the other side is way rounded also helps.
For once I don’t need to wear gloves to put this on.
Oh yeah I give up using “pillow cover” term ๐
Update 2019-12-15: Added photo on back side and zipper niceties.
Digest vol. 235: RIP usb3
This post is supposed to be posted yesterday but some crashes caused by (apparently) PCI-e USB3 expansion card took quite some time to track down. The card also went straight to auction because it’s not the first time I have problem caused by this card. Though I also kind of suspect it’s combination of USB3 and (very cheap) USB audio thingy.
News
More and more C97 related news. And some other unrelated news as well. Not sure what to do with Type-Moon Museum yet.

Eroge playthrough
Just entered Moeri’s route. Now I think about it, I don’t remember what I did last weekend ?_?
Non-eroge stuff
Somehow still keeping up with stuff. Maybe I should add more anime stuff and drop some YouTubes.
- Weekly FGO vol. 7.
- Lupin first 3D movie.
- FGO Babylonia ep. 10.
- Psycho-Pass S3 ep. 7. Oh no it’s ending soon ;_;
Daily life
Getting more questionable compared to last week but maybe still kind of safe.
Type-Moon Museum Goods
The museum is a thing. A bunch of Type-Moon related materials will be there. Not sure what’s the deal with the different themes.
And the goods is also a thing. It says 21 types of tapestries total but not much other info apart of the five images they’ve published so far. I don’t know if I’ll even go to the event. Maybe if I feel like wasting 4k-ish for the round trip and the ticket.
And looking closer, Arcueid’s eyes in the first image are kind of scary o_o
Kogado C97
Not sure why I’m still doing this but apparently I am! (?)
Tapestry with illustration above isn’t even actually Kogado. It’s not even new. It has been on pre-order on various stores since a while. There are also other some kind of interesting stuff so check it out?
I’m a bit curious on what “HD tapestry” actually entails there but I none of the illustrations really pique my interest.
Weekly Finance vol. 7
Auction
Surprisingly sold quite a few things. The total loss was about 15%. Not too bad considering (unfortunately) no particularly highly-bid item. Just minor loss overall.
I hope this week will be at least as good as last week…
Pre-orders
Ended up pre-ordering that Yometan K-Ko pillow cover.
Maybe will also buy the pieces’ Tsumugi pillow cover.
Budgeting
Thanks to last week’s YJA, it recovered a bit. Overall though I still have quite a bit wastable budget remaining for this year.
Not sure how next year will fare considering I won’t have as many stuff to be sold anymore.
