Tenipuri
Haven't been fangirling this series enough lately, but I bought Kanzenban season 2 volumes 1-3 today, as well as PairPuri 6, featuring Kirihara & Kaidou. So expensive. :'D I've been trying to translate some of PairPuri 6 over at
fanbook, but I've only done a 2 pages so far. The whole fanbook is so much fun though! I especially enjoy the Kirihara & Krauser interaction, as well as how much Kirihara's sempai are emphasized.
Season 2 of the complete edition currently features Hyoutei on the covers!
Volume 1: Oshitari&Gakuto on the cover, Kikumaru&Momoshiro on the inside cover, and if you slip the book out, you see another version of Kikumaru&Momoshiro, but this time with Oishi between them! (Yes, it's the 3 person doubles part of the story!) The new color page features Oshitari in his private clothes. New manga at the back features Rikkai... buying ice cream! XD
Volume 2: Shishido&Ootori on the cover, Inui&Kaidou on the inside cover (with lots of milk bottles, haha), and the actual wrap around cover features sleeping Jirou. :3 Inside color page features Gakuto wearing overalls. The specials at the end are baby pics of Yukimura enjoying a cool breeze, Kite&Kai, and Saeki! Saeki looks so cool in his samurai-like clothes!
Volume 3: Oh gosh, this one is for Atobe lovers. He just looks very cool both on the outside cover and on the wrap around cover. The inside flap though features a very pained Tezuka gripping his shoulder. Poor Tezuka. D: Color page features Jirou looking very cheerful. Manga at the end is about Sengoku! Specifically, Sengoku listening to Yumiko's divination and feeling very lucky, getting picked for Jr Senbatsu, and all! (We get to see a young Sanada and Yanagi and Atobe! With Yanagi imitating Sengoku's "lucky~" when he predicts that's what he was going to say) And then Sengoku sends Yumiko fan letters... XD;
Super belated, but Tenipuri Festa 2011. So much love! Today I flipped through Animedia (May and June editions had a special seiyuu guide section, with a one page questionnaire per seiyuu) and was surprised at how many seiyuu I recognized by appearance. It was all mostly Tenipuri seiyuu that I recognized though. Kite's seiyuu wrote that he felt Kite's role was the turning point of his seiyuu career. Minagawa Junko wrote that it was Ryoma for her. :)
But yeah, Tenipuri Festa 2011. Finally got to hear Laser Beam performed by all of Rikkai! :D Was so waiting for that!
Junai Labyrinth
Picked up volume 4 today! I decided not to buy Seiyuu Ka- v5-6 and Gakuen Alice v24 in favor of buying some Tenipuri (will buy sometime later... I've already read what's in v5-6 for Seiyuu Ka anyway, and I haven't been reading the Gakuen Alice volumes I've been buying... maybe I'll wait until I catch up to actually buy it? =x). I still bought Junai Labyrinth since I have been following this shoujo. Reira~. Haruto~. Umi~. The characters feel very typical of this mangaka, but they always make me smile! I'm cheering for Reira, but this whole thing feels very Haruto x Umi... which is the whole point of the story I think. XD; Haruto and Umi are brother and sister, and Umi has a huge brother complex. Haruto has a pretty huge sister complex too. Reira... is kind of just there and gets on the nerves of both of them. XD;
Kimi to Boku
I've been buying GFantasy for the sake of the KtB extras, haha. June edition comes with a pencil board! Last month's was stickers, and before that was a poster. I haven't actually read these chapters yet (need to get out all my GFantasy and read them at once) but I flipped through June's... and goodness, Yuuki and Chizuru are fighting? Now I'm curious. There was also a 4-koma featuring the boys talking about the anime! :D
Kuragehime
Not related to stuff I bought today, but I finished watching Kuragehime~. (I picked up where I left off... and then couldn't stop, haha) Really loved Kuranosuke a lot. Appearance-wise, I seem to really like characters who tie their hair up in a little ponytail (think, Gokudera, who does it from time-to-time). Personality-wise, I loved his confidence and how much he cared about Tsukimi. I also adored Shuu, though I felt bad for Tsukimi when he didn't recognize her. :'D The anime was quite heart-warming a lot of the time, and I wish I had Chieko's skill with sewing. XD; Also loved the jellyfish metaphors.

Date: 2011-06-25 01:19 am (UTC)I want to buy PoT manga xD! But I know its expensive... The past year I bought 5 volumes of Pokémon Special Manga, and I found very expensive... I guess PoT Perfect Edition is more expensive x_x
TeniFes was wonderfull, hope we can see more events like that :D, and Rikkai's Laser Beam!! I began to shout a lot when i see that part (and I was in my Job! xD), Massun with his "guitar" and the "Sentai" pose in the end, it was awesome :3!

Date: 2011-06-25 01:59 am (UTC)Yeah, the perfect edition's pretty expensive. It's $17 per volume... but it does make for a good collection with the extras!
When Laser Beam came on, I was going "Yesssss, this song is finally here!!" XD; I had a lot of fun watching it, and I smiled so hard when they were posing at the beginning.

Date: 2011-06-25 01:23 am (UTC)Rikkai buying ice cream, Oshitari in his private clothes, baby picture of Yukimura, Saeki the samurai, Atobe!, young Sanada, young Yanagi, young Atobe....*fangirls like crazy* Will I/we be seeing any of this online?
Me? Atobe lover? Nah :P I only worship the ground he walks on lol.
Also, LASER BEAM is addictive love. When I heard the Rikkai version of that from Tenipuri Festa '11, I was like "Where has this song been all of my life?!". I didn't realize that both Niou's and Yagyuu's versions were lurking on my computer because I haven't had much motivation to go through all of my PoT music.
Hope you're doing well and everything! ^^

Date: 2011-06-25 02:08 am (UTC)I've scanned some of the extras. You can find that at
There was also a very pretty Atobe poster that when along with the collector's box. There's now a Niou and a Shiraishi version too, but I haven't been able to get my hands on any of these. Darn. You can see the Atobe poster here.
I'm glad Laser Beam is now part of your life! XD; It is too awesome a song not to be! Have you also listened to Yukimura's version? They have a pretty fun cast talk with her, Massun, and Tsuda Eisuke (where they talk about what the other characters should end the Laser Beam song with if they were to perform the song).
Doing well, yes! Doing some serious job hunting, and then I'll be whisking off to an anime convention for the July 4th weekend. Will be busy!

Date: 2011-07-02 03:38 am (UTC)I must fail or something because I can't find any of the extras of Season 2 manga over at fanbook. :/
I. love. that. Atobe. poster. He's so smexy!
Have not listened to Yukimura's version of Laser Beam. Which album is it on? Oooo... I will have to listen to the cast talk - I'm sure it's epically hilarious because those three are awesome.
Good luck with the job hunting!! It's tough (I've been doing some job hunting too... come on band director job...). Wow - it's this weekend then! Have a wonderful time at the anime convention!! ^^ I'm hoping to go to my first one next year when I have some money for my job that I've been working to get.
Wishing you the best!

Date: 2011-07-06 08:17 pm (UTC)Ah! I only have volumes 1-9 of season 1 scanned so far. Haven't gotten around to season 2 yet, but I'll be scanning those too. ^^;;
HE IS. I think Shiraishi and Niou also have their version? But whoa, Atobe. XD; None of them look like middle schoolers, seriously...
Yukimura's version of Laser Beam is on his newest album... called Prologue, I think? The cast talk was really fun!
Job hunting has not been going all that well, but I won't give up just yet!! I just got back from my anime convention. It was very tiring! Ooh, I hope you have fun next year at your anime con~
Ack, now for a sudden, random intrusion?
Date: 2011-06-27 12:18 am (UTC)I have both the colored and b/w versions of Rykatu & Tekatme up here, as well as the b/w drawings of your other four characters!
I hope to finish the rest of them this week before Anime Expo!
Re: Ack, now for a sudden, random intrusion?
Date: 2011-06-27 12:50 am (UTC)I hope you have enough time to finish them, otherwise, don't worry! You're probably very busy because of AX! Maybe I'll see you there? :) I'll be in the Artist Alley most of them time near the front (the side facing the Dealer's) if you ever wander over there~.
Re: Ack, now for a sudden, random intrusion?
Date: 2011-06-28 09:37 pm (UTC)And be happy some more! The rest are finished!
I'll definitely be spending some time around the Artist Alley! I hope I see you!
Oh, I was wondering, do you mind if I add you as a friend here?
Re: Ack, now for a sudden, random intrusion?
Date: 2011-06-28 10:54 pm (UTC)I'm helping my friend sell most of the time, outside going to the concerts and shopping. I think we're at A55 if you want to drop by! :D
I'd love to be LJ friends. :)
