Sad to say I own the entire series of that book

So the question is… What should I die for?

Item No.1

D.C. II – Nanaka Shirakawa mousepad + phonecard set

• Price: 3,500 yen
• Probably more since they don’t ship overseas and I have to use a middleman.
• Mousepad size: 190mm x 220mm

Everyone knows that I am a Nanaka fanboy. The design used by the phonecard is, in my opinion, the best CG of her in the game. I want this bad. The other D.C. II girls are also available from Chara-Ani.

Item No.2

D.C. II – Nanaka Shirakawa limited edition Zippo lighter

• Price: 7,000 to 10,000 yen
• Probably more since it’s Yahoo Auctions
• Officially licensed Zippo lighters
• Sold during Comiket 70
• Only 300 made, each with a serial number

I don’t smoke. I don’t collect lighters. BUT THIS IS JUST WAY TOO COOL. (Okay, maybe my definition of “cool” is a bit off) Each lighter has its unique serial number, which tickles my inner collector soul. The original retail price at Comiket was 6,000 yen, so Yahoo Auction prices aren’t too bad. Yet. (Just wait till a D.C. II anime is announced) Oh so tempting…

Item No.3

1/20 Tachikoma from Megahouse

• Release Date: Feb 2007
• Price: 10,000 yen
• Made of ABS
• Multiple articulations
• 130mm tall

I am lazy. I bought the 1/24 Tachikoma model kit last year and have yet to open the box. This however is pre-built, bigger and cooler. The only catch is that it’s a few times the price of the original too.

Item No.4

School Rumble – Yakumo Tsukamoto pillow cover from COSPA
School Rumble – Eri Sawachika pillow cover from COSPA

• Release Date: 20/11/2006
• Price: 9,000 yen each

Wait! I know what you are thinking… Take a deep breath. Relax. Anyway, COSPA quality is worth the money. But as much as I like Yakumo and Eri, they are not exactly my favourite characters of all time. Still, somewhat interested.

Item No.5

Want to buy: money-printing machine plz!

Anyway, considering the fact that I’ve already pre-spent most of my money for the next year or so, I think I need to think carefully about this and not make any rash deci…

…Oh fuck it. Nanaka is calling for me!

Anyway, I’ve been quite broke since I placed that preorder for Da Capo II… so I’ve been curbing (or at least trying to curb) my spending for April.

• School Rumble Guide Book – Treasure File
• School Rumble Vol. 12
• Suzuka Vol. 11 Limited Edition
• Suzumiya Haruhi novels 1 to 4
• Mahou Sensei Negima! Vol. 14 Limited Edition

Negima! Vol. 14 Limited Edition came with a nice fake-leathery book cover that fits all Kodansha tankoubon, which is great because I always destroy my books. Of course the limited edition also cost about 3 times the normal price but that’s besides the point.

Suzuka Vol. 11 was good, really good. I can’t wait till the next volume. The limited edition bonus consists of 2 special cover designs and 2 postcards. The sad thing is that they didn’t include the normal cover… Well the normal cover sucks anyway. (Yasunobu + Whatsherface? Yuck)

See, I didn’t spend much for April… Other than those books, it’s just my regular monthly issues of Comptiq and Newtype, my preorder for Da Capo II, my preorder on CDJapan for Maaya Sakamoto’s new single and D.C.II OP-ED single and my preorder for this and this (Saber <3)…

……Okay, maybe I fail at this money-saving business. But hey, this is still nothing compared to moyism. (hint: those numbers are in USD)

And yes, he is my role model in life. XD

P.S. I want to preorder this too.

O……|ï¿£|＿

OP Screencaps!

The new OP is “Sentimental Generation” (せんちめんたる　じぇねれ～しょん) by Ami Tokito, whom I have not heard of before. It’s quite nice and catchy, though a bit slower Scramble. The ED is “Kono Namida ga Aru kara Tsugi no Ippo to Naru” (My next step comes only because these tears exist – このæ¶ãŒã‚るから次の一歩となる) also by her.

On a side note, Yuuka Nanri (of FictionJunction YUUKA fame) no longer voices Karen Ichijou (supposedly due to scheduling issues). Kind of sad. Also, that whatshisface guy who follows Kenji around seems to have a switch of seiyuu too. Other than that the cast remains the same as far as I can tell.

The next episode will be the long-awaited survival game episode. Final-fricking-ly. Itoko is going to pwn. <3

Speaking of which, volume 12 of School Rumble will be out this month! Hurray!!! Also looking forward to the rest of the new series starting this and next week. ^^
