Day 13 - Unlucky for some - but never for Yaoi!

The Libre vs June saga still has me hooked - I loved how on their Twitter account June posted an image of a list of titles that wouldn't be available from the 30 June.

I thought it was laughable that they still considered some of these titles available in the first place?! Maybe it depends on where you live but as a non-North American resident I don't find it easy to get hold of these titles at all without paying well over the odds to get them and then paying the same again to ship them to me. Basically, pricing me out of the yaoi market.

There is a few on that list that I would like to have but we will see if someone (Ahem SuBLime?) will pick them up and in some cases finish them. I'm looking at you Konoyo Ibun (A strange and mystifying story!). I have loved Suzuki Tsuta's work for a long time - she was a resident of Kyoto where I lived once, too. There have been 7 volumes published in Japan and only three in English - one volume of which is very expensive to try and get. I would love to finally read the whole series. I loved Akanai Tobira - which Dangerous Pleasures scanlated - and I would love an English version - I absolutely died when listening to the drama CD of it - fantastic! More Please!

On another note - I ordered from Animate in Japan the summer edition of Emerald (Animate set), which comes with the colour pencil set, and the Junjou Romantica 21 (Animate set), which comes with a pencil pouch. 

It will be a little expensive but I have to have them and they have to be Animate sets. The great thing about Japan is that almost every single shop wants something special and unique to offer their customers who shop with them. Animate always seem to do good merchandising offers - so I must have them for my collection. It is overwhelming at this stage - but the stress of not getting them is much worse.

Some say that buyers remorse is bad - non-buyers remorse is so much worse! Yaoi fans know what I'm talking about!
