Doujinshi Pick-Up Service: Comic City 75 and Gijinka Kingdom (Osaka)

Jun 15, 2009 09:27

Hello hello! Two events are coming up this weekend that are definitely worth waiting for. Comic City 75 is a 6,000 space general convention, but the Osaka events always feature smaller, less-prolific circles and lots of booths selling swag and other goodies.

And right next to Comic City is the fabulous Gijinka Kingdom--1,123 Hetalia circles and ( Read more... )

Hi there~! I'm a new customer. I just discovered this place a few weeks ago, and as there is a book I'm desperately hoping to get, I decided to give this a try. :D (I've ordered from doujinshi event pickup services before, so I'm not new to those!).

Anyway. The book I'm looking for is here. It's under BASARA, titled "MMMM" and the circle name is つるや(artist: ねーぽん). I looked through her offline page and blog entries, but I don't see a mention of her going to Comic City 75. :< So, I was wondering if there is any way to check whether or not she'll be attending (CC75 doesn't publish a list of circles attending do they?)? Sadly, her books aren't available for purchase at consignment shops like Toranoana, so the only way to get them to is to attend events.

Thank you for any help! :D

Hello, my name's Alicia, nice to meet you!

I took a look at the site you mentioned, and unfortunately Tsuruya's information is a bit out-of-date--the last convention she refers to is SuperComi, back in May. The circle also doesn't handle mail-orders, so you might have to sit tight until they decide to attend a convention again.

Tsuruya's works are offered in several Y!J auctions at the moment, but "MMM" isn't one of them. I can add it to my shopping list and keep my eyes peeled when I'm at the stores--you never know, we just might get lucky.

Thanks for stopping by and if you have any other requests, fire away! =^_^=

Ohmygosh, you would do that? If it's not too much trouble... I'd really appreciate it! I don't know how hard it'll be to find the book in stores, but I'll stay hopeful. If you can't find it, though, that's TOTALLY understandable! :DD Thanks a million!

Enjoy the doujin events!

You Bet! the_little_nook June 25 2009, 01:36:59 UTC

Nah, it's not too much trouble at all--it's kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack, but you never know, we just might get lucky. I added it to my list and will definitely be checking out the Basara sections tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed! *waves*

Heya! The last parcel got to me asap, and made my day when it did! ♥

This time though, I will be changing things up a little though. My newest kick is Sengoku Basara, and for now I'm interested in this: http://8go.jp/ circle's Basara works, or any nice YukimuraSasukeYukimura works. ♥ Or if you find this: http://0201.from.tv/ymhk/anthology.html anthology available anywhere, I'd be up for it as well. XD

Heyas! the_little_nook June 20 2009, 16:27:25 UTC

Long time no see, how are you? I'm glad your package made it safe and sound, because there were some nice Rikkai stuff at the last events, weren't there? :P

It looks like the anthology is already sold out, but I'll watch for it at the event tomorrow. And here's an estimate for Hachi-gou's works--note that I needed to ask a little more for shipping the anthology, but dropped the price of the other work:

//---

1. "Hachi-gou Sairoku" (Hachi-gou): $17 + $5 shipping
2. "Sono Otoku, Shinobu Ni Tsuki" (Hachi-gou): $12 + $3 shipping

Subtotal, doujinshi: $29

Shipping--$6 airmail, plus $5 for the anthology and $3 for "Sono": $14

Total: $43

Thanks again for stopping by and catch you soon! ^_^

I just sent the payment! Sorry it's so late, but this weekend I had no access to the internet ( only managed to see that you replied on my phone and been stressing that I'm unable to pay asap :( ).

perfectassassin June 30 2009, 19:09:38 UTC

Sorry for being a bother, but I have been wondering if you received my payment?

Hello Alicia!
I'm not sure of the circles that are going to attend Gijinka Kingdom, but here is some kind of list:

- You have mentioned that HAKKA PINK is going to be there with two new works... is it possible for you to get a copy of each of them for me?

- I think LOVEPOTIONNO.9 is attending the convention as well, but I'm not sure of what the new books are going to be... is there a way to find out? (since I don't really understand Japanese...)

- I also think "promenade" is going to be there with their new book "Next To Me". If possible, can I have a copy of it?

I'm also interested in two books from HAKKA PINK found on Livret.jp; those are their two first doujinshi. I think I've already sent you the URL for one of them? Here is the URL for the other: http://www.livret.jp/tsuhan/system/sp_hakka_hakka1.php?RATED=18

That's pretty much about it XD
Please tell me if some information are missing!
Thank you so much for your hard work! ♥♥♥

Gotcha! the_little_nook June 20 2009, 17:29:29 UTC

Heyas, how's it going? You've asked a lot of good questions here--let me answer them one by one ( ... )

Payment sent! rosederwuste June 20 2009, 21:43:29 UTC

Hello, Alicia!
Thank you so much!
I just sent you my payment, I hope everything is okay!

By the way, is it possible to add two more doujinshi?
My sister is interested in the following titles:
- 「AnotherDark」, by BDS.
- 「ブララバ！」, by BDS as well.
(the two of them are listed on the circle website;
http://fizzcode.pop.cx/bds/gijinka/index.htm)

Thank you very much once again!!! <3
Oh, and I added a $6 extra for EMS shipping, is it okay?

Re: Payment sent! itsmyisland2 June 23 2009, 06:43:28 UTC

Hi, rosederwuste. Nice to meet you! Alicia asked me to mention that originally, she thought LPN9 would only offer two doujinshi, but they had "Mujouken Koufuku". She was pretty sure you would want this doujinshi, so we've have included it in your estimate. Let us know what you want either way. It's no problem ( ... )

Hello Alicia! I'm glad to see you got some help and you are recovered at last!

About the convetion, I'm looking for...

This LietPol anthology.

喫茶麦畑へようこそ！ and おそく起きた朝は･･･ by Mugen+

So, a pair of months ago I requested this doujinshi and i have no response. I don't know if you could buy it for me or not, if you can, please, i am very interested in it.

I'll pay with paypal.

Thank you!

***EDIT***

Hello Alicia!

Sorry, forgot to say i would like EMS shipping this time. I'll pay you as soon as you give me the totals because i would like to pay you in advance. Last time was so confusing i was worried if i did something wrong *sigh*. My paypal is ready, as always.

Thank you again!

fresisui June 19 2009, 11:29:12 UTC

Sorry, i've seen this one too.

Got It! A Gijinka Kingdom Update... the_little_nook June 22 2009, 18:35:13 UTC

Hello, long time no see, how are you? All your requests made it onto my list and I picked them all up without a problem ( ... )

eh... missfired ^^U fresisui June 22 2009, 21:55:06 UTC

Thank you so much!!! I don't know what to say, really.

*squeeeee* <--- the most brilliant word i can say right now.

I just made the payment for the Gijinka Kingdom doujinshis and shipping charges, if you can send them first it could be great!. I can wait for Aki's.

Don't worry about that. It was strange because you worked so well before but now you can manage the things better!. Thank you so much for this, really, you made me happy ;D
