My copy arrived sometime last week. I finally got a chance to open it, take some photos and read a bit.
Sadly no shirt this time. Pics are higher-res but the lighting wasn't that great and I didn't have a helper this time :\ Also I forgot to take a pic of it beside Renai Sample! D: Also they're almost all sideways -_-
Fornt cover:
Back cover:
The book is fantastic and absolutely beautiful!
Back cover without the jacket:
I see what you did there
Front cover, jacketless:
It's a very pretty cover actually
The side, both with and without cover:
Hmm, they look really neat side-by-side
I got some pretty nice poster pics though:
This poster's great
But this one's da best. Actually, this is literally atleast ~30-50 percent of the reason I impulse-bought this. Thank you poster, thank you.
The pleasingly-perfect-proactively-protective-packaging:
Very happy for the cardboard box, Punikano's in much better condition then Renai (Although Renai was in pretty good condition nonetheless). Although...
How in the
hell did this happen? o_O The small press is more understandable, but it somehow has some sort of stuff stuck on it
underneath the dust jacket O_o
Anyway, I'm very happy with this book! Just like Renai Sample, it's print quality is higher than just about any other book I own. No complaints aside from the lack of tear lines for the poster.
By the way, are the blank pages at the front and back by any chance based off the suggestion I made at the stall at Otakuthon? Or is that just the way they're printed in Japan?
