Recent Purchases and Good Finds Thread

So I was helping my brother in his fields and I unearthed something pretty unusual:
A french coin dating back from the German occupation.

Considering I'm not bothering to take a picture of such a small item, here's a picture I got from google search.

Vichy franc. My aunt found a 40franc Napoleon in the ground by her farm.

Edit:

So I've received my pay and I took advantage of finishing Nozokiana to catch up with Prison School.
I also received a book by Saigado, I'm trying to get most of the others but it's pretty hard.



Still got volume 7 to get, but it was already sold out where I found the series.
First book was already in my possession.

Oh yeah, you'll notice some covers are different, especially vol 1 and 2 which are switched.

Guess I could buy the anime at one point (at least I won't give money to funimation and their shithead script writer) but I'll stick to my plan of getting me the Evangelion anime (and the movies 2 and 3).

I couldn't resist.

So a weird buy from my part, especially because this isn't a series I planned to pick up, it just happened the three volumes were available for cheap and the fourth and last one was finally published a few weeks ago.

Catacombes.


I am a sucker for zombie stories, though I have a preference for unusual settings, Gyo had fish zombies and mechanical legs, and Cradle of Monsters took place in an upside down boat (also the zombies were more akin to Resident Evil's Ganados).
Catacombes takes place in one of the most infamous places in France: The catacombs of Paris (and here's a spoiler for those who don't know what it is, though I think it's pretty popular already.)

So Catacombes follows the story of a goth girl, Anahë, an artist and lover of Metal who explores the Paris undergrounds with friends. And I give it props for having zombies that don't look like a simple human with random scratches.

The manga is western, and strangely reads from right to left, like a japanese manga, a very unusual feature coming from a french based manga which usually reads the other way.

I don't know if scans of this exist, however I can recommend you all another french serie that was scanned: City Hall, a story where paper is the most dangerous invention in the world, as it causes anything written to appear or happen. Fans of Steampunk settings may pop a boner when reading it. I know I did.


EDIT: oh yeah forgot, if I did not want to pick it up before it's because the series was published very slowly. It took seven years to reach completion, for four volumes, it's pretty long.

Got this amazing figure.



More pics

So I went to a neighboring city to check a local bookstore

That was pretty disappointing when it come to lewds, the most notable entry is Step up Love Story (Futari Ecchi)'s Sex Guide, and the large amount of Love Junkies volumes I found, even though it's mostly season 2.
For non lewd, Variante vol 4 is one book I'm very glad to find, as it's not printed anymore.
Love in the hell is kind of an unnecessary buy considering I got the english version already.


Also I got me some anime movies but forgot to include them in the picture: Redline, and Interstella 5555

The books are pretty messy, so I'll be doing some cleaning/repairing work on some of them.


Oh yeah, for Alien fans, there was a pretty big Alien Figma-like figure in the store, it's pretty beautiful but costs around 200€, I didn't buy it, but it's a little gem for the eyes.

EDIT: I just discovered that Love Junkies Season 2 is in fact the second half of the japanese series, which isn't separated in two seasons in the first place. What the fuck.

ShindoL's Cultural Anthropology
Zannen Ouji to Dokuzetsu Maid
Aqua bless
Boing boing
Exclusive deadpool shirt and a new baitcaster rod and reel. Plus year license since don't wanna buy day passes anymore.

Well, I had this on pre-order back in Feb with Hobby Search.

Pardon my ignorance, but is that Saigado book localized, or is that an import? I've managed to find an import of another Saigado book at an anime convention. "Live Cum", I think it was called.



I had no plans for buying any figures for quite a while, since I'm quite content with my current collection, but this is giving me a strong change of heart.

This one is localized in France but not printed anymore, I advise you try and get the doujin version, as the tank version it heavily censored.
Ah Live Cum, it's one of my very first hentai read ever, I do own a localized version but the loli chapter was cut from it, so I might order an original version one day.

My dealer has it.

That reminds me of the copy of Love Selection I have by Kisaragi Gunma. The one that was localized by Manga Erotica, I believe. They removed the loli chapter from it. But at least it's pretty valuable, since apparently it's hard to come by nowadays.

found me some stuff: a rather recently released retro hentai and two volumes of Love Junkies to fill some holes in the series I've been collecting thus far (sadly I still have half the series to go)



It's my first encounter with author Tomo Chiyoji, a hentai artist whose work have been on my list of curiosities to get one day, his style reminds me a lot of airplane pinups for some reason, and I don't think it's a surprise that this author is published not by a hentai publisher, but by a western porn comic publisher.
Noticeably, the book is printed to read like a western book and it is slightly bigger than the other books I own.

I'm very fucked this month. I have put myself up to a very strict budget but manga releases this month will be a bitch. Let's just hope no surprise come this month.

Still waiting for niponese porn and anton's waifu's novel.

Hitagi, Ougi or makoto?

First it's Kizumonogatari then christmas Bakemonogatari.

I'm bad at saving money lol

Stuff and things I got while I was down in Tokyo over the Final Love Live Concert.
