So here I sit...

[lebateleur]

...with this year's Comiket catalogue open on my lap. D Gray Man is this year's Hagaren, with tables and tables of doujinshi throughout the east hall. (Of course, it should go without saying that Hagren is also this year's Hagaren...) Bleach is a runner up for next-largest number of circles, and thank heavens that the art quality has vastly improved over years previous. Death Note has dwindled down to almost nothing, and I am somewhat saddened to find that my favorite circles are now mostly doing DGM instead. One Piece production is down as well. (If only I could get this to scroll like a stock ticker...Bleach +30 OP -50 LotR -20 HP -20 DGray +200) And oh look, here are some Gospellers doujinshi, next to Acidman doing a whole bunch of visual kei rockers. Odd, but okay. Then there are a couple of weird fandoms, like Naruto and PoT, that seem to have half the catalogue devoted to them;)

And as luck would have it, all my favorite original circles are in the same row, so it'll be a straight shot on Sunday. Yatta!

So here's the question: do you guys want me to pick any of this stuff up for you as I'm making the rounds? I'm more than happy to make the attempt, if anyone's interested.

これで以上です。

Is Comiket only once a year? WAKE UP AND TALK TO ME ON AIM!!! ;)

Not asking for anything, but lemme just say that it's perfectly natural for PoT and Naruto to be taking up half the catalogue. *grin*

Ah, would you mind if I asked for two? Actually, are you only going on Sunday?

On Sat, Hatoline will be at 東1ホールG-39b and she says that she'll have something new out, but doesn't say what the title is (http://s2.poporo.net/hatomile/work.html).

And on Sunday, Takaguchi will be at 西地区や01 and I would love to get "AQUA ROSE ~ 悪態16".

Can't believe I'm leaving two weeks before Summer Comiket.

Ah, Internet again. Sorry I didn't answer this sooner - Yahoo BB's giving me the runaround with my move. Anyway, I'm 95% going on Saturday, probably can't do Friday, and am pushing for Sunday. It all depends on whether my section will let me take nenkyuu so soon after starting work. If I end up (god forbid) not going to Comiket I can try to mail order those books for you if you'd like.

Have a safe trip home!

Ah, thank you so much, but I talked another friend into it. She's definitely going all three days, so I don't feel so bad about giving her my shopping list. ;)

Thanks though!
