I screwed this up already, just take it that this was still last month otherwise we might have a 3-parter this month- *giggles*

Finally, FINALLY after a month's dry spell I finally managed to get no-nut November running- No, wait. *laughs* It's more like no-package October and THEN I just managed to ensure it doesn't happen by going to the auction sites. *dabs* Trust me, this should've been done weeks ago, f**king Buy&Ship taking its time, but I would also say it's more of the sellers too... and me hesitating to buy some of them until the weekend which makes it worse. All things considered, I'm still trying to get used to the buffers I need to consolidate, and although it wasn't as bad as a few months ago, these next ones might take second place. *laughs*

Anyways, now that it's here, let's rant about it!! UGH why does it have to take this long...

Before all of that let's get some sun-shining UNBOXING!!! *laughs* (I f**king gotcha, dude)

I know this should have its own segment, but considering I did not bother making this post longer with 2 more art books *wink* which I guess doesn't really count so I'll revisit those next year maybe, this is Miwano Ragu-sensei's 2nd art book!! *giggles* Yeah, "second", I did not buy the first which is actually also half novel for some reason. *shrugs* So this time definitely would be different but I don't know how much less text it will contain, but I'm sure it will give me vibes of when I bought their 100-page book all those years ago. This is just extra. *dabs* But hey, at least I didn't spend more than just pre-order money on this book than on other goods that they DO have selling on Booth of all places, including a desk pad which erm.. I can't see anything if I put my keyboard on it and it isn't black (lol) so that wasn't in this.

What IS in this though, is their great artwork which we shall revisit again... after 3 years- Have I NOT bought anything from them since then? Oops. *giggles* Please, all I want is to give people chance for their own doujin art. *silence* SENSEI PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! (lol)

Should I even put the disclaimer here? *silence* Nah, we should be fine. *smiles*

Oh boy, how long ago did I do this already, me? YOU THOUGHT you could avoid the one in June and now the inevitable return has come haha so let us welcome the new edition of Seiyuu Grand Prix magazine!!! *dabs* Okay maybe not "newest" considering a new one just dropped by and Hina-chan's on the cover *shrugs* LMAO but DAMN has it been SIX YEARS since then??? *OMG* Since then hehe, we have been introduced to a new wave of voice actresses who have then since gotten their place in the most popular Japanese voice actor magazine (in Japan) and gotten itself a subscription service *pukes* so expect an amalgamation of ALL the people you love and hate (lol) including guys (LMAO) because this, THIS is the reason- Okay, there are 2 actual reasons that make this worth it this time around. *giggles*

Skipping the June issue which was Rieri trying to be her own character from an Anime, this time around, Asakura Momo was the cover girl in quite a while (she is not Ten-chan popular to be able to get her own Seigura along with Ito Miku who just got hers btw) of course thanks to her solo artist 10th anniversary, and Ueda Reina as the back cover because she just released a single after 4 years or something, we talked about that in the "My Girl" magazine previously. These names are more than enough reason to get the Gamers shop bonus which of course are my beloved bromide photos of both cover girls that's actually important (also I don't want the Infosquare version which has... Aimi-san? EWWWW *laughs*), but ironically Ueshama's aren't as great so I focused on giving Mocho... after I sulked at getting the TSUTAYA version which bromide photo features final album Touyama Nao *sob* and had to be purchased on physical stores ONLY *ugh* and also *wink* knowing that I would try to complete the photo collections... in due time. *smiles*

Oh yeah, I'm going to SO MANY MORE PEOPLE I KNOW IN HERE, this review might be even longer than the art book. *laughs*

Oh I'm going to enjoy alright... The photobook. *dabs* This will be such a good wank leading up to next year I can't even- MOVING ON!!! *laughs*

Oh wow and we aren't even halfway there yet??? *OMG*

(Haha oh hey, dinner's here lol)

AND THE DUE TIME IS NOW!!! *laughs* Okay this took WAY too long to compile but yes, I did try to complete the Seiyuu Grand Prix bromide photo gifts through auction sites once again, this time ONLY spanning 2 months (lol) which of course Mocho *blessed* and Ueshama but also, Kohara Konomi was cover girl in the previous issue so I included her in too. The process was rather similar to last time where I waited a month and then used the weekend of when the magazine released so 2nd week of October, so then collate as many as I can. But of course it was not easy for Koko-chan but more interestingly, it was WAY harder for the other 2 mainly because I have waited patiently but have NOT seen full collections of any of them and I think I know why because (1) it's not Ten-chan lol and I am not joking about it which means stock is not aplenty since you have to BUY the magazines in order to have these "free photos", and (2) Ueshama bromide photos are actually expensive. *silence* Yep, go find out for yourself, and this isn't even her half-naked. *laughs* I can keep going on but alas, I did try even till the last minute (which also explains why this was so damn late I was just waiting for one for 2 weeks lol) and I guess you can read back on the previous time I did this, similar experience even though more orchestrated and was lesser in featured girls. Yeah, last time still had Inorin who slipped in the cargo compartment before the ship left. *giggles* Overall I did well though this time around, picking Gamers for my actual purchase made this journey a lot easier as they were less seen used online. *smiles*

So yeah, minimum orders are basically impossible to be honest because ironically they were also cheaper (by the way) including local shipping, so sadly, I was just capped because of Buy&Ship's consolidation limit of 10 items, as you would recall. Hey, buying the art book AND Seigura together did help as that counts as one order. *dabs* And I still had enough for one last thing I can buy? I wonder what that is. *giggles*

So aligning with my layout which was SO not properly aligned haha, here's an actual table of how each of them costed!! (I don't think it matters to be in a data table now tbh I need new ideas)

(Hey, I did not come up with the nicknames for Ueshama's photos, okay? It's all from the official site listings)

OOPS! I DID IT AGAIN~ *laughs*

She played with my heart alright LMAO yes this is true (late) simp ladies and gentlemen because I have to say Kanno Mai's recital bromide sets from 2023 could have been bought by me... if I had been a hardcore fan a few months earlier. *giggles* And not be a b*tch about finding out about it, that part is important. *laughs* (Edit: Okay I remember these posts, I just did not think they would sell-) According to official sources this was in July which is rather close to the time where I also missed her very first radio event because I was 2000 kilometers away from her (lol) to not be able to get that event-only bromide set- You know the drill, I'm just playing catching up. *giggles* WHICH IS WHY (lol) I F**KING HATE the guy selling it being SO RIGHT that this is rare enough for them to jack up prices you f**king- I think I might be able to use this money to buy the rest of the Seigura bromides. *laughs* I also did screw up the proxy order by using the voucher on another item which I forgot *sshh* so that was a thing. *shrugs*

And I'm not going to include the pricing on the collation earlier, this is WAY above the average pricing but somehow, still cheaper per unit item as there are SIXTEEN (16) of them. *blessed*

(Haha)

...Reviewing a magazine and art book TOGETHER was a mistake. Goodbye, Saturday!! *laughs* No I will finish this today I promise. (lol)

But hey, truly enjoyed every moment, my heart is still beating, and it's not because of Mocho's shaking rack in the 10th anniversary livestream. *laughs* Ah, would you look at the time!! Time for supper- Okay it's not that late. *giggles* But I want to achieve some level of standards in my posts, so it will likely be. Thank goodness for public holiday on Monday, I guess. *smiles* Trust me when I say the most fun part is in translating the nicknames Seigura has given their bromide photo gifts, it's a great way to learn Japanese. *laughs* See you guys tomorrow for Anime I guess, I'm tired I'll deal with the data and the potential permit of non-disclaimer on an art book and my hard-on or whatever. *giggles*
