Shhhh! Amazon.co.jp's dirty little secret...

UPDATE: It looks like this little loophole has been patched as I have not been able to order anything via Marketplace for several months now.
Thanks to Erin S. AKA pkChinensis of Lililicious I have discovered a way to abuse the Amazon.co.jp system for my own personal pleasure. Amazon now warehouses stock for Marketplace sellers. Everything is packaged and shipped through Amazon’s own fulfillment center. The super sugoi awesome, awesome, whoooo thing about that is the system does not implement the same region restrictions as with general Amazon stock AND you get the same level of prompt shipping as with any regular Amazon order.

tl:dr THEY SHIP PORN! schlick, schlick, schlick

Just look up an item you want to order. Then look for one of the following things highlighted in pink:




Add that item to your cart along with any other regular items you wish to purchase and checkout like normal.



So far I've gotten two smutty manga magazines and the Shoujo Sect Part 1 DVD Box I blogged about yesterday using this little loophole! The latter DVD costing me a mere $32.00 USD total including shipping which is about $25.00 less than the retail price on Amazon (minus any shipping charges)! :P That's a pretty sweet deal!

And, of course, if you’re looking for non-hentai stuff that is either out-of-print, cheap as hell or is an item that Amazon typically will not ship outside of Japan, you can use this little feature to add some more cool shit to your animanga collection without having to be a bitchslave to the proxy monsters!

Enjoy abusing the system! Thanks pkChi for the tip!

Showing off my Shoujo Sect booty!

You know, I'd update this blog way more often if I could do less talking (typing) and just make this a pictorial blog… So I think I’ll try something like that today, or not.





So before I let you in on my not so secret "secret" let me show you the shiny new porn I was able to aquire by utilizing this "secret".




BEHOLD: (I've always wanted to use that for something) anyway, Behold yuri fans, the Shoujo Sect Part 1 DVD Box ooooooh.



It comes with the first OVA in beautifully censored DVD quality along with a CD single containing the OP and ED along with When the Saints Go Marching In because nothing says Hot Lesbian Threesome like Junior High band music! (Just in case you happen to be incredibly dense this is sarcasm or my lame attempt at it at least.)







It also has a t-shirt so that I can wear my love of Hentai Lesbian Harems with fangirl pride! I wasn't expecting the shirt so it was a nice little surprise!

Mi Cuarto de Otaku Terror!

So since I finally have a new camera phone I decided to take a few pictures of my Music & Manga room. This is where I do all of my scanning, eroge game playing and music listening. It’s a great little guest room and my personal hideaway from the Evil Cat Quartet of Destruction. (I’m looking at you Chido!) I’m not sure if my new “hobby” of yuri anime and manga collecting has elevated this sanctuary to the level of an “Otaku Terror Room” just yet but sadly, I think I’m getting there.





I’m especially proud of my Belinda bed sheets… I mean they’re freaking Belinda Peregrin bed sheets! You can’t get any gayer than that! Well, maybe you could if they made some retro 80’s Timbiriche bed sheets but, ewwww, the thought of that scares even me! (yet we all know I’d be braving the Narcos on the Border just to get a set IF such a monstrosity did, in fact, exist) I’m hopeless!


Here is my Latin pop music CD collection!

The only non-Latin music related music item in the room is that Madonna Rain picture-disc (Ah, I remember buying that at Hog Wild in San Antonio, it so reminds me of High School!).

Most of the A-list stuff is in the glass case on the bottom.
(hint: Love CD with lyrics and pop-up!)

Japanese bed sheets block out the Texas sun so deliciously!




I try to focus my figure collecting on yuri figures only, but some things are just too kawaii to ignore!


So yeah, here is a small taste of proof as to my fangirlishness! I am not sure if this is pathetically sad or sadly pathetic. But those Saki dakimakuras are just so awesome!

Sumi & Ushio's Bad Romance makes it to DVD!

You know, I told myself I wasn’t going to blog until I got a better camera to take photos with but… again I wasn’t being honest with myself. I don’t even know why I insist in being so honest with other people then dick my own self over for no real reason. Maybe it’s because I’m the most gullible of them all… sucker! Um, anyway… yeah, so with (hopefully) less random gibberish I would like to let all of /u/ super cute yuri fans know that the first DVD of Sasameki Koto is out!

BEFORE anyone asks, I’ll answer all (and by all I mean just the 1) the stupid questions you should already know the answer to. NO, it doesn’t come with English subtitles! Like with most Japanese DVD releases it does NOT come with English ANYTHING!!!


It does however come with a nice 3 disc capacity collector's box sure to please the otaku in all of us!

This DVD comes with episode 1 and 2 along with a text-less opening and audio commentary.

The retail cost for the DVD is 6,090 yen but who actually pays retail in this day and age. You can get this from Amazon.co.jp for about $45.00 and I’ve been told HMV.co.jp had it for pre-order a few weeks ago for a little less.


So if you’re like me and have a soft spot for incredibly stupid lesbians that love each other in a way that makes Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance seem like the perfect theme song scuttle your butt over to your Japanese online store of choice and order volume one of Sasameki Koto today (and if you have insane amounts of money to blow, pre-order the other 5 DVDs while you’re at it!

Kannazuki no Miko DVD BOXSET from Japan - More money on the Mikos!



I bought the Kannazuki no Miko 神無月の巫女 Destiny of the Shrine Maiden DVD on Amazon.co.jp ages ago but never blogged about it because well, I didn’t feel like taking pictures of it… and honestly I still don’t but with some time to kill before I can run to FedEx to pick up my latest box of yuri goodies from Nihon I decided to take out the camera phone and snap a few shots


The latest Kannazuki no Miko DVD release from Japan caught my eye for two reasons:


1. The cover art was sugoi and

2. According to the kannaduki website it came with the English dub.


Naturally, like the raving idiot that I can be when struck with the compulsive urge to shop I assumed that meant it ALSO had the English subtitles as well.


>{Niiiitttttt}< WRONG!


While it does come with glorious 5.1 it does not have English subtitles so if you’re a sub over dub fangirl like myself or one of the hearing impaired you’ll need to hold on to your Geneon DVD’s a little while longer. (or get the new Sentai release when it comes out!)


The DVD comes with a booklet seen here, and 3 DISCS containing all 12 episodes and the usual “extras”.

As mentioned above I bought this DVD BOXSET from Amazon.co.jp at about $90 USD or ¥8,839 yen. So it cost me about $30.00 a DVD but just look at that cover art!






And as you can see from the self-indulgent picture below, it makes a nice addition to my pathetically limited KnM collection. (T.T) Note to self: must make more money to blow on yuri!

Nanoha & Fate Gutto - Kuru Figures Come Out to Play

Fresh from Japan via two BIN eBay auctions my favorite ambiguously gay Magical Girls... er, let me correct that, mega lesbian Magical Women have arrived.


When I first saw the
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Gutto Kuru collection by CM's Corporation I was in awe. Who wouldn’t love over 8 inches (21cm) of fully pose able NanoFate lovin’? Yunoha fans need not respond since that question was rhetorical… moving right along. I had seen some of the "interesting" poses that otaku were putting Signum in and I just kept thinking… I need Nanoha and Fate like that.


My only real complaint with these figures is that Fate does not come with Bardiche in regular device mode. However, how much can I really bitch about that when she comes with Riot Zanbar and Riot Blades?


I'm seriously thinking about getting Hayate and her Knights Gutto Kuru figures sometime in the future just to be a complete-ist and with the new Signum Agito Unison version coming out I have a feeling CM’s Corp. will be getting a nice percentage of my hardly earned money!

Yuri in my RosaVam? - The succubus shows the snowwoman some love!

This is old news to Rosario + Vampire fans that are following the manga as it’s released in Japan but to those of you that are waiting for the VIZ translated releases this is a SPOILER of the ZOMG girls kissing’ kind so please avert your eyes if you don’t want to end up tainted!

In the 12th chapter of Rosario + Vampire II everyone’s favorite icy, stalker Mizore finds herself in a bad situation which leads her to commit the ultimate act of despair. Cue a certain winged vixen to her rescue and we end up with this.




OH yes! Tongue action and all... Sure Kurumu and Mizore are both VERY straight and will fight each other to the death over Tsukune but I don’t love the kiss because I’m hoping the girls will dump the silly human boy and go gay on us. (Although, in my fangirl fantasies I would LOVE for exactly that to happen!) I love this kiss because of what it symbolizes. While some could argue that this scene was put in just to titillate us, contextually speaking, it not only fits the story well but shows us just how close the girls in Tsukune’s harem have become (in a purely NON SEXUAL WAY) to each other. And also how in an instant an act that once made you feel worthless can make you feel precious. Way to go Kurumu! Proving once again how blue haired girls are just so full of win! ;)
