I can’t get enough boxes.

About time! My Melty Blood set is complete! And with this, my expensive January haul, peaking at over 450 Euros, is over.

…not that I did not order anything after that anymore. This week, I got AQUA Volumes 1 and 2…

I had pre-ordered Akiha and Kohaku around January 11th, and HLJ shipped them around February 15th. Today it’s the 6th of March… Heck, SAL is slowpoke.jpg. But at least I saved 10 Euros, for not having them shipped with EMS.

So anyway, here’s Akiha.

OOPS! I didn’t do it! XD

Much better… maybe :P

Now, it’s Kohaku’s turn.

So far for the Melty Blood figurines. I must say that the quality of these figurines is really great, I absolutely love them. I wonder if there will be a fourth series… Perhaps white/black Len, Miyako? Mecha-Hisui? Perhaps even Sacchin??? (isn’t it sad ;_;)

Here are finally group photos under somewhat better lighting conditions (finally found a way to correct it a bit…) (sorry Ciel T_T)

Good thing it’s over now… I hope. I’m slowly running out of space there on my shelf.

So. As I was saying, I could not resist ordering the AQUA manga because of my recent ARIA fandom… Please don’t make me buy the ARIA soundtracks. I kid.

These two volumes are indeed Tokyopop. At first, I feared ordering those because of the horrendous font they used on the cover (to differentiate their release from ADV’s), but I still gave it a go. I was pretty confuzzled when I got them with the original font…

Of course. Tokyopop also has a branch in Germany, and since ADV did not release there, they were able to use the original font. Yatta~
Yet, I really want to get the original manga someday. Because I can imagine a lot of the original feel is lost in the German translation… blergh.

Anyway ARIA Volumes 1 and 2 are under way. T_T The expenses won’t stop… OH SNAP! I forgot I ordered ARIA Posterbook 3 yesterday on amazon jp… looooool
