'The website tempted me and I did click'
amazon.jp is evil incarnate.
Order it now! clickety-click impulse buyer's paradise/ short road to ruin. My last VISA bill made sad reading, except not. All the items that are usually restaurants were now amazon.jp, so I'll call it a fair trade. Anyway, the September extra edition of Nemuki magazine is currently winging its way to me. (Nemuranai yoru no kimyo na hanashi- Strange tales for sleepless nights- which abbreviation would be Sleepstra in English.) The Ima Ichiko special with sensei's comments on her favourite stories. How could I resist? I only hope her comments are more to a gaijin's taste than Japanese comments usually are: at least better than Minekura's 'And for this one I used coptic #24 pencil and wash pastels.' Even though I know better than to expect analysis from a culture that doesn't do our kind of analysis, I'm hoping there'll be some input on how she conceives of her characters and what-all.
And if not, *I* can analyze on the basis of the stories she picked as her favourites.
Meanwhile dammit there exists a Nemuki magazine that publishes Ima Ichiko, Hatsu Akiko and Udo Shinohara. And me with two pricey pricey subscriptions already. I calculate that ordering single copies from amazon.jp comes to pretty much the same per issue as a subscription from Iwase, so I could *maybe* just order the ones with 100 Demons stories- which then obviates the joy of getting the tank and discussing with friends. Mmh. Shall think more on this.

Squee!
(Short WA after no chapter last time? How sad.)
I'd thought about a subscription to Chara but it sounds as hit and missish as Hanaoto was when I was in Japan. And I've got these two monthly shounen thumpers at $20 plus each eating me out of house and home.
