I kind of figure I'm being paranoid but I just want to know other people's experiences to quell my paranoia. I'm starting to purchase manga from Japan over Amazon, I've purchased them in "new" condition but seem to notice sometimes the edges being frayed and sometimes the cover of the book having scratches on it even though the paper cover doesn't have them. This just leads me to think I'm being given "used" goods, although the binding of the book is tight which means it hasn't been opened to be read. What's other peoples experiences with purchasing books from Japan/Asia? Are these just signs of international travel and I'm just being paranoid?

I've had issues like that when buying from European amazon, but not from Japan.
Bumped edges can be expected from shipping, but the scratches sound weird.

Got some more stuff in! Been sitting on this package for a couple weeks.
First up is a matching Mikoto nedoroid and a Christmas outfit/body. Pretty cute match I'd say, and just in time for Christmas. Kind of annoyed by the stand, but I guess that's standard.
Next is the preowned PSP Index game plus Mikoto, and at first glance I was pretty creeped out. It's probably the long thick neck plus small head that does it. After fiddling around for a while, it grew on me a bit. The game is still sealed, which is good. Kind of feels like I'm getting some closure, since the PSP Railgun + Kuroko was one of my first figure purchases (and just over a year ago).
Stand is just terrible though. Barely goes in at all. I had to force it so hard I was afraid of breaking something. Fails the blacklight test too.
For last there's a Megumin eyepatch and two calendars, of which neither calendar was what I expected. I though the Youjo Senki one was going to be a desk calendar, while the 2hu one would be a more standard one. They're both very large and filled with nice art, so I'm not too bothered. I'm only worried about how I'm supposed to change months. I guess I have to tear off a page every month, but what can I do with the pages afterwards?

After a few months, this finally arrived along with Kuro. This looks pretty damn good too.
The hair is very detailed along along with the rest of her head. The ears have depth inside of them where the fuzz comes out. Her drills come to small strands instead of staying thick all the way down. The headband even has nice ribbons on them that aren't solid on the inside of the loops.
The guitar actually has strings attached to it instead of them being painted onto it. You can even give here a pick which goes into her right hand. The upper clothing is obviously well detailed too with all the wrinkles and creases. Another cool detail is the thigh highs squeezing down on her thighs with some skin bulging out. Or how the fabric wrinkles near her bent knee and at the feet at it goes into her shoes.
The base is pretty basic though it's not bad at all. Overall it's fantastic.

Kuro is next. I like the way they did the fur with this one. She's posed slightly different than what the box shows and she has a more happy expression instead of mischievous. Her hair may not be as detailed as Cyan's but I still like it. My only complaints with her head are the bow, which could look better, and could have added a little more depth to her mouth.
Meanwhile the body looks nice. The skirt can be removed but I haven't bothered to take her top off yet. What surprised me is that this doesn't have panties. The belt and skirt are the only things covering her up. It's hard to decide if I like Miyu or Kuro. They both look great.

>wood preservation
I don't know if this is how the Nips would do it, but a tried and true way is to torch the outer surfaces of the wood until black, use a wire brush + sand paper to remove the outer layer of black char (?), wipe clean, brush on some quality linseed oil or linseed oil/beeswax mix and let it dry. A more nigger-tier way that is useful on things such as outdoor fences is to treat the wood with used motor oil; It will last fucking ages. Also interesting is that wood that has been thoroughly smoked (imagine roof beams that have been sitting above a firepit for many years) become waterproof.

None of these houses have bedrooms. I think they just layout the futon wherever there's space and sleep there. Then they put them away in the morning. It's a very clever way to save space.
No.771878
>>771859
I like that. Not sure traditional is the right word, but it feels traditional. The sleeping rooms in other pages show 4 or more futons all lined up nicely. Its like the family all sleeps in the same room and all eat in the same room together as well. The family as a unit and as a valuable thing really shows in the layouts. Even the smaller homes do not have bathtubs at all because the family is expected to use the public bath which fits with a strong tightly knit community. Continuing from this its natural to fear, loathe, and despise foreigners or anyone not fitting in to family/community behaviors. What if they bring some plague? The west could really learn from this. End of digression.
Are there any 2 story designs? Since they show the dimensions of a European person, does the book show any western inspired designs? In picture 11 next to the entrance, what is the ante room? The tea rooms are serious. Does the book talk about why the whole house is effectively on short stilts? Is the only heat source in the whole home the fireplace? I'm sorry for being so excited about a house
No.771978
>>771785
Yeah the living room is usually the living/eating/sleeping room in smaller houses. It doesn't show the diagrams of the second story. I'm guessing the full unabridged book does. Also that is more of a kitchen + veranda/hallway. Rooms are usually connected to a veranda/corridor for ventilation and access. The winding hallways that you always see are a consequence of the modular building technique. Where at first the house may start off small, but over time more and more rooms and adjacent verandas are basically lincoln logged to the house. Also the speckled floor patter in the blueprints are compacted bare dirt.
>>771836
There's no furniture descriptions or wood preservation techniques in the (abridged)book. This book has more furniture related stuff. It might ave what you're looking for >>770648. There's also only this picture of a few toilet layouts. Which is surprising to me since, if I'm not mistaken, the traditional Japanese toilet is one of the most refined parts of the house.

>why is the house on stilts?
Its simple and modular. The foundation (being literally holes filled with rocks) allows the shifting to resist earthquake damage.
>fireplace?
Yeah only the fireplace for heat. Japanese houses are freaking cold. It's a side effect of the house basically being a wooden skeleton with paper walls to prevent the entire place from into a pile of mold in the summer. But also because of that, there's enough ventilation to have a fire pit and not die from CO poisoning.

Also of note are the single and double wide sliding doors. Just from some of those designs you can see how those almost endless hallways of doors through rooms happen.

So C93 has begun. What did you guys grab or order? Some of the music circles I hoped would put out some new music didn't but I still got a few CDs. C92 had lots of jazz and relaxing music but this time there was a ton of pop, house, and EDM which I'm not a fan of. DDBY made another Touhou Bartender and there's more comfy folk music from Ringing Volcano.
As for doujins, there were a good amount of paizuri centered works which was one of the main things I was looking for though no Facominn who also makes some good paizuri-only doujins. There's a massive amount of FGO and Azur Lane which have been putting out doujin-bait characters left and right. There was some loli here and there but barely any monster girl material. And I couldn't find any vore centered doujins which was disappointing. Besides that there were a few pantyhose focused works which I definitely picked up.

There's this cool rhythm based hack and slash game at 49:37 as well. Touhou 15.5 at 1:07:02. 1:12:00 is a silly Touhou theft game where you try to have the most stuff before the time runs out.

Just came across pictures of this lovely Lum figure. Not sure if it's a GK or a legit scale; but I'm definitely keeping my eye on it.

Apparently it was a one off for a Rumiko's exhibition.

Bit of a late Christmas present.

Im done with Buyee. Took me a while to learn how it works best and if not used properly you get fucking robbed. Its only worth it if you buy (not auction) more than $200 and choose a cheap shipment. Otherwise you'll be spending 60 for S&H for a 40 dollar bunch. Granted that did include for me EMS and consolidation but I should have waited more for my last purchase to consolidate it even more and would have saved 25 or so American burgers.

Buyee's consolidation process is bullshit. I ended up paying just as much as I would've if I didn't combine them.

Is that commissioned art anon? Would be nice to see the actual paint on the canvas if you can take a higher quality image.

Unfortunately no. It's a massed produced piece. I'll dig out my camera and take a decent pic with that instead of just using the phone.

Closer and better pictures. I don't know how to describe the finish; it's definitely not a paint on canvas piece. It's almost as if the artwork was printed onto the canvas and then it was attached to the internal frame.

The only ones I've gotten are the SEs of Nichijou, and both seasons of Sound! Euphonium. Figs are my main buys.

Has anyone ever ordered anything from Kanojo Toys or otonaJP? Was wondering if I could use them as an alternative to NLS since they shutdown international shipping.

I recently made a purchase from otonaJP. Haven't received it yet, but that's because I took the cheaper 14-30 day shipping. They seemed alright, and had a couple of free items during the holidays (though they seemed cheap already). Had a 50% off thing too at the time.

I've ordered from OtonaJP, no problems with them and everything arrived in good condition. They threw in some Japanese lollies with a thank you card too.

I'm a sucker for velcro patches and I'm mad at myself for finding pic 2 after it sold out everywhere.
I wish crapcom would make ones for monster hunter again.

Why is this allowed. Just got a 1000jpy shipping invoice for a 600jpy keychain.
