Yeah, I know the new volume of Douki-chan is released in May but I had to put them in this one because the next one... will take a while. Also, the topic's going to be different. We gotta pay more AFTER we sign up for a fanclub? What is even this madness?? lol me who is already deep in it

So for this run, as you can see, it's not a lot, I did not intentionally prepare for it, but I guess as I recently also signed up for the newly open Kitou Akari fanclub, I think I should also take this time to highlight some differences between hers and of course, the Minase Inori fanclub which I signed up so I can buy a calendar for this year lol. So you know, it's kind of like the Valentine Birthday Showdown but with membership cards lmao we'll talk more about them later

I guess this does count as a showcase of the stuff I follow nowadays so the title can be relevant now haha hey "Douki-chan" is no fanclub but if she opens an Instagram account just like that new DOAXVV character I won't even mind...

I would say, since I didn't review any photobooks of any sort in this one, I thought the unboxing would be more important, so I guess we shall focus on that more. So!

You see, my dad only sees wedding dress Akarin when he walks OUT of my room lmao

So in case you wondered what I really got on my birthday ie. I placed the order on the day itself (FYI it's 19th February) it's Minase Inori fanclub event goods!! Hey, the event did happen just that I didn't buy the tickets to watch the livestream so... why not support her in the next best way I can?? Yes from clear files to bromides to my recent addiction to posters because I also bought a poster holder in anticipation for this to arrive (just that I had to buy another one which is longer to support the landscape one to prevent them from coiling haha) and do you know they are magnetic based now and doesn't require a full frame and is non-adhesive based? Yeah, China does those things decently now lol OKAY to the actual stuff!

Also, this package included, for free, the recent copy of the fanclub newsletter, which arrived just in time because as you can remember when I received it on the December 2020 package, this is not just the continuation, but it's also covering recent events which... I guess the website already did wonders but in case you didn't read everything which I honestly didn't... haha

Next up, sitting on the other side of the fanclub fence, literally just opened shop in March 2021, it's Kitou Akari fanclub event goods!! Yes, it's THE FIRST fanclub event too, so that's new. Took her long enough to get a fanclub set up, took me long enough to sign up for it almost a month after it opened lol, and considering this is new, and if you recalled the last time we talked about Inorin's fanclub, this one... has a lot less to offer. For starters, the lack of historical catalogue is already evidence that you are wasting a good amount of monthly fees on her just to support the cause, but also because I love her (photos) too much (lol) and because it's relatively new, it's also monthly in subscription so I can quit anytime actually even right now, but I will not for another month just because they have long-term subscription rewards, which I would like to see my first for the 3-month continuous subscription. We shall see when that happens and after that but LET'S SEE THEM BROMIDES!! Haha also a couple of badges because why not and they don't have posters lol (You should've seen how much they wanted me to spend like minimum 8k yen to get an acrylic stand haha NOPE which explains the lack in abundance of goods seen below)

Also with this purchase, and also a disadvantage maybe for this fanclub, the membership card is optional so it's not included with the first membership charge which might be great (if you recall "Inori Machi" charges 1100yen for the card and a holder) BUT on the other hand they did not put in anything distinctive for the card. (In comparison, my membership number is on "Inori Machi" card which really makes it all worthwhile tbh) The case is too expensive to be worth keeping so I only got the card just because.

And if you are fine with her images on social media or are fine without her then leave me alone let me enjoy her a little longer haha

Last but not least, it's our regular and pre-ordered timely issue of "Ganbare Douki-chan" Vol.4!!! Yes, if you have followed my adventures buying these since last year, this is tights drawings and author Yomu-sensei's first and most popular manga work yet. It gained strong traction from posting them on Twitter too, and man the spiciness of the No-Face main guy chasing(?) the main girl who has nothing but cuteness (which I must argue is good enough) is just enjoying his work life because there be girls crowding ALL over him I won't say to what extent but you can see below to know lol

[As usual, you can follow the story along with fan translations on the author's official Twitter]

 

The series went from illustrations with minimal text to now full on manga I guess, so in a nutshell for this volume it's Douki-chan getting a chance to go to the beach thanks to the colleague giving the couple vouchers to a luxurious pool... not knowing what's ahead of them lol it's not only two vouchers btw lmao. This volume also introduced an even flatter kouhai but is more aggressive in nature towards the dude, but he can't jerk off to that so I wouldn't be as worried as... not-so-busty... Douki-chan... haha don't hit me

And that shall be it!! As mentioned in the recent Entertainment News post, I will be reviewing another Suruga-ya run which I must say, is really quick in its speed and I'm more surprised at the speed of this thing because I didn't choose the fastest delivery option and it delivered within a week so I'm pretty sure this upcoming... bulk of bromides will be coming in just in time for my long weekend so YES haha cya guys then.

P.S. Maybe I should sign up for Tachibana Rika's fanclub soon lmao man Kouno Marika where is your fanclub why does Takahashi Rie get one and you don't (lol)
