Heh, I'm in the opposite boat; I have all 2WR coming. This was before I got my Anko order, so I didn't realize how much I liked their 2WT (at least in terms of feel, can definitely notice the grain in your shots.)

Hmm, I'd say at least 4-5 versions of Sena. The two mail order versions, C81, My Wife, and a Comic 15 event or something, I think. You end up going with all 2WT for the order?

Nope, just the one. ^^

Yeah, I definitely prefer their more explicit works, but it seems to be half and half; we've just been spoiled with the recent ones like Miku, Homura, and the IS chicks. Quite a few of their works are actually fairly tame in that regard though, and just have some non-spread goodness. I still really like the cover though, and I'll say it again that my favorite part is probably the way her panties ride up her crotch a bit.

Oh, I see why you thought I bought two. I just cropped both images a bit and combined them into one.

As much as I love AnkoKoubou's absurdly explicit works, I can definitely appreciate their tamer (though still arguably pretty explicit) works. I'm definitely happy I didn't decide to sit out on the Aria cover. ^^



I especially love the way the panties ride up on the backside.

Hmm, was thinking about picking up the Kanu when it hit Mandarake the other day but didn't want to pay 18k; I'll definitely have to consider it. I'd still like to pick up the Kamidori Eliza, but it was stock sales so I wonder if it's still available.

Yeah, if that's the case, I mention it's pretty similar to Mandarake. They can keep track of their online stock pretty well through the automated system, but if an item sells in the physical store they may not realize it's gone until the go looking for it to pack it up.

You're definitely making these stores sound awesome, willowywicca. I just need to stop buying covers for a few months so I can save up for a trip to Japan. >.>

Looks like stock goods to me. You can add them into your cart (up to ten, strangely.) I guess it's possible they may sell out, but generally that's an indication that the item is past a preorder period, they've received the item, and they still have some in stock. Or it could be a revolving item that is printed to order by the circle; generally speaking most do a limited window order, but Dakemakura keeps most of their covers available all the time, so it isn't out of the question that others do it too. The worst case scenario is that you order some of the items and they inform you that they don't have any left in stock, but honestly, you should be fine.

Yeah, D-Stage is definitely legit; they're similar to Toranoana or W-Canvas, a lot of circles use them. They don't ship internationally as far as I'm aware.

vietxmikey: Have some examples? Usually you'll see a preorder range and a button to preorder; if you don't see the button they're generally not available. However, sometimes they'll have stock after a preorder, but there's almost always a order button.

As far as I know, D-Stage is a consignment shop only; anything they carry was sent to them by the manufacturer/circle. Given your question, I'd say it's definitely best to contact the circle because they're the only ones that would be able to tell you one way or the other, I think.

Yeah, Google translate can make a mess of everything. I doubt D-Stage would sell any damaged products, and if you look at all the other items done by the circle, you can see that the message on every cover they've done. If you're still worried about it, you could try sending a message on Twitter to the circle; I've seen him reply a few times in English, and it might help clear some things up... maybe.

I haven't the slightest, but I honestly wouldn't be that worried about it myself.

You have. :P They were the very first special order I did through a proxy.

Hmm, interesting. The Manufacturer isn't listed, but it's an 83/17% material blend, which is usually pretty close to the norm. I think Argyle uses that (or 85/15), but I guess the raw materials aren't the only thing to consider, or there would be little difference between say, A&J and P80.

Definitely like the Luka, though; I'm really pleased with the backside. On the front side, her head seems kinda small, but that could just be me. I still like it, though.

After the whole Clesta thing happened, I was pretty sure that she was going to pop up on Mandarake. Granted it wasn't a guarantee, but I'm glad I waited. I don't really have the money either way, given that I owe a lot to SMJ, but I was seriously tempted to pull the trigger on the 25k buyout. I probably would have had the seller actually provided a picture, but I'm glad that I didn't. ^^

Heh, so I'm definitely pretty happy with that. I saw it posted last night (on JP only) and emailed them straight away. They just added it a few hours ago and I swear I checked every few minutes to make sure it hadn't sold out. Saw it posted on the English site within 5 minutes of it going up, and bought it immediately.

On a very sour note, it appears as if IG's site is finally dead.



You're really one to talk. :P Essentially I'm spending money I don't have as it's going on a credit card I haven't made a serious payment on in some time. Though I have no idea why you care so much about my finances. :P

I've managed to secure my Anko Aria for 20k from Mandarake, so I'm pretty happy. ^^

Closed early, but they had some of the Carnelian cover up on the Stylus webstore: http://stylishstylus.cart.fc2.com/?ca=all

I contemplated putting an order in earlier tonight, but decided against it ultimately. They did just add two new covers, though - one of which I've had my eye on for several weeks. I think it's a limited stock thing, so I can only hope that SMJ gets the order in before they run out. On another note, according to Twitter, they'll be adding the Loli Bondage cover tomorrow night at around this time.

Actually looking over it, it appears that the new items might ship in July, so I guess it's not a limited preorder. I know that the stock they added a week or two ago was limited, but that was for items that had already been released, so that makes sense.

Ah, good to hear that. As I mentioned, I wasn't too worried as I really like Argyle's work and they haven't really disappointed me in the past. They can be hit or miss on the nether region, but it's never censored and they're still more detailed than most circles are willing to go. She just does really nice art, even if I wouldn't call it my favorite.

My Marks order just arrived at SMJ.

There are a couple of her up, in both the glasses/long hair versions.
