Another Nanoka! I have only seen this doujinshi once before, so I was excited about winning it, I can't wait for it to arrive :D
edit: Gosh, I love Nanoka - she draws the best Van/Hitomi hugs. Anyway, this is a very, very cute doujinshi - I lost track of how many times Van and Hitomi blushed LOL.
I also spotted some of the Endless Destiny series being sold by the same seller but the starting bid is 5,000 yen, which is just too expensive for me at the moment...

Purchased for USD $9 from ransky. Another great bargain from ransky. I mentioned before that I wanted to collect more doujinshi by Shiduki Michiru, so finding one for a good price - YAY! Hopefully my next Evangelion doujinshi by Shiduki Michiru will be a Mari-centric one, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see what I find for a decent price :)
edit: Shinji/Asuka are always so overwhelming (and unrealistically haha) cute in Shiduki Michiru's doujinshi. There's a seriously cute scene where they dance together and then trip over each other's feet resulting in Shinji and Asuka falling onto the floor - Asuka falls on top of Shinji of course :P

Purchased from yahoo japan (seller: ijn_cap2000) for 700 yen, total cost after deputy fees was USD $19.15. From what I've seen online, I really, really like the look of Aurora Vision's Gurren Lagann doujinshi - I'm hoping that I can collect Sentimental Flower too.
edit: Sigh, as usual, I always feel somewhat disappointed with 20 pages - simply not long enough! The art work inside is nice, and Simon/Nia are adorable so it's worth collecting.

Purchased from yahoo japan (seller: siva983) for 400 yen, total cost after deputy fees was USD $15.65. This is probably the 'newest' (in terms of when it was published) doujinshi that I own, I was actually kind of surprised that it went for only 400 yen, I thought for sure someone would bid against me.
edit: Love the front cover for this doujinshi! The art inside is great - fantastic clean lines, and I love the way all the characters are drawn. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more doujinshi by OVERCAT in the future.
