Mmmm gonna try to answer some of these questions:

1. Valentine's Day Death is a Soul Eater-only doujinshi event being held on 2/14 in Kawasaki City. It's basically a bunch of doujinshi artists getting together to sell Soul Eater doujinshi. There's also a cosplay contest.

2. There are a couple of Soul/Maka artists attending the event. If you go to http://4242.kill.jp/link.html and scroll down to where it says リンク協力サイト, you will see links to the websites of all of the artists attending. Click around until you find some Soul/Maka artists. I know there are a couple listed.

3. In terms of "totally unbelievable" doujin prices... I hate to say this, but those prices aren't unbelievable at all. In fact, if you're looking at doujin sellers on ebay right now, the prices are very fair. The popular Soul/Maka books are worth anywhere from $10 to $40, depending on the book, and then when you add the inevitable $25-30 shipping fee on top of that... What's deceptive is that certain ebay sellers claim that you're getting "free shipping" when you actually are paying for shipping costs. But other than that? If, say, you're in the United States and you pay $30 for a copy of Largo from a Japanese seller on ebay, with the shipping included in that cost, then you are paying a perfectly fair price. If you can snag a Miya Katsura doujin for $50 from a Japanese seller with the shipping cost included, then you're actually getting a bargain price!

I know those prices are high, but they're also fair. That's just what the books are worth, and it unfortunately costs an arm and a leg to ship items from Japan. You probably aren't going to find anybody willing to sell those books for less than they're worth. You CAN, however, download pretty much all of the popular doujin out there, either from this comm or on shibusen, so there's that at least.

aww...
thanks for the answer

Q2 ) yup i already checked from the list, only found small of them
do you think some of participant attend the event but it not show in the link list...?

Q3) oh i see now...
I'm still looking some title from Miya Katsura ( i guess i didn't find any in ebay right now) maybe i can try looking it later...
i seldom dealing from online shop specially ebay, be honest mostly i only buy from toranoana and yahoo auction with my friend help ( i found in yahoo action some seller sell maka x soul doujinshi expensive)
example :
-sonorite by kiss start bid 4,980 yen without shipping and transfer
-Rendezvous Pitch by niwatori start bid 6300 yen without shipping and transfer
do you think it a little expensive for one title book? ( i don't mind if it around 2000 yen each book but far from that, errr i still think about my own budget ^^!)

aa.. then ask a little advice again ( hhmm i look you really professional at this )
i'm interest with this title
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soul-Eater-Doujinshi-Rughadjeen-x-Crona-Yoru-Otomo-/120750482585?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1d4a2499

the title said the name of book "Soul Eater Doujinshi (Rughadjeen x Crona) Yoru to Otomo" but the cover really different from the title
is that possible the seller put wrong cover..?

yup i'm understand how it can be so expensive
i can't blame it...the artist it self stop make any doujinshi it mean the change to get the old series really small and it really fair to put extra price ^^!

awww..thanks
i joined 2 days ago and saw many people kindly sharing SE doujinshi ( i noticed most of doujinshi shared by you :D )
I'm really happy you share all of them :D

That is DEFINITELY the wrong cover. Scroll down and you'll see the real cover posted in the item description.

Argh, that's disappointing.
