Ohlala Yaoi!
My long awaited Shizaya doujins have arrived!!! This is my very first time of ordering something from Japan and I'm quite nervous at first because I don't have any experience in it.
I used the service of Eiwa Manga Store, a Manila-based online shop because I don't have a credit card.
Anyways, being here in the Philippines is a very big disadvantage in terms of shipping fees.
All the six doujins I bought is only worth PHP1,500 or about US$35 including the local shipping within Japan.
All the doujins are from Mandarake and worth 200 Yen each so that's about PHP 126 each.
It's actually quite cheap.
But the problem is the shipping fee to the Philippines. It's worth PHP1,300+ for a SAL unregistered mode of shipment.
I was wary at first by using SAL because the goods can be lost but it was actually pretty efficient. It only took two weeks after I settled my payment with Eiwa for it to arrive. I didn't avail of EMS because of the huge risk of being taxed more by the corrupt customs officials. I received a text from the local post office that a parcel has arrived for me and I went to simply get it there.
All the doujins are by NALIS..it's a really nice feeling to be able to support the mangaka,ne?
The packaging...
I really like her art although Inumog's art is also awesome :D
Of all, I really love this cover.
Love this,too!
All of this will be put in my special cabinet for safe keeping, hehe.
I found some translated doujins of this story arc like Exogenesis.
Shizaya is really full of sexual tension. Shizuo hating Izaya to death may actually mean that he loves him very much! haha.
PS.
I'm going to be 19 this upcoming Tuesday (talk about celebrating on the eve Obon Festival with my birthday! )
Hopefully, my aunties and parents will give me gifts (I'm talking about money here,haha) so that I can order again,haha.
