| 9:09am | No Zun at C75 | | | | Maybe I’m the last person to know this or something, but from the looks of it, Zun will not be showing up at C75. This means that all the other Touhou-related lines will be even longer. :ARGH: Source: Comiket catalog, this dude who i found on google |

| 9:09am | Belated Thanksgiving Thanks | | | | I am thankful to the gods of curry for bringing a second Go Go Curry location to Akiba, far more conveniently located to all the action. Maybe now I can actually manage to sit down next to a friend when I go there for lunch?! |

It looks like I’ll have to stick another one on now, maybe after... |
| 2:02pm | Kyoto International Manga Museum | | | | So you’ve finally saved up and made your pilgrimage to Japan, and figured you’d go to Kyoto so that you’d at least have something about “culture” to talk to your friends and family at home about. After two straight days of visiting temples, cafes, and shrines, you start... | | |

| 8:35am | Review: Akiba Days | | | | I’m sure most of the readers of this blog have already been exposed to Akiba Days, the illustrated guide to Akiba featuring the cast of School Days.

| 1:52am | Mindless Self Promotion: Morimura Yuji - NERV COMIC STRIP | | | | So basically forever ago, we got permission from the author of this clever webcomic, Morimura Yuji, to translate NERV COMIC STRIP, or as we have been calling it, Evanuts. After various delays that basically every fansub group run by college students runs into, it has finally been released. If you’re... |
| 2:34am | Super-belated event report: Comitia 85 | | | | Or as one of the circle cuts put it, “doesn’t it feel like we were just here?” 85. Comitia opened its doors this time around just one week after C74, on the upper level of Big Sight, so basically it was just a big ol’ PTSD-inducing funfest for me. I decided I’d only get... |
