| 1:11am | Artbook Check! II: Da Capo / Cardcaptor Sakura | | | | It's been a while since my last - not to mention only - artbook post, not in the least because I don't do much purchasing of obscure anime goods; somehow, my sense of reason has managed to continue outstripping the little anime fan in my head that screams "moeeeeee~" at every figurine, pencil board,... | | |
