Got a 📦 in from 🇯🇵! Got Afternoon issue 6, 2011 featuring VS chapter 73. I had never seen this cover before and ended up way overpaying for it in a bidding war... Next up is Look Back and the exclusive Original Storyboard given out at screenings in Japan. And the ending with Medarot DVDs!

Had the absolute pleasure to see Black Country, New Road tonight in a sold out Paradiso, Amsterdam. Especially appreciated the moment they took halfway to reflect on the fact that they've sold out the most iconic and important venue in Amsterdam two nights in a row. "It's definitely not lost on us."

It's... complete. After more than a decade of following this series, I finally have the final volume. What a journey it's been. It's crazy to look back and remember what a different person I was when I started reading it. Thank you Vinland Saga, forever. 🌾

I'm back from my US trip. Was a really great three weeks. Had the chance to meet up for the first time with my best friend that I met online years ago, which was amazing. She gave me my Kagurabachi mug that I asked her to buy for me from the M+ store, so that's being used immediately!

And finally a pick up I'm super stoked about! Got three of the rarest Medarot manga volumes and I got them ridiculously cheap. Very happy!

I picked up some Pokémon games as they're dirt cheap in Japan. The Pearl save has some cool stuff on it as well.

Small 📦 from 🇯🇵! This time around I got some Ao Ashi merch as well as two copies of the final chapter issue (I ended up winning both auctions I bid on lol).

So yeah... Got an absolute stupid deal on this. 5 euros each. Very happy to own this and finally being able to watch all the behind the scenes and extras without having to scour for them on YouTube. I already have the blurays and 4k extended editions, but they don't have all the extras...

My votes for the 2025 Tsugimanga awards in the print and web categories! Absolutely STACKED lineup this year, wish I could've picked more than three, but these 6 are definitely my favourites right now.

After 10 years, the serialization of Ao Ashi came to an end today. What an absolutely incredible, generational run. I'm so blessed to have been able to work on the scanlation every week for the past two years. The series is already licensed in many languages, please consider picking up a volume.

After almost a month delay it's finally here! The first volume of Steel Ball Run, my absolute favorite Jojo part and one of my favorite manga series in general.

Also, just want to brag about my 200 iq take that the symposium announcement was correct and that the series was supposed to finish before July 19th, but that Yukimura-sensei missed another deadline...
...which was just confirmed by Yukimura-sensei himself haha. (translation in alt-text)

And finally some Medarot manga. Got a second set of Medarot 5 to scan as well as a complete set of Medarot G (already had the first volume, but was missing the second)! And that's all for this time.

Next up is the elusive and pretty hard to find Shaman King game for the WonderSwan Color! A handheld not many people are familiar with. I've been playing this one on my emulation handheld and I was finally able to find it complete in box for a decent price.

Got a small 📦 in from 🇯🇵! First up, Vinland Saga DVD box 2. The only one I still missed in my collection. Finally found a listing that wasn't outrageously expensive.

I finally got Vinland Saga book 14! I ordered it along Steel Ball Run volume 1 as they released on the same day. Unfortunately the supplier pushed SBR vol 1 shipment back 3 weeks... But thankfully they split the shipments so I didn't have to wait on VS. Still... an empty spot remains...

Back home from my holiday in Norway, visiting my girlfriend. Of course I couldn't leave without picking up some more manga in Norwegian, seeing it's my target language. Unfortunately they didn't have volume 5 at the Outland in Oslo! But I'm still having a blast learning while reading One Piece.

So excited to dive into this! Had to wait a week due to my holiday (oh woe is me 😛) but I finally got it. I know absolutely nothing about the plot other than that it's another Holly Gibney novel and she's no favorite King character so I'm excited!
