Velvet Skin ~ INO Art Works (R18)

Description: Veteran bishoujo game designer INO presents the definitive compilation of his work! Packed with luscious erotic illustrations, Velvet Skin’s full color pages span the career of one of the unquestioned masters of Japanese “H” game art. His signature style is represented here in the artwork from eleven games, featuring not just game CG but rare promotional art, poster and telephone card illustrations, rough production sketches, and other previously unreleased material. Included illustrations run the gamut from scenes of passionate lovemaking, harem sex, breasts from the small to the enormous, paizuri, fellatio, lingerie, and sexy pinup art galore! At 208 A4 size pages this is a weighty tome indeed, and one no erotic artbook collector should do without! From Core Magazine.

Review: This is a dedicated artbook and lots of people will want to get it. But so far I cannot find anything about it. Please inform me if you have any thing related to it. Also, you can get a preview on Heisei Democracy (NSFW).

Figures

Signam 1/7 Figure by Alter Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS

Description: Enjoy the latest addition to the collection of figures based on the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime series. This Alter creation is features the character Signam with her trademark purple hair. Made of PVC she’s fully painted and ready to display right out of the box to show off for you to admire. Excellent detailing with a silver metal like finish on the armor and weaponry, shading and ripples on the clothing making her appear as if she were a 3D photograph captured in midair. A fantastic 1/7th scale PVC statue that measures 28 cm (11 inches) for you to cherish.

Review: I posted an article regarding to this figure recently and you might want to have a look there. Check out the review.

Video Games

Fate/Unlimited Codes [SP Box]

Description: The fight for the holy grail spreads over from the arcades to your home. Drawn by Type Moon, and with a script written by Natsu Kinoko, the game spots an original storyline and is acted out by the star studded cast of voice actors. All characters are rendered in 3D but the system maintained the speed factor of 2D fighting games. Besides punches and kicks, the servant’s sure kill attacks and their special weapons are all included in this fighter. Harness their power and fight for your dearest wish. In addition to the existing elements in the arcade version, the PS2 edition comes with more scenes, player characters to the roster and many other goodies.

Review: Few body knows but I’m truly a video game fans. My favorite game on PlayStation2 is Grandia III by Square-Enix, followed by Final Fantasy XII and .hack//G.U. (I’m writing something about this series, will put it up when finish). Some people are crazy about the Saber Lily 1/7 PVC figure now (I’m one of them).

CD

May’n Street

This is a fans oriented product I assume. If you like the Anime series Macross Frontier, if you like Sheryl Nome, you’d like to have a try. Check out the review here.

1. Wishlist Weekly! Vol.1

This post Wishlist Weekly! Vol.2 was written originally at TheAkiba.

Though Google Ads are no more getting in your way, the affiliate programs were left. Currently TheAkiba has two affiliate sponsors, Jlist.com and Play-Asia.com, one is located in Japan and another in Hong Kong. The two of them are both focusing on Anime, Comic and Game stuffs (ACG for short) and are those rare sponsors really fit well with the contents of my site.

The Wishlist Weekly ! idea comes from the recommendation of Jlist.com and I’d like to implement it as another way to grow profits. Someone may get sucked on this but you may just consider it as a recommended buy list or something else, and really if you don’t like it, just navigate away and remember to poke around on other part of the site, that’s fine ^^. I’m not persuading my friends to buy things via my affiliate links but just consider it as something I really want to buy (truly, I won’t put it up if I don’t like it). Sounds like a rountine declaration but it’s cool to me. And okay, here we go.

Artbook

The visual fan book ~ Encyclopedia of Goddess and Fairies — Megami Yousei Jiten visual Fan book (R, R18)

Description: This is a fabulous Encyclopedia artbook created and illustrated by a group of talented artists, focuses on Goddess and Fairies. In this book, you’ll enjoy 100 pages and more than 200 beautiful full color illustrations featuring legendary goddess and fairies, illustrated with very cute and sexy designs, perfect if you like Moe 2D sexy girls from Japanese animation.

Review: The cover is illustrated by Miwa Yoshikazu (美和美和) and the inside may be a little too sexy for some friends. R18 recommended.

Magazines

Dengeki G’s Magazine Dec 2008 (Highly recommended. For all age, probably ^^)

Description: A great magazine that anime fans across the world will enjoy, this is Dengeki G’s, a magazine published each month which brings you information and lots of pictures on the cutest bishoujo anime and game characters in Japan. The girls are what’s important in Dengeki G’s, only this and nothing more, and each page brings you more and more cute girls from Japan’s popular anime, games, manga and more. Includes pages and pages of character designs excellent for reference and contains a fan art section and more. Each issue comes with a bonus present!

In the Dec 2008 Issue: Special focuses on Marriage Royale (also special book included), Da Capo II D.C. II, Tora Dora, Fate/unlimited codes and more. Also included, a beautiful pencil board from Marriage Royale.

Review: If you know me well you won’t get confused why I recommend this one. I love Hiro Suzuhira’s works, all of them! Seriously I’ll buy this myself. Why? Don’t you see there’s a special book about Galgame novel Marriage Royale which is illustrated by Hiro Suzuhira and Aoi Nishimata included? This is an old issue for last month (or last year) but I don’t really care since the world is already a fast changing one ever. Like the above preview/cover of the issue, check it out in the article I posted months ago: Hiro Suzuhira & Aoi Nishimata: New Work from G’s Magazine.

Figures:

Shuffle Memories 1/8 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figure: Shigure Asa (Out of Stock)

Description: The sculptors of Kotobukiya have recreated a memorable scene from the adult game Shuffle! Memories. Those who have played the game and followed Shigure Asa’s route would have the scene imprinted in their heads. By gathering illustrations drawn by Suzuki Hiro, the game’s character designer, the sculptors have brought the scene alive to the most realistic degree. One of the greatest advantage of bringing that scene to the 3D world is that fans can admire Shigure Asa from all angles, from the provocative front view to the exciting back view.

Review: Asa again, Hiro Suzuhira again, seems like I’m kind of mania of Hiro Suzuhira. I’ve brought this figure before and it’s now out of stock both in Jlist and Play-Asia (probably for a long time). Sounds like some kind of Asa magic. This is a must buy one to me.

Otaku Stuffs:

Yuiko Kurugaya Oppai Mouse Pad ~ Little Busters Ecstasy

Description: From the visual novel (dating sim) “Little Busters Ecstasy” by Key comes this ‘oppai mousepad’ that we’re all excited about. Not only does it features some excellent artwork from the anime, it also features wacky ergonomically enhanced 3D breasts to keep your wrist supported just right for your computing needs. Measures 10.5 inches by 9 inches. This mousepad features Yuiko Kurugaya.

Review: This is evil, I mean, truly. I think I only dare to use it when I’m alone ^^. PS. the pattern is a little bit different from the image above, check it out yourself.
