[12] More goodies! Ultimate Lover!

Hello everyone!

Next up, 20 volumes from Ultimate Lover, a magazine from the D Official Fan Club of the same name. I got these in two separate orders, both containing 10 volumes. The first one contained the volumes 00 to 09, the second one from 10 to 19. I expected them to be A4 in size. Instead they are smaller, A5 in size.

When I found these two auctions, I wasn't sure if they would be actual physical magazines. According to the Tokyo staff from the proxy service I used to buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions, they did "believe" they would be physical, instead of digital copies. I bought them and fortunately they are the real magazines!

10 more orders to go!

Ultimate Lover volume 00 - 09

Ultimate Lover volume 09 - 19

[10] CURE Magazine Vol. 115

Konichiwa!

The latest addition to my collection, which I received a week ago, on May 7, is volume 115 from CURE (キュア) Magazine. This was the April issue from 2013. This edition features photos from their 10th Anniversary, wearing the outfits for the new style of Night-ship "D". The photos in the magazine are of great quality and show a lot of details, which will come in handy for future cosplays.

The website I bought it from included a few bonus items. Although not from D, free items are always nice. I received three postcards from bands soon to perform in Germany, which is where the shop is located. The bands being Satsuki, the GazettE and DEATHGAZE. Furthermore, I received a 2013 calendar and a card, both with an anime style mascot from the website. The mascot was on the front of the package too.

That's my entire collection, for now. I'm expecting a huge package full with D merchandise, but it seems to be delayed. It's at customs for a week now already while it only took three days for the package to arrive from Japan in the Netherlands.
