Friendpatine

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
but yeah, like, even if this is a guided tour so we wouldn't be able to visit many arcades in ikebukuro or anything for my weeb needs, i still WANT TO GO

๐๐๐๐ฆ
i wanna go to a character cafe.......

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
even if i hear the food is hit or miss sometimes

VIRGIN-SENPAI
the kirby cafe actually has excellent food too so that's number one haha

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
GASP GOOD.

yarn witch
me, looking at the butler cafe like "yeah maybe sometime before the heat death of the universe. if i save for a while. and actually put myself into studying the language. haha ... ha..
"


๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
yarn witch
: RIGHT?? just so many cool fun things....

yarn witch
right? like i stay looking at my amazon japan like small mountain of light novels and manga and just going "eventually."

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
No lie, I want to visit the Japan Pokemon Center at least once before I die

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
i want to see the Mewtwo in a tank exhibit


yarn witch
(like i'm repurchasing all of them because this was over the course of years of collecting and then letting them go bc space but idc)

VIRGIN-SENPAI
yeah whenever I get Japanese tankobons and look at the price on the back... usually 300-450 yen which right now is about 3 dollars, not fair lol

yarn witch
aaaa the pokemon center would be so cool

yarn witch
omg same

yarn witch
"how is this book like $9? what."

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
YEAH

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ


VIRGIN-SENPAI
10 is the bare minimum for a tankobon-styled english manga here

VIRGIN-SENPAI
usally more like 12-13

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
yup

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
i was gonna say, you'd be lucky to find one nowadays under 12

yarn witch
yep

yarn witch
one of the reasons i switched to digital for a lot of what i'm following. (and then i found webtoons and went "welp!")

VIRGIN-SENPAI
yeah I only collect like... 3 manga currently releasing right now, and they're all monthly, not weekly

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
yeah, i sub to viz and it's only 2/mo for their entire library so like

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
lol

yarn witch
i've got like a list of stuff i'd love to have full runs of, but they were dropped in english (publisher folded like midway through each series, but they're on mangadex so i'm not that mad).

yarn witch
wait $2/mo is stupid cheap.

yarn witch
better than amazon. "please pay [way more than i want for digital versions of a series]" me- "nah."

VIRGIN-SENPAI
there's one app that's a free read the first time, you only have to pay if you want to read it again

VIRGIN-SENPAI
that's how I read chainsaw man

yarn witch
i use mangadex for a lot of what i'm reading, and like everything else i read is on webtoon or tappytoon, so i just give myself $10/mo for a coin pack to unlock episodes as needed.

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
VIRGIN-SENPAI
: oooh

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
yarn witch
: and yeah, viz is super cheap and though i only use it to read MHA and SpyxFamily for right now, I know it's got way more stuff.

yarn witch
yeah i just finished subscribing to their viz tier. like i'd only need SJ for MHA if i got back into that. but also gestures to the anime and my still in s2 self

yarn witch
it's some case closed/detective conan "by the time i catch up this might be finished" nonsense
(but also lol detective conan won't end)

Parents give Roxy a ticket

๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
lmfao not for 3500 they won't

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
probably more since i'm going solo and booking with a partner makes the tickets cheaper

แดสษชสษชสแด๐ก๏ธ
Oh........ thatโs rude

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ
I MEAN, I DON'T BLAME THEM, 3500 IS A LOT OF MONEY

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
๐๐๐ท ๐
๐๐๐๐ฆ

๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐
