elyusionJust spent $200 on Angelique stuff, will probably be spending more in a few days when I have to pay for shipping for the first $100 batch of stuff.
What did I get?
(Digital Purchases)
- Angelique (manga, yes the whole thing. applies to the other manga as well)
- Angelique Retour (manga)
- Angelique Retour ~Secret Side~ (manga)
- Yura Kairi Artbook ~Angelique 20th Anniversary~
(Physical Purchases)
- Angelique Gaiden vol. 1-4 (drama CDs, the whole series)
- Angelique Gaiden 2 vols. 1, 3, and 4 because 2 has disappeared off the face of the Earth apparently? No one is selling vol. 2. I wonder how I can be notified when someone does... (drama CDs)
- Angelique Memorial Book
- Angelique Special 2 Memorial Book
- Star Crown: Yura Kairi Angelique's Selected Art Book
It hurts badly to see the money leave my bank account, it really does. If you know me, you know I dislike spending money on frivolities and often manage to talk myself out of purchasing anything that's not food. But, Angelique obsession aside, I can justify this purchase as being for the greater good too. I'm going to have these on hand, make an Angelique fansite (maybe a general Neoromance fansite, depending on how things go), get better and better at Japanese, and I'll put all this stuff on there with translations as needed. They're out of print so no one should get mad, right? They better not. Snitches don't look.
I thought maybe this was all pointless, because if you are so into Angelique that you want to see all this stuff you probably already know Japanese. But I've decided knowing Japanese doesn't mean you always want to read it when someone else could translate it, nor does it mean having the money to buy one million books and magazines and discs. So I will still be useful. I think. I hope so!
So far I've looked through the 20th anniversary art book, and it's really so beautiful. Yura is an amazing artist. Her newer art, like for the 2025 calendar, is beginning to show signs of age... I can't explain it, but I can see it in Ikeno Koi's art too, as well as others. It's like it gets really stiff or something...? But yea, amazing art, lots I haven't seen yet. I'm excited to show it to others, but the tool to get these pages off Bookwalker requires Python knowledge or something, and I have exactly none, so... But I'll figure it out. Later, because I have a 5-page essay due tonight that I haven't started and also have no thesis for yet. I swear I will put all this stuff online. Although it might be a few weeks or months, because I'm prioritizing personal stuff on my website first, and then fannish pursuits. But I will do it. I will share these pictures, translate this manga, translate these OVAs if I'm feeling particularly insane, transcribe and translate the audio dramas, I'll do it all. Fuck the police. Angelique is awesome. Bottom text.
