I’m surprised I actually did one of these things. Not that it was too difficult or anything, but because I was too lazy to look up how to do it.
And yes, these are the photos I use for “Kirino’s Corner.”
This was a strange purchase. Manaka was the only nendoroid I bought last weekend that I wasn’t planning on buying and was the only thing I bought in the dealers room on Sunday. Also, I had never played Love Plus and probably never will unless it receives an English translation.
But there she was, at a fairly reasonable price. All of the Love Plus girls were for sale, but I was drawn to this one because of her ponytail as I have too many twintails in my collection.
Have any of you ever had that impulse purchase of a figure from a series you had never played, watched, or read?
Yes, this happened just a couple of days ago. Things seem to be breaking down a lot for me lately.
Shakugan no Shana is owned by Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito.
That must be some good tea.
Black Rock Shooter is owned by Ryohei Huke.
K-ON! is owned by Kakifly.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is owned by Magica Quartet/Aniplex.
Shakugan no Shana is owned by Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito.
Strike Witches is owned by Humikane Shimada.
So I was fairly excited when I saw a swimsuit version of Lynette Bishop from Winter WonFes 2012. But I got even more hyped when I saw a colored prototype of Ika Musume, or “Squid Girl” in English, from Shinryaku! Ika Musume.
Ika is undoubtedly my favorite character in the series. Perhaps the best term for her is “lovable loser,” but that’s a big part of why I adore her and her ridiculousness.
As for the show itself, Ika Musume is not going to be one of those ultra-popular anime. It’s funny but will never be as hyped as a certain show with magical girls and incubators. Just beware of the endless stream of squid puns.

Behold my Naka-Kon 2012 bounty!
OK, I’ll shut up about Naka-Kon, at least until next year, but before I do, allow me to show off my latest acquisitions.
