Day 16 – Procurement Squad #3

As mentioned in the Angel Sanctuary acquired post, I mentioned a series I wish to get once the funds came in and today, we have Phantom Thief Jeanne joining the ranks of mangas owned in my care. I am so glad that I have someone I can easily procure manga from and for such an amazing price. I can even put in some requests which is like a dream come true for me, since I have so many series I want in my shelves, both new and all.

Newest babies

Anything by Arina Tanemura seems to pass in my books and I look forward to reading this series since I enjoy her other works, namely Gentlemen’s Alliance Cross and Sakura Hime (Fun fact, it was one of the first few mangas I have bought from Panda and never once looked back). So, I look forward to reading this, which you will read often here in this post. Like with a few other creators, I plan to obtain her other works one day but for now, slowly working off my collection list.

One looks a little beat up, possible water damage, but I can live with that and the yellowing but otherwise they look amazing and I can’t wait to read them, as they join the pile of mangas I so badly need to read. The last three mangas will be mentioned in a later post but I am glad they came in today. So back to my lovely Phantom Thief, it is the complete set for an amazing price, I love the covers and the colour scheme, the story seems appealing as it is about a girl who transforms into a thief whose job is to seal demons within art pieces.

The last item on this agenda is the three pins from Ohayo Clothing, who does absolutely gorgeous pins and I have a few other pins from previously backed projects. This package came with six pins, but I gave three to my partner and now have ownership over Bowsette, Chocobo Sundae and Sakura Futaba. I honestly love how big they are, and the colours are so bold and lively that I couldn’t help but put them with my mangas. The other pins that my partner has is Boosette, Moogle Sundae and Yusuke Kitagawa.

I am now setting up a schedule for my posting habits since doing it everyday is a headache when I don’t really have any content and reading Naruto is worthier as a large review than interval ones since I have so many other ones I wish to share. I am now up to volume 11, as an indicator that I haven’t stopped reading them. I also plan to add in novels once I start reading them more actively since they are also a hobby of mine. Like the mangas, they are not consistent in genre but that’s just me.

Mail Mumbles: Fallen into Fantasy Pins

First time I'm making a post about pins.
I don't know what to say about them cause I am no expert, just a buyer of cute and affordable things.

So recently, I got into pin collecting and started to mass a formidable collection of a variety of pins but today, my Cardcaptor Sakura pins came in with a food kitty pin. They are really adorable.

The seals have glitter on some parts and apparently glow in the dark, which I can't wait to see tonight with the other pins that glow. They are rather big but thats what I really like and I can sit other pins in the middle of them, if I so wish. Which is kinda unique.

Kero and Spinel are really cute too and they pair perfectly with the seals. Mainly Kero with the pink since it seems to be a gold plating while Spinel goes with the blue cause silver. I mean, I am not sure on what else to say but honestly, these are solid pins that look amazing in my collection and when I hold them, they have a good weight to them. The colours are beautiful, the glitter really brings a magical feel to the seal and it's honestly a must have for any pin collector that loves Cardcaptor Sakura. The heads have one pin prong while the seal has three, which is understandable for the size that each pin is.

Now the Noodle kitty, or as I call it, the Food Kitty is on a black plating (or is it onyx or gunmetal grey, I am terrible with names) but it brings me such joy looking at it cause you can tell it's having a grand time on the egg and the cute noodle bowl/cup on its head. Reminds me of the scene in Danganronpa which is another reason why I love this pin, it reminds me of something else I love and enjoy. It also fits in with the theme of Cats with Food, especially the Asian or Noodle kind. Like the other pins, the colours are gorgeous, it has a nice weight to it and has two pins at the back which makes it rather stable and less likely to move once placed on something.

For being an Aussie buyer, price is everything and most of the time, after converting the currency and then the shipping. It really makes or breaks a purchase. These pins are well worth the money, I spent about 50aud on the pins, as well as using a discount code provided by Fallen into Fantasy, which makes each pin about 10aud each which is amazing and worth it for me. Normally I wouldn't go on about prices but for someone with a low income but a love for pricey things, it means a lot to mention that if I can afford it, then anyone could. So if you're like me, you can buy pretty things that you love if you know where to look.

So please visit Fallen into Fantasy at their Instagram or their Etsy shop for all their creations, you won't regret it!
