Rozen Maiden surprise appearance in Young Jump

Monday, March 17th, 2008

shinkuuuu.jpgPeach-Pit has made a surprise appearance in Young Jump in this week’s issue with a one-shot comic called Shoujo no tsukurikata (How to make a girl) about how Shinku was made. The original Rozen Maiden manga ended its run in Comic Birz abruptly last year amid problems.

It isn’t officially serialized in the magazine yet, but there is a note at the end of the comic that says that they will be having a big announcement in next week’s issue.

Woman flashes her ass in Akihabara

Monday, March 17th, 2008

kichigaidesuka.jpgAkibablog reports that the idol Sawamoto Asuka was back in Akihabara again flashing her ass for people to take photos while advertising her events, giving out flyers and stuff. This isn’t the first time she has been doing this as she was seen with similar antics last year. (and getting stopped by the police)

Do I have to mention that it’s not normal? Well Akiba itself technically isn’t normal either, but she should find a job in a strip club instead.

Also I wanted to link to the English Akibablog, but I realised they haven’t updated since the 14th…?

Chinko matsuri 2008

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

waisetsu.jpgDAI-san Teikoku has a report on the increasingly popular Chinko matsuri aka Penis festival which is held on 15th March every year in Komaki city in the Aichi prefecture. Once a year they bring out the huge penises and swing them around at people without any censorship at all!

Aichi prefecture is a great place as not only do they air Moetan with even less censorship in the transformation sequences than the DVD version, it is also home to the penis shrine, the vagina festival, the breast goddess of mercy, the 1 meter tall parfait, and sweet pasta.

There are other spots in Japan with similar shrines, but Aichi’s has been the most famous.

398 copies of Shounen Sunday for Sakuya

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

398.jpgThis week’s Shounen Sunday comes with a free card of Sakuya from Hayate no gotoku which can be used in the Hayate no gotoku TCG. In commemoration of the Sakuya card, a certain Sakuya fan has brought upon himself to buy 398 copies of the magazine.

He had to travel to 82 different branches of 7-Eleven buying several copies of Shounen Sunday from each branch to complete the task (leaving a few copies so others can get their own copy)

398 is a wordplay on the name “Sakuya”, which is why he bought 398 copies. And each copy of Shounen Sunday costs 250 yen (2.50 USD), so 398 copies comes up to 99,500 yen (995 USD).

…I wonder how he’s going to get rid of 398 copies of Sunday.
