Wat. I clearly missed a memo here. Sounds like another addition to the list of reasons to stop supporting Amazon (the others being treating their workers like crap, tax avoidance and driving independent shops out of business) can we presume they’ll be stopping selling non-Japanese comics with content they find objectionable as well? Why stop there? Stop stocking films, TV shows, games and novels with such content as well. No? Just Japanese manga and LNs, is it? Gotta love narrow-focus moral panics that treat one medium (and apparently, one country of origin in this case) differently from all other media.

ymmv on getting older, but happy things-getting day, Grav.
 
Just this obscure little film that did okay.

Well to be more accurate a number of titles from J-Novel Club and Seven Seas basically had volumes deleted for random reasons but many had some ecchi shots or sample pages that may have triggered the situation. It's stupid and only makes the hunt for those volumes much harder than it should (Dumbbells is a perfect example because the first volume always had stock issues as it just came out a few months before the lockdown began).

But thanks for the responses everyone, I had Nandos so the lunch was noice.
 
Time for a second round of items to show off, but this time I actually bought them as I ordered them over the weekend.

The first is Monster Musume manga volumes 13 & 14 from Seven Seas. I wanted to get this series up-to-date (or close to) as soon as I could as many of these volumes were released years ago. It's one of the publishers' best sellers which is why it's still in print. From here on there was one volume released a year so I can now catch up pretty quickly now.

Next we have another video game for the PlayStation 3 collection with Time Crisis: Razing Storm from Bandai Namco. This is a compilation set that comes with Razing Storm, a Time Crisis spin-off similar to Crisis Zone, the Arcade version of Time Crisis 4, and Deadstorm Pirates. This collection is the way to-go if you want to play Time Crisis without the GunCon which is extremely rare from what I have heard (the GunCon was required for the franchise so this Razing Storm collection is the only accessible one available unless you have the Arcade machines nearby).

In terms of other PS3 games, I have God of War HD Collection Volume 2 on its way from CeX so hopefully that's in solid condition and that's really it outside of a few games I can honestly save for much later (excluding the Japanese imports of course). But once GoW arrives that's roughly all of the more important/priority games acquired so I can rest for the time being.

So this arrived very quickly in the UK, Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia Set 2 from AoA.

Set 2 matches the first set in terms of packaging, contains the remaining 10 episodes of the series and also has a booklet containing art (including some production art) of some of the characters in the show alongside quotes with the seiyu of each featured character.

And a few other thing from yesterday/today: Samurai girls from Cex after several attempts to get it from them and the one in Birmingham never being able to be stocked and cancelled every time, yet in all there wisdom they still leave it as available.
