July Batch #04
Two separate parts here, and the latter is the big one!
From Blackwells we have two packages - the first that arrived on Thursday was
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom light novel volume 11, which was one of the few that I needed to get but had to wait a while due to stock issues. The package did arrive slightly damaged by the dents which is unfortunate.
The next one to arrive, which came today, was
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs light novel 1. I enjoyed the anime a lot, so wanted to acquire the light novels which also had some stock issues, but the first volume was starting to slowly return to print so it arrived finally.
Next we have a trip to Sheffield, which is the first time I went back to the city since late November last year (though properly since July 2020). It was a sort-of sudden plan but I figured why not, and despite how hot the day was and the train going back being delayed, it was a good time. I did pick up a bunch of items which are below.
In HMV, they had a 2 for £30 offer on 4K Ultra HD titles and so I picked up Bong Joon-ho's
Parasite (기생충) and Akira Kurosawa's
RAN (乱). Both still have their slipcases.
In CeX, I found
Resident Evil Revelations and
Resident Evil Revelations 2 on PlayStation 4 for £25 overall. Pretty good deal since the copies were pretty much brand new in terms of the condition.
At the Sheffield Space Centre, I know their prices are basically SRP for all of their books, so I decided to focus on Seven Seas as they tend to be pretty much the same range online also. And what we got was a surprising selection, but the overall cost was close to £100 so it's a lot spent.
For manga we have
Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight! omnibus 3 (covering volumes 5-6),
The Dungeon Of Black Company volume 7 and
GIGANT volume 7.
We also have
Skeleton Knight in Another World light novel 1-3 and
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs light novel 2-3. The anime adaptations for both of these helped with the decision to go after the source material.
