Well….wow. I mean, really. The final full day of the tour was a veritable feast of Yuri.
We started the day with breakfast at a famous fruit parlor for breakfast, because ice cream and fruit is definitely breakfast of champions.
From there, we all made our way out to the Girls Love Festival, where predictably, I bought more doujinshi than I planned on buying. ^_^ We all picked up Doropanda Tours’ ShizNat 14 years later doujinshi, because hell yes we did. Two of our party had Morishima Akiko sign some English language goods, which made everyone happy.
.
GLFest had something I had never seen before… Comic Zin had brought a bunch of Yuri doujinshi and books, so there was a little Yuri bookstore to buy from.
On the way out, my wife realizing we were on the back end of the Sensoji, and she wanted to take everyone down the Nakamisedori.
Because we didn’t have enough Yuri, we then trekked to Akihabara. First up was Shosen Book Tower, which has a brilliant Yuri section.
Then a quit hit at Melon Books, where I had a mission to find Hayashiya Shizuru’s newest original doujinshi…which I did! It was pretty much exactly where I hoped to find it…a small miracle in and of itself. Victory! Last stop was Comic Zin where, amazingly, I found more Yuri to buy. ^_^
Part of the tour had already headed back to the hotel. Two headed off for a dinner of monjayaki. When we all got back together, it was time for something extra special…the Sailor Moon Shining Moon Tokyo restaurant!
I will do a full review when I get home, but let me just say…it was fantastic. Really, genuinely a load of fun for all.
We all shipped Minako and Rei hard. The actress playing Venus really leaned into her role. ^_^
My review of Shining Moon Tokyo is now posted!
With that, the 100 Years of Yuri Tour officially came to a close. I want to thank everyone who joined us on our adventure. It was a blast!
My wife and I are here a couple of extra days, so expect a few more days of stuff. We’re heading out to Pokewalk a bit right now, but tune in next time for more fun!
Did you get to the festival on the day of Revue Starlight’s doujinshi? Or is it really some kind of official support from Bushiroad?
“We e all shipped Minako and Rei hard. The actress playing Venus really leaned into her role. ^_^”
Rei is my favorite character, but to be honest I have never been into their ship with Usagi or Minako. However, recalling their sisterly relationships in manga and love-hate in live action, I can understand the people who support the Rei ship with the latter, lol.
The festival is only one day. The Starlight Revue section is in the same place at the same time.
Ah, now I get it! Thank you for your reply.
I look forward to your review of Sailor Moon Shining Moon Tokyo restaurant!
