Some days you just need to reward yourself. And if I can help you to do that, I will. Today, I can help you to reward yourself in not one, but two exciting ways!
First up: We have a contest! (Contest winners have been announced – please don’t enter anymore, thanks!)
Once more RightStuf has been kind enough to give me an extra DVD box set (plus extras!) , this time of the new Hyakko release. Fans of Hidamari Sketch/Sunshine Sketch are sure to enjoy this 4-koma school life comedy.
How to enter: In the comments, give me your name, age and country. Easy peasy. One person will be picked at random. If you’ve won an Okazu or Yuricon contest in the past year, please skip this contest, okay? Let someone else win. ^_^
Normally I let contests drag on, but the winner for this will be announced on this week’s YNN report on Saturday, so get those entries in right away. And if you don’t win, don’t forget you can always buy yourself a copy of Hyakko Complete TV Series Litebox Set. ^_^

Secondly: We Have Lucky Boxes!
If you really like getting cool stuff and you really want to reward yourself, I have Grab bag boxes! Just like the last time, these are USPS flat rate boxes crammed full of doujinshi and manga. This time I will have two boxes, one that will include “Adult” doujinshi, one with varying degrees of appropriateness.
Grab boxes are again limited to the US, because of the weight, and to 21+ only, on principle.
Grab Box A – This one will be a completely different glimpse into doujinshi than you’re used to. Lots of fluids. (Claimed)
Grab Box B – This will include a random full anime box set and doujinshi and manga – (Claimed)
We aim to please here, so I promise one thing – you will get well more than your money’s worth. I got loads of stuff here and I want it to not be here any more. I’m motivated to make it fit in that box!
How to be eligible to buy a Lucky Box: Email me at anilesbocon01 at hotmail dot com with the subject “Grab Box”. Please include your name, age, mailing address and which of the Lucky Boxes you want. I will contact you at that point and give you details about payment. This whole process will be handled with utmost capriciousness. ^_^
There are no limits on these – if you want more than one say so, because I can just get a bigger box. ^_^ And if you got one the last time and want one again, go for it. The idea is to lessen the piles of stuff here. ^_^
So, contest, or outright junk sale, go ahead – reward yourself!

Since I won last Yuricon AMV contest, I’m gonna skip. Good luck to the others.
Much obliged. ^_^

Twice the age of anybody else! Almost.
Rob – You’re one of the winners of the Hyakko contest. Can you please email me at Yuricon at gmail dot com? If I don’t hear from you by July 24 (a week from today), I’ll have to pick someone else.

Watch out, Rob — in just two years, I’ll be as old as you!
By the way, I just finished reading Milk Morinaga’s “Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink.” Lots and lots of cuteness, but a decent amount of serious relationship issues that are equally relevant to girl-girl, boy-girl and boy-boy pairs. I must agree that the ending is just a tad unrealistic, but … everyone is happy! Yay!
I remember the days when Yuri never had happy endings, so yes, yay!

And I also remember the days of no happy endings ever. I’m willing to sacrifice a little realism at the end to get a few. =P

Just a quick question on the lucky boxes; about how long will the offer stand (if you know)? I can’t buy one sadly, but my sister may be interested. Thanks.

Sorry, age 19. My mistake.
My doctor asked me how old I am today. I just stared at her blankly while I did the subtraction. So, yeah. ^_^
Here in South Korea there are two different age-systems so it gets really confusing. In Korea (pretty much only here from what I gather) you start at age 1 when you’re born. Then, everyone gains one year on New Year’s Day. So if a child is born on December 20th, they are already “two years old” only two weeks later.
Makes for some interesting conversations…
“So how old are you?”
“Korean age, or international age?”
Age of majority, then. Most people are smart enough to know when they can legally drink, vote, drive, etc.
