We’ve made it safely back to Tokyo for the first time in 4 years. I’d say about 35-40% of folks are masked and of course we are, but I would feel better if it was more. Folks, please be considerate of yourself, your family and disabled and ill folks – wear a mask around other people. It will save lives.
Our first two days were mostly getting our city legs back. Riding the train, finding places to eat, braving Shibuya at rush hour on a Saturday…stuff like that.
On the way over I watched Barbie, Blue Beetle, A Haunting in Venice, and Encanto. Thoughts about all of them later. I have a lot of thoughts about them.
There is now a Melonbooks in my part of town, so I nabbed inori-sensei’s Yuusha ni Naritai Shoujo To, Yuusha Narubeki Kanojo (勇者になりたい少女と、勇者になるべき彼) light novel, with acrylic standee and bonus book cover and a couple of Yuri doujinshi that looked nice. That and a Akane-banashi gatcha have been my only gets so far. Comitia today, so that’s likely to change!
Also fun, we walked right by the I’m In Love With The Villainess advert at Shinjuku station! The wife was like, “LOOK!” and I said, “I guess I ought to take a picture.” LOL Later, I was yelling at myself for not being more excited.
See you on the other side of buying some doujinshi!
