Doujin Overload 2008

Oh, dear… I’ve been hacked and denied access for a few weeks. Now that things are setted, I can go about updating this blog. I miss it so much ~_~

I seriously didn’t expect my second semester of 2008 would be so hectic. That, plus the storm and costant rain here in Auckland which caused everything to be so gloomy. The sky is clear as I’m typing this entry, but I can still hear the sky rumbling.

This is a looooong overdue entry about the event I attended on… er… July 27. Yes, so long ago ~_~

The wind was pretty strong that day, and being the idiot that I was, I didn’t bother to check the weather services. It turned out that last Saturday recorded the worse storm in the last decade, which resulted in three deaths and a crap load of damages. But anyway, I went to the event with Mira and Kaara (the latter joined us a bit later) after mine and Mira’s scheduled meeting with our course coordinator, Sheryl. When we reached Mercure Hotel, we were almost frozen.

There were several cosplayers at the entrance; Kuchiki Rukia mulling over her pink handphone got me gigling before I went through the door to see the works on display and on sale by the exhibitor.

Go on reading for random pics and (cosplay) performance videos.

Seiyuu:
Ranmaru: Itou Kentarou (Renji in Bleach)
Albert Valentino (Al): Suwabe Junichi (… Atobe Keigo in Prince of Tennis)

Kaoru (Ranmaru’s wife): - Kawakami Tomoko (Hikaru in Hikaru no Go, Soi Fong in Bleach)

Ikoku Irokoi Romantan is originally a 1-volume manga by Yamane Ayano-sensei. The story kicks off with Ranmaru, the sole heir to his yakuza family boarding a cruise bound for Italy to celebrate his wedding with Kaoru, his childhood friend (who is a tad older than him). Ranmaru and Kaoru has never been lovers, nor were they ever in love with each other. They’re good friends, and their marriage is for the sake of strengthening their yakuza bloodline. While drinking alone in ‘misery’, Ranmaru encountered Albert, who saved him from harrassment. Romance, actions and humour ensues.

You know, for some reasons, Ranmaru looks a lot like Fuji Syuusuke (Prince of Tennis) with his eyes open. And Al is like Saeki Koujirou (again, Prince of Tennis) with blond hair. Hmm… Oh, and to those who’s been looking forward to the smex, you might be a litte bit disappointed.

I hope the second OVA comes out soon. Better yet, I hope Aarinfantasy can finish subbing the OVA as soon as possible. It’s kind of funny that I could not find any RAWs, but one with Chinese subtitle instead. Usually, it’s the other way around. Still, it’s better than nothing. At least I can understand Japanese.
