quillpunk | danmei haul

Okay, so a couple of months back I followed this guide by anehan to purchasing danmei novels from Rosmei at ATOM Comics (it's in Poland). And then I promptly forgot about it, LOL. Like, I've bought stuff from Via Lactea before; my expectations for time between purchasing the book and actually getting it is like... a year.

Amongst the things I forgot was both the number of books I bought and which books I bought. It turns out I bought four! :D I now have the first volumes of the following:

Everyone Loves the Cannon Fodder
Don't You Like Me
Kaleidoscope of Death
Coins of Destiny

My biggest concern was it would get caught by customs and I'd have to pay even more money. It did not! That's great, because shipping was already 100 zł (shipping for just one book was already at 80 which is the reason I bought so many at once; it's just not worth it unless I'm bulk ordering).

My second biggest concern was that the package/books would be damaged. They're not! :D The package was wrapped in plastic, and the books in bubble wrap, and then the individual books in plastic. The merch was inside the plastic with the books, too. I now have two very pretty bookmarks, as well <3

I just got them so I haven't read them yet, but I so badly want to buy even more (because books make me happy). I am containing myself purely because I actually want to fully read one of them before I buy any more from Rosmei, just to make sure I vibe with the translations, I guess. And nothing from there is on sale on ATOM Comics right now (sometimes they are, which can be worth keeping in mind. Because the books are pretty expensive, too; like 30 USD a pop amd quality-vise they're not exceptional or anything).

Anyway, so far I'm pretty pleased! :D
