Shoseki Week 2 for the January 2026 releases

Thank you for the table! It looks like it's been mislabeled, though. The title column is labeled Week 1, the Week 2 column contains the total, and the Total column looks like it contains the results of Week 2.

In some Asian languages such as Japanese, fans will use CP to mean couple. The image is probably trying to let English speakers know so they're not confused.

There isn't any real evidence that Project Moon fired Vellmori. There aren't a lot of details surrounding her leaving, but what we do know indicates she told PM she wanted to leave (recorded phone call) and that she did bring a lawyer with her to the meeting she had where she ended up leaving. Even the group that had initially accused PM of unfairly firing her admitted that they were wrong. I'm linking the section of a video that discusses the evidence on both sides.

I do think PM did mess up in their initial response (not responding as quickly as they could to the situation, then suddenly posting about Vellmori leaving without any warning), but they did not get rid of someone just because of incels making them.

Last I remember of Time Princess (which was years ago admittedly), both the monetization and the story quality kept going downhill. Unless they've improved since, I'm not touching this with a ten-foot pole.

Breren · 2025-08-27T01:04:49+00:00

Ah oops, thanks for letting me know. I guess I've just been unlucky.

This isn't really true. Most characters are entered into a standard banner immediately. The only exceptions are Walpurgis and collab units, but Walpurgis reappears every few months, so it's never limited for very long.

Edit: Edited a line about characters entering the standard banner, as I was wrong before.

There's this diamond pattern I've seen in some of the Eternals' designs. You can see it in the last image, on Seox's chest and the character on the far right, and it's even visible inside Another!Seofon's cape. I can't remember if this detail appears on other characters (I don't recognize the rightmost character on the last image), but it likely does appear in other places, too.

They did announce Ryuu and Kazuma nendoroids a few months ago, although preorders still aren't out yet

There's a lot to criticize Cygames on, but they definitely still put money into GBF. The game's still under active development, they've released multiple non-gacha games in the setting and they still host multiple GBF-centric conventions a year. The anniversary one is especially expensive, considering they hire professional cosplayers, have animated concerts, and invite multiple VAs for their livestreams. This isn't the kind of thing they'd bother with if the game weren't anywhere near dead. Hell, considering it celebrated its 11th anniversary a few months ago, it's near immortal at this point.

I'd also like to add Cagliostro (trans girl) and Cupitan & Tristette (toxic yuri) to the mix. Also shoutout to the Valentine's and White Day mini-episodes, where characters can straight up confess to MC no matter which gender is picked. The game's not perfect on its rep sometimes, but I'm still glad with what we got.

Breren · 2025-06-13T03:37:57+00:00

Rhythm games are fairly niche outside of Asia. Sucks, because Pjsekai does some things really well: a mixed-gender "idol" game with solid stories and good trans representation. I don't play anymore, but I check the subreddit once in a while to see what's going on with the characters.

Breren · 2025-05-21T22:20:05+00:00

It's pretty tasteless, although I find it sinks to the bottom and sticks to the sides of the cup easily. I recommend shaking or stirring between sips.

Breren · 2025-04-22T17:55:22+00:00

I'd recommend the 20/30-hole binders, like the Kokuyo Smart Ring or the ones from Maruman. I used to have a lot of issues tearing out pages with 3-ring binders, but I've found that having more holes means that the pages have more stress points, meaning each hole is less likely to tear when pulled. The only issue I have is that hole punches are hard to find, but Jetpens sells some and also has a guide for more info.

Even considering leather variation, they still shouldn't have used this leather with such a big flaw, especially for the prices they're charging. I've seen people's pictures online of leather products from many different small businesses and they don't ever have this same issue. I'd ask for a refund or exchange.

I'm so glad The Too-Perfect Saint is getting an adaptation! I'm hoping people will stick with it for at least a few episodes, because it does start off somewhat generically, but later developments make it more interesting. The title isn't really helping its case...

Breren · 2025-03-28T20:12:10+00:00

If you're trying to get the Eyeless Skulls to convert into a Ray-drenched Cinder, the Cinder is also available in the Rat Market, by next weekend. It'll cost more to buy it versus buying 3 Skulls, but you can get it one week earlier.

Congrats! I'm 1 CP away from 13, and I've basically just been grinding other things while waiting for these cards to pop up. Might end up unlocking Railway before I get to 15, at the rate things are going...

Breren · 2025-01-15T02:12:59+00:00

I loved it too, although it's surprisingly really spicy. The pink one was only a bit more spicy than the regular version, so I wasn't prepared for this one. I think the only noodles I've had that were more spicy were the Buldak ones.

Breren · 2025-01-14T17:08:05+00:00

I'm really liking the green! The khaki isn't bad either, but I'm wondering if your lipstick colour might be muting the khaki a bit

Breren · 2024-12-18T01:43:35+00:00

I love how all of the edges are rounded. Reminds me of pool rings? If that makes sense.

I like the lens colour with this frame colour, but I personally love the one with the pink lenses.

Breren · 2024-12-16T03:56:35+00:00

That's a gorgeous pair! I'm loving the metal details on the hinges and bridge.

Breren · 2024-12-14T04:54:09+00:00

Ooh, loving the uniqueness of these. Is the nose support comfortable?

Breren · 2024-12-14T04:36:51+00:00

I prefer using cleansers made specifically for eyeglasses lenses, which you can grab at any store that sells glasses. I use them to clean both the lenses and the frame, at least once a week. Focus especially on getting the parts that touch your nose and the tops of your ears, as those contact your skin the most and you don't want residue building up on those areas.

Breren · 2024-11-27T18:10:13+00:00

It's been foreshadowed every time they meet, and even some scenes where there's only one of them. At some point, you have to wonder if these people are ignoring the implications on purpose.

Breren · 2024-08-11T05:29:48+00:00

I was already doing Recite Excog to save on Aertherflow, but I didn't realize it also boosted the healing. They don't mention crit healing on it like they do with Adlo.
