Dedicate your heart (and wallet ;w;): my (SNK) trip in Tokyo
OK folks ♥ ! Finally I have time to write a short summary about my travel in Tokyo … or better, about the fandom part. My dear @judarchan and I decided to travel there around the end of July because some of our favourite anime were airing around this time of the year (YOI, SNK, Free!, K, etc ..). Tbh we were kinda suprised to find few stuff about some of them.
My personal hunt regarded especially YOI and SNK (and K and other anime too). Well tbh about Yoi there wasn’t so much stuff around, except doujinshi! Oh there were LOT OF THEM! HOW MANY VICTUURI DOUJINSHI çOç! There was half floor of Akihabara’s Tora no Ana only for them!! Otherwise … yes something but I was expecting more. And even less, since my hunt was basically only about Victor, and his stuff was the most sold and the rarest (and so more expansive yay … ) (Instead there were lot of Yuuri and many stuff about Yurio too …) . So I wasn’t able to buy what I really wanted or needed the most *sigh* (but still I bought some cute Victor’s pins and acrilyc figures uwu”)
I was more lucky (well not my wallet XD) about SNK! There was LOT and LOT of stuff about SNK around! Every shop in Akihabara or Ikebukuro had so many SNK related things … TONS of them (my poor wallet again ç_ç). And of course the characters with more merchandising were Eren (my precious bae ♥) and Levi. And Ereri/Riren the ship with more stuff and doujnshi. how.many.doujinshi ç_ç !! Whole walls filled with doujinshi about them … çwç And they were often put on the spotlight among the general fandom most sold doujinshi too ;w; *proud*. So yeah I can confirm that Ereri/Riren is incredibly strong in Japan ♥ (my dear @judarchan can confirm the amout of time I took to check carefully how many Ereri/Riren doujinshi there were in every single store we visited xD It was like a social study u_u” )
There were SNK advertisments into the metro and in Akihabara too ♥ (my son being strong and beautiful ♥ … it was a really really big ad on Radio Kaikan in Akihabara *_* )
in front of him, ofc Levi ♥:
into the metro:
and this was inside the Animate of Ikebukuro (if I remember right …) :
Sadly I couldn’t buy all what I wanted because I didn’t have space in my suitbags anymore and … no money anymore too aehm ^^”““ … I tried to buy every item “matched”: so one item of Eren and its matching Levi item. And, sadly, I have noticed how they are really milking Levi’s character a lot: Eren and Levi gadgets were generally the most expensive among SNK charas (yay ….. so lucky ^^”), but Levi’s were the most expensive of all and the rarest ones… *sigh*. Basically I spent lot of money for keeping my boys together ok *sob* .. dedicate your heart indeed (and wallet … TwT” ) ;w; ♥. One of the very few thing I haven’t bought “matched” was the body pillow … I found them the last day of my trip and I had money only for one ç_ç” and … Eren is my bae and my son and he will always get the first place ♥ (also the pillow was, imo, better drawn than Levi’s). (But as soon as I can, I will get even Levi and the other things I couldn’t buy like the two Figma *sigh sob snif*)
he’s so beautiful ;w; ♥♥♥
Some of Eren and Levi stuff I bought (maybe I’m forgetting something ..):
the cloak ♥ (very very very well done ♥), Eren and Levi Nendoroid, the tote bag, three doujinshi (2 anthologies), random Eren stuff,
a bunch of bbys ♥
@_@” so many can badges and keychains @_@ (and the towel of the Scouts ♥)
……maaany Eren, Levi, EreriRiren clearfiles ;w; ♥ !!! (the light in my room is shitty sorry )
And this is my Ita bag EreriRiren themed ♥ (just a wip because it’s still a mess and I want to add other things too … I’d need more space *sigh* … ): I nicknamed it “dedicate your heart and your wallet bag” ;w;”““ ♥
Of course we also went to Tobu Zoo event .. ! ♥ I mean … real life sized statues of my OTP … I HAD TO ;w; We went there Saturday 4 August. Reading other users’ experiences, we were expecting lot of people tbh. But, maybe because it was hot as hell *dies* or maybe because the event was ending? idk but it was kinda calm. It was really nice *_* :
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my scouting dorks ;w; ♥
… my cleaning freak dorks ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ç_ç
so cute ;w; ♥ ♥ ♥
And then we arrived to the event plaza ♥
AND HERE … HERE … THEY APPEARED in front of me çwç ♥♥♥
cloooser ♥
M Y G O R G E O U S C R E A T U R E S ♥ ç__ç ♥
OH my heart ;w; ♥ (urgh my hand was shaking bc FEEEELINGS sorry çwç” )
Then (after staring at them for like 15 minutes with tears in my eyes and so on ;w; …) we ate teriyaki at this stand:
and, as usual, I wasn’t lucky with the cards I got T_T (same with the stickers and same with gashapon in Akihabara … >.>” ). I got my least fav chara twice DX so I started to jump to literally every other table around me for asking people to exchange their cards/stickers with mine. I was enough lucky to get rid of of said chara quickly for other two random chara (and they sold me a Eren keychain because “they didn’t want him” wooo wooo rude how can you be so ungrateful with my son è.è” so I rescued him as fast as light u_u they don’t deserve you my sweet sunshine ;w; ♥ ). And another very kind guy exchanged his Levi for my Mikasa yay! ♥ wherever you are now, kind guy, thank you ♥ Hope you will have a very nice life ♥ *blows a kiss* ♥
Also I bought lot of stuff x_x (so much Eren and Levi merchandising *sigh* ♥)
Then we went to the dessert stand/shop too!
and we both got an Eren (ofc ♥) icecream, the pink one ♥: it was delicious ;w; ! (like my precious son ♥)
and even there I wasn’t lucky with the charas but at least I didn’t get my least fav this time.
So now I have some cards/stickers to exchange with Eren’s ones or with the one of Levi I still miss. I have the complete collection of Armin and the two cards of Hanji. (and I also have two Reiner -wow so lucky …- and one Jean keychains that I got with gashapons to exchange with everything Eren or Levi related T_T”) If anyone is interested, pls contact me ♥
And .. that’s all I guess?? °-°”
