Hello Lily! I'm sorry to bother you, but how can I get the BreakxSharon hugging illustration?

Hello! :) Don’t worry, you aren’t a bother. The only way you can get the Break/Sharon Hugging Illustration (which is actually a postcard!), is by either having pre-ordered the Second Jun Mochizuki Artbook “There is.” at a PH Animate Event or by purchasing the artbook at the currently running PH Animate Events at the Shibuya Animate in Tokyo and the Kokura Animate in Kyushu. Other than that, I don’t really know where else you would be able to find/get your hands on the Break/Sharon Hugging Illustration/Postcard, perhaps via Ebay Japan or something? IDK. : /

Hi Lily, is there a way I can get all the bonus possible (hugging illustrations) with ordering the PH volume 23,24 and the artbook and the guidebook? I'm confused, where to order? I tried search at the animate jp but no results at all. Sorry for bothering you and thank you so much in advance.

Hello! :) And yep, here are two links for the Animate Online Store for the whole bunch:This one is Volumes 23 & 24, 24 + 1 Guidebook, and the second Jun Mochizuki Artbook.And this one is all of the above plus the Pandora Hearchu Hard Cover booklet.The Animate Online store does not ship outside of Japan though.

Limited Edition Pandora Hearchu Hard Cover Booklet with Volume 24 Purchase!

Up on the Golden Wonderland site, they’ve recently made a post about a hard cover Pandora Hearchu Hard Cover Booklet that you can get with Volume 24.

If you have already pre-ordered the normal edition, you can upgrade to this special edition. However, you cannot purchase the booklet alone. The special edition with Pandora Herchu booklet with the gorgeous hard cover is priced at 999 yen + tax. You can only purchase this at a local Animate or through the Animate Online Store. The contents of the Pandora Hearchu booklet is: - A compilation of all of the Pandora Hearchu that have come out accompanied by comments from Mochizuki-sensei. - A Pandora Hearchu that you can only read in the booklet (aka it was made specifically for the booklet), (an) illustration cut(s), and the like are planned to appear in the booklet.

[Note: I have no idea what an illustration cut is. I tried looking it up, but I got nothing really. Though, it seems like it means like a collection of pictures or something.]

- And a gorgeously detailed hard cover!

There is a limited number! So if you want it, you need to pre-order it right away, either at a local Animate or via the online Animate Store. The online Animate store doesn’t ship overseas, I believe. Instead of trying to upgrade my purchase, I just went and pre-ordered this. It was the easiest way to go about it (since I purchased my Volume 24 at the Osaka Animate, which is quite far away). It’ll be interesting to see what the booklet only contents will be!  It will go on sale June 27th. Just like all the other volumes and supplementary books. :)

Sorry if someone asked you this before, you know when the volume 23 and 24 are going to be released? I think it's going to be in June but i'm not sure :(

They are being released June 27th. The third and final guidebook (24 + 1 Last Dance) and the second Jun Mochizuki art book (There is.) also get released on June 27th as well. :)

Hello Lily! Do you know a site in English language where I can preorder the 2nd Pandora Hearts' artbook? CDJapan seems to not sell it yet >//< Thank you!

No, I don’t. I just know that you can try pre-ordering from Amazon Japan, the Animate Online Store, and the Square Enix E-Store.Amazon Japan may cause issues (for example, it may be fine to pre-order but when it comes time for delivery or something you may get a message from them saying they cannot deliver the items overseas - I’ve had that happen before when I was back in the America) the shipping can also be a bit pricey. The Animate Online Store probably doesn’t allow for overseas orders, but I only ordered from there once since being in Japan, so I don’t really know. And I have no idea about the Square Enix E-Store and whether it will allow for overseas orders. Still, it is always worth giving them all a try and seeing what will or won’t work.Your best bets would be to try Amazon Japan and the Square Enix E-Store though. And still keep an eye on sites like CD Japan in the meantime. Of course, if anyone has any experience with pre-ordering these items from overseas, feel free to comment! :D

I got an Ask about the Hugging Illustrations and pre-ordering Volume 23, Volume 24, the third guidebook, and the artbook...

I answered it and clicked the button to privately answer it, but my computer was being dumb and didn't send it, so then I had to refresh the page, and the Ask was gone. I don't know if it got sent properly or not, but here is the response I gave: Hello! :) There are a variety of hugging illustrations that will come with the pre-orders (1. Oz & Gil, 2. Oz & Alice, 3. Oz & Break, 4. (Oz) + Break & Sharon, and 5. Oz + Elliot + Leo - you get this last one if you pre-order all the items). The Oz & Gil hugging illustration definitely comes with Volume 23, Mochizuki-sensei said this herself on her blog, but I we don't know for certain which of the other hugging illustrations come with what book. If I had to guess though, I would say that Oz & Alice comes with the pre-order of Volume 24, Oz & Break with the pre-order of the Guidebook, and (Oz) + Break and Sharon with the pre-order of the artbook, but that is nothing more than a guess. At the moment, the only way to pre-order these items is at the PH events (now the PH event at the Osaka Animate), however, I do expect that they will eventually be available for pre-order online (likely after the Osaka Event is over, so at the very end of March/beginning of April). I don't know for certain though if pre-ordering online will definitely come with the hugging illustrations. It has been stated that it is a campaign and that the illustrations will come with your items when you pre-order them at the Animate venues, but there was no mention made of these being special Animate only illustrations. We'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, I hope this helped clear some things up for you! :D I hope the asker gets to see this!

In regard to the missing items, I'm almost 100% sure they will never appear online unless it's in an auction. The official page states that the tote bag is event-exclusive and as for the rest of the missing items, they're from a lottery game and those particular goods are never for sale online. They're technically not even for sale at the event!

Oh, really, thanks for that info! I haven’t had the time lately to take a good look at that info concerning the goods and such, so I hadn't know about that, and I’ve never really been to an event like this before, so this is all rather new to me. :)
