Dump Matsumoto filmed Nissin’s bizarre Takoyaki Ramen ads. One spot opened with her bare-faced, smiling and speaking in her natural high voice, then cut to the terrifying heel persona. Dump later said it was the first time TV viewers saw her real face.

Based on experience, there really IS good money to be earned drawing or animating for
pachinko or any gambling-related assets.

Cutting Corners
As blogged about back in Nov. 10 of last year:
http://silentsanctummanga.blogspot.com/2019/11/corner-tactics.html
We did drop by the same place by November 12 2019.
Which was a Tuesday (our day-off).
Our last visit was cut short due to budget constraints but we intend to
buy a few trading card binders in which the store carries quite abundantly.
We weren't able to buy any (not even one) Tankobon at the time but was fortunate enough
to chance upon a few other titles that caught our eye.
Familiar titles like:
Shadow Skill.
And with several colored pages looking like THIS:
The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Highschool Of The Dead.
This very first issue of Neon Genesis Evangelion
Saint Young Men.
Angelic Layer.
Aiki-S by Isutoshi.
To rare and kinda obscure titles like:
Sengoku Basara.
Melty Blood.
which to our understanding, was a superior fighting game.
I didn't know this had a manga version as well.
Kirin by Showhei Halumoto.
is a story about biker gangs.
The art has that Katsuhiro Otomo look to it.
Drifters.
Which we kinda liked but we didn't purchase and I still don't know why?
The art was a bit Hellsing-ish.
Lady Cool.
Which was kinda COOL, I guess?
Much to the approval of Mr. Carlito here,
no doubt!
Kamiyadori.
Which we kinda liked as well
but then again didn't purchase!
And last but not the least, Yasuraka Monsters.
With pages looking like THESE:
I mean, C'MON!
Why the hell didn't we bought this????
When all this ECQ and GCQ is over.
Hopefully, we could all go back to our manga hunting ways.
Because keeping their businesses afloat is our one true mission in life.
And you better believe that, man!

Strong To The Finish

How it looked like on 6/21/18:
How it looked like on 1/22/19:
New acquisitions for the store: Hentai Tankobons!
Looks pretty normal on the front
but pure bike sex at the back!
Ranging from SOFTCORE
to
!HARDCORE!
Bonus points for Yuri titles such as these:
And as always, it's always nice to see titles you know.
And various versions of titles you know.
Like this giant Yuyu Hakusho book.
Which features 3 volumes in 1.
Or this Italian DBZ.
Which we probably should've bought but didn't so darn it!
To newer titles that looked very promising and definitely deserves my purchase next time I drop by.
And as always, we can't wrap up this trip without spotting a few weird manga covers.
And that's the last of them, aren't we right Yakitate Japan's Brad Pitt?
Good!
We then capped off the night by playing as Akuma on a very busted and rather discolored SF Alpha arcade cabinet.

!HARDCORE!

Kinda like the Fist Of The North star manga we featured here before.
Speaking of which. Here are three more variations of just that:

And yes, this was the secret detour we took as mentioned here:
Cool finds from that visit:
Books that I would definitely purchase (if I could ever find them again, that is!):
How it looked like more recently( 10/11/19):
The changes were significant. Some of the titles are now grouped/ arranged together.
They've stacked some of the shelves more evenly making for a more enjoyable manga shopping experience.
Cool finds from that said trip:
And also, THIS:
I never knew they made a crossover game.
Wouldn't this be like a big deal to JRPG fans or something?
