Picked up missed TCs: Ichigo 1 Kimi Kiss, Melon Books, Sofmap

(tags telephone card)

Last week I was in Nipponbashi Den Den Town hunting for Lumines. I saw some interesting TCs then but I did not buy them. But this weekend I decided to pick up the Kimi Kiss (キミキス) TC at Books Lashinbang. And instead of going on the weekend, I decided to go Friday night, which made it more frantic.

Lucky for me it was still there. The illustrator is Masashiro Itosugi. It has a paper frame (台紙), which actually cuts the card if you're not careful. This card was available to all buyers of the Champion RED Ichigo magazine (チャンピオンREDいちご) volume 1, so I don't understand why I didn't mail order it. It turns out that I bought the magazine but failed to read it. Huh. In any case it was 2000 yen, which is 1000 yen more than the original price.

I didn't plan on buying the other cards, but they were interesting enough to nab. The Melon Books TC costs 40 points but I forget when it was released. Usually the Melon Books TCs' designs are too skanky with fan-service, but this one is attractive to me because Melon-chan's hair isn't overloading the colors. The illustrator is 有葉. I got it for 1000 yen, but I saw it at another place for 2500 yen. I can never tell if these things are worth more than 1000 yen.

The last one is probably some Sofmap tokuten but I can't recall when, where or who. But the twin-tailed blonde is totally cute, and yes my "Sofmap" allegiance is growing so I had to have it. It was only 800 yen so it must be scrap.
