Now, there are most definitely people in western fandom who have much greater collections than mine.  However, my greatest accomplishment (and bragging right) was managing to get all of these from Japan to northern California in a short space of time.  And now it's finally all back, despite the fact that I had to leave some boxes to the chance that they would be destroyed via sea mail.  Other than a few slightly bent corners, thank God everything came back fine.  (Some of the boxes themselves got pretty mangled, though.  If anyone ever attempts to do this, I recommend a hearty amount of bubble wrap and duct tape).

Every now and then I have to suppress the urge to go and hug my bookshelf.  If I ever get around to cleaning up around here I'll take a picture of it.

.... Damn. O_O *bows*

Some of the Graph and Kaegki came from the freebie box at Takarazuka-an. As for the rest...well, there's a reason I'm broke ^^; But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

It's the euphoria of Takarazuka! ^___^

Whoa...O__O

There are people who have much larger collections than mine, but I'm proud of the Takarazuka stuff on my bookshelf XD

*laugh* You too? I frequently get distracted whenever I walk by it (which is bad considering it's right by my bedroom door XD).
I still think you're very brave for sending them all via sea mail. -_-;

[muffin-song.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't send them all by sea mail by a long shot. But unfortunately I had way too many books to send them all by air mail, either. So I broke it down into three piles depending on how upset I would potentially be if things got damaged. The most important stuff actually went into my suitcase. The next category went by air mail. And my collection of Graph and Kageki issues all went by sea mail. I love Graph, but I have way too many issues. I would have been upset if they got lost or damaged, but in the end they're pretty easily replacable.

Post pictures. :D I love those. Although mine looks rather sad right now because it's just a couple things scattered into my school books. But I assuredly do have Western fandom's most impressive collection of binders devoted to Ahi. ;)
