Sensei's Manga/Anime Stuffage Moving Sale

Post by **sensei** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 9:05 pm

Some stuffage that's been hiding behind the furniture but now has gotta go:

Set of "X The Tarot" cards. This is not a Kodansha product but a Hong Kong knock-off, so the quality of the pictures is not as good. Still creepy occult fun for CLAMP fans. Includes complete instructions for dabblers (in Chinese only) on how to lay and read tarot cards. Serious Clow-Reed/Crow-ley occultists will know what to do. $10 OBO

Set of six 2001-03 era comic books adapted from manga, including (woo-hoo!) the very first issue of the Chix Comix Cardcaptor Sakura series (includes only the first chapter of the tankoubon v. 1). Plus Dragon Knights (#1), Sailor Moon (#32: farewell to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), Oh My Goddess! (#5 and #10 from "Mystery Child" and #94 from "Traveler"). All are flipped and reproduced in standard US comic book size. All in pretty good condition, except that the SM issue has a creased corner. $6 OBO. Bonus! Johnny The Homicidal Maniac (#1: not anime but funky anyhow).

Interesting fan-produced booklet based on reproductions of CCS gengas illustrating the first scene of Episode 48 (Sakura and the Awakened Star Key). Sakura, depressed over her failure to get her transformed key to release in the face of the new challenge, arrives at school. There Eriol gallantly presents her with a bouquet of flowers to cheer her up, and Syaoran, arriving a little later, reacts with barely suppressed rage. Not original sketch art, but interesting in showing how the studio worked up a scene like this. $5 OBO

Set of four original Aa Megami-sama (Ah/Oh My Goddess) tankoubons: #1, #3, #4, #5. Includes first appearances of Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld, all in special color insert pages. $5 OBO. Bonus: I know I've got #2 somewhere, and if I find it before I ship, I'll include that at no extra cost.

Set of eleven facsimile gengas from Mushishi, sold by the studio to promote the theatrical release of the last five episodes (later released only on DVD). Excellent quality, and better images than many sold as copies on YJ since then. $10 OBO

Mailing costs to be negotiated: I'd be happy to use Priority Mail or Parcel Post/Media Mail as none of the items are original art.

Hmmmm, my best friend is Chinese (mom still speaks pretty fluently) and she likes Tarot.
Are the pictures pretty? That's the most important thing to her.

They are pretty, but if you compare them to the scans that are up on the web from official merchandise you can see that they are all just perceptively fuzzier, as you'd expect from a litho copy.

Mainly they don't resonate with me like my Robin Wood tarot deck, which is the one I use for readings, so they come in mint condition without any third-eye tracks.

I have to turn in my laptop for upgrading, so please excuse me if I don't answer PMs until tomorrow morning.

Hi Sensei! Good luck with your sales!

I may be interested in the Ah! My Goddess tankoubons, do you have a picture of them? Thanks!

I'll get you some pictures as soon as I can. Meantime, if anyone sent me a PM yesterday, please resend. I've had my laptop replaced by my univ. and it looks as if there were two messages that somehow got displaced that I can't now retrieve.

It's pesky when stuff hides behind the furniture. Good luck finding everything a loving new home.
