秋田書店本月四日上市的的漫畫雜誌《チャンピオンREDいちご》第十集，由於恥度尺度非常辛辣養眼，直逼十八禁作品，不但讓アキバBlog報導了整整三天，名店・とらのあな（虎之穴）1号店的存書在上市後僅三日就售完。

開幕的前一晚, 我前往台北展演二館門口探視徹夜排隊的情形.

雖然準備徹夜排隊的還不到一百人, 但是其實從11日下午展前記者會結束時就已經有人開始排隊了.

13日早上的人潮:

趁尚未正式開幕, 先輕裝簡從地去看一看.

遠遠就看到這佔據了整面外牆的 Sony Vaio 廣告, 讓我有不好的預感...

謎樣女友Ｘ 第三集
風人物語 DVD 1-3 (全) 附風貓手機吊飾一只
Newtype 七月號

謎樣女友Ｘ第三集是預定一定要買的, 而風人物語之前雖然想買卻一直沒有下手, 直到這次注意到它改為合輯並添加了風貓手機吊飾之後才入手的, 而 Newtype 當然是衝著涼宮啦.

先把戰利品擺出來, 詳細後補.

Spoil of war first. More later.

右邊四本半商業的日本大手本不計, 我居然只買了六circle九本, 而且除了ARIA本是不熟悉的circle之外, 其他都是過去買過多次的作家或circle. 看來我也是愈來愈挑.

I only bought nine volumes from six circles (excluding four semi-commercial ones at right). Furthermore, only the ARIA doujinshi was by a circle I was not familiar with; all others were written and illustrated by famous circles whose products I've bought before. Looks like I have become more picky now.

1000 - 與CR琵琶湖支社長及三位友人會合, 前往站前地下街的 Mr. Donut, 可是沒開, 只好轉往公館店, 順便去綠林寮.

1030 - 抵達公館, 吃完甜甜圈, 這次換綠林寮沒開, 只好又殺回台北車站, 等於是專程去公館吃甜甜圈. 囧rz. 發現一位同行友人的手機也是 Motorola E2, 不過輸入法不同.

1100 - KMall 地下室的遊戲便利屋. CR琵琶湖支社長看到一旁的遊戲檯, 忍不住下場玩了一回.

在上週的爭議性話題之後, 我想起來還沒在漫畫出租店裡看到萌少女的戀愛時光第二集, 向老闆查詢的結果是"借閱率過低, 不打算補書" (從去年九月至今僅有三人借閱). 俺索性一不做二不休, 把三本都買下來.

After the controversial debate last week, I remembered that I had not yet seen the second volume of Kodomo no Jikan in manga rental. After consulting with the owner, she told me the "renting rate was way too low and I have no intention to acquire further volumes" (there were only three renters since last September). So I determined to buy all three volumes myself.

雖然台北國際書展在前天傍晚六點就結束了, 不過昨晚還有最後一個相關活動 -- 宮崎吾朗出席在台北的"地海戰記"特映會. 我搭乘計程車去參加, 沒想到車子走錯了出口, 提前下了快速道路, 結果卡在車陣中, 比預定時間晚了二十分鐘才抵達. 雖然司機先生很有禮貌地道歉且少收了我的車資, 但是仍然沒能趕上, 又聯絡不上博偉的工作人員 (後來才知道她手機電池已耗盡), 沒有門票的我被擋在電影院入口外又等了約二十分鐘. 後來雖然終於與博偉取得聯繫, 但是為時已晚.

五樓的紀伊國屋書店在電影院入口外擺了個攤子, 販售"地海戰記"的原著與畫冊等周邊商品. 我在稍微瀏覽之後想, 既然都坐計程車來了, 不如去紀伊國屋看看也好.

Although TIBE 2007 had ended at 6 PM on Sunday, there was another event last night: Goro Miyazaki attending the special premiere (not open to general public) of Gedo Senki in Taipei. I took a cab to cover the event, but the driver took a wrong exit and got me stuck in traffic, and I arrived 20 minutes later than planned. Although the driver apologized politely and even gave me a discount fare, I was unable to catch the event; worse yet, I couldn't manage to contact any staff of Buena Vista Interactive (later I learned that her cell phone battery was dead due to heavy usage on that day). Without a ticket or pass, I was left standing at the gate of the theater for another 20 minutes, before I finally got contacted with BVI staff. It was all too late, then.

Books Kinokuniya Taipei, located at the fifth floor of the same mall, had a small booth selling original novels and artbooks of Gedo Senki. After skimming through those items I thought, "darn, I've spent money on a cab here; it would be a waste if I don't window shop at Kinokuniya.

進去之後首先令我感到驚訝的, 是英文書不比日文書少, 甚至有很多英文版的漫畫 (Viz, Tokyopop 等等), 當然日文漫畫還是最大宗, 足足有一整面牆. 在一個不起眼的角落擺著一些不是很知名的畫冊, 但在其中我找到這個:

The first thing surprised me was its abundant English books -- no fewer than Japanese ones, including many English manga published by Viz, Tokyopop, etc. Of course, Japanese manga is still the biggest category, having an entire wall dedicated to them. A few not-so-popular artbooks were shelved in a relatively unnoticed corner, but I found this among them:

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

夏娜篇: 透明海報, 進口浴巾.

Shana: clear poster, imported towel.

涼宮篇: 掛軸, 紙袋, 資料夾 x 5, 小說. 鶴屋的胸部太平了吧... 簡直比長門的還要平.

Haruhi: wall scroll, paper bag, file folders x 5, novel. Tsuruya-san's busts are way too flat... even flatter than Nagato's.

其他篇: Saber 掛軸, 光速蒙面俠21紙袋 (贈品), 艾瑪 維多利亞導讀本, 我的太太是魔法少女 2, R.O.D The TV 7.

Others: Saber wall scroll, Eyeshield 21 paper bag (gift item), Emma Victorian Guide, Okusama wa Maho Shojo 2, R.O.D The TV 7.

書展當然少不了限量商品, 折扣, 以及新發行/代理的商品. 這篇我會把我有興趣 (或許讀者也有興趣) 並已購買, 已確定會購買, 或是有可能會視情況與品質購買的商品. 粗體字加底線代表已買或必買; 底線代表可能會買.
