Here’s the Haruhi Suzumiya light novel volume 1, the UPS mail just came in at 11:13 AM. You can buy it at Amazon.
What is a light novel?
A light novel (ライトノベル raito noberu ) is a novel primarily targeting teens and young adults. The term “light novel” is a wasei-eigo, or a Japanese term formed from words in the English language. Light novels are often called ranobe (ラノベ ranobe ) or rainobe (ライノベ rainobe) for short.
In short a light novel is just a book with more words then pictures. Just like the chapter books you used to read in elementary school.
The UPS man came at 1:30PM, *yawn* what a long day am tired.
Why did I buy it in the first place? Why not. (￣ー￣)
Pedobear originates in Japan where he was known as “Kuma” which is Japanese for bear. Japan is well known for their tolerance of pedophiles and many products related to sexuality with children such as lolicon which is a style of art that depicts childlike female characters in an erotic fashion.
Eventually “Kuma” became the mascot of the website 4chan and was soon after referred to as the now infamous “Pedobear”.

Here’s Alter version of Mina Tsukishiro, standing at a good 20 cm (1/8 scale), I ended up buying this figure at HLJ because they were having a 1st anniversary sale of their launch of their co.jp site. Mina Tsukishiro figure is based on the drama Densha Otoko
The plot follows the life of Yamada after a chance encounter with Saori, when he rescues her from a drunken man on the train. Saori sends him a set of Hermès tea cups as a thank you. Relying on advice from users on a website he is able to find the courage to change and eventually confess his feelings to Saori. The drama is filled with various dream sequences in which the characters use to portray their fantasies.
Densha Otoko Intro
Its a good watch if you never saw this drama before, anyway on to the review…
Here’s the Lucky Star Fate Cosplay Set I got in the mail a few months ago, this is one of the rarer nendoroids and very hard to find unopened. It was release in 2008 during Wonder Fest and cost 5,000 Yen (about $50 USA). Hard to find this figure for under $100, but you see company’s like Toylet who tries to jack up the price by 400%!
