I don’t normally buy these two magazines because they just don’t have Megami’s evil pulling power (or increasingly Comp H’s). Got them in exchange of gifts between friends, with me drawing from my ComiKet loot pile; really glad to get these magazines, some of the feature articles have lovely illustrations as well as some sweet goods. :)

To be brutally honest, I bought this issue mainly for the Konata pencilboard. But that’s ok as I really like this shitajiki. As Shingo pointed out in his review, none of the posters had the ‘OMG must buy and hang’ always on my mind level of Megami-type evilness but the Lucky Star content was enough to keep me satisfied.

Stripey and I marched into our usual loot supply depot, intent on sharing the purchase of Megami 84 - I wanted to the StrikerS comics cover and he would keep the rest of the magazine. Lo and behold, our dealer approached me with a twinkle in her eye. ‘This issue of Comp H’s you sure like one!’ I thought I could resist as I already had some psychological preparation from Shingo’s review. But it wasn’t one of the posters that caused me to swallow hook, line and sinker and open my wallet to purchase the issue. It was:

Aaah, sweet loot. Pride of place is the Lunamaria Hawke pencil board which Stripey mailed to me just in time for the Big Three-Oh. Thanks again, bro!
The rest, accumulated over a period of seven weeks, is the complete Noir DVD set. Am really enjoying the write-ups that accompany it and the sheer dedication of the production process helps to explain why this is one of my favourite classics. The only fly in the ointment was the cutting of that the scene where the little children were shown to be carrying arms in the Soldats village.

Watching this series a second time, Kirika’s Letter was just dripping with raw desire and longing which Mireille obviously understood… :)

It’s generally agreed that KannaMiko’s plot doesn’t make sense but has a fair strong following anyway due to the fan service element as well as the sheer intensity of Himeko and Chikane’s relationship.

This one is from the front of the KannaMiko pencil board that I bought for JPY 380 (SGD 6) and I found it so gorgeous that I bought two. One to use on my desk and another to be safe kept like a collector’s item. Download 1280 x 1024, 1.27 MB. It looks a bit too bright so any suggestions to improve it will be warmly welcomed.

And the back, in sepia tones, with our two favourite lesbian shrine maidens’ story in grammatically correct English. Download 1280 x 1024, 1.14 MB.
But as yuri wallpapers go, Erica’s “Lesbian Approved!” wallpaper (featuring everyone’s favourite Rosa Gigantea Sei Satou) still comes up tops. :)
Also I like the KannaMiko winamp skins by lildragon who is also a Chikane x Himeko fan. - Zyl
