Looking for feikoi's doujinshi services?
Summer Comiket is coming up! \o/
For those unfamiliar with Japanese doujinshi events, this is a massive three day fanworks convention with tens of thousands of participating artists -- and many more attendees. (The lines to get in are crazy! But so worth it.) This month, the doujin groups are starting to hear back whether or not they managed to get drawn in the lottery for a space at this event, so keep an eye out -- your favorite group might be attending!

fanservices ! Hope to see you there!
Hey guys, 
feikoi here, with yet another post on my services. Hopefully, for those of you interested in purchasing doujinshi (fan comics) and other goods in Japan through me, this will make navigating my journal a bit easier! I live in Tokyo, and collect doujinshi myself, so I've started offering shopping services and event pick-up services for people outside Japan. Let me know if I can help you!
- GOOD COMIC CITY 18 pick-up service Event date August 28th, order deadline August 26th EST. Commission rate is Y800 or 30% per circle, discounted wall circle fee at Y400.
- Group orders for online shops to be opened soon! Anticipated order date: September 7th.
-
GO NEXT! pick-up service Event date July 18th, order deadline July 16th EST. Commission rate is Y1000 or 30% of your entire order. Shipping can be combined with Comiket or other orders. Please email me (feikoi [AT] gmail.com) for details! -
Comiket 80 pick-up service: Event date August 12-14, final deadline August 10th EST. -
Trial run -- Online shopping service Available until the end of JuneNow closed to new orders -- open orders are awaiting contact from circles.
This service is now closed. I will likely be opening online orders again after the dust from Comiket settles. Thank you for your understanding! After multiple requests, I am now taking orders for online doujinshi shops and direct orders from circles. This trial service is open for business until the end of June. (In July and August, I will be unavailable due to travel and prepping for Comiket.)
SUMMARY SERVICE: Proxy for direct orders from circles and online doujin shops ORDER DEADLINE: June 30th CONTACT: feikoi AT gmail DOT com FEEDBACK: Click here!
Since it looks like I'll continue to offer more doujinshi pick-up services in the future, I'd like to clarify some information on the process and pricing. If it's still confusing at all, drop me a line and I'll try to clear things up. Thanks!
As always, please read the pricing and event details closely before placing an order. Check the individual event pages for exact fees, and let me know if you have any questions. I will assume that you agree to the stated fees for the event when you order. Estimated exchange rate as of 8/22: Y1000 = $13 USD.
Basic Service Information I offer a few different proxy services, getting the doujinshi (fan comics) and goods you want from Japan to you. For fan events I attend, I run a doujinshi pick-up service -- I'll visit the requested circle tables and make purchases for you there. These events are the best way to get new releases, as well as buying from multiple artists in the same fandom/genre. Events I'm attending, as well as others I've heard about, are listed on my event calendar. But sometimes, we might be between events, or a circle you're interested isn't attending. That's where my online ordering service comes in. If your requested items are still available/in stock, I'll order directly from the circle or from the online shop handling their sales. Online doujinshi shops include Toranoana, K-Books, livret, youclub, Melonbooks, etc.

Super Comic City 20 is coming up! I'm offering my doujinshi pick-up services again, so please let me know how I can help! Taking place on May 3rd and 4th (during Golden Week), Super Comic City is one of Japan's larger fan conventions, with 24,000 spaces over the two days. Fun, huh? You can follow the link above for the official Akaboo event page, or check out the Pixiv event pages for Day One and Day Two to see some of the circles that will be participating!
So how much does it cost?
The overall cost of the service involves the following:
- Price of the items (JPY)
- Y800 per circle, or 30% the cost of items from that circle (whichever is higher)
- Large/delicate goods handling fee, if applicable
- Shipping and handling fees
- 5% PayPal fee
Here's how it works:
- Get me a list of the circles and titles on your want-to-buy list. Want goods? Let me know! Large/awkward goods may incur an extra shipping and handling fee.
- I'll check the final list with you, and send you an invoice for down-payment. Down-payment is USD $8.00 per requested item, plus agreed-upon goods fees.
- Event! You relax, I shop! (And cosplay, as time permits :3)
- I'll let you know what items I was able to pick up from your list, the estimated shipping and handling costs, and send you a final invoice, minus down-payment. (If I was unable to pick up any of your list, or the final invoice is less than your down-payment, a refund will be given of the appropriate amount.)
- After I receive your full total, I'll ship your package out within a week, via the shipping method you selected and paid for.
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment here, PM, or email me at feikoi [at] gmail [dot] com. Order deadline is April 30th, EST, so get your order in now! In the case of multiple requests for an item with limited availability, it will be first come, first served. Thank you!

NOTES: The pamphlet is no longer available for pre-order, due to earthquake issues. I'll try to help with circle questions, but don't have the official list on me this time.
I generally do this thing for my sisters -- for their birthdays, or holidays, I'll get a bunch of clothes and accessories here. About half are Japanese fashion items, and the other half are things with random English or foreign language phrases on them that strike me as hilarious or adorable. It's usually wrong, or completely random. So, since I'm familiar with stores that offer these kinds of products, thought I'd make a gift pack to auction off for charity. :D
For example... here are some of the more random socks I picked up on a recent shopping trip:

Hello again! Movies Paradise 14 takes place on April 17th, and I'll be offering my shopping services once again. Take advantage of this opportunity to get doujinshi from your favorite Western fandoms!
Event info:
Movies Paradise is a smaller event that caters to Western fandoms. Described as 'Western movies, RPS and overseas dramas ONLY', comic book fandoms are also represented there. Previously, I've bought Supernatural, Inception, Marvel Comics, Watchmen, Doctor Who, Heroes, and Boondock Saints doujinshi and fan novels there, to name a few. (What can I say, I like action-packed media. ^^) This event is taking table reservations until 3/10; after that, a list of participating circles and links to their websites will be listed on the event page.
Note: Single item requests okay!
- Price of djs/goods
- Y1200 or 30% the price of goods/djs purchased, whichever is greater. With three or more buyers, minimum commission will be lowered to Y1000!
- For figurines or large/awkward goods, there is an extra fee, to be discussed.
- S&H: Y200 + SAL small packet fees (under 2kgs)
I'm trying out different commission schematics, so please bear with me and read the fee breakdown carefully before ordering.

I'll be attending this Bleach event in Tokyo on Sunday. Not sure how many on this list are interested in Bleach, but if anyone wants me to pick up doujinshi for them, I'm willing to offer my shopping services.
Please tell me your spending limit (including special 20% commission rate for this event, and shipping), and list the circles you want in order of priority as well as titles you DNW/already have. I can look for specific titles within those circles as well, but can't promise the availability. The pairing you are interested in would also come in handy. (I'll be hitting up all the RenIchi circles I can find for personal shopping, so I'm okay with looking for individual titles there :D)
Shipping by SAL to the US takes about two weeks and comes to about $1+$2/dj, depending on weight. Payment for order is through PayPal in USD.
Feel free to comment here or email me at feikoi at gmail dot com with any questions. I'll take orders through 2/12 11am EST (that's 1am Sunday morning). Event information can be found at http://bbb.moo.jp
Have a good weekend, everyone!
