Anywho, just finished sending out emails/lj comments to everyone who has placed an order for Comiket through me, so if you haven't received word, please get back to me ASAP at feikoi [AT] gmail [DOT] com.
I've opened up a few more slots for Friday -- looks like that's going to be my main shopping day, unless I have another massive DRRR!!! order for Saturday. I really need to figure out my cosplay plans for that weekend too...and finish the damn cosplay. Gah.
Am pooped. Tired. And cursing out the hormones for making me slightly unstable the past few days. I do not like it. And tomorrow is a busy day at work, and I need to pay for an order at the post office and am afraid I won't make it in time, and... yeah.
Bed now.
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'll leave this post as is in case of rescheduling and for further discussion.
I will be offering my doujinshi and goods pick-up services once again, this time for Haru Comic City! This pan-fandom event takes place on March 20th, so I will be taking orders through 3/18 (US time).
Here's a summary of the process:
1. Get me your list of the circles you'd like me to visit, as well as any specific requests. This includes a Do Not Want list, pairing information (if applicable) and flyer requests. Links to circles/titles are appreciated.
2. Want goods, too? Goods that are large or awkward to carry may have an additional fee. Let me know what you're looking for.
3. Have a spending limit? Check out the fee breakdown below and let me know your limit, before or after commission and shipping fees. (Also, put your wishlist in order of priority if your budget is tight!)
3. I'll confirm the list with you, and start prepping lists and maps for the event. Deposit of expected commission fees should be paid through PayPal before the event.Update 3/12: With the recent confusion (and to be completely honest, my own laziness), I'll be forgoing the deposit req't this time. Before the event, I will confirm the shopping list with you. If I don't receive a reply/confirmation, I won't do the shopping. Full payment needs to be sent in before I ship. Sound fair?
4. Event!
5. After the event, I'll contact you with the results and a tentative subtotal. I typically use SAL small packet service to ship from Japan, which takes about 2 weeks to the US, and costs Y80+Y100/100g. If you want to use a different shipping service, just let me know. (Yes, I'll ship worldwide. :D)
6. Once I double check the order list and shipping estimate, I'll confirm the total with you. Please send the payment via PayPal in USD or JPY.
7. Order will be shipped that week (usually the day following payment, if there are no scheduling issues).
Note: Single item requests will be considered on a case by case basis, and are also subject to the minimum commission fee.
Fee breakdown (for this event only):
- Price of dj/goods
- Commission: Calculated per circle:
- Y500 or 30% the price of goods/djs purchased, whichever is greater.
- For figurines or large/awkward goods, there is an extra fee, to be discussed.
- Commercial booths and wall circles (popular ones, often with a long wait) will also incur an additional fee of Y500 per circle, after the base commission. At HCC, sections A and N in the west halls, and sections "a", "ta", and "mi" in katakana and hiragana will be counted for wall circles.
- S&H: Y200 + SAL small packet fees (under 2kgs)
Please comment here, PM or email me with any questions or orders!
