Oh, it worked xD.
Then, to get our hands on the second extra we need to buy the animate version? That would be really difficult. *O*
Either you have someone you know in Japan, either you go to Japan, either you use a website like Tenso that'll offer you a Japanese adress (you make your order ship there and then they charge you to ship it to you). And maybe someone will eventually show up on the Ayano Yamane livejournal to offer a group order.
I'm glad obsession doesn't tempt me (a whole lot) to buy 3 of the same VF volumes in a language I can't read. I'll just settle for the crappy edition they'll offer us in English... 20 years from now.
Actually, I'm just saying "crappy" because I'm jealous as hell at not being offered a frou-frou English edition :P
I have a question I think you've answered here before but I can't exactly remember... you once mentioned your Finder Vol. 7 came a booklet or something extra that the English edition didn't have? Which extra was it? My edition has 3 extras: the one where Akihito goes to the beach, the one about the fireworks, and the first Manager Takaba dream.
[My chosen obsession unfortunately is more devastating to the wallet...]
I don't plan on buying the Animate one though, the shipping for the first one will be enough xD. But yeah, if it wasn't for me being actually quite decent at reading Japanese (can read most of the text in mangas no problemo, the dictionnary does the rest) and planning on taking courses in a couple months, I probably wouldn't. It depends on what you're looking for aha. I don't even plan on buying the future volumes in French anymore.
Mmh, Animate had "The Day Businessman Asami Ryuichi's Little Monster Arrived" and the regular and Amazon limited edition ones "Hardworking Manager Takaba Akihito's Seductive Night of Overtime".
But yeah, each edition has the extras you mentioned, the exclusive extras come in a separate booklet with the limited editions.
!!
I would love to be able to read the original Japanese tankōbon!
Thanks for answering my question. I'm going to guess the aphrodisiac extra is going to be a part of the limited edition of Vol. 8 :(
The more I think about it the more it seems like it'll be extras we haven't seen yet. I mean, if it's going to be exclusive extras, maybe not publishing them in a magazine is the way they're doing it? I'm not sure, I haven't been a fan for that long, volume 7 was already released. But if my memory serves me right I think that's how the scanlators got their hands on them, by buying the volumes.
But the previous Pink Gold extra was included in and wasn't exclusive, so I assumed it'd too be included in the book itself. The only one actually, there hasn't been any other extras published since volume 7 ._.
You could be right. I don't think Fei Long's extra was published in a magazine, but it was an exclusive extra for the novel.
About the extra where Takaba, Asami and Feilong are at the hotspring, was it included in a booklet of the previous volumes (6 or 7), or was it in a magazine ?
And I didn't understand for the Animate site about the ship outside Japan.
I think it was the one included in Volume 6, and that there was only one version at that time (like, not three of them), but that's just me guessing, since at the very least it was that in the French version. Never heard of an Animate version of volume 6 so...
The deal with Animate is that it doesn't ship worldwide. One would need a Japanese address or go grab a copy themselves in the stores.
Ahem, not sure I worded it right, what I meant is that the limited French edition had that extra in a separate booklet, so yes it is very likely that it was the case for the Japanese edition too.
Thanks for your answers ;) Ah too bad for the limited edition but it's ok because the French version isn't very great. I just read a few pages and I understood quickly (horrible vocabulary + it isn't detailed like the english version).
Again, thank you for answering me.
It's nothing aha. Anyway, you can't find any of them anymore, they were limited editions. I myself don't have it either.
The vocabulary isn't too bad to me :3. It's just that in French you don't talk the same way you write, so it does end up sounding a bit akward, but with an even richer vocabulary it'd be even more so aha. And after reading all of the books and comparing bunch of translations it doesn't seem to have not enough details, it was better than most to me. At least it stayed very true to the original.
But I really enjoy them talking with some slang like that, I guess it's an acquired taste xD.

There's three pictures. Choose between the first and the last one for the cover you prefer (the first is the normal one, the second is exclusive to Amazon). Both are limited editions and have the same booklet anyway.
They have a box with an arrow, click on them and then click on Amazon.
The middle one is exclusive to Animate stores, meaning it's a real pain to get a hold of outside of Japan (at least to my knowledge aha). It has an extra different from the other two though.
