Title: Renai Sousa – Original Perfume & Clear card (with exclusive case) Completely supervised by Hasukawa Ai-sensei
「恋愛操作」蓮川愛先生完全監修オリジナル香水＆クリアカード（専用ケース付）
Price: 4,725 Yen (w/tax)
Purchase from: Comicomi Search for the title cos direct linking to the product doesn’t work.
Bottle size is about 9.5 x 4.5 x 3cm / 50 ml. Clear card size is about 5.8 x 8.8cm. Material of bottle is: transparent glass with silver printed leaf design. Full colour printed card.
The scent is described as floral and suitable for adults. The bad thing about the internet is that it can’t transmit scent. So curious about these perfumes :) Bottle design is a little boring though. I’m not sure if it is a limited edition item. It was available since December 2010 and was sold out. However, it is restocked at Comcomi recently.
I’ve not read this manga series but it seems that the reviews are pretty good :) It is quite a popular series if I’m not wrong. Not too difficult to figure out the pairing from the illustration but I had to double check their names to be sure. That’s Okumura Takashi x Yamashiro Kei (奥村喬 x 山代啓). There are currently 3 volumes and the first two are licensed in English.
Apparently the series has been dramatised too… Konishi Katsuyuki x Narita Ken (小西克幸x 成田剣) lol~ yes… it’s Narita Ken uke. And his character is a pushy uke who tries to seduce the seme. Not my top choice for uke voices but I can’t say for sure if he was good in this series since I haven’t listened to the BLCDs. He is paired with Konitan who is an almost guaranteed awesome seme :D People who like manly BL pairings probably should give it a try and that includes me ^^;;
Summary grabbed from the net:
When Takashi Okumura hired Kei Yamashiro, an interior designer, to fix up his place, he never expected to pick up a lover at the same time! But the two have pretty strong personalities and both are intent on taking the lead and setting the pace of their relationship. Will Okumura’s sweet talk or Yamashiro’s pride win out in the end?
There’s an enjoyable review for the series here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=267732

But there’s only EMS right? But no proxy fees, that would help a lot! Sample would be great. Or if only they had made it cheaper, then even if we don’t like the scent, it wouldn’t be so bad.
@mai: Yep only EMS, no SAL which is a pity but I think it protects them cos there’s proof that they shipped the items. And from what I understand, shipping by SAL is more labour-intensive because they have to bring the package to the post office personally. As for EMS, the postman will come and pick them up from the office. I wonder if they have many international customers.
@Ponytale: You should definitely try if you have the chance. I can’t say it’s one of the best but it’s one of the better yaoi out there, and the art is pretty. =D I’m curious about these perfume, but seriously, bl merchandises sure are expensive! 4000+ yen not including other fees, and with the current exchange rate, it’s as expensive as brand name perfumes. ^^;;
@mai: I’ll definitely keep them on my list! :D Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah, yep… but Comicomi ships international, so at least we don’t have to pay proxy fees. Ah~ if only we can sample it and it’ll probably be more worth it if we like the scent.
