Left is the Lunch Time version. Gaa… Keisuke is so cute… and so are everybody else <3 I can so hear him say… “Akira… can I sit next to you?” or “Akira… what are you having for lunch?” or something like that XD See Shiki’s pissed looking expression? Lol~
On the right is the Style version which is a Comiket exclusive item. I like the cute chalkboard style in this version as well :D Notice that “umbrella pairing” drawing that has Akira’s name written on the left? lol~ the name on the right was scrubbed off… how fittingly cute since Akira is supposed to be paired with everybody lol~

Canned bread! lol~ The illustrations are such love. If I do get my hands on these… it’ll be for the cans ^^;;; but I guess I’ll just wait for them to release an illustration/artbook.

No mention of a general release date but hopefully it is not a comiket exclusive. No size specs. :-]
This -IS- indeed another year of major wallet bleeding. Blood transfusion needed. OTL. There are more exciting news coming up… so watch out for them! ;)

I’m in college and it’s rare for the people here to bring packed lunch – especially in a lunch box but I’d really want that TnC lunch set. T^T
But it’s sooo expensive! >.< That's like, two-three months of allowance!
@vanijane: yea… I went (o_O) at the price too… I pack sandwiches for lunch sometimes but I think the TnC lunch box is kinda small as well and seems unlikely it can store what I usually make =_=;;;
Hi! I just recently discovered your site, I love all yummy stuffs you have here \(^ ^)/
Thank you for updating for us
tho I must say, all this goodies are just pure torture for poor fans who live oversea (like me T^T)
@akiyoshi: No worries :D Mmm I’m waiting for a general release for overseas… but some things are always Japan store only :(
I found pre-orders for the bento, and accessories at Animate. I think they will be released in October….

@Nagara: Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll update the post when I can X3
D: I’ll cry if it was only a special event thing! Do you know of any Japanese online auctions that I can trust and that can ship to the USA? I’m impatient (*0*)/
Btw: I always check back at your website, it’s how I find out the latest BL thingies in Japan! >< ~<3
@Gurl: Don’t panic. I’m quite sure these items will be sold eventually at a later date but not necessarily at online-shops that ship internationally tho. Usually Yahoo Japan auctions (http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/) is a good place to look for these items ^^ you can use a proxy to help bid for it like tokyobuyers.blogspot.com and http://www.crescent-shop.com I’ve used their services before and so far so good :) But usually after the shipping and handling charges, the total costs can go up to 30% and more so you’ve got to be prepared for that.
And thanks for dropping by and commenting :D Glad that the blog is useful to you!
D’aaaaawwwww >< Where can I purchase the Togainu no chi lunchtime set? I must know!
@Gurl: They were only sold at comiket but since it wasn’t listed as limited or exclusive, there’s a good chance they’ll pop up as general releases :) So keep watching this space! I’ll update when there’s news about it. But if you can’t wait, Japan Auction sites are probably the only places you can find them now.
Wow, this lunchbox is adorable! I wish I can buy them, but they’re pretty expensive! ;_;
school uniform!Shiki reminds me of those common shonen manga school thugs with the big black long coat, except Shiki doesn’t have a silly hairstyle! :P
youji phone strap askdjhasdkjfhldkjfhald
@hiroshichan: yeah… I personally feel that the set should be worth around 2500~3000 Yen or so… 4000 Yen is really too much and that’s not including all the additional fees we have to pay if we’re trying to import it from overseas :-\
XDD Hahaha delinquent Shiki… yeah. I would like it more if Youji was a proper plush than a phone strap ^^
omg! I want those! I really like the bento but >__< that's pricey….including shipping fees and other stuff…ehh I shall pass. I do want the buttons though.
I really like the hand towel too! I just love their school uniforms! And how they're all cute Yupon style :D
But what I really want is the Youji plush! OMG! I really want that so I can use on my phone~~~ Hopefully, I can actually grab him O:~
@momo: Yupon illustrations are awesome! XD Well, some of these items will be available at Gift online shop later on, so there’s no big stress to get them right now. Only a few limited items such as the towel… and all items are slightly cheaper than the retail price if you buy them at the event. And it seems that Youji will be available at the shop too so no worries there :)
want that bento so bad~ ;v;
Keisuke looks so damn cute lol. The price i super scary though.;
Ah is that really a can with bread inside!?0_0
I think i saw something about that on the news. are they really doing the canned bread over in japan?
@SaffronSugar: The swirly eyes are the appeal XD I love this illustrator’s style. :D I think it’s just bread packed inside cans lol~ but it is suitable for the desolated setting in the game.
@planck-chan: Youji is cute huh… I think they’re experimenting with the new product with him. For 2000 Yen he IS expensive. It’s really like 2/3 cost of original size plushie which he is 2/3 size of lol~
@sigma: Yeah :( so expensive! 4000Yen! After all the handling fees… OTL *dead* I’ll pass for now.
I think canned bread is just another packing method :P Maybe it’s easier to recycle cans than plastic? Just a guess. But most probably just another novelty packaging idea.
Everything so cute but again… aaah, don’t wanna see this! XDDDD
The Youji strap is cute but a lil pricey for me… prefer waiting for TnC new plushes!
fff omg the bento box is so adorbz… too bad the colourscheme is not to my liking ; w ; But I just love their weird little swirly eyes… also, canned bread? xD that sounds disgusting
