Via Moon Phase Diary, the Integrated Dakimakura Research Institute, and the G’s Magazine official blog: Great news for the [ERO] Sengoku Rance fans! Not only is the game still rated over Fate as most recommended eroge by readers of Tech Gian, word is in from the latest issue of Dragon Age Pure that starting with its next issue (on sale December 20th) a Sengoku Rance comic will be serialized within, penned by none other than up and coming (ero)mangaka Sameda Koban. For those who can’t wait two months for their Sengoku manga fix, the first volume of Dengeki G’s Festival! COMIC will include not only an ero-ero Uesugi Kenshin dakimakura cover but also the beginning of a serialized Rance manga by Naruse Hirofumi. The latter is due out on November 26th, but as of posting I can’t find anywhere that has it up for preorder… We’ll be keeping a close watch on this one. Update follows:
Update: Dengeki G’s Festival! COMIC vol. 1 is now up for preorder from Mangaoh (international shipping available). At 1,800 yen this is likely one of the cheapest hug pillows you’ll ever come by, and it’s erokawaii Uesugi-chan to boot! In other news, word is in from Paradigm that Sengoku Rance is being novelized. It’s like surprise sex in your pocket, or something. Full pillow image below:
Cheap dakimakura? Must buy item must be bought.
OMG! OMG! Why can’t that website accept paypal….. I don’t have my own credit card yet….
Hey Shingo, any chance that Sengoku Rance might get picked up over here in the States?

Other places should get this in stock as well; I’ll be sure to post if it looks like a more Paypal-friendly shop will have her.
I so wanna do this… but so… so broke ;_;

Oh, how I wish it were so… if it was in my power to do so, believe you me I’d be bringing as much of the Alice Soft library over as possible. All I can do is try to bend the ears of a few people, and hope…

Where there’s a will, there’s a way! ;_;

I’ll console myself as best I can with that…
I asked Peter once about bringing over the more popular games and he said that the Japanese companies want licensing fees totally out of proportion to how much money their games would make over here. So sad.
Given the time yet left to get this, I’m sure Amazon will get it in before the preorder date is up….and then I will get it! ^^ Does the magazine version of Dengeki G’s always have come with dakimakura covers? I’ve had my eye on issue 10 due to Sumomo being in it…
>>lostdog
That’s certainly true for some makers, but others haven’t been approached, and without talking to them I think it’s a bit hasty to prejudge the conditions under which they’d be willing to license their games. At least, that’s what I’m trying to get across to the aforementioned few people…

Dengeki G’s occasionally comes with dakimakura covers, but it’s not a regular thing; around once or twice a year, I’d estimate.
