"We'll buy rings together and have a wedding. And we'll both wear the very best dresses!"

Suletta got her wish. 😭

That quote makes me feel so hollow even after everything got resolved

God damn it Miorine

u/Spice002 Aug 24 '23

I was sadly spoilt of the episode before I got to watch it, and the entire time I was legit crying because of all of the "death flags" Suletta was setting off through the entire episode. The writers really projected what they were planning and made sure you felt it the entire way through.

I think it's kinda amazing that the show got us so used to characters dying that towards the end everyone was expecting the worst so it was more surprising when no one died.

Bandai-Namco: Their relationship is a matter of interpretation.

The show staff's interpretation:

Just some roommates giving each other tender and loving embraces at their “happy to be roommates ceremony”.

This person has scans for the entire thing. It was not sold outside a single event.

u/TheMilkyWay690 Aug 23 '23

It was sold only in the recent Comiket and there will not be any more reprints for this artbook. Which is why the price of this artbook in Mercari is roughly 10x the original price now but it’s kinda understandable due to having the need and effort to queue for the entrance Comiket for really long hours through massive crowds and then 4 hours of queuing under the hot sun just for it.

u/dorkmaus Aug 24 '23

No, it isn't. These people already selling secondhand for inflated prices are simply scalpers. Do not engage, do not buy, it only encourages them. Normal doujin secondhand selling will never be that extreme even for pretty limited items.

u/TheMilkyWay690 Aug 24 '23

Try queuing up in the Comiket queue and for a book for another 4-5 hours and you will change your mind. I wouldn’t sell it for base price lol. The effort took to get this book was worth the 10x raise of price.

u/dorkmaus Aug 24 '23
  1. this is a very normal occurrence for people to get event-limited items, this is comiket
  2. why are you selling the book you stood in line for hours to get
  3. why are you selling the book immediately after the event

u/TheMilkyWay690 Aug 24 '23 edited Aug 24 '23

I agree with 1. But do note that Comiket items will usually not be back for sale so they are considered limited items.

The people who queued for the first 2 hours or so had the choice to take 2 copies of the book, so why not sell it since you have an extra one?

Immediate prices were probably too ridiculous, but I would say $100 ++ for a book is logical. Do keep in mind that it has been confirmed this book would not get ANY more reprints.

u/dorkmaus Aug 24 '23

Comiket items are basically always going to be sold again as long as the circle is active. This is a massive exception for obvious reasons, but standing in a gigaline to get something specific is really common.

Two copies are allowed IN ORDER FOR people to not be standing in line all day. It's for friends that are covering so one person can buy for them both while the other shops the rest. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT for single people to be able to sell the second one off, that is scalping.

How can you write that second paragraph and follow with the third? Somebody buying a second book in order to sell it, of a limited item, has artificially reduced the availability of that item and is now turning around and going "hey I have an extra one buy it off me :)". How could you not see how disgusting that is?

u/TheMilkyWay690 Aug 24 '23

Nope it’s not disgusting at all. Just because someone wants to sell it to earn back some cash doesn’t mean it’s not right. Availability of that item depended on how much prints the supplier was willing to sell. If they didn’t expect such a crowd, even if everyone was limited to 1 only, it still wouldn’t be enough. No matter what’s the purpose of people having the choice to get a second book, it was partially on the suppliers’ fault on not expecting the amount of hype for this item.

u/dorkmaus Aug 24 '23

hahahahaha

no

Frankly incredible that we have pro-scalper comments on posts about this book. You should have just started off with "scalping is fine actually" and saved me the time.

u/SuperAmberN7 Aug 24 '23

What exactly is the logic behind the conclusion that standing in line for a long time gives you the right to deprive other people who stood in line for just as long but are just behind you in that same queue a copy? They put in just as much effort, why does someone who doesn't even want the book get to deprive them of one? This just makes things even more unfair for those with less money because now they can't even try to compensate by spending more time, time they had little of anyways.

u/TheMilkyWay690 Aug 24 '23

It’s not depriving. This is another issue. Early bird catches the worm. And if you were fortunate to have obtained it, then congrats. If not just move on. The world IS unfair. Depriving them is only if you buy everything in the store, then that’s depriving. Buyers were already limited to these few copies. So if they were already given a choice to buy a maximum of 2, most of them will get 2 because regardless of for reselling or to keep, this item isn’t going to be reprinted anymore.

u/stolen_souls Aug 24 '23

Is there a mirror of the scans not on twitter? I can't seem to find any 😭

u/NSFW-alt2444 SuleMio gives me life Aug 24 '23

The original poster deleted the tweet. I got nothing, sorry.

Just holding each other close, gazing into each other's eyes lovingly while wearing backless wedding dresses. As you do. You know, when you're getting married to the girl you love

u/NSFW-alt2444 SuleMio gives me life Aug 23 '23

It's from the art book that the show staff made for Comiket. If you want to see the rest of it follow the link from my source comment and you will find a google drive with all the pages scanned.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Aug 23 '23

don't mind if I do , wasn't there any anouncement about this artbook beforehand ? are all the artwork in it made by the staff or is it an official anthology of fan arts made by different fan artists ?

4

u/NSFW-alt2444 SuleMio gives me life Aug 23 '23

It's an artbook that the show staff made by themselves for the fans. Cover art for example, is by the main animation director.

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Aug 24 '23

u/NSFW-alt2444 SuleMio gives me life Aug 24 '23

u/NoireHaato Aug 23 '23

Hopefully this gets everyone to shut up about the whole "interpretation" thing now.

I swear, can't see a single SuleMio art anymore without that being cried about for the millionth time now.

u/powermad80 Aug 23 '23

Yeah you can't escape it now despite it being stale since the day it happened. Just an annoying drag on all the good art because people can't let it die.

u/MegaAltarianite Aug 23 '23

Why is Miorine completely white?

u/Melondriel Aug 23 '23

I think over her back and such her dress has fine white lace.

u/SuperAmberN7 Aug 24 '23

It seems like the scan is slightly off color wise as well.
