Goodies

- Lucky Star handphone strap
- Lucky Star X’mas card
Some highlight reviews

- Navel x Lime 2007-2008 exclusive highlghts
- Lucky Star 2007 yatoke reppo? (やっとけレポー duno what is that :P )
- Da Capo II
- Fortune Arterial (as always)
- Higurashi no Naki Koro ni Kakera Asobi

Prolly if you have noticed, the cover girls for this issue’s comptiq are from Navel’s upcoming visual novel Ore tachi ni tsubasa wa nai which is scheduled for a June 2008 release (that’s far) and if you have never heard of Navel before, I hope you have heard of Shuffle!, they are the company who did this game. Nothing really special about issue for me, even the Lucky Star goodies doesn’t seem appealing to me

[Highlights]

It’s all about love from Nanoha in this issue and Lucky Star (^^”). Sadly, I might not be buying this though..pretty tight on the pockets. The supplements in this issue are definitely tempting. ;)

- Da Capo II writeups

Obviously, the main attraction of this magazine would most likely be the mini preview on the upcoming School Days OVA. Most of the anime cast will also return, including the VAs for Makoto, Kotonoha, Sekai, Setsuna and of course Kokoro.

Some highlights

- Some Code Geass present box ?
Pinups:
- 「CLAMP IN WONDERLAND2」描き下ろし＆CLAMPインタビュー
- Code Geass voice cd ? ＮＴOriginal Ver.
- Lucky Star and SHnY book card set

Newtype continues to bore me, no, it is not because the magazine  is boring but because of the cover of mecha animes. It is about time they change to something else. I am wondering what is the Lucky Star book card all about…and of course, B2 sized Konata poster?! hmmm sounds interesting indeed.

Well, I have translated as much as I can, info might be a little inaccurate. Anyway, this copy is another interesting grab for those who are keen to know what the anime, H20 is all about. What caught my attention was the Fortune Arterial writeup! W00t!

[Highlights]
Megami Nov is filled with Nanoha goodness in conjunction with it being the 90th issue anniversary. The usual posters that covers many animes of different variety.

Some nice posters
- Nanatsuiro Drops (Sumomo & Nadeshiko)
- Lucky Star
- Clannad (Nagisa!!)
- School Days (omg..ecchi)
- Seto no Hanayome

Some of the upcoming anims are featured in this issue as well but of course, its main highlight is still Nanoha StrikerS (a very big poster). You can purchase it via Amazon.jp now.

I am sure many of you guys are gonna rush for this magazine, eh? ;)

[Highlights]
CompAce (コンプエース) November issue is available on retail now and as usual, there’s a small writeup of the preordering of Lucky Star Nendoroids.

Some highlights
- A new Fate manga ? Fate/Kaleid Liner which features Ilya.
- Lucky Star collectables - a trading deck box ? and Lucky Star hand towel which features 2 characters cosplay as Fate characters (Saber and Rin)
- Preorder for the Lucky Star Nendoroids are available on this issue as well

Not much interesting stuff for me, the hand towel looks good but I guess I will pass it if KKnM brings it in here. The Fate/Kaleid Liner seems interesting, I am wondering if it could be an alternate retelling of the story before Fate Stay Night from Ilya’s perspective.
