#dear plus

Hello lovely humans!!! ❤️💛💜

I'm happy to say that my Dear+ magazine arrived today (and earlier than expected, too)!! 😍

Unfortunately, I have to go into the office on my day off because we're so dang busy this week, so I can't read this new delish chapter straight away! 😭😭

BUT I'm hoping to get the takeaways up in the next few days! For now, please enjoy a little sneak peak from this chapter~ Onodera says, "Apparently he has a date." 🤭

I'll see you again soon for the actual takeaways!! ❤️💛🥰

Hi lovely humans! ❤️💛💜

Hope you've been well! My copy of Dear+ finally arrived today!

Hoping to get the takeaways up in the next few days~

Had a flick through and ohhhhhh~ this chapter is 👀🥺🥲😭🥲😍🥰😘👀❤️💛💜 (no spoilers, only emojis)

Hello lovelies! ❤️💛💜❤️🤍💙

Hinohara-sensei just dropped all the upcoming goods you'll be able to find at her upcoming exhibition from Thursday, the 23rd of September!! 😍🥰✨

These particular images are from this Dear+ Twitter post! Alternatively, you can also view the complete listing on Hinohara-sensei's Gengaten webpage here!

If you're not in Japan and would like to purchase these goods, remember:

🎉 These goods will be available on Animate Online after the exhibition for mail order! 🎉

If I am correct in my assumption, you probably won't be able to get these goods through Animate International. So your best bet would be to order through a Japanese Proxy Shopping Service!

Also, can I just take a minute to gush over all the illustations?!?!?!?!??

*Internally: ASDFGJLDFJKBWLIUVBLKDSJVB OH MY GAWD! 😍😍😍*

The exhibition runs until Monday, the 4th of October, so we should see the listing soon after on Animate! (Gives us time to prepare, haha!)

Not too sure how long these goods will be available on there, so my only advice is to prepare your selections well in advance, and to order when the items go live to order!

Thank you for reading this far! 💜 Good luck in your preparations and let's continue to support Sensei in her current and future endeavours! 🎉

I interupt your Thursday to bring you some news!

First is this lovely teaser photo of Sensei's illustration book front cover!! 😍🥰✨

This screenshot from HorinLoveBooks (link below)!

THEY LOOK SO DASHING IN THOSE SUITS! Actually, they look quite DARLING! (Get it? hahah) 😍❤️💛💜❤️ I'm so keen to see all the illustrations in a physical form, in my hands!

If you're itching to order a copy of the illustration book, have no fear! I have found (so far!) 3 websites that are currently taking preorders:

1. Comi Comi Studios - https://comicomi-studio.com/goods/detail/134519

Bonus Item: B5 Clearfile

2. HorinLoveBooks - https://www.horinlovebooks.com/catalog/667795/

Bonus Item: B5 Illustration Sheet

*I feel like I should warn you guys, but this BL bookstore website is 18+ access only. A dialogue box pops up for you to confirm you are 18+ as they will not serve customers under that legal age. So, if you are underage, please refrain from accessing this website. That's my public safety announcement!

3. Animate - https://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/pd/1977788/

UPDATE 2021-09-06 Bonus Item: Extra Book Cover with a different illustration (like a sleeve? It's a separate piece of paper to wrap around the book)

Not sure how long preorders go for, so please order through your chosen proxy service well-before the release date (25th September 2021) to ensure you get the bonus items! 😉

Second, it seems there will be new, original goods that will be released at the exhibition, according to this tweet from Hinohara-sensei!! 🙌

🎉It also states that these goods will be available on Animate Online after the exhibition for mail order! 🎉

Exciting times ahead, everyone! Keep an eye out on Sensei's page for more details on this, as well as the Dear+ and Exhibition Twitter accounts, and support Sensei when and where you can! I will endeavour to post updates when I see them!💜

Hello lovely humans! I hope you've all been well~ 🥰❤️💛

Hinohara-sensei has given us lots of updates on her Twitter!

In this tweet from Dear+ 's Twitter account, she has updated the header image on her website, and it features her main illstration for her upcoming exhibition! It shows all our favourite characters from all of sensei's works so far! Uwaaaah, I missed Rin and Chiharu so much! 😭

❤️💛💜❤️🤍💙

The post also mentions a lottery where participants have the chance to win a mini shikishi (illustration board). If you're interested, check out the link in the tweet! The deadline is Wednesday, 23rd August JST.

Our next set of updates come from sensei's twitter!

Tweet (1)

Chapter 14 of Therapy Game Restart has been published in the September issue of Dear+. Although it's a short chapter, thank you again for your support! 🍞 [Also has an image of Onodera with a cat]

Tweet (2)

I planned to be on break for the next issue (of Dear+), so the next chapter will be released in the November issue (out in October). I should be back to my regular schedule by then... 👀 Also out in this issue is information about the exhibition and the illustration book, so I shall give you further information on this at a later time!

And in sensei's final tweet for today, she tells us she has received the letters from the editoral department, and thanks everyone for their letters and kind words despite being on extended leave/rest.

Hinohara-sensei seems to be working really hard for her upcoming exhibition and illustration book, so if you are on Twitter, drop a message on her tweets to show her your support~

Thanks again for reading everyone! I shall see you all very soon for our Chapter 14 takeaways~ 💜
