![]() Everything you could want for bento gear from a value store with prices starting at $1.50 unless otherwise stated. ![]() And then I found the glorified bento section:Ī whole aisle dedicated to bento gear unlike Marukai and Mitsuwa having a much smaller selection. I said,"Hey, since we're in the area lets check this store out." I keep reading people's comments about getting their bento gear from Daiso and I've only been to Marukai and Mitsuwa. Lastly, I just discovered this mythical Daiso store while traveling with my family. For the price of $16, I feel like I got a better deal but I live within limits where I can drive to Asian communities that have these stores to cut down on shipping costs from purchasing one online. It's big enough where I can still put an ice pack inside. The bag is what I believe to be better insulated, sturdy, and snug so the containers don't move around the bag. Alas, I guess I'll stick to wrapping full-size chopsticks in napkins and stick it in my schoolbag. It even comes with a neat pair of fork and spoon, but I was desperate to find a pair of collapsible chopsticks to put in the bag. Ta-da! Meet Lock & Lock's lunch box set with a volume of 1050 mL, which is perfect for the whole day I'm stuck at school. But now I want to get rid of it by selling it on Craigslist or something because I found something better for my needs. The downside was that it was a bit too skinny for my needs if I wanted sandwiches or salads. The plus side was that it was microwaveable with the lid off and it could fit in my messenger bag. The brand is what I presume to be Ag+ "Men's bento box" at the volume of 850 mL. "Memories are forgotten soon" explains why you need to check off what you have on the lid.įirst off, I got my first bento box from Tokyo Lifestyle for $15 which comes with 2-tiers, smaller-than-average chopsticks, and an insulated bag. Anyways, in the meantime I have been making efforts to bring stuff from home and what better way to put my need to make things presentable than going the way of the bento? I really should get back to reviewing stuff. But I haven't actually gotten around to reviewing more for some reason. to be honest, I have been playing games and reading manga. Overall, I'd say give this game a whirl if you're craving for an otome VN fix that's free, in English, and killing time for a short story. I have to give a hand at the female voice actor for making Ahri REALLY sound like a stuck-up bitch, but she kind of reminded me of Amanda Lee or other NA-based (or otherwise English) female voice actors. Not only was there no speech volume adjustment, but I had to deal with constantly adjusting the volume when one character spoke too loud and another spoke too low. Speaking of audio, while I appreciate the voiceovers, the volume was very inconsistent. It pains me to admit that Ahri is a nice change of pace to the passive, Mary Sue heroines in many otome games, but at the cost of being a stuck-up, clueless bitch given her background. Ryuu's story was a big more refreshing to Kenta's with a resolved ending. Kenta's story was kind of cheesy, because it takes on the master-servant relationship plot down to the tee, including implied reprecussions of breaking the taboo at the ending. There's no greater conflict other than Ahri getting by for one week without the comfort of her servants or palace (and that conflict quickly slams on her 2/3rds of the way into the story). You get the cosplay, doing-an-activity-thus-bringing-intimacy-together, accidentally hitting someone or getting hit yourself, and other plot devices. I think the team must have placed most of their time and resources into the art and voiceovers because the story is painfully short given the designated time and simplistic plot devices. The two guys you can pick are the loyal servant Kenta or the school president Ryuu. The premise is very simple, you play as Ahri Remono, princess to whatever European-style royalty family there is in Japan, who challenges her brother to a survival contest outside of her palace for one week. The art is very pretty and clean, sure, but it doesn't save the cookie-cutter plot. However, do not play this game thinking it's the next Hakuouki, Tokimeki, Hiiro no Kakera, or whatever big name otome game you fancy. I missed the hype train before the game without voiceovers came out, so I'm not struck down with disappointment. The game itself is really short with an hour max for each of the two available guys featured on the cover (depending how fast you read). My interest in otome games was re-ignited when I saw Pyrite Heart, voiced, clean art, and best of all- free! It started with stumbling on Guardian's Spell, a WIP by Winged-Cloud on Kickstarter. I'm back from the dead! Yes, this might as well be an April Fool's joke since last I saw, I posted way back in April 2013.
