Attn: Soul Eater doujin fans (or anybody who likes unique doujin products in general)
Prio is selling doujinshi from her website again and the Soul Carnival color anthology is currently up for grabs.
Soul Carnival, by the way, is just a really neat freakin' book in the way that it's put together. The selling point is, of course, that it's 20 pages of color illustrations by 16 different Soul Eater artists (including this gorgeous illustration by Prio herself and an amazing Maka/Kid/Star pic by Tepopomura), but it also comes wrapped in a "cover" that's actually a paper bag decorated with Blair on the outside and 16 circle-cut illustrations from each of the anthology artists on the inside. Also there are Halloween-y type tassles affixed to each cover, and my copy came with an extra boobalicious Tsubaki pamphlet tucked inside.
Here's a picture of what the book looks like inside and out (and please to be ignoring the stuffed monkey as she is only there to hold open the book pages for y'all to see):
I know that a few of you reading this are doujin collectors and I would definitely recommend this book based on the fact that a) it's a pretty unique item put together in a unique way and b) it has TWO - yes, TWO - gorgeous pics from Tepopomura in it, and her work is always so freakin' hard to find especially since she has no web presence. Okay so one of the two Tepopomura pics is actually her circle-cut illustration on the inside cover of the book's outer wrapper, but even still it's a completely adorable drawing of the Troika in Halloween costumes so it's an automatic win in my book.
If you live outside of Japan you will need to use a proxy service to order from Prio's website, and you will probably want to order more than one book to justify the cost of the service fees. I HIGHLY recommend the other two Soul Eater Boy/Girl anthologies available on her website, both of which are huge (each 76 pages respectively) and surprisingly high-quality throughout. The original Soul Carnival anthology of black-and-white drawings, as well as a beautiful Black Star/Tsubaki book (Viola Mandshurica) are also available, but I don't know for how much longer.
