A little break, a point on bringing gifts etiquette. Although it is very personal, let’s list the things that make me happy when receiving gifts!
Amazon gift cards – light and pleasant. Also polite.
Dried persimmons – delicious, but they’re expensive to buy myself, so it’s polite.
Pokémon expansion packs – not sold at all, so it’s polite.
Tea – tasty. Also polite.
A letter – makes me happy.
Bath salt assortment pack – not quite sure, but probably polite.
This is just a self-talk, but the next Comitia is on June 1st. The neighboring circle is like comrades who share the same battlefield on the same day!
The person in the bottom left is pulling, isn’t he?
It’s better to check for allergies before using bath additives…
Dried persimmons…?
>>3Dried persimmons are the poison of phlegm.
Bath salts might be considered a breach of manners because they could be interpreted as “You smell, go take a bath.”
>>4Isn’t that soap?
Receiving an Amazon gift card out of the blue is…
It’s Mega Rhythm.
Megurhythm is the best!
It’s not hot yet.
Be careful, as gifts that one cannot imagine the recipient packing into a box and taking back when leaving are generally considered a nuisance.
I’m happy to have something that is thin and can be folded.
…deodorant sheets or…?
>>8Actually, that’s quite correct.
It’s the smaller package.
Isn’t it okay if it’s a plastic bottle drink?
Gold
Money is the most important.
>>11I don’t want to receive money from strangers…
>>13That’s why something like an Amazon gift card provides a nice buffer.
>>258That’s not good.
Homemade pound cake is the most exhausting…
>>12Handing out homemade food in this day and age is pretty crazy, right…?
It is desirable to have items that are highly durable and can withstand rough handling, preferably consumables.
In other words, it’s smoked.
>>14As a premise, don’t bring anything that smells.
>>14Do not attempt to re-summon the yokai.
I just bought it, but after reading it, I wanted to give one to a friend too, so please give me another one!
I might be happier with something like that.
A letter makes me the happiest.
I like bundles of cash.
>>18Cash can be a source of trouble.
The worst thing is that the police will come.
Absolutely don’t do it.
>>18If I received 500 million yen, it would be difficult to take it home…
Something like sweets in a box smaller than size B5…
Usually, we mix it all up with the inventory when we withdraw.
The big box makes me go “Uu…”
>>19If it’s a small circle, that’s okay too.
It’s better to avoid large companies (those that often send treats) even if they are small.
It often happens that you can’t finish eating or there’s trouble finding a place to put it.
In summer, sports drinks or…
>>20Maybe tea or water would be good… Drinking too much sports drink isn’t really good either.
>>20I mostly have the necessary beverages prepared already.
If that happens, it will just become a burden…
Buying only books without bringing snacks and then disappearing is the happiest.
Amazon gift cards make me the happiest.
Isn’t it okay if you don’t do anything?
Items with high “girl power” or accessories are annoying.
>>26You can just give it to the people you want to give it to.
Bringing in snacks is neither an obligation nor anything like that.
On top of that, let’s talk about bringing something that would make the other person happy.
>>29As expected, it’s smoked.
One summer, when I brought a Hiyalon, it was greatly appreciated.
I can send money with PayPay now.
After Comiket, I’m really exhausted and don’t even want to go to the convenience store.
Surviving on cookies brought in as snacks.
It’s relatively common among writers to have things like that.
It’s nice to have one or two bottles of bottled drinks.
When it reaches about 10 sticks, it becomes 5 kg just like that…
This is smoked dried persimmon that I made at home.
Is CalorieMate the best…?
>>34Whether it’s the best or not, it’s something that will make people happy.
It would really be a problem if it doesn’t last long.
>>34I can’t eat without water.
These are loquats and green onions harvested from the garden.
>>35“Stay away from raw food, nameless alter.”
If the person is not someone you know well or are close to, it’s better to refrain from homemade dishes or sweets.
Dried abalone
In the thread image, the little girl seems to look the best.
This is a mallard duck caught in our rice field.
Prepaid cards with unknown origins are scary…
It’s better to use a gift certificate that’s available in-store, even if it’s a bit inconvenient.
>>40I’ve heard that people have been given things like Amagif or Google Play cards but felt let down when they realized they weren’t items they could actually use at the register.
It might have been better that it wasn’t activated with a translation issue…
>>175If you use it improperly, your Amazon account might get banned, right…?
People who use Kindle find it particularly unappetizing.
In summer, there are times when even solid food feels a bit heavy on the throat, so a jelly drink is helpful.
After all, it’s the living.
It can be used when you want light too.
In the thread image, the Amazon gift card is the most appreciated.
It can also be exchanged for cash.
Prepaid card (used)
>>46It’s not a trash can.
Even if it’s a ready-made product, food is not acceptable, right?
>>47When the amount gathers, consumption becomes a challenge…
If you are not a big company, there are times when you may be appreciated.
>>52Big companies seem to be busy in general, so unless you’re really close to someone, you don’t really bring them treats…
>>58I think that’s fine.
The happiest thing is handing over a 10,000 yen bill, but maybe it won’t be like that!
It’s scary when you receive a 10,000 yen bill.
Calorie Mate is certainly appreciated.
It can be stored, so it can also be used as disaster preparedness supplies.
Is Pokémon Card the thing that makes you the happiest among these?
If I’m going to give you ten-thousand yen, I might as well buy that many books instead…
If it’s a sealed product, dried persimmons are the most delightful.
Homemade things can be scary.
A little bag of snacks will do, right?
Yes, the mountain of mushrooms.
>>56Actually, there are quite a few.
Ah, I realized that I wanted to have a conversation about which side I’m on…
It was after that person left.
Understood, I’ll give you some unfamiliar snack food from around Korea.
Dealing with the neighboring circle is a bit of a hassle since they can somewhat track personal information, and the exchange of treats is at best limited to just swapping published works.
Even if it’s pre-packaged, I throw away food and drinks.
It’s kind of scary.
>>63Well, I wouldn’t know if something got mixed in through a gap or something…
If I care too much, it seems like I won’t be able to receive anything.
>>63I wonder if these female circles that draw things like this are refusing from the start to cater to men.
Dried persimmons might be refused because they are said to be toxic for phlegm…
>>64Well, I need to bring in some hot water…
Female writers receive gifts like vibrators or dildos, right?
I’ve received a Gundam model kit as a gift before.
Dried persimmon…?
Bath additive…?
>>67Dried persimmons aside, bath additives are quite a standard for women.
It’s not a solid set like this, but rather the kind that comes in small bags and doesn’t take up much space.
It seems like you really need to go, so I’ll give you a diaper as a gift.
Just give them one new book, right?
>>70(A full-color critique book priced at 2000 yen)
>>77It feels a bit embarrassing to receive it through a booklet exchange!
Amagifu!?
If dried persimmons are okay, then smoked foods are okay too, right?
A new book for each of us is just right, isn’t it?
Did you miss the new release…? Sigh…
I think bath additives are more for female writers, but I’m not sure.
Aren’t you just listing the things you want?
>>76Isn’t this the case?
>>76Indeed.
>>76Well, it says that, after all…
Personally, I’m happy about snacks that aren’t made locally.
It’s not like it’s a Comiket or anything, but I receive energy drinks from fans at every event.
I’m happy.
1. It is better to give perishable gifts.
When something is handed to you while you are out, it becomes baggage.
I guess you only understand number 1.
>>84What do you mean by saying it’s better if someone buys about ten unsold doujinshi?!
It’s sweet potato, isn’t it?
A lineup like a delivery from the entertainment industry.
It’s scary that there are people who take it seriously even though it’s obviously drawn as a gag.
>>89The subject matter is very raw.
>>89I think only the circles that are well-acquainted with doujin events can feel that way.
>>89It’s the anonymous person who gets genuinely angry at the mockery of the Rider belt gachapon at Comiket.
>>89People who mix up stories and reality start taking them seriously and bring dried persimmons as a treat…
Isn’t sending an Amazon gift card a bit too much?
>>90It’s quite light, isn’t it, Amagif?
>>90The recipient should also handle it carefully.
Using something poorly could also lead to a possibility of getting banned.
>>115Isn’t it better if you cash it in?
It can be sold for about a 10% discount.
What does the guy handing out useless snacks want to achieve?
Dried persimmons are delicious, right?
Right now, the Switch 2 would be appreciated.
There are also writers who get excited when they receive a wish list.
>>95It’s still in an unopened state, and besides, I can choose the ones I want to be sent to me.
Well then, I’ll give you some ice cream balls!
“You’re no good with money, even though you’re taking it.”
>>100I’m… not a freeloader…
>>100I remember that the original premise was a contribution towards printing costs.
>>100Please slip it into a letter or envelope and give it to me.
I want you to be considerate enough to make an excuse that receiving the money was due to force majeure.
>>120
Kufū Kinban MAIZUIMON
This is what it’s all about!
To be honest, I’m just happy that my fans talk to me even without bringing snacks.
Isn’t it a breach of manners to take gag manga seriously?
But even if I pay for all the new publications, it probably wouldn’t make anyone happy…
>>105I’m happy, you know?
>>105It might depend on the timing…
It’s the opening, so you’ll have nothing to do, but if it’s near the end, it’s super lucky because you can take home any remaining stock.
>>117I would be happy if someone bought all the previously published works through online shopping.
Especially the one that is commissioned.
Food and drinks are out of the question; Amagift is troubling. In other words, fan letters are polite!
A letter that will be burned after reading it, so it doesn’t become a burden…!
In the thread image, the dried persimmons are questionable.
It itself can be divisive in terms of likes and dislikes, and some people consider it a breach of manners whether it’s sealed or pre-packaged food and drinks.
Dried persimmons can surprisingly go bad, so be careful.
I think you will be happy with the letter!
Comic Market has big trash bins set up, which is great, right?
I heard that individually packaged gummies are good, so I brought them just in case, regardless of whether I would give them or not.
The snacks received on social media often include Umaibo, don’t they?
It’s fine to have snacks sold at train stations.
You were told to just silently give the steam eye mask.
Aren’t you scared of food being handed to you by someone you don’t know at all?
>>126It’s scary in Nara when something is suddenly handed to you while walking on the street.
I would be happy if it were at a sale event.
>>139There are shy deer, huh?
I got an Apple gift card, but it’s not for an iPhone…
>>127Why would you give me such a Galapagos-like gift card as a present…?
Ah, this is a golden-colored monaka.
Only women can write God’s letters, right?
The umbrella helped me the most.
I’m the type who can’t feel satisfied without giving something back when I receive something, so I wish you wouldn’t do it.
If it’s a gift certificate, it’s better to have rice vouchers or beer vouchers.
>>136There are surprisingly many types of things like exchange tickets.
In some cases, you can choose the recipient, and it feels less like cash compared to gift cards, making it a fairly safe option.
Be careful as it may not be usable depending on the effort to exchange and the other party’s activity range.
Official illustrated telephone cards are well-received.
>>137If that happens, I’d be like, “Wait, are they actually releasing official telecards these days?!”
It’s a rare and convenient thing that disappears quickly!
Polonium!
>>138Wrestling!
Stop bringing baked goods in a box!
It’s hard to carry around…
As expected, it’s a Quo Card…
You might be surprised at how hard it is to know when to use a QUO card!
The URL of a secret drawing chat where only professionals gather…
By the way, this is a 3vs3 manner battle set at a “doujin event.”
It is considered bad manners not to distribute the maid-themed works, so I am hurriedly creating a book that fits in with everyone else.
The other two are having a manner battle in the cosplay area and the waiting line to enter.
>>149Yeah.
Well, you all go home.
With a book card.
QUO cards are a bit challenging to use when they’re 500 yen, so I’d be happy if they were around 5000 yen.
>>151Isn’t 500 yen better since it can be used at convenience stores and has good utility?
>>151Greedy…
I dislike magnetic cards because they are a hassle when they malfunction.
The reason you need to register online is because it would be troublesome if there are strange connections, so either a rice brawl department store gift certificate or a Haagen-Dazs voucher would be good.
>>152Is there something like this?
If it can be used at convenience stores and supermarkets, it’s reasonably priced, and as long as the other person isn’t a fan of Dazs, it seems better than just bringing snacks directly.
>>163It’s really good.
However, there are many stores where the staff don’t know what this is, so it often cannot be used properly or is misused.
>>165oh…
>>165The store staff should be trained on how to handle gift certificates, but there are a lot of foreign staff who don’t know how to deal with them.
Since it can’t be used at self-checkouts, the rate of staff not knowing increases even more in stores that primarily use self-checkouts.
>>188It was really troublesome when I was given things like special coins and 2000 yen bills as a joke, even though they were a bit different…
I was using it in another circle because it was a hassle.
Is smoked food still needed?
>>153Since the person is not aware of it, they won’t disappear.
I’m happy that you are depositing cryptocurrency.
It’s good with money, right?
What is the craziest thing you’ve received as a care package so far?
>>157At the summer comic market, receiving about 10 ice creams from a famous store was incredible in many ways.
I usually receive expensive items from a familiar person, but getting ice cream that melts quickly inside the venue is difficult because I can’t eat it right away and it takes up space.
I asked the people of the island if they wouldn’t mind eating it and bowed my head in processing it.
>>157A cheap snack with poorly drawn homemade art stuck on the package.
I don’t know how to say it, I’m having trouble responding…
Since I’m publishing books about tea, I would be happy to receive recommendations for tea bags.
I’m really happy because it directly connects to the next supply of material.
Happy break time for my feet.
Something that works but I wouldn’t buy it myself.
The letter is too retarded.
>>162In the women’s community, letters are normal, but in the men’s erotic doujin, it’s surprising.
>>164Don’t be surprised.
I’ve seen both people who say they don’t need any feedback on Skeb and those who ask for feedback.
If it’s a stock certificate from a listed company, I would be happy to receive it.
I’ve never used a QUO card, but does the change get left on the card?
>>168Didn’t it come with a memory that you punch holes in, just like a telephone card?
You can also use it in combination with cash.
>>168No change will be given.
If there’s any leftover after using it, it will just become a card that can be used with only that leftover amount.
Isn’t one box of Hokkairo enough? It’s winter.
Stop the dried persimmon diplomacy.
A non-consumable item that is disappearing, unopened, and a ready-made product.
>>177Gasoline!
>>180Dangerous item!
Well, it’s probably fine for the disconnection circle to just greet at the beginning and the end.
If it’s in the same genre, there’s no need to prepare anything strange; just hand over the new book along with a greeting.
Is it common that naming something after food makes it more likely to be brought as a treat?
Having the name “Choko” makes it easier to receive chocolate treats.
>>183If it’s an open circle…
>>187This is a mold I created by taking a cast of my own body… please go ahead.
>>191It is said that this happens often.
>>195Is that so!?
>>199A pure boy who believes anything.
>>211Is it because you are wondering?
>>187open is … you know.
Isn’t it a breach of manners to imply that making a profit of 500 yen for 24 pages is the main intention if you read ahead?
I’m being nitpicked…
>>186It depends on how many copies you’re printing…
In other words, what if I name it a 10,000 yen Amazon gift card…?
List of Dried Persimmons
Since it’s hot at Summer Comiket, let’s have some sports drinks! Please, no more of that.
I’m also getting ready, and I’m seriously piling up about 10 of them…
I’m actually hungry, but I don’t have time to buy food, so I’m pretty happy to have something to eat.
If you eat only sweets, you’ll end up with diarrhea from excessive carbohydrate intake.
An eco-bag donation with a bulky assumption…!
Isn’t it Comitia?
Here you go… (hot eye mask)
The enjoyable treat was shaved ice served in cups prepared for everyone.
What am I supposed to do with this…? The gift is Akafuku.
You only need to buy this book for me…
>>204(A humble pose is necessary…)
>>204(Read casually on the spot)
