Hundreds lining up outside of Akihabara’s Sofmap AM for Love Plus+ bundle reservation tickets. TICKETS! This isn’t even for the actual game or the three limited edition DSi XLs, which don’t release in Japan until June 24th. Amazingly, there are actually a few females in the crowd.
It’s both sad and hilarious at the same time: all these otaku waking up hella early on a Saturday morning to wait in line for hours and acquire a preorder ticket, so that they don’t have to wake up hella early on a Saturday morning to wait in line for hours and acquire the actual product. Konami has truly made every aspect of buying this dating simulator a pitiful experience.
I wish I was the guy who handed out these slips, just so I could remark to each customer, “I feel sorry for your mother”, like that convenience store owner in Menace II Society (and its superior parody Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood).

Preorder ticket stand for DS dating sim Love Plus.
Spotted at Sofmap Main Branch in Akihabara, the Japanese text on this racy preorder sign reads as follows:
“DS: Love Plus
You may be shy to take tickets from here
In order to make preorders, you need to put your hand in here and take [a ticket]… Shameful… But… Make preorders, make preorders!”
Preorder import (without shame): Love Plus

Akihabara’s Sofmap Main Branch has a section of DS and Wii games that it’s trying to get rid of with discount prices, just like any other video game retailer, but this store’s stock of unsold copies numbers in the thousands.
AkibaBlog counted 1,900 DS games (from about 24 titles) and 600 Wii games (from about 13 titles). Here are the numbers and prices for some of the DS games:
- Another Code: Two Memories - 200 copies, $10.50
- Chōsōjū Mecha MG - 120 copies, $10.30
- Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi - 80 copies, $10.30
- LOZ: Phantom Hourglass - 70 copies, $20.80
- Picross DS - 75 copies, $10.30
- Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! Duo - 75 copies, $26.00
No wonder Play Asia has so many Doki Doki Majo Shinpan! Duo sales!
Apparently, there’s a bit of controversy over this Valkyrie Profile DS ad at Sofmap Main Branch in Akihabara.
One of the store’s workers noticed that Valkyrie Lenneth is “not wearing,” as in not wearing underwear, leading the electronics retailer to put up this sign with the headline, “Lenneth, the War of Not Wearing”:
The sign, according to Akibablog’s translation, reads:
“Lenneth doesn’t wear, does she?”
The person who said it probably said [it] without thinking about anything, but from there, the fires of war expanded.
“A female fighter would be the last person not to wear, I guess!?”
“There is no authority for saying that! But anyway, do gods wear underwear!?”
“CERO is B in this software! So [she] should be wearing!”
“That isn’t the standard!”
Now, chaos is calling chaos, and the war continues…
Valkyrie Profile -Toga wo Seoumono- Lenneth: the War of Not Wearing
If you’re confused bt the “not wearing” term, Akibablog provides a thorough explanation:
“‘Not Wearing (not wearing panties)’ is, according to Hatena Keywords, ‘used when the part of clothing of a lady that [is] supposed to be shown is not actually shown on manga or illustrations. Please be careful [because] it is close to no-pan (not wearing panties), but it’s actually different.’
New-akiba.com also explained [it as] an illustration or a figure that lets us think ‘can’t see clearly but looks like not wearing panties,’ and as a result, it gives us a big expectation of a lady not wearing.”
Absolutely wonderful.
