Sales tax, blergh

[feikoi.livejournal.com]

Starting April 1st, sales tax in Japan are increasing from 5% to 8%. So for you guys, that means an increase in prices from shops like Toranoana and CQueen, and possibly an overall trend of higher doujinshi prices. (Only a guess, but since circles will need to offset additional printing costs...)

Train fares and event entry fees are also increasing accordingly, which means my base event fees will have to go up slightly. I really hate to do that to you guys, as I realize collecting doujinshi is expensive enough to begin with.
