To be honest, I was thinking about using a different screencap for the Anime Deals: July 2023 Edition post instead of using the Dr. Stone anime screencap.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t like Dr. Stone.

It’s just that I already featured Dr. Stone for the May 2023 Edition post.

Rather than featuring Dr. Stone, I should be using other anime.

But with me only watching a handful of Spring 2023 anime that has funny scenes, it can be hard for me to decide what screencap I can use on the blog post.

Sure, I can also use the screencap for the Summer 2023 anime since quite a few of them are the continuation of the previous season.

But even with that in mind, I still can’t find any screencap I want to use for the blog post.

Does it mean I should watch more light anime so then I have more screencaps that I can use in my repertoire?

Well, maybe I should. But it’s hard for me to get myself to watch that kind of anime when it doesn’t have a premise that I find interesting.

Will I be watching that kind of anime this summer is something that I’m not sure of since I have yet to take a look at the Summer 2023 anime list.

Even if most of the anime that I want to watch happens to be the serious types, I’m sure that there will be a few light anime mixed between them.

I’ll share with you in my future blog post which Summer 2023 anime I’ll be watching.

But for now, let’s have a look at the deals that you don’t want to miss in this month’s Anime Deals: July 2023 Edition post.

Anime Deals: July 2023 Edition update

7/12/2023 – Added a new offer from JapanesePod101.com and Fanatical.

Playasia

Good news for you if you’re someone who prefers to play games that are in Chinese or have multi-language options.

Playasia is currently running a sale where you can get up to 82% off on games that come with multi-language options for all platforms.

The only caveat is that the sale will only be available until July 11, 2023. And let’s not forget that the game only has a limited quantity too.

Unless you don’t mind waiting for Playasia to restock the game, you can get the games at a discount right here at Playasia:

Playasia Explosive Summer Sale

Just to let you know that Playasia also offers free shipping for orders above $100.

Even better? These games are eligible for free shipping which can be a good thing if you plan to buy a lot of games during the sale.

CDJapan

If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, then you probably see me mentioning CDJapan on my blog a lot.

Well, it makes sense considering that it’s my go-to place for buying manga in Japanese.

Of course, there are times when I have to rely on a shopping service like Buyee to buy things directly from Japan.

But I tend to get the items from CDJapan, for the most part.

Interested in buying manga and anything else from CDJapan but never bought anything from them before?

Good news for you since CDJapan has an exclusive discount for new customers where you can get 500 yen off for orders above 2000 yen.

Sound like a good deal? You can claim the coupon right here on this page:

CDJapan exclusive discount for new customers

This coupon is valid throughout July.

Just so you know that CDJapan does have discount coupons for existing customers as well.

But unlike the coupon for new customers, you can find the coupons for existing customers on the product page itself.

You can also get the coupons through email since CDJapan tends to send an email with the coupon code from time to time.

If you’re looking for more savings, then I highly recommend that you keep your eyes glued to your inbox for more deals for existing customers.

My Payhip store

Looking for new books to read now that summer is already here?

If you enjoy reading light novels, particularly in the thriller and suspense genre, then you certainly will enjoy reading my books.

Curious about the books that I write? You can take a look at them right here on my Payhip store:

Books by Sekina Mayu

Interested in buying any of the books? Don’t forget to use the coupon code SEKINAMAYUBLOG to get 25% off on your purchase.

Just to let you know that the books are also available in print and on other retailers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books.

But you can only get a discount when you buy from my Payhip store, though.

JapanesePod101.com

Do you always want to learn Japanese but your schedule doesn’t seem to permit you to enroll in the Japanese class?

That’s as low as $6.50 per month and up to $192 in savings.

Need a customized lesson plan? You can get that with the Premium PLUS subscription where you’ll get access to a Japanese teacher and personalized learning program.
