Finder no Netsujou aka Viewfinder V6 released today in Japan in two different versions. The Limited Editionincludes a booklet in which Asami, Akihito AND Feilong hook up in a threesome!
The Animate Exclusive Editionincludes a different booklet with a side story about Akihito finding a 'secret' room and the sexy BDSM hijinks that ensue when Asami finds out what he did (think back to volume 1!) No, this is NOT an April Fools joke as I've been able to see some pics of the booklets.
I have already inquired with Akadot if they will carry either and it is being looked into. Once I get a firm answer, I will post an update here. I have to go take a cold shower now. @_@

That cover looks so hot! Can’t wait to see if it will be available for us to order in the U.S.
oh god thanks i hope so too, i hope i get to see a small pic at least like if they do threesome then is it reated to the story or an alternate story or a dream lol
Is there any way for us to get our English-speaking hands on both of them? Or will it be one or the other? Either way that is some seriously exciting news!!
If you mean will both be offered in English, probably not but who knows. If you want to get your hands on a Japanese version, they’re already up on eBay. I just ordered both myself. You need to search by the Japanese name and not just Finder or Viewfinder to find them.
Awesome sauce! Thanks for your help finding them; i would never have thought to try eBay (it just never occurs to me for some reason). Plus the Aussie eBay was no help so i’m glad i had the heads up to try the US store. This will be my first manga in Japanese, I’m actually quite excited for it
Thanks again!
I was able to order the Animate version through Animate and the Limited ed through the Libre website. The Limited ed has the threesome not the BDSM. I received my copy today. Also, if you ordered from the Libre site, the 1st 500 orders were able to receive a small poster of the cover of the manga. It is lovely!
can you tell me where I can see some samples of it? or do you have pictures? I had this gigantic adrenaline rush and will not be calmed down until I see this >A.<
Yes, I live in the US. I use a proxy, Japantoy.biz, to order from the online shops in Japan. There are others available. They all charge a service fee, etc.
I remember reading on Ayane Yamano-sensei’s blog that volume six was released somewere here in the US. Because it was the English blog, not the Japanese…..
But she promotes her Japanese works on her English blog as well. June is the English publisher and they’ve only translated up to volume 3. They have exclusive rights to translate and publish her works. No one else can do that.
Oh, I just thought it’s the other way around with the booklets as my japanese retailer couldn’t get me the Animate version. So the Fei Long/Ryuichi/Aikihito story is in the Libre version.
My friend just forgot to send out the Animate asap .. so I have to wait a few days longer. Due to the earthquake and Fukushima situation it’s ok for me though because I had to leave Japan before the book came out.
nah, I just have to say thanks for your website .. as an complete newbie it’s interesting to find all those websites concerning BL mangas/animes/ovas which I like so much more than 2 decades by now .. but honestly I never went online to search for news I admit. But living outside of Japan right now makes you wonder what’ll happen and how other ppl besides japanese fans think abt the whole subject .. it’s nice to find fans which put their whole being and love into websites .. Thanks!!
OMG !!! The cover is so sexy !!! Cool !!! Is it in japanese ? How much the price ? I live in Indonesia but I think no one sell that manga in here because that BL manga. I am searching for english version. Viewfinder is the one of my favourite manga. The story and art so beautiful ^^
>_< Dammit. This is the second time I f’d up this post. Ok, now it’s correct! But yes, you are correct, the BDSM booklet is with the Animate exclusive version and the Limited Edition booklet, which is available on Amazon Japan has the threesome. Thanks for pointing that out.
Either I’m stupid or there were an major srewup with my 3 retailers in Japan.
I own 6 booklets now of the same content .. the well *coughs* nice threesome of them. But haven’t seen the mentioned other version of this booklet .. well guess I should write some nice e-mails though ..
So, anyone has any pics .. not that I screw up with my >Libre BoyAnimate Boy< ^^;;
I say 'THANKS!!' in advance for an solution to this prob *gives up*
It appears you are missing the Animate edition, which was only sold by Animate. I bought mine on eBay. The Limited Edition has the threesome. The Animate Edition has the secret room.
The funny thing is that I ordered the lmt. edition directly from Animate itself, the store in Tokyo I always buy .. hehe .. messed up so it seems. Guess luck wasn’t directly at my side, yet I’ve got en e-mail with an apology though ..
OMFG i can’t wait alij;a;ofa;sfj
Just a question tho cause i’ve been wondering abt sth and i couldn’t find anyone that knows to ask :/
In the licensed vol. 5 there wasn’t the extra “Temporary Paradise” T~T all that goodness gone ;u;
do u know if they’ll license it? ;~;
That cover looks so hot! Can’t wait to see if it will be available for us to order in the U.S.

Akadot already carries the Japanese versions up to volume 5 so I fully expect them to carry V6. I just don’t know which version they’ll carry.

Hope they get the limited edition one!

I’m guessing they’ll publish the Limited Edition one. I don’t know if the Animate version is exclusive only to them or not.

Can I ask if you’re in the US? I was trying to find out if Animate ships international, and how much, but I can’t find anything! :O

Thank you so much! Too bad Animate doesn’t ship international. I have to pay double, but if it’s worth it, it’s worth it!

Oh? I thought we were only up to volume 3 here? Unless I am missing a few volumes! :O
Anyhow, I was asking because there’s other things Animate sells that I can’t find anywhere else, and so I was wondering if they shipped international.
