as a zoomer its pretty sick being able to read magazines like this. I'm not eluded by their existence or anything as I had read some old smut mags hidden in the basement as a wee lad, but I can't help but be thankful I was born in the time I was.
$30 for a hentai back then is wild to me right now, and considering that it's the equivalent of ~$75 today just makes me laugh. Went ahead and watched a bunch of them on that page just thinking the whole time "Wow, and I get to watch it all for free right now."
Being a connoisseur of Japanese media really meant something back then. You had to love it with every single dollar.

A video store owner had this in his collection of magazines and I asked him how much for it and he would not part away with it unless it was for a HUGe price but he let me get 2 other issues besides this one which I guess was nice of him
