Acquired on Mercari JP for a bargain, adding this to the pile of late 70s fanzines primarily as it has a huge focus on Leiji Matsumoto's works (Danguard Ace) alongside some Shotaro Ishinomori, Toei and Tadao Nagahama inpsiration. This group is relatively obscure but seems to have gotten their journal out on time and without any issues. A lottery is mentioned in the back of the book and 3 cels were given out to the members. All membership dues seem to have been paid on time, and the group claims to have been looking for others to help at the April Comiket alongside offer assistance to a fanclub called MARS, in which Toshio Furukawa agreed to collaborate with. Each volume, based on additional research, seems to focus on specific themes and genres, as I own two other volumes from the group. The printing is relatively average, nothing to write home about, and the group appears to have been late high school to college age girls / fujos.

Internet Archive now allows for logins, however uploading is currently suspended. Once its back, I will update my uploads with MEGA links and blog links. A thousand thank yous to all who have been encouraging during my recovery as well as to those who have constantly encouraged me to continue pursuing something that is, quite frankly, more than a hobby for me at this point. I appreciate you all! My website is currently undergoing changes in look and accessibility, but I will update this page once it's finished with the MEGA and web backup.
