Acquired on a boon via Yahoo! Auctions after a deep dive. A doujin meets fanzine at the cusp of the BL parody boom of the early 1980s, featuring several parodies from Mecha and SF works from the mid to late 1970s. This book is incredibly rare as it, while produced with a bit more purpose and intentionality, faced a lot of production issues as noted:
We are looking for new members!! All students are welcome to join. This time, I thought I'd make production early, but it turned into a hellish scene once again. I'm sorry to the staff. I've been dragged into another hellish situation. I'm so lazy! I'm so sorry! I'm sacrificing my time to complete my English test, so please forgive me.
The group, all Fujos, operated on a membership basis even though they were a circle, though its not known if the membership was a general one as was custom for fan clubs during the era or for artists to actually join/pay in for book production. The group is fairly, if not totally undocumented, sans for a Mandarake listing I saw years ago. The group appears to have been late age high school age girls and young college age women. The art is quite good! Lots of short stories, poems and letters.
