A short off-set print doujin comedy parody of Arion by Sone Teiko (sometimes also known as Sone Ryuga), created March of 1986. This particular book came with a coinciding Fist of the North Star booklet of the same size and printing method. By the bylines, it appears that Sone was only 14 when they created this book in collaboration with their circle Musashino Castle. Its unknown if this was an active circle, though two other collaborators are mentioned to have helped with the publishing, a Inuko Masaki and Izawa Une.

"It's been about half a year since Arion was released. I just love Yasuhiko's anime, and I love Arion, and that's really the only reason I wrote this book. Partway through, I thought maybe I should just give up, I don't want to... But I received encouraging words and letters from so many people, and I was able to finish this book, and for that I am truly thankful."

The printing left a bit to be desired and two pages were out of order, though I'm happy to own this one and share it. I bought it on a spot sale on Yahoo! auctions with the corresponding book.
