Blue Scarf remains a unique mystery in itself, though in general, this newsletter first appeared at Comiket 1. Blue Scarf's vol. 1 was published before December of that year (March 14th) and was the personal magazine of Hiroyuki Usegi (上杉広幸). While Hiroyuki handled the illustrations and contents of this zine, the front cover notes that it was published by the Yang Kai Publishing Company as well as the what appears to be a circle, Tanuki Shobo Shinsha.

This particular volume is a revised version of the original vol. 2 in particular. While the latter was presented at Comiket 1, vol. 2's original version was published April 1st of 1975. This particular volume is printed via mimeograph though better than most of the era on a very decent machine. This work is a survey on Umi no Triton, The Little Mermaid (1975) and Shoujo manga.

Presented as found for clarity and austerity. Page 1 was edited as so as the paper was extremely damaged.
