Presented at Comiket 24 (August 7th, 1983), this anthology/joint magazine contains works from several ero artists of the era, the 'upper crust' of their own merit. This is the first version, not the common re-print or second edition (https://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/ZHOA62649). The circle is sometimes billed as Group Saturos Kyousou (グループサチュロス) on some auction sites. Acquired via a private shopper who picked this up for me at a bookstore.
------------------
Additionals:
There is a unique variety of both male and female contributors to this work, showing a unique bridge in demographics. Even so, unique themes of transformation are included in this work. Additionally, Raimei-oh Kyoshunen's artists from the LOUDNESS imprint also participate in mid 1983, concurrent with some additional works.
Many of the authors are very cheeky and self effacing.
"Editor's Note: Thank you for purchasing Vol. 1. This time, we took the grand opportunity of asking the president of our circle to change the name of the magazine and the format of the book, taking into account all of your feedback. What did you think? (However, it cost a lot of money for the screentones and color ink.) As for the content, I am very happy to have included several good manga. Keimoto-san's manga was originally titled "Mecha Ten Shinobu, the Fearful Triple Play", but he ran out of space to write it. He seems to be very busy, but I would like to have him draw again. Kyosaku-san, thank you for your hard work in completing your manuscript in only two days. I look forward to seeing you next time. Kabuki-san, is it true that he's quitting? Please come back. It seems that Sonic Boom had a lot of work to do with manuscripts for other doujinshi, so I wonder if he's still alive? I would also like to thank everyone else who contributed manuscripts. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Abe-san, who helped with the negotiations with these artists. I look forward to the next issue."
