One of the earliest doujins in my collection, this work predates Comiket by 3 years and was produced by a bevy of professional illustrators and mangaka, all ranging in age. Sakuga Group's roots span well into the mid 1960s, however, this particular iteration first published this book on November 20th of 1972. This particular book features several unique works, both SF and shoujo related, and comes from the collection of the late Yuki Hijiri. I was contacted by the owner of Utsutsu, who closed their business when they decided to retire the shop, which was located on the famous Nakano Broadway. The owner owned several pieces from Hijiri's estate as well as doujinshi and asked me to catalog specific titles, this being one of them - this particular book was quite damaged on the spine, though I was allowed to keep this one in particular. Utsutsu is no longer in business and does not accept mail order.

Works included in this anthology:

Takahashi Yosuke (高橋葉介) - Ah! How Scary (アァ！！恐ろしや)

Kagezuka Yoshio (影塚よしお) - Duel at Melody Lunch (メロディ・ランチの決闘), this particular work was assisted with help from Yuki Hijiri, though he apparently asked to remain uncredited (information given to be by the former owner)

Kitagawa Minami (北川みなみ) - Wind Boat (風の船)

Tomita Hikari (とみたひかり) - Snow Falls (雪ゾ降ル)

Mori Mabuchi (森真淵) - Sand Song (砂チのうた)

Goto Shizuka (ごとうしずか, penname, officially 後藤静香) - Boyhood (少年の時)

Sumimoto Yoshitaka (住本吉隆, who later went on to work in industrial design and published in Cosmo Comics SOL and various SF hobby model magazines.) - About Rain (雨について)
