A preparatory issue for the novelist and mangaka Simone Yotsuya (born Haruka Sato, known as Shio Sato from 1978 to 1984 roughly)'s doujinshi that's based on the real life Formula 1 racers Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher. This book is not the 33rd issue, but the 1st of 3 books that were made about the drivers (Senna would die the following year in 1994 in a car crash) and a manner of fictional yaoi/BL works that would later land Simone in some perceived and real social trouble. Simone and her partner Yuko Morioka sold me this remaining copy via mail order, though it was extremely difficult to speak with them or buy anything.

Additionals / other context:

In 1996, Simone published "Flowers of Evil" (悪の華) or "Evil Flowers: Parakeet Psychology Cult Enrollment Manual" (悪の華 インコ心理教入会マニュアル), a doujinshi cum novel based on members of the cult Aum Shinrikyo (アレフ). This work caused a lot of social outrage and was originally sold for free at Comiket and related events, however, out of fear of being sued, Simone pulled nearly every original copy she could from the sales floor out of fear of being used by the members she parodied, which was primarily Fumihiro Joyu. Simone later sold it ass an e-book in 2016, however, a work like so pre-dates this moment and sets the tone for what soon came to be.
