The first edition / release of the Char's Success Story imprint by the circle Let's Play Around with Char (1979 - 1982), featuring the works of Shio Sato (Haruka Sato, Simone Yotsuya), Ryutoshi (Ryutei, Ryutei-an, sometimes Tomitoshi, TomeTome, Tome-an) Lcy & Yaroll (Toru Yaroll), following up as a 2nd installment of the original 1979 edition:

As documented and known in the realm of Gundam doujinshi, Char's Success Story is one of the first erotic yaoi novelizations that was ever created during the original run of Mobile Suit Gundam. While the circle AMA (Tokyo Animenia Army) was the first to release an erotic Gundam parody at Comiket, Shio Sato's works would come after and become a cult classic. Due to the fame of the imprint, the circle was able to last for some time before disbanding in 1982, supported in part by a voracious fanbase in their native Yokohama as well as broad features in subculture magazines such as Animage and OUT. This particular volume doesn't seem as if it showed up at Comiket.

★Provenance:

“Even though it isn’t spring, this is Yarōru.”

I feel like Shisei-kun asked me to think of some cuts (illustrations) for the issue, but… I ignored him and ended up drawing only the cover.

Well, I suppose that happens sometimes…

I’m always writing the same sort of things, and everyone else writes much better than I do. Compared to them, my manuscript is embarrassingly trivial. Still, I somehow managed to get it onto paper.

I’m not very good at writing serious prose, and my handwriting is terrible, but if even one person enjoys this issue, then I’ll be happy.

This time, too, I hope you’ll read through to the end.
