▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Acquired from M while in Hyogo a few weeks ago. Office Baku pertained of many talented artists and writers creating a mix of bishoujo meets SF / mecha themed ero works. With the mix of comics, fanart and more, ESCAPE as an imprint is very well done and shows some of the best of the Showa era sensibilities of mixing mechanical elements with sensuality. I almost bought another copy before remembering that he gave me one.

Hiro Hikari (Hirogoori Akio, 広郡明生) was the main artist of this imprint and went on to have a relatively successful career as an illustrator. M told me that Hiro would often draw him pieces and showed me a few, though I was not able to acquire those from him.

Haruhisa Minagawa (皆川晴久), who was behind the APPROACH imprint as well as the editor at large of ESCAPE, was very close with Hiro alongside Office Baku's other contributors Hisashi Takahashi (高橋久志), Tetsuya Yamada (山田哲也), Yoshihiro Nakamura (中村義弘) and Yutaka Hayami (速水裕).The group was originally from Higashi-Hakata-Eki, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City.
