5/16 Fukiage Hall, 2nd Fashion Exhibition Hall 11:00–16:00
Admission ¥500. My booth is E-22 (∩´∀｀)∩
It looks like this will be the last Nagoya event this year, so please come by!

I'll be bringing a scary story themed around an 'accident property' titled 'My Grandparents' House', two previously published zines, and the paperback pouches that sold out at ZINE Fest Osaka.
Thank you very much!

I regularly hold literary creative writing workshops in Nagoya.
Currently the group peer-review classes (2 classes) are fully booked, but
I will hold private lessons on May 12 and 30.
There are three slots per day; some have already been filled, but there are still openings.

○ You want feedback on a manuscript for a ZINE or a public-call submission.
○ You prefer private lessons to group critique sessions.
○ You want motivation from a deadline.

If this applies to you, please consider it 🙏

I'll be participating in Bungaku Flea Market Tokyo.
We don't do much online/mail-order sales, so it's recommended to purchase on-site at event prices.
There are travel essays and essays about my return to the doujin scene.

"OISO BOOK MARCHE
~A day when stories overflow in Oiso~"

"Held at 33 locations around town, Nojima Oiso Square 2F & 3F, the Oiso Town Library,
and the Oiso Local History Museum.
This year the Oiso Market and ZINE FEST will also be held concurrently.
There will also be special talk shows at the Oiso Town Library and OISO CONNECT."
(Quoted from the OISO BOOK MARCHE website)

In other words, it’s a book event that involves the whole town of Oiso!

After a while, I’m not doing a ZINE-only event —
I’ll be exhibiting at a "books" event!
I’ll bring lifestyle books, novels, tokusatsu (special effects) books,
ZINEs of course, and also some miscellaneous goods!

The ZINE Fest venue is nearby, so please take a day to go book-hopping with the May sea as your backdrop~

I’ll be at Nojima Oiso Square [3rd floor, 3-12].
It seems to be near the entrance.

Some of my regular book friends will also be exhibiting, so I’m looking forward to it!

In front of Lbio, right next to the Kita Library in Kita Ward, Nagoya, there will be a pop-up sale of zines, used books, and miscellaneous goods.
I was invited and decided to join at the last minute — so grateful!!
My new zine, "Grandparents' House", is a story about a stigmatized property set in my real grandfather's house.
I'm happy that the true ghost story "Unknown" seems to be popular at Lbio... I'll bring that one too! I'll also bring some of my back issues.
I'll be bringing lots of handmade items — book pouches and other pieces that should be great for spring and summer — so if you're nearby, please stop by!

I posted my impressions of the Zindies release talk event at NAgoya BOOK CENTER on note.
While listening to the discussion I jotted down my thoughts and it turned into an enormous amount, so I excerpted parts and compiled them.
There are as many as four installments of the "Ai-san's daydreams" corner where she imagines "wouldn't it be fun if this happened?".
They're just fantasies, so feel free to treat them however you like 🙇
It was truly an exciting and fun event! Thank you very much!
