This “My Tezuka Osamu 1” is an extremely valuable text that records, from an insider’s perspective, the rarely told 1960s scene at Mushi Production. A5 size Main text: 144 pages Produced by: Mamoru Masaki Project This is a Comiket item, so there isn’t a fixed retail price. On BOOTH the price is 2,500 yen. If you come to Equal Books (イコール書店), it will be sold for 1,500 yen. The author is Mamoru Masaki, who—before debuting as a manga artist—served as production coordinator on TV anime such as Astro Boy and Jungle Emperor, and was in the thick of Mushi Pro’s production hell. In 1963 (Showa 38), at 22 years old, a young man from the countryside was thrown straight into the forefront of Japanese anime history. Tezuka Osamu’s obsession, drawing until blisters formed on the paper (not pen blisters). Endless all-nighters. A schedule on the verge of collapse. Chaos in each department, broken outsourcing, and the psychological pressure concentrated on the production staff. Even so, to finish a work the site had to overcome everything. The precariousness of having a “genius” at the center. Friction within an organization that was losing control as it grew. The raw energy and unrefined passion of young talents. The handmade rush that characterized the early days of anime rises not as a record but as an experience. This is not a polished story; it is unvarnished reality. It realistically depicts the workplace’s contradictions, exhaustion, shouts, and anxieties. There is another reason this book suits Comiket. Masaki used the pen name Toge Akane in COM magazine and founded a nationwide organization for aspiring manga artists called Gura-Kon, where he: - actively introduced doujinshi and ran feature articles - built networks crossing readers and creators - provided pathways for amateur artists to debut in commercial magazines In other words, he actually stood at the source of the doujin culture that later led to Comic Market. Commercial and doujin. Professional and amateur. Production sites and reader communities. This is the record of someone who lived at those boundaries in an era when no one had yet named them. For those interested in anime history. For those who want to know Tezuka Osamu not as a myth but as a real person. And for those who like the reality of creative workplaces. This is not a retrospective commentary compiled after the fact. It is writing that retains the warmth of a person who was in the midst of it. ▼ Online sales https://booth.pm/ja/items/7821700

地方で営業するストリップ劇場で、裏方スタッフとして勤務した経験を綴ったエッセイ本です。 B6サイズ / 32ページ ---------------------------------------------- 地方にある小さなストリップ劇場で、四年間、投光スタッフとして働いていた。投光とは業界用語で照明を指す言葉だが、実際には、音響操作や場内アナウンス、受付のもぎり、楽屋の掃除など、裏方業務のほとんどを担っていた。 劇場で過ごした日々は、大きなトラブルや特別な出来事に満ちていたわけではない。むしろ、何気ないエピソードのほうが鮮明に思い出される。淡々と、粛々と、ごく当たり前に鼓動を続ける劇場で生きた四年間は、私の人生を豊かに変えていった。 裸の女性にスポットライトを当てる、ストリップ劇場。ここに綴るのは、そんな少し特別な場所で積み重ねられた、私にとっての日常の記録である。 （本文より抜粋）

This is a reportage book visiting various underground spots. I wrote it with respect for underground cultures that continue to live quietly, hidden from society. SM bars Shibari (bondage) workshops Happening bars Pink cinemas B6 size / 34P ---------------------------------------------- Sometime before the COVID-19 pandemic, on a whim I had the opportunity to visit a place called a “happening bar,” which I had long been curious about. As someone who enjoys exploring underground spaces, it was a kind of challenge. A happening bar is a uniquely Japanese type of adult entertainment venue where people with sexual tastes or interests gather and can naturally engage in activities with other customers. As the name suggests, it’s a place visited in the hope of sudden happenings, commonly referred to as a “hap-bar.” (Excerpt from a Shibari workshop)

This is a collection of essays written together with AI, something still rare in the world. Rather than turning AI into an "automatic writer," I consider it an "editor" and "another me." I consult with the AI to choose a theme, and I begin to write. The AI critiques and rewrites, and then I receive a reply from "the other me." This book is a record of that back-and-forth. It is the first form of humans and AI writing together.

There are way too many festival days in Nagoya. To unravel that mystery, we set out into the streets of Nagoya... A small travel-essay collection that walks only Nagoya's festival days: the time-attack event in Kakuozan that has continued since the Meiji era; the fervor of Bon Odori where each area has different favorite J‑POP songs; Osu's largest festival day, which hands out mochi and even features cosplay on weekdays; and more.

A slightly mysterious experience story by an author who doesn't believe in ghosts. I don't think it's a ghost, but how should I explain this... I'm posting the stories in the order I remember them. Since they actually happened, some are ongoing or have no punchline, but that's just how it is... It's not really scary but might be a little scary? Maybe. 46P

A ZINE where I wrote down the parts I could remember from the five years I spent living in Belgium. It's filled with parts of living abroad that aren't glamorous at all. From daily life troubles to stories about getting sick, and even stories from when a terrorist attack occurred. Wow... a lot sure happened. 60 pages.

A selection ZINE collecting manga and books that might help middle and high school students with their studies. It features works particularly recommended by Kani (a second-year junior high school student at the time of editing) from books they have actually read. Kani is a fan of science (chemistry), so there are slightly more science books.

This, the author's fifth work, is a combined edition that collects the first work 'A Life That Wants to Be a Frog', the second 'The Sanctuary of Kinks', and the third 'Being a Boy' into one volume. It is an essay collection largely on the themes of life and ideas, and, having continued to express these enduring sentiments, the works were compiled into one volume at the time of a reprint. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that reading this will give you a basic understanding of 'Maepu' lol Across the journey from the first to the third work you can sense shifts in my mindset; at times I express opinions that contradict earlier ones, but there is no falsehood in what I believed then, so I hope you enjoy those changes as well.

This is the author's 6th self-published book. An essay characterized by glimpses of eroticism within a philosophical style of writing — sometimes intellectual, sometimes silly. Includes prose expressing humanity and vivid photographs shot on monochrome film. Below is an excerpt from the text. "Words are a revolutionary tool for conveying one's will to others, but sometimes I feel there's no need to be bound by them. Who cares about vocabulary or production cost — honestly, it doesn't matter. There are times when a person's feelings or actions cannot be expressed in words."

A distinguishing feature is a mole behind the ear.

――Let's talk about finding a key. In a sense, everyone is blind. 《Kakuyomu Contest 9 Entertainment General Special Award》 《5th Everyone's Tweet Literature Award Domestic Edition 2nd Place》 In August 1992, a nine-year-old boy named Toby lost his sight in a hurricane in Florida. His parents continued to treat him with unchanging love, but Toby's heart was dominated by dissatisfaction, a sense of unfairness, and frustration, unable to escape. Four years later, the family moved to the rural town of Nineveh, Maine. During a walk with his pet dog Humming given by his father, Toby finds an old key in the woods. Its owner is Jean Goodspeed. While feeling distrust and irritation towards this man who smokes, drinks, plays the guitar, engages in penetrating conversations, and gave him bad chocolate bars, he simultaneously feels solace and a strange trust. At the diner Ectabana he visited with Jean, Toby meets Sarah. Captivated by the charm of her "recited" words, Toby finds flavor in the menu. Attracted to her, he also notices the 'fear' hidden within her words, and wanting to help her, he attempts to uncover the truth. A long novel depicting the facts and truths as reflected in each of their hearts.

In 2024, won the Grand Prize of the [GOAT x monogatary.com Literary Award] with the short story "You Don't Need to Taste Letters". The delightful letters in the work were highly acclaimed. From short poetic literature such as short poems, haiku, and senryu, to comedy scripts, plays, game scenarios, and catchphrases, his love for words is extensive.

Nice to meet you. kakinokikojiro.jimdofree.com ◯Chikuwa Note A composite creature of chikuwa and notes. Sensitive to sunlight. Being timid, captures can be easily achieved by appearing non-threatening and applying a headlock once it's off guard. Although easy to capture, they are of no real use once caught, so it's best to keep a diary of your observation and quickly release them. ◯Niji NoNolan Primarily composed of cats. The pseudonym is derived from Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan. Readers are surely Emma Thomas. Was always searching for a reason to write, and reached "Testament". May the words born leave a mark on someone’s heart.

Has been influenced by writers such as Misuzu Kaneko, Chuya Nakahara, Kenji Miyazawa, and Takashi Matsumoto. "The sky is made of courage". ◯Tarako Ame A person who dearly loves Western music, movies, and cats. Lives in Iwate. The touching encounter with the short poems of Hiroyuki Sasai in school started them on their poetic journey. After experiencing the Great East Japan Earthquake, they completed their first series "Tattoo of the Moon" themed on the life of the sea. They also write poems capturing delicate human emotions and humorously satirizing modern society. Living faithfully to the call of the soul is their motto, cherishing floating words and feelings like bubbles. ◯Eiya Misaki Somehow became a university student. Loves tangerines enough to eat a whole box in one day. Living alone allows an indulgent lifestyle, frequently ordering tangerines for delivery. Also loves wasabi-flavored snacks, eating them to take breaks during writing. Prefers sushi without wasabi. ◯Gojuumaru Ganaha Born in 1990, Okinawa Prefecture. Leo sign. Blood type O. Holds the philosophy "Writing stories is revenge on life, which can only be lived once"— inspired by words found somewhere before (later discovered to be based on words by Kaoru Kitamura). Started writing novels after entering university. Has always had a strong desire to do nothing since childhood. Very strong. ★Introduction by Kojiro Kakinoki https://note.com/kakinoki_koji99/n/n52851ff51d4c ★Introduction by Monokakiko https://note.com/monokakiko/n/n81f902bb2f66
