I was born in Tokyo and, just before turning 40, moved to Maniwa City in Okayama Prefecture after an unexpected turn of events and connection. I made this zine to introduce more people to the delicious foods of Maniwa that satisfied my appetite. It highlights 26 shops in Maniwa City that I selected with my feet and palate.

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.

A privately founded and operated library community facility. The public library inside the Tsurukawa housing complex in Machida City was reorganized, and a citizens' group established and runs it. It is a place with books that make possible things that couldn't be done in a public library. We aim to be a space for encounters, connections, and experimentation. We want to create a place where ZINEs can be read.

We invited 20 book lovers to contribute essays on the theme "One book I'd like to be placed in my coffin." We hope you will enjoy our stories while reflecting on your own special book.

Based in Nagoya. I'm a harmless person who changed careers from a systems engineer (SE) to a university librarian. I enjoy seeing people talk about books, and the online reading group I run almost every week is now in its seventh year. Recently, I've been planning and publishing a zine of essays about books titled "Tonight, Here's a Bookmark."

I began my book design activities in 2022. The theme is snacks. I create works that compile stories and recipes of snack making into a single book. Because I put a lot of effort into the paper used for the works, I started making them as handmade books. At events, I also make and sell snacks from the recipes. It is a shop where there are 'snack books and book snacks.'

What is Radiotic ZINE chilaula? A ZINE imagined from the idea that "radio and ZINE are similar." It's like a radio program where the personality discusses books they've read and the activities of the one-shelf bookstore "Anbeiina-ya" while playing music. This ZINE was created with that radio show image in mind.

Currently Publishing Radiotic ZINE chilaula.
