I have always loved stages and theaters. I think the world is a theater where many different people perform together, and that people are like flowers. This essay collection records ordinary everyday life written in my own words.

In 1975, my grandfather — a painter — traveled through Mexico. In 2025, I traveled there as well. Fifty years of time intersect. This zine collects my grandfather's photographs and sketches from his trip to Mexico fifty years ago, and my own photographs and essays from my 2025 trip.

In addition to producing documentary films and television programs, I make zines and also try my hand at bookmaking.

Dentist and photographer. Born in 1996 on the Tango Peninsula in Kyoto Prefecture. They have lived in Nagoya since 2015. Focusing mainly on seascapes and waterside landscapes, they create work themed around the 'light' and 'nostalgia' found in everyday life.

In the fictional country of Pengulla lies the tourist town of Mioho Town. There, a tourist went missing. When, where, and why did she disappear? You, who have received a request to investigate from freelance writer Shinotaro Itsuka, must read the case from the remaining materials and seize clues to her whereabouts. Note: This work is an archive-style puzzle game. By submitting answers via the URL printed on the enclosed materials, you can read additional epilogues later. You can also enjoy the setting just by reading the included contents.

An independent creator who explores the boundary between analog and digital centered on the fictional world 'Pengulla'. Specializing in worldbuilding grounded in thorough research, they create art books and games themed around the 'unsettling beauty' and 'sense of dissonance' hidden in everyday life.

A mini zine primarily of photographs personally captured of scenes I hope will still remain when I visit again. The first installment in a film zine series devoted to capturing certain nostalgically familiar scenes. Includes a bonus film keyframe so viewers can choose their preferred angle to frame the scene they want to keep.

A record of living for seven years in a curious share house in Yokohama called 'Yokohama Apartment' (nicknamed Apa). Through the building I reconsidered what it means to coexist with people and the local community, and what 'living' means to me. I asked other Apa residents how they use their rooms and what they recommend, I asked many questions of the long-time 'Transparent Resident' who supports Apa, organizing events at the share house, life in the share house during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I wrote these so I wouldn't forget the silly, enjoyable days I had. A zine recommending moving in for those interested in the interesting architecture of Yokohama Apartment. [Fold-in supplement] How to use Apa's floor plans *Each copy is hand-bound, so there may be some variations (lol)

Would you tell us about your story with books and movies? A feature of this second volume is that many contributors are involved in book-related activities or work in the book industry! Also, readers who purchased the first volume at events are joining in, and it's miraculous that there are no overlapping selections among the works. Contents of the ZINE: When I was little I loved looking at my friends' bookshelves. They were filled with the things that person liked, and I could catch a glimpse of what they were into. It was fun to discover works I wouldn't have found on my own and to share them. As an adult, you don't often get to look at other people's bookshelves, and your choices of works tend to become narrower. Driven by the impulse that if we could learn about works from other perspectives we might encounter many different works, I decided to preserve that idea in the form of a participatory ZINE. There are people who always tell me about books and films I haven't heard of, whether on Instagram or in real life. Wanting to know which works influenced those people's lives, I invited participants to contribute — this is the second participatory ZINE. A sheet is included for readers to write what their own response would have been, so please try filling it out after you finish reading. And if you'd like to contribute, please send a message!

“Could you tell us your story of books, films, and yourself?” I loved looking at my friends' bookshelves when I was little. They were filled with the things that person loved, and I could catch a glimpse of what they were interested in. It was fun to discover and share works I wouldn't have encountered on my own. As an adult, it's harder to look at other people's bookshelves, and our own selections tend to become biased. I had the urge that if we could learn from other perspectives, we might come across many different works — so I decided to preserve that impulse in the form of a participatory zine. These are people who always tell me about books and films I don't know, on Instagram and in real life. Wanting to learn about the works that influenced those people's lives, I recruited contributors and this is the first issue of the participatory zine. A sheet is included so readers can write “What would it have been like for me?” — please try filling it out after you finish reading. And if you'd like to contribute, please send a message!

I am a graphic designer who loves paper, books, and films (special effects and anime). I occasionally set up a casual stall at secondhand book markets and similar events under the name "book theater splicer". I started making zines driven by the impulse to know what's in people's heads and backgrounds, and to encounter books and films I otherwise wouldn't have found. I really enjoy talking with strangers at events, and I also exhibit at zine festivals and the like. Lately my catchphrase has been, "Turn that story into a zine — I'd read it." I'm running a project to complement zine culture through workshops where anyone can easily enjoy creative expression and making!

We rent a traditional Japanese house as a base for play and work. There, getting hands-on and leaving space were progressing at the same time. Rather than being in a tidy state, it felt as if many things were overlapping. That atmosphere, thinly and lightly, I put onto paper.

荒木飛呂彦 著「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険」(集英社)の第一部から第四部まで真正面からの徹底解説 - 第一部 ジョナサンからディオへの「友情」とは？ - 第二部 ジョセフの腕はなぜカーズに刺さったか？ - 第三部 100年前からディオに貸していたモノ（あらゆる人が、あらゆるモノを） - 第四部 吉良吉影の悪とは？ 　 【概要】 『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』の連載は約40年に渡る。 ストーリー、構図、台詞、擬音語、ポージング、どれも独特の様式を確立し、ネット文化へもミームとして波及、定着している。アニメ化は着々と進み、スピンオフ作品も実写ドラマ・映画化されている。 　今やその人気は世界的であり、ルーブル美術館での展示などが示すように美術界までその射程は及んでいる。 しかし『ジョジョ』は時代の中心に置かれるわけでなく、むしろ常に主流や定番から外れたところに位置している。にもかかわらず、長く愛され続けているのは、作品の根底に「真実」を探求しようとする姿勢が一貫して流れているからであろう。『ジョジョ』は常に異端でありながら、真摯に王道を突き進んできたマンガといえよう。 著者の荒木飛呂彦は既存の表現に安住することがない。常に新しい世界を新しい表現で描くことに挑戦することをやめず、巻を進めるほど、テーマも深化し続けている。すでに100巻を超えるこの大作を一から精緻に読むのは容易ではない。 本書では、読者が作品世界に迷わず没入できるような基盤を提供したい。まず『ジョジョ』と他の作品との違いを概論として述べた上で、「何部から読むか」問題に私なりの答えを提示する。そして第一部の詳説をベースとして骨格となる「ジョジョの文法」を理解してもらい、続く第二部から第四部のそれぞれで“何と闘っているのか”という問いに答える形で、その変遷を追っていきたい。また個人的思想・解釈が特に強い「無意識について」と「ＤＩＯ 100年の哲学」は幕間に書き留めておいた。

I wrote a commentary book arguing that Hirohiko Araki's "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is a classic.

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! https://note.com/office_tuning/n/n3ef3e38cf086?sub_rt=share_pw
