"What was I wearing last summer?" — the question this book starts from. This volume compiles, in columns and comics, a look back at favorite items, the frustrations with summer clothes, and the clothes I chose for Spring/Summer 2025. A relaxed ZINE for people who want to enjoy menswear more casually, without overthinking it.

Under the circle name 'Space People Tanuki', I independently produce zines. I work full time as a company employee and also write as a side job. Focusing on menswear-inspired fashion, I create hobby zines that capture everyday life and moments of unease, encouraging people to enjoy clothing regardless of gender or age. I'm queer and live with my same-sex partner (a childhood friend). I make these for people who want to keep playfully experimenting with fashion in a pop way even as adults.

Originally from Hiroshima; after living in Sapporo and Nagoya, I now live in Kagawa Prefecture. I enjoy traveling by public transportation, especially trips on local bus lines. I am currently writing books about pilgrimages, such as the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage.

This is my first zine. "If you hold ambition and keep, strongly and strongly, wishing somewhere in your heart, there will be someone who watches over it somewhere, and sometimes that wish will come true." "Like a flower blooming." This is my very, very first small collection consisting of three double-page spreads using drawings of the Imaginary Girl (an imaginary woman) that I often drew and photographs I enjoyed taking. Limited to 30 copies. Numbered. It will be sold as a set with two bookmarks printed by risograph. (Details about the bookmarks can be found on Instagram @ai_to_eye_design.) Currently on sale at "Tanakara Botamo ZINE", a zine consignment sale event organized by ninatte Kyushu. After the event ends, it will be available on the ninatte Kyushu online store from 1/30 to 2/27.

Mother of two. I work in healthcare and create paintings (Levmonade), write articles, and do design. Instagram: @ai_to_eye_design

An illustration collection featuring over 80 sketches of my family's Shiba Inu, including funny faces, amazing sleeping poses, gestures, and more. A5 / 24 pages / full color / self-published (printed with an inkjet printer)

I am an illustrator. I began producing self-published zines in 2024. I enjoy having four-panel essays, sketches, and original comics printed at a print shop or making them by hand.

This is a commemorative booklet marking the closure of Chikuma Dormitory, a student dormitory in Tokyo for people from Nagano Prefecture with a 107-year history (closed in March 2025 / Reiwa 7). It contains essays by 50 former residents, interviews with two former managers, the dormitory's history, a photo collection, and more. This is the author's first self-published zine.

Born in 1991. From Nagano City. Occasionally opens a "complaint-listening stall" on the street in front of Nagano Station where he listens to complaints from passersby.
