The author was captivated by the long, narrow cluster of buildings called “細過街区” located along the Shinbori River in Aichi Prefecture. These structures stand close to the river at the bare minimum width, and their modest presence evokes a sense of intimacy. By classifying them according to their characteristics and identifying unique design codes, the author compiled this zine as an intensely personal guidebook. Created as an attempt to verbalize and record these scenes from private interest and a personal viewpoint, the book treats these landscapes not as “completed” works but as temporary cross-sections that may be lost in the future due to redevelopment or aging.
This is a painfully candid essay by a woman (the author) who got hooked on the Tokyo Revengers pachinko. On July 7, Reiwa 7, the day I hit beginner's luck on my beloved 'リベパチ', I bought a one-way ticket to hell. I began to worship Mikey — whose super-hot effects even outshone my ultimate favorite Baji — as a god, and my sense of money gradually started to go awry. A painful, realistic chronicle of a pachinko beginner losing ¥100,000.
An essay-style story based on the author's experiences living with a mental illness, depicting the raw confusion, delusions, and everyday life. I recorded my memories and feelings from that time—slightly humorous, slightly painful. Synopsis: Was the world watching me? Voice actors, parents, passersby... a "soul-sharing" system connecting everyone! A fandom-immersive autobiographical zine every otaku should read!
I mainly distribute zines in Nagoya. My work mainly consists of essays and autobiographical fiction.
