A Guide to Hosokakaiku +6

A Guide to Hosokakaiku

Captivated by the narrow cluster of buildings called Hosokakaiku along the Shinbori River in Aichi Prefecture, the author assembled this zine as a highly personal guidebook. These buildings stand alongside the river at the bare minimum width and, through their modest appearance, convey a sense of intimacy. By classifying them according to their characteristics and uncovering their distinctive design codes, the author offers a private taxonomy. Produced as an attempt to verbalize and record these scenes—which may be lost in the future due to redevelopment and decay—not as "finished objects" but as "temporary cross-sections," this book documents a personal interest and viewpoint.

Pachinko Beginner Loses ¥100,000 on Her Favorite Anime Machine

Pachinko Beginner Loses ¥100,000 on Her Favorite Anime Machine

A painfully honest essay by a woman (the author) who got hooked on the Tokyo Revengers pachinko. Synopsis: On July 7, 2025 (Reiwa 7), the day I caught a bit of beginner's luck on my beloved 'RibePachi', I grabbed a one-way ticket to hell. I came to worship Mikey — whose over-the-top hot sequences outshone even my ultimate favorite, Keisuke Baji — and my sense of money slowly began to go haywire. A painful, realistic chronicle of a pachinko novice's downfall as she burns through ¥100,000.

When Delusions Made Reality Glitch

When Delusions Made Reality Glitch

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!
