There she meets a boy with a cigarette in his mouth. The girl asks the boy, 'Will you kill me?'

In addition to the title story, a four-year tale of lovers growing apart, this volume includes two other pieces, including "It Doesn't Fade Because It's Not a Dream," which follows Hana Ougita, who is aiming to become a painter, and her unrequited love Shizuku Aihara. If you can't move forward, I'll take your hand and lead you.

A collection of essays in which the 'work of writing' I encountered after the hardships of living intersects with my 'hidden things'—the overthinking side of me shaped by experiences of struggling to fit in with society. Putting these into words makes the contours of who I am more precise. It is a practice of meeting myself through writing. This ZINE reprints a series that was serialized on note.

A person who had been distributing books in the doujin scene until 2024 steps into the ZINE world in 2025. While wavering over the differences between doujinshi and ZINEs, they participated in events called ZINE Fests and wrote about how ZINE fests were in various places. This is an honest account of their activities over six months, from February to August 2025: exhibiting at 7 venues and attending 3 as a general visitor. A must-read for anyone planning to exhibit at ZINE fests.

The author is 200 cm tall, and on the street various people ask questions about their height. They performed a self-analysis of their height, prepared so they can answer immediately when asked, and compiled the information gained from that self-analysis into a single ZINE. A foundational book about being tall. 2025/07/14 Featured on Nippon TV's ZIP!.

The quintessential landscape of my hometown, Mie— memories of people and the town that surface in my mind. In the 1950s (the Showa 30s), to a child's heart, the presence of everyone was the whole world. I quietly recorded the things that were gradually being lost in the passage of time.

At 17, I rode a bicycle— Tsu, Kumano, Owase, Matsusaka. Tracing the sea and roads of my hometown, Mie, this book records days of youth and memories of an era. The winds of the Showa era, the breaths of the people who lived on the land, and a boy's feelings. I have recorded 'that summer' left beyond National Route 42.

For many years I worked on shipbuilding sites, watching the sea, people, machines, and the memories of the times. Now I write novels, essays, and ZINEs about journeys and the memories of places, and about the people I met in manufacturing settings. I have a fondness for the flashy, but I prefer modesty — I aim to create works that quietly remain in someone's heart.

At a snow sports day, realizing how clumsy you are while searching for mandarins buried in the snow. When someone says about butter-corn ramen, "I can't eat butter on carbohydrates—I'm afraid of the calories," you feel like asking, "Then is butter really not used in that tarako (cod roe) pasta of yours?" The helplessness of not being able to answer the origin of the name コーチャンフォー even though you often rely on it. A Dosanko essay written by an author born and raised in Hokkaido. Whether you live in Hokkaido or not, why not get a taste of Dosanko life? ☆As a bonus, one small bookmark-sized photo will be included.

"Ito-Yokado was not just a supermarket, but like a member of the family, like a part of myself — that sort of presence." (From the afterword) At the beginning of 2025, Ito-Yokado withdrew from Hokkaido. Ito-Yokado, which opened around the time the author was born and which the author's family had been using since before they had memories, was like a second home. Shopping at a supermarket may seem like an ordinary everyday routine, but whether in sickness or in health, the supermarket the author visited countless times alone or with family was one of those important places that went beyond "just a place to shop." In this zine, the author — who continues to love Ito-Yokado — passionately talks about what they felt while using Ito-Yokado, memories of Poppo and Famille, part-time work experiences, and products they want to recommend.
