As one taken with the bishoujoscape and otaku culture at large, at the risk of coming across like an animal of the database variety I’m fond of flipping* (*click click clicking) through magazines from bygone eras. All digital ink spilled across the expanse of archival sites, eyes glossy and wide – an ocean of discovery, eager to immerse.

What you’ll find here is by no means an exhaustive selection of the titles dotting these e-pages, rather what I am interested in due to this and that (e.g. I found Love Songs: Idol ga Classmate a particularly turgid experience and yet, it is here for reasons I cannot quite adequately explain). Some I have experienced, most I have not. When (realistically, if) I get around to the titles which pique my curiosity, it’ll be nice to look at this page and think ‘oh, that interview with the character designer was here…!’.
