I lucked out. I was in Tokyo on Tuesday and Wednesday for a short vacation and I got to pick up a copy near Shinagawa Station. And yeah, there is a big ol’ centerfold pin up of Nonami Takizawa in a swimsuit. Since it’s a comic for men I guess the pin-up will always be there. Inside they advertise the next girl for next week’s edition.

James, thanks for the video report. You can check out the whole magazine (except the gravure thing, I guess) at http://gumbo.jp/.

They were passing it out in Shunjuku today when I was buying some art supplies. Not a manga person, so I didn’t pick one up, however somehow I knew you’d have an article about it
