Magami Magazine Vo.90

For the last few months now i’ve been trying to keep up with a monthly bishojo focused ‘Megami Magazine’. This mag for the most part is a huge collection of double sided posters/pin-ups featuring girls from anime, and Japanese games, most of which i’ve probably never heard of. The middle sections of the mag features imformation on mainly females from new anime shows and games as well as a few Manga teasers. But going back to the posters since thats where all the action is, and my sole reason for buying the mag.

The lastest issue i’ve gotten my slightly oily hands on is the 90th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE (Novenmber) featuring the girls from ‘StrikerS’ on the cover. If you read mags like NewType, you’ll be familiar with the right to left set of reading through the mag……well I say reading, but since what little there is to read in the mag is in Japanese I don’t actually read it.

As I said, the selling point of Megami is the number of posters that come with it. This issue alone has 26 posters (most about the size of 2 A4 sheets of paper). The posters all feature a girl or girls from a plethora of anime and games, in all type out scenarios and outfits. If you were lucky enough to buy an issue in the summer months, all the girls on every poster would be wearing swimwear of some kind….mosty skimpy bikini’s

Unfortunately, living in the UK this mag isn’t cheap to buy, I managed to buy it from Archonia.com for around £5.35 a pop (before Shipping costs). You may be able to find it in some of the specialist comic/book stores around the UK, or stores like Forbidden Planet etc that sell cult and Anime goods, but i’ve no idea on the price.

I hope to keep updated as an when I get another issue and will post pics of some of the great posters from each mag. Here are a few from Issue 90 to rub your eyeballs over.

Sweet Body – Happou Bijin Illustrations

‘Sweet Body‘ is an artbook containing the works of ‘Happou Bijin’. As far as I know, he’s done work on a series of games, most like, hentai like dating sims, called ‘Boin’. I have no idea if he is also associated with a Hentai anime also containg the word ‘Boin’ but the style does look similar.

The style of body’s for most if his girls seem to be of the slighly curvy, while staying slim, with rather large breasts. The array of art in the book ranges from simple poses in bikini’s to full topless drawings to girls outdoors fully clothes on skate boards etc, just a general mix of great, erotoic and generally pleasing to the eye imigary.

I was quite astounded at the number of pages in the book at 128, all very sturdy thick (almost cardboard like) A4 pages. There is also and extra cover over the front and back of the book, and some strange smaller cover that only covers the lower 1/4 of the cover, not sure what thats for.

Sweet Body can still be bought from many places, I got mine from Play-Asia

I plan to look at the contents much more closely later, most likey with tissues in hand for the nosebleeds. In the mean time, feast your eye on some pics i’ve taken from inside the artbook, some of the few that didn’t contain any naughty bits.
