From the publisher:

This month’s cover and illustration theme is by manga artist Keiichi Arawi. From “Nichijou” to “Amemiya-san”, this issue features gorgeous newly drawn illustrations that transcend the boundaries of these works! Also featured are interviews from Arawi’s student days and about his creative process.

Also featured are interviews with Osamu Nishi, creator of the manga “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun”, and Shirai Momokichi, creator of “The Fake Association”. We are also delighted to feature Misato, the designer in charge of Sanrio’s Hanamaru Obake, along with plenty of cute designs and character visuals!
