Well… I hate to always be bringing bad news, but the upgrading process is taking much longer than expected. We are working as fast as we can, but you should see the next issue by November 10th.

Hello everyone,
I’m sorry to say that this months issue will be delayed due to server trouble. It is actually going through some upgrades. I’m not sure how long it will take, but if it doesn’t finish in the next week or so, we’ll have to cancel this months issue. But don’t worry, we’ll do a double issue next month if that happens!
Courtesy of the Government of Japan, you may download the anime, Megumi, for free! Based on the true story of Megumi Yokota, a Japanese girl who was abducted by North Korean agents in 1977.
Story: In 1977, Ms. Megumi Yokota, a 13-year-old girl, disappeared on her way home from school. It was revealed later on that she was abducted by North Korea. This film features the anguish of Megumi’s family and their desperate effort to bring her back home.
It’s done! I came in on Saturday and Sunday and today, (Monday in Japan) I came in at 6:00 am, just to finish this issue on time. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: it’s my own fault for procrastinating. Really, it wasn’t procrastination; this month is probably the busiest month for people in this industry in Japan: Comiket, World Cosplay Summit, Wonder Festival, etc. But I worked hard because I love you guys! Enjoy!
The How-to for this issue teaches you the basics of costume-making. You’ll learn how to make a Bunka-style sloper. This is how almost all fashion designers in Japan start making clothes.
