I have is claiming a lifestyle magazine, but in terms of content is an art closer to the culture magazine. It has been issued four times a year, rough construction, and feature articles, such as columns and essays by celebrities. In HakoSo, medium also saddle stitching, such as selectively using the four colors of paper, book itself is an art, it is exciting. Title is also unique, different words of all meaning the same sound, "galloping" = "chic" = I feel the goodness of the sense of multiplying the "elegant" and "run faster". Special Feature from No. 1 to No. 6, did those that focus on "place" or "place-name", is No. 7 is the latest issue, the "people" on the theme, picked up the "Juergen rails" of a textile designer you have.

It is a new publication of Yuichi Yokoyama's. In our shop, not comic corner only, but also placed in the corner of the art shelf. Unlike typical comic, rather than enjoy the story, it is a strong piece of elements to enjoy the "flow of time" by the panel layout. In order to express the time, one frame one frame is limited words and SFX, have been drawn in only onomatopoeia, even while drawing only a limited line, such as watches, partially very fine depiction is made ing. Simple only with, is one book where you can enjoy reading over and over again. Futuristic settings and is an interesting character modeling is also unique. , Who Kazunari Hattori is taken care of in our shop talk events, etc. are also points has worked on book design.
