[Shinji Mizushima FC] White Ball No. 4 (1977) - [水島新司 FC] 白球 VOL. 4 昭和52年 (1977)
One of the many texts I acquired from M while in Hyogo. These, among several from the Raideen FC, Slapstick and letters from Makio Inoue to name a few belonged to his friend who passed away a long while ago. M's friend left him the estate and he let me have all of the books so long as I archived them. The official, complete fanzine for the club, vol. 4 takes on more data driven info with settei that was more or less confidential at the time, being more organized. Based on research and from what I gathered reading the volumes I own, the fan club was primarily high school age girls with a smattering of young boys who were fans of Shinji Mizushima's baseball manga. Later organizers would be college age women. The organization, however, could be very sloppy at times and reading a few of the materials given, there was a lot of in-fighting, disagreements and more about the fan club's distribution. The book is being presented as found; Some clippings appear to be from Monthly Ikk
