Personal Collection: Corporation Shameless: Shameless Vol. 3 (1979)

Acquired on a boon via Yahoo! Auctions after a deep dive hunting last year. This is a doujin-meets- fanzine at the cusp of the BL Aniparo boom of the early 1980s, featuring several parodies from Mecha and SF works from the mid to late 1970s. This book, while produced with a bit more purpose and intentionality, faced a lot of production issues as noted:

"We are looking for new members!! All students are welcome to join. This time, I thought I'd make production early, but it turned into a hellish scene once again. I'm sorry to the staff. I've been dragged into another hellish situation. I'm so lazy! I'm so sorry! I'm sacrificing my time to complete my English test, so please forgive me." 

The group, all young adult Fujos, operated on a membership basis even though they were a circle, though its not known if the membership was a general one as was custom for fan clubs during the era or for artists to actually join/pay in for book production. The group is fairly, if not totally undocumented, sans for a Mandarake listing I saw years ago. The group appears to have been late age high school age girls and young college age women. The art is quite good! Lots of short stories, poems and letters. Many of these young women would later go on to participate in Mari Hibiki's NORMAL imprint. It would appear that this particular circle would also later exhibit at Comiket as well - this particular volume now joins an earlier work as I acquired it last year. When able, I'll be sure to share as always!
