Personal Collection: [Tōshō Daimos FC / Nippon Sunrise] Justine Vol. 2 (1978) [闘将ダイモスF.C. / 株式会社サンライズ] ジャスティーン 第2巻 (1978) 昭和 53 年























Volume 2 of the official Daimos fan club, run by organizers Allan, Saori, Ryu S. , and Kaori. While comprised of high school age students, the group was relatively small and controlled in its earliest inceptions by having only about 130 members. Uniquely, this group made mention that most of their future books, including volume 2, would continue to be cheaply done via offset printing to have funds available for other club activities, such as screenings and giveaways. Ai Naniwa appears to have contributed artwork to this issue although they are uncredited. Given the timeline in which this particular book was released, this would align with Ai Naniwa's work with the Voltes V fan club as well. 

This book features general fan impressions and opts as both a newsletter with fanart and interviews. Typical "behind the scenes" setting data is included as many of these documents weren't publicly available. Akira Kamiya is scheduled to be interviewed for volume 3. There isn't much available on the group online in their activities, however, the group was based out of Ishihata, Mizuho Town of the Nishitama District of Tokyo. 

Acquired from M who gave it to me with a ton more at the time, though this one in particular is a nice addition to a collective history on Sunrise, much less officially sanctioned groups.
