Personal Collection: [Violet Mercury (Shikiko Yamaai) / Tokyo Jack / Bolin Tomita (Tomita Makubayashi)] TRIANGLE vol. 1 (1982) [バイオレットマーキュリー (山藍紫姫子) / Tokyo Jack / Bolin Tomita (富田幕林)] TRIANGLE 第1巻

 

Acquired in an estate lot of books, this is the 1st volume and one of the first collaborative efforts of the circle Violet Mercury (バイオレットマーキュリー), primarily featuring the contributions of its head artist, the mangaka and novelist Shikiko Yamaai (山藍紫姫子). Tokyo Jack and Tomita Makubayashi (富田幕林 / aka Bolin Tomita, a Japanese play on the guitarist Tommy Bolin), contribute as well. This book contains a variety of novels and illustrations, primarily around Char x Garma, with additional Daimos and Goshogun works.

Unique features of this work are its step above most productions of the time - unlike standard paper bound works, this doujin is bound with printed and bound vellum. Given its price, this was quite the expensive coterie magazine and was for adult age fujoshi.
