Much like its sister magazines Kairakuten and BEAST, Shitsurakuten is a long-running magazine in Japan, and this month we're celebrating its 100th issues!
This volume sees some artists from the other magazines joining in on the festivities. After a year-long hiatus,
Bosshi is back with a color short about two students who can't wait another week for their supplementary lessons, and insist that their teacher joins them at a secluded area of the school building.
Yahiro Pochi also makes a guest appearance with a story about a boy who runs into a group of guys just as they're about to force themselves on the girl he has a crush on. He manages to drive them away by telling them he's called the police, but after the event, the girl moves abroad and the gang harasses the boy to the point where he stops going to school and shuts himself inside his room. The girl comes back to Japan a year later, and she visits him hoping she'd be able to get him to change his hikikomori ways.
In this issue we also get a couple two-page color illustrations by
Yumeno Tanuki,
momi,
BoBoBo,
orico, and a special double-faced cover by
MEME50!
