New Items: VOTOMS Doujinshi by Project Hurricane
When we started garagekit.club earlier this year, it was our hope that we could use it not just as a platform to sell Zimmerit books but also import model kits and doujinshi from Japan that would otherwise be hard to purchase overseas.
I’m pleased to announce that we've been able to begin doing this with VOTOMS doujinshi from the Japanese doujin circle Project Hurricane. Thanks to the cooperation of Nitta-san from Project Hurricane, garagekit.club is now able to offer a limited quantity of these VOTOMS doujinshi for sale.
Here's what we've got:
- VOTOMS Connection is a B5-sized book series with color covers, black and white interior pages, and square-bound binding. Inside you’ll find articles about VOTOMS topics, original artwork, and model kit build-up features with lots of photos.
- VOTOMS Press DX books have a slimmer page count and are staple bound, but have full color interior pages and a big focus on VOTOMS garage kits.
Old anime, garage kits, and doujinshi are niche topics but our hope is that by making these kind of items more accessible to folks overseas we can deepen our connection to fans around the world.
