Asakusa and Mizusaki's quest to create their "greatest world" in anime (and Kanamori's quest to make it pay!) takes inspiration once again from the real mysteries that fill Shibahama's school and town, as their audio engineer Doumeki becomes obsessed with capturing the soundscapes of a ruined clock tower. Eizouken stages an exclusive screening with their rivals, the Anime Studies Club, whose faces are revealed at last, and it turns out they're very familiar faces . . . Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 168 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.99.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. Story and art by Sumito Oowara. Translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian (with assistance by Chitoku Teshima). Beyond the anime-the Eizouken storyline continues! Eizouken returns to their very first short anime, Clutch That Machete With Strength!, planning to expand it into a full-length work! Mizusaki recalling the lessons she learned in her days as a child actress may provide one key to moving forward-but what about a creative challange they haven't tackled seriously yet, voice acting? At the audition, the wily Sakurada wows with her rainbow range... but this voice acting genius is also Shibahama High's most wanted swindler! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 168 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.99.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. Story and art by Sumito Oowara. Translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian (with assistance by Chitoku Teshima). Beyond the anime-the Eizouken storyline continues! When Mizusaki begs Kanamori to fill in for her on a fashion shoot, Kanamori finds her campus rival in willpower, student council secretary Sowande, has been booked for the same gig! But as always, the real rivalry in Eizouken is the creative one, as Mizusaki also realizes that she's not the only talented amateur animator out there, and writer and director Asakusa ponders what it means to be able to successfully complete a work on their terms, if an outside audience doesn't understand what they were trying to say! Student screenings are one thing, but how will Clutch That Machete With Strength! fare before festival judges at an anime tournament...? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 168 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.99.
