CODE RED – creatures are attacking from allover!

The attack isn’t coming from the outer space. The revue Otaku Magazine provides protection and free crossing for all the creatures INVADING Ro, Japan, Germany, Argentina, France, U.S.A., Australia, Spain, The Netherlands, UK etc. Regardless the continent or origin country, all creatures are permitted to pass freely. No matter if they have several eyes or only one; tentacles, legs, cilia or hairy hands with claws, we should already know them by name. They are looked for by the collectors, designers, otakus and by other groupies who lurk them in the street, in stores, on the shelves and in catalogues and magazines specialized in the reproduction, taming and raising of characters.

Furthermore, right now we are the only ones to ensure within a magazine’s pages an existence unpolluted by advertising and spam, cancer-like for any kind of creature, human or not.
