A CHANNEL.ZIP Visual Fan Book5 min read

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A CHANNEL.ZIP Visual Fan Book has a load of illustrations despite being a visual fan book. It’s one part illustrations and one part manga production.

A CHANNEL.ZIP Visual Fan Book is a softcover, B5-sized book with 96-pages, half of which include the gallery. This book focuses entirely on the manga. There will be a visual guide book out later this month for the anime series later this month.

Most of the illustrations are printed on a full page with space for margins. There are also a few illustrations that take up half a page.

The gallery section, titled Color Illustration Collection, also includes some rough sketches and full-color versions of the four-panel manga.

The fan section starts out with “Characters,” introducing the four main girls and including the manga panels. It also includes favorite scenes for each girl.

After the Characters section is Questionnaire & Reader’s Comment. This section is only 6-pages, but it includes polls on the characters. The book ends with an interview with Kuroda bb. A CHANNEL.ZIP Visual Fan Book is nice overall, and I think it’s priced right for its content. I still have a glimmering hope that Kuroda bb will someday release a self-titled collection!
