Ripped straight from Mandarake (https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoJa.html?index=415821) and enhanced, this is a great example of fujo/women's participation in fandom as from the mid 1970s in Japan. This fanclub was discussed in my copy of the Brave Raideen Roman Album by Tokuma Shoten, but I wasn't knowledgeable until now about the scale of the fan club itself.

The fan club exceeded 1000 members at its peak. Members were limited to female junior and senior high school students, whereas boys were forbidden. In addition, female fans went to the production studio to interview the voice actors, animators, and production staff. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's character design is one of the mainn reasons why Raideen gained such a cult following among young girls, mainly due to Akira Hibiki and Prince Sharkin (who would become the template for Char Aznable some years later).

These books in general contained correspondence from others interested in the TV series, artwork, fan fiction, interviews, and official settei. Later magazines would include works from other shows of interest to the club, such as Getter Robo G and Zambot 3.

I'm mainly uploading to preserve the legacy of these fans considering all they put into the community surrounding it. Pages 19 - 28 are not the best quality, but are archived and edited for clarity as best I could given the quality listed on Mandarake.

If you'd like to help me buy more texts to scan, I'd appreciate it! Any and all support is welcome.:
