Another week, another zine review! [Obligatory ko-fi link to support this project]

This week is the last of our digital zines (unless another one is requested, which you can do in the askbox or over ko-fi!). For this week, we're stepping into the world of Selfless Devotion with Kirumi zine!

As per usual, since this is a free digital zine still available for download (you can grab it here!), I've included images from inside the zine. If this is against the wishes of the creators, just drop me a note and I'll remove them!

The TL;DR on this one is this zine is very worth it! It's juuuuust ever so slightly on the short side, but it's more than reasonable for a free digital zine, and my gripes with it are few and far between.

That said, we're going to start with one of those few gripes: the cover. There's nothing wrong with the art actually used for the cover of Selfless Devotion, but the formatting - particularly, the position and effects on the text - is very simple. The words were clearly done after the fact, not planned as a seamless part of the piece. Compare it to, for example, the text on the cover of Tenko zine, and there's a real gap in first impressions. There's also no back cover at all, which, even in digital zines, is something I personally don't love to see.

Beyond that, though, I think there's very little to complain about in this zine! There is a difference in fic length by about 4 pages from some fic to 8 pages in other fics, but that size difference is common in zines, even if it isn't what I'd personally prefer. The actual proportion of art to fics is good - it never feels like I'm leafing through fics with art speckled in between, as some zines feel. It is a robust-feeling zine, with plenty of content for its mid-60s page count.

Another small critique I have is the proportion of other characters. There are, for some reason, two Kirumi and Leon pieces, despite Kirumi and Leon having exactly one interaction in UTDP; on the other hand, Shuichi doesn't feature at all, despite potentially becoming close enough for Kirumi to consider him her future master. It would've done the zine good to have slightly more oversight on how much each character appeared, proportional to their relationship to Kirumi.

One thing I will call out as an appreciative point is how easy to read the page numbers are for the fics in this zine. I always appreciate a nice, obvious page number for ease of leafing through, and I thought they did very well with it!

In terms of merch, the art itself is great. My only complaint is that it seems like the merch wasn't created with entirely standardized templates? Q and Nia's phone backgrounds, for example, are sized with two different proportions. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it is odd to do in a zine - normally, something like that would standardized.

If you think my critiques are nitpicky in this one, it's because they are! This is a fantastic zine, one where I had to search for things to be critical of. And I would highly recommend downloading a copy!

On Kirumi Tojo’s 18th birthday, she learns that a popular show is opening up auditions soon. A show… that can turn her into someone else. Someone she’s always longed to be.
