Hello! I'm Azu, and I'm so, so excited to make this zine a reality! I've loved Saiibo almost as soon as I got into Danganronpa, more than one year ago. I’m also a long-time Kirby fan. Other than that, I like drawing, writing, cats and science.
Favorite thing about Saiibo?I love how sweet they are to each other, especially in their love suite event. They’re super cute and silly together 🩵

I'm Kro and I'm very excited to be your Art Mod. I'm a college student majoring in Sequential Art with a minor in Concept Design. I got in to zines through Danganronpa, so I love working on them. My favorite Danganronpa game is Goodbye Despair and my favorite characters are Gundham, Hajime, Sayaka, and Tsumugi. I also enjoy Ace Attorney, Omori, and Night in the Woods!

My Steam profile bio is emoticons of four (and a half) different video game teen detectives, I was never going to be anything but a massive Saihara fan.
Favorite thing about Saiibo?They're both so anxious about the ways that they're perceived, and I think the other's presence is a good reminder of their respective positive qualities.

Hi! I'm Avis! I like medieval literature, vocaloid, and designing merch! I run an etsy store where I sell keychains and pins. Been getting really into oatmeal lately.
Favorite thing about Saiibo?I think that Shuichi should be the Lois Lane to Kiibo's superman. I think that they're both characters who rely on others for their moral compasses, and that similarity intrigues me.
