This thread consists of as many Japanese documents as possible, I’ve taken the time to scan everything I own although I still have a lot to add down the line. Each document is broken down from its contents to some of the better images inside of each I wanted to preview.
There is a link to a PDF of each that you can download for FREE, if you’ve never had the opportunity to own them or enjoy the contents then here you go.
Every scan is in pretty high detail (600dpi) but not crazy enough to take 30 minutes to load up (the Silver Bible is slower due to its large size).
Credit to pokeboon.com for the magazine content translations and darkrai for sharing the Kamex Mega Battle scans which saved me destroying mine.
Please click the links for the PDF and spoiler tags to show the images
