Hell's Paradise: a PFP Zine
Hell’s Paradise Zine explores the characters and relationships within Yuji Kaku’s Jigokuraku series in both canon and alternate universe settings, focusing on the strength and bond they share with one another, and the hardships they learn to overcome. This zine will be pay-for-production — this means beyond physical compensation of items for participants in this project, we do not expect to generate any profits and will be charging the closest possible price to production cost.
