It's been a while since I last posted a 'zine and the cover for this one seemed fitting for a Saturday morning - it has cleavage and the way she's holding her head brings hangover to mind. Also, I was supposed to do this one much earlier. Remember Koito #6 here? I had hidden this issue quite well but eventually found and scanned it. Also this one has an editorial (first for the 'zine?) and therein we discover the main editors were Max Cocco and Seb Leoni, assisted by Emidio Tribolati & Luca Di Matteo. Much of what I wrote concerning the previous issue applies here as well, the look is improved, review sections separated into various segments like European, videos, US & R.O.W., Little Italy, compilations etc. The background graphics are still there but this time they're not as disruptive to reading as in the previous issue. Due to a little mishap the Mortiis interview starts on page 56, continues on 60 and ends on 58. Likewise Journey Through the Dark interview starts on 58, continues through 59 to end at 57. Pages mixed up obviously, wonder why they could just fix it? That aside, still quite a good read like the previous issue and can be recommended.
