D-Tective is a fun and insightful zine that lets you in on the secret methods for guessing the "size ;)" of a guy, just by looking at clearly visible clues. Consider yourself deputized. Badge not included, but the confidence comes free.
It's uniquely based on social science (1000+ people read!), so yes, this is basically research, and you are basically a scholar. Wear that title proudly.
Dirty, yet flirty, and impossible to forget, it's the kind of icebreaker that gets a conversation going before anyone has finished their first drink.
There's also a log for your first 20 readings, so you can keep your case files in order. It makes a fun gift for the friend who already thinks they're a detective (you know the one).
One copy costs less than a pair of the lowest and highest shrine/temple stamps, but it's just as culturally relevant!

About the Designer
Meet Don, AKA The Mayor of 2Chome (that’s Tokyo’s gay district, for the uninitiated). He’s an American Scrabble enthusiast, social butterfly, avid people watcher, and a card-carrying connoisseur of LGBTQIA+ and pop culture.
Don double majored in Political Science and Japanese Language and Culture at Eastern Michigan University, and he has spent over 15 years living in Japan, working in product development and marketing. Not a bad way to earn the title of Mayor.
When he’s not at work, he’s busy creating. His list includes YouTube, cooking, singer-songwriting, music production, singing, dancing, acting, MC’ing and drag. Frankly, we’re tired just typing it. “D-Tective” is his first foray into writing and printed media, and he plans to keep going with more chaotic, fun, adult-themed booklets.
Don believes it doesn’t matter how much you age. Everyone is capable of learning something new that can change their outlook in a positive way. We’d say that’s a good philosophy for a Mayor.
