Tax included
This is a double pack of the Japanese version of the zine, so you can keep one for yourself and hand the other to a friend, or to someone you'd like to compare "notes" with.
It was written and researched by local Internet personality Don Cortex, the "Mayor of Nichome", as a tie-in with his YouTube series.
D-Tective is a fun and surprisingly insightful zine that teaches you the secret methods for guessing the "size ;)" of a guy, just by looking at clearly visible clues. Think of it as detective work, except the case is very personal.
Uniquely based on social science (1000+ people read!)
A dirty, yet flirty and memorable icebreaker
Includes a log for your first 20 readings, which makes it a fun gift option
One copy costs less than a pair of the lowest and highest shrine/temple stamps, and it's just as culturally relevant.
Printed in and shipping from Japan.

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.
