Mari Illusrious Makinami, the new pilot.

Wearing glasses as seen in the trailer.

Mari's plug suit and helmet looks quite different from other pilots'. These figurines of heroines are freebie attacheed to Kadokawa Shoten's magazines. Mari in plug suit comes with Young Ace Vol.1, the new monthly seinen manga magazine to be launched on July 4. "Mari school uniform ver." comes with August issue of Newtype (out Jul. 10), "Asuka: Sadamoto's Illustration ver." comes with Young Ace Vol.2 (Aug. 4).

"Hakone Complementation Map" was displayed.

Our article about the map was printed out to inform the customers the novelty of the map.

Glad to see someone reading it. The maps were distributed only in Hakone but they're considering some way to reach people too far away from Hakone to get a hand on it, so maybe you can wait in hope.
