Printing of the content and the binder are manufactured by hand by chiku chiku laboratory. The content is printed on copy paper by laser printing. The binder are processed from a mass-produced product by cutting out a necessary part, making rounded corners and stripping off all the inner surface paper and a part of external surface paper, thus each cover shows a different face. A cloth tag with the title printed is sewn on the spine of the binder and hanging down like a shoehorn.
