Drawing Days is a scrapbook-themed zine for Katekyo Hitman Reborn!.
About
The fanzine was announced to be coming soon on October 7, 2020[1]. Interest checks ran from October 10 to October 30, 2020[2]. A reported total of 221 responses was received, and a more detailed report of the interest check results was published on November 10th[3][4]. The zine was then decided to be scrapbook-themed with the name of Drawing Days, the title of the first opening theme song of the anime adaptation of the series.
Applications for a finance and shipping mod opened from October 14 to November 5, 2020[5]. Contributor applications for page artists, merch artists, and writers opened from November 15 to December 15, 2020[6]. All results were emailed out by December 22, 2020[7]. A full lineup of contributors was publicly announced on January 12, 2021[8].
Preorders opened on May 17, 2021, with the following pricing tiers[9]:
- Sketch Bundle - PDF Zine
- Lineart Bundle - Physical Zine, PDF Zine, 3 Random Character Cards
- Colour Bundle - Physical Zine, PDF Zine, Sticker Sheet, Prints, Die-cut Stickers, 6 Random Character Cards
- Canvas Bundle - Physical Zine, PDF Zine, Sticker Sheet, Prints, Die-cut Stickers, Acrylic Charms, All Character Cards
Stretch goals included a notepad at 35 orders, an enamel pin at 50 orders, and a gold foil stamping on physical zines at 100 orders[10]. A giveaway was hosted from May 24 to June 14, 2021, for a physical copy of the zine with a merch item of the winner's choice, and a runner up prize for a full set of character cards[11]. Preorders closed on June 17, 2021[12]. In an answered question on Curious Cat, over 200 orders were reported to have been made[13].
Shipping of physical orders began on September 5, 2021[14]. Some orders to Australia were delayed due to USPS suspending service to Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic[15]. All orders were shipped out and all PDFs were sent out by October 22, 2021[16]. Leftover sales were opened on January 15, 2022[17]. The zine's online shopped closed on February 5, 2022[18].

Received my zine from @khrfanzine last year and absolutely loved it! This zine reminded me of binging KHR for a week straight instead of doing my book report during spring break in hs😂
Thanks to all the mods/artists/contributors for this amazing project![26]
