'Pretty Bad Boys!: A Takahiro Sakurai Tribute Zine, is an art zine dedicated to characters voiced or dubbed by voice actor Takahiro Sakurai. The zine is part of a series dedicated to Japanese voice actors including Reverence: A Romi Park Tribute Zine, Young Prince!: A Mamoru Miyano Tribute Zine, and My Man!!: A Junichi Suwabe Tribute Zine.
About
On May 28, 2019, Twitter artist andythelemon proposed making a minizine featuring anime characters voiced by Takahiro Sakurai[1]. The post included a list of ten characters the artist guaranteed would be in the zine. The artist also added later that bonus Edward Cullen stickers would be included in the physical release of the zine[2].
Preorders for a physical edition opened on August 12 to September 5, 2019[3]. These preorders included a pack of postcard prints and a glittery sticker of Edward Cullen.
On September 27, 2019, andythelemon posted that the money (approximately £338, $415, or ¥41K with international transfer fees) made from Pretty Bad Boys and a Tsurune zine was donated to the Kyoto Animation's bank account[4].
The success of Pretty Bad Boys! led to the creation of Young Prince!: A Mamoru Miyano Tribute Zine later in the year and Reverence: A Romi Park Tribute Zine the year after.
