Famitsu Brothers has it's finger on the pulse of the novelty and videogame market in Japan. The bulk of the periodical is hundreds of pages of manga featuring Brave Fencer, Aya Brea (of Parasite Eve fame) and other popular Japanese manga characters. This particular issue spans 484 pages and looks like a mini telephone book.

Pocket Monsters Fishing Lures

A whimsical collection of Pocket Monsters fishing lures is featured. Pocket Monsters keychains, buttons, and plush dolls are also scattered throughout this issue. The recent N64 game Pocket Monsters Stadium gets a thorough tactical treatise.

Brave Fencer Manga Panel

The Brave Fencer manga features our current favorite video-game character in a battle with a skull creature which features intense manga action and the usual "fast moving" panels as the battle intensifies. The Aya Brea manga goes overboard with exaggerated expressions and a convoluted storyline.
Famitsu Bros will provide the manga-boy with hours of reading as he explores the tome-like pages of this latest volume. The latest toy and video-game news serves to give this magazine a respite from all the manga action.
