Fun TV King July Issue – GetP-XX Special

Editorial Review

★3.2 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

This is a creator-curated retrospective masquerading as a magazine issue, and it’s the kind of niche appeal that defines the healthier end of the doujinshi ecosystem. Rather than a traditional narrative work, you’re getting a deliberate archive: the second half of a mecha series bundled with production ephemera, design documentation, and what amounts to a preview for an unreleased sequel. It’s less “story” and more “lore compendium by someone who refuses to let their work fade into obscurity.”

The distinctive pull here is comprehensiveness. Akira Hatachi has collated color illustrations of the Get P-XX units alongside a new ten-page comic, but the real substance lies in the encyclopedic material—boss character profiles, space beast documentation, and cancelled adaptation concepts that reveal the decision-making behind what shipped versus what didn’t. The inclusion of the 1999 Fun TV King August issue in the remaster package adds temporal depth, contextualizing how these designs evolved across decades. The Get P Cello protagonist mecha reveal functions as a roadmap for where the series intends to go, rewarding long-term investment. This is curatorial work, not improvised content.

The JPEG format is purely functional here; this reads as production documentation first, consumable media second. The target audience is explicitly defined by the creator’s note: existing Get P-X/Get P-XX fans with genuine appetite for design archaeology and world-building granularity rather than casual readers seeking narrative momentum.

A curator’s gift to an established fanbase rather than an entry point for newcomers—worthwhile if you’re already invested in this mecha lineage, dispensable if you’re approaching cold.
