is there a difference between 'hyper hobby' (the one garadama scanned) and just regular 'hobby japan'? i'm guessing they are totally different magazines but i figured i'd ask cause an anime store near me stocks hobby japan, but not hyper hobby.
They are different magazines. In my experience, Hobby Japan is much more readily available outside of Japan.
Just to be clear, I saw it there, so it's not hearsay... ...unless I was having a serious psychotic episode, which should never be ruled out.
