The test prints are cut from a series of drafts our risograph studio made while preparing to print the sheets for our zine. While not all, some of the drafts are of one ink layer — so for those prints, you can see how each layer is overlaid to make a full illustration. We hope you’ll enjoy them!

🌙 UPDATE

Shipping is still underway! Thank you all so much for your patience — we want to take the time to ensure every copy is carefully assembled with love.

As an extra thanks, every package will come with an extra “test” print included, showing off some of the riso process.

The goal is to ensure most of you get your zines roughly around the same time. We hope that makes sense!

We’ll continue to be as fast as possible, but all assembly & shipping for the zine is being handled solo, so please expect it to take several weeks before everything is wrapped up. 💕

🌙UPDATE

Slowly but surely, shipping has begun! We’re starting with overseas orders first — in this case, those going outside of the Americas. After that, we’ll move on to international orders going to South America & then to the USA. The final orders sent will be domestic (within Canada).

we’re so sorry about the limited copies! the chance of more becoming available isn’t 0%, but there’s a lot of labour involved with putting the zines together. it will depend on what our organizer is capable of! we’re currently working on determining if it’s reasonably possible to make more copies. 💕

🌕🖤 @ryominariso.bsky.social · Feb 15

thanks so much for the kind words, and we’re so sorry about the limited copies 💔 since there’s a lot of labour involved, there’s only so many books our organizer can make at a time.

however, the demand was MUCH higher than we anticipated, so we’re figuring out atm if more copies might be possible!

6 hours later and we’re already fully sold out! We’re so, so grateful to each and every one of you for supporting us. We really didn’t expect it to happen so fast!

We won’t be able to accept any more orders for now. If that changes, we will be sure to make an announcement. 💌

Thank you ALL, so, so much for the incredible enthusiasm! We've already sold 70% of our planned copies. It's pretty much a certainty at this rate that we'll have to close up sales early. Again, thank you all for supporting our zine — we truly are so excited for you to see it!

That said: if there's enough interest in a PDF version, making one isn't totally out of the question — it will have to be once physical sales have ended, however. We'll do our best to start thinking of ways we can do this project justice for all of you! Thank you! 🤍

Riso art also looks quite different in person vs on a screen. Either way, we really don't want to spoil the surprise for everyone before they get to hold a copy of the book in their own hands, but we think you'll understand why a PDF just wouldn't have the same effect once you do!

⭐️We've been asked if we'll be selling PDFs of our zine, and unfortunately, it is difficult to to answer that question right now. The details are meant to be a secret, but our zine is actually built around a certain concept that just can't be properly translated into a non-physical format.
