Yuu Kawakami is the central figure. The opening pages combine the staged video narrative Beautiful Sacrifice with her ten-year selection of memorable works. The retrospective preserves DVD covers, release dates, labels, production stills, and short commentaries, documenting Kawakami’s movement between the Morino Shizuku and Yuu Kawakami identities and the changing commercial forms of Japanese SM video. Further photographic sections feature Naka Akira, married-woman bondage imagery, and Dogma productions.

The middle of the issue includes an interview with Dogma director TOHJIRO, a documentary-style feature following Sumire’s staged first restraint experience, news columns, collector notices, reader correspondence, event announcements, and a Sunshop sales ranking. Numerous promotional pages present Cinemagic, Art Video, and SM-club products through short narrative synopses and image-heavy portfolios.

The literary centerpiece is Kanda Tsubaki’s serialized novel The Woman of the Slave Market. The closing section returns to Yuu Kawakami through The Saint of Abuse, a dated photographic archive extending across several years. Editorial afterword, contents/DVD index, equipment catalogues, house advertisements, and back-cover promotion complete an issue whose dominant identity is archival, commercial, and intensely visual.
