Just like early SM King, these earlier issues of SM Kitan featured painted covers by Ran Akiyoshi. This issue features kinbaku illustrations by Youko Ozuma (Kaname Ozuma), Yoji Muku, Harumi Nishimura and many more. There is some general discoloration from age on a couple pages but overall pretty good condition.
