Acquired from M in Hyogo during his storage clean out. Released just 6 days after Daicon IV, this work contains documentation of the event alongside Fraw Bow centric work, comics and short stories. Inclusions of Ideon, Vifam and other SF/Mecha works are also notable. The book's layout is very bizarre and it seems to be a joint issue of two different manuscripts - the lettering in the back begins at page 12 or so and stops being numbered while the beginning is adequately numbered. Presented as found, nothing seems to be missing. The author / publisher is stated to be Ayumu Nagamine with several contributing authors and a large onset of members in a mailing list.

---------------------

Ayumu also is noted to have gone by Ayumi Nagamine (ながみねあゆみ) and further research shows that they went on to be a rather accomplished painter. The title comes from the final episode of the TV version of Mobile Suit Gundam where Amuro says that Fraw is his "beloved" or "favorite". Many of the works are Amuro x Fraw related and deal with their lives post the One Year War.

The book is comprised of what appears to be two manuscripts or texts, the lettering is different towards the middle of the pages, but as its folded as so, that is the order as found / given to me. Nagamine appears to have known Sato Ichigen and noted that he couldn't contribute as he was working on Giant Gorg and The Motion Comic at the time.

"さて、さと一元くんはどーなったんじゃ!? と思う方もいると思うけど、ゴーグや、モーション コミックの仕事がいそがしくて描けない~한 ゆーコトで、今回はカンパンして~!で、ゴメン。 そもお手紙はまってるよー。………ね♡"
