Character Goods

Several promotional telephone cards have been produced by Afternoon magazine. The magazine also made a promotional T-shirt featuring Kikuhime. These items were only available by sending a postcard to Afternoon. Kodansha also produced a pin and telephone card set. The set is contained in a book featuring original art by Takada-sensei. Some images are below.

The note in the picture for the pin and telephone card set says that a trial product is pictured, so the real thing may look slightly different. You can see a complete description of the set in this 78 KB image.
