Mono magazine articles, 2024

Just before the release of REBEL 3199 Chapter 1 in July 2024, Mono magazine No. 942 (published by World Photo Press) became the first to carry a Yamato cover story for the big event. And what a story it was; 44 pages of features covering Yamato both old and new.

Among the various features were six articles either interviewing or written by professionals who discussed different aspects of Yamato that in some way related to their specialty. All six are presented below.
