What is this strange looking book with Ayumi's name on it?
 
http://www.amazon.com/SEASONS-Hamasa...masaki+seasons

I was looking through Amazon and found this book with her name and appears to be a...drawing of her (?) on the cover...

Does anyone know what this is?

I also found these as well:

Maybe it's one of those unofficial biographies? Doing unofficial biographies was really big in the late 90's / early 2000's to capitalize on the success of artists.

By googling the first one's ISBN this site came up: http://blog.livedoor.jp/ilove_ayu/

This is the description if someone can translate:

I see... I hope someone could translate that.

Thanks for the info. I was really tempted to purchase one just to see what it looked like inside. ^_^

Aren't those some of the fan made doujinshi manga? :O

There was only one doujinshi manga, Miracle Passion.

These "ayu-mi-ekkusu" books with the horrible fan art covers are indeed biographies. Some of them have pretty rare photos inside (like the Fukuoka Bank posters she did) but most of them don't have content we don't already know or haven't already seen.

Thanks for clarifying! :) I thought they made more doujinshi manga with her in it! ^^

I won't be buying these for my collection then! :)
