Each issue of Megami Magazine ("the Anime & Bishoujo Game Character information magazine") features tons and tons of free stuff, including wonderful posters (there are *13* two-sided color posters in vol. 11, in front of me), telephone cards, punch out "character stands," stickers and more. The quality of printing and artwork in this wonderful magazine, which focuses on cute girls from anime and bishoujo games, cannot be overstated. You can expect to get your fill of such popular anime/game series as Clannad, Lucky Star, Haruhi Suzumiya, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, School Days, Evangelion, Sekirei, Kanokon, Ikki Tousen, Da Capo II, Gunslinger Girls, Girls Avenue, K-On (Keion), Strike Witches, Zero no Tsukaima, To Love-ru, and more -- you will not be let down by this amazing magazine at all.
