Gallery – 1996 Ciao Furoku
Home

Like other popular children’s manga magazines at the time, Ciao issues included furoku (bonus gifts) bundled with each edition. Furoku can take many forms including pre-packaged plastic toys and drawing materials, but during the 80s and 90s the most common furoku you’d receive with shoujo manga magazines were cardboard/paper goods and adhesives. During Wedding Peach‘s run in the magazine it enjoyed a decent level of popularity among readers, meaning it also received some snazzy furoku, much of which was illustrated by Yazawa Nao.

As with other Wedding Peach items, furoku from Ciao magazine in 1996 is difficult to come by and fairly expensive to obtain these days, but I am happy to share what I have in my personal collection with other fans.

Ciao 1996 January — Ciao 1996 Calendar

Calendars are very common furoku items for January issues of shoujo magazines as they allow readers to reflect on their favourite manga throughout the year. 1996 was no different for Ciao and Wedding Peach enjoyed a prominent football (soccer)-themed illustration by Yazawa-sensei for display during the month of September.

One such character is Peach from Wedding Peach as illustrated by Yazawa-sensei.
