There are only two issues left until the suspension. On the cover of this issue, famous characters who have been active in serialization so far gather in "Shoji Yamafuji's Black Angle"! A parade of plans for permanent preservation, such as the serialization "Weekly Asahi and Social Conditions" that unravels the 101-year history of this magazine. In addition, Mariko's guest collection includes a weekly library special, an interview with a woman who denounced sexual violence in the Self-Defense Forces, a report by a reporter who was forced to decide whether or not her parents could receive life-prolonging treatment, and the 11 high school rankings of successful college students. We offer a wide variety of products.

Finally, it was the 2th issue until the suspension. The theme of the second installment of the series "People's Lives Reported by Weekly Asahi" is "We lived in a period of rapid economic growth." We will look back on the magazine from the time, such as the memoirs of Michiko Kaba's mother, who died in the 1960 security struggle, and the oil shock madness that ran through the archipelago. For the 4th installment of Ken Kaiko's tribute project, "Zubari Tokyo 2023," writer Ryo Isobe chased the vision of Teamer. Sadao Tokairin's long-running series "I want to eat that too, I want to eat this too" will introduce 37 selected illustrations.
