Cyzō: The Info Ninja

I am a big fan of Cyzō - an intelligent magazine that works to break down some of the information barriers in the Japanese media (and lately, show girls in various states of undress). They do a lot of stories on "ura" Japan and say a lot of things publicly that you're not supposed to. Back in July of 2001, they did a piece mocking A Bathing Ape's Nigo as a specimen of social disease. They had used an unauthorized picture of Nigo from Takarajima magazine and were sued by Nigo and someone at Takarajima for illegal use of the image. Cyzō was forced to recall every single copy of that issue. (No problem: I have copies!)

Yeah, that definitely sounds like an interesting magazine. Does it have a high circulation.
