Some of you may have seen this among other circles already, but I just dashed back from Kino's with January's Animedia, Animage *and* Newtype... and it is known that Newtype came with one illustration for Iroha by Yuusuke Kozaki. Here I was thinking it was one of the eyecatches...
BUT IT'S NOT!
So I have scanned it in for you guys. Image after the cut! Many thanks to my brother
nyankoframe for helping me pay for it...
[Dec 14 17:00 GMT edit: Also after the cut: a hueg joined-up version of the Animedia spread, which you may have seen previously
here, and also, a scan of an ad for the soundtrack from Newtype which shows a picture of the cover in bigger detail... yes, I know "Improved Animedia spread" sounds like some bizarre margarine or something...]
Akizuki graces the months of March and April.
And for a version that is 2x as large, please go here:

This is a smallish ad for the Iroha OST, on the 2nd page of January's Newtype. It was only like... a little larger than 1/4 of an A4 page? I may be in the minority here but I REALLY like his pose (HIS CAPE IS FLAPPING OFF!!!), and Kozaki-sensei shows his leetness with the excellent foreshortening.
Pardon my shitty cropping D: I couldn't give a damn after spending way too much time trying to "fix" the next image. Um, the small white bits seem to be printed on.

And here is that Animedia spread once again...
Except I tried my hardest to join them together (and I ended up putting the wrong setting which is why Akizuki's cape looks blocky T_T) I'm sure you can still pick out where the dividing line is though...
2x bigger:

4x bigger:

Here you can bitch at me if it looks funny because I was figuring out how to use the new scanner. I've never done this whole magazine-scanning business let alone trying to fixx0r them together so please forgive me OTL.)
Crediting - please do NOT credit me for any of these pics, period (thanks).
Hope you benefit from them. Go churn out icons, you iconophiles and image gurus out there! Blah!
If you would like any other scans from any of the 3 mags, just mention it, I can do it gladly :)
