ぴこぷり Pikopuri Summer 2015 Magazine - GIRLS MODE 3

It's time to take a look at another Japanese magazine featuring information on the Girls Mode series. This is the ぴこぷり Pikopuri Summer 2015 Magazine released in June 2015 in Japan and features 124 dedicated to various video games aimed at young girls. I mainly brought this issue for the content on Girls Mode 3, Disney Magical Castle: My Happy Life and Animal Crossing. This particular issue came with the usual Animal Crossing QR Code appendix book, stickers and some special origami of some villagers. Today we'll just be looking at the Girls Mode 3 content of the magazine which covers a few pages. First off is the cover of the magazine which is bright and colourful as usual.

 The title page of the Girls Mode 3 section features the character that the magazine uses for the game and a cute photo of a character in game wearing a dress from Marzipan Sky (known as La Chou Chou in Japan). The next page features some more outfits which is the standard content you will see in the Pikopuri magazines with Girls Mode stuff. There are some cute Girls Mode themed comic manga strips included on some of the pages. They follow the adventures of the character shown on the title page and her doing things around Bougainville and interacting with characters like Sophie.

Some more outfit photos are shown on the next few pages. The Pikopuri magazines along with the Girls Mode content in the キャラぱふぇゲーム Chara Parfait magazines and special Girls Mode book are great resources for getting outfit ideas. I know I've gotten some inspiration from outfits I've seen in the magazines which were combinations I never thought of or items I've kinda ignored.

One of the Girls Mode 3 focuses of this issue of ぴこぷり Pikopuri was working at the Beautician. T Here is two pages talking about requests at the Beautician as well as make-up sets. I really miss the special make-up sets as they didn't appear in Styling Star. They had such unique looks to each one and were perfect for all the different images in the game.

A bunch of random pages now covering a few different game topics and the cutest chibi drawing of the character ever! It's so adorable!! There's a page with some tips about Rainbow and the most hilarious look final panel of the manga strip. I'm sure we've all wanted to give Rainbow a silly photo like that one. Her page also had some quick information about amiibo items in game which I've talked about a lot here!

This page looks at designing emblems in the game which is something I've never really used. I'm just not very good at it and never used the design function much past the commission requests. There is a section detailing the Pink Latte DLC which was available for download in Japan as well as Europe and Australia. You get some cute clothing items which I've actually used a fair bit in game and some miniatures themed around the Pink Latte mascot. Check out my Pink Latte DLC Guide for more information and unfortunately this set is not available for download in North America.

One of the last things featured in the magazine is a short snippet about the GIRLS MODE 3 キラキラ☆コーデ Book which was a special book released in Japan focusing solely on the third instalment to the GIRLS MODE series. I've posted photos of every page in the book over two posts which you can find in Part 1 and Part 2.

The GIRLS MODE game shows up again near the end of the book with some promotional material and other information about the Pikopuri magazine. I do have a few more issues of the magazine with GIRLS MODE content which I'll take some photos of some day. This particular issue has gone out of print on most sites and I believe I brought it around the time is was released or shortly after.
