2. The “Faces” directory hits late November/early December every year. The more expensive, much more beautiful “Full Body” directory is 2-3 weeks later but covers far fewer of the regional indies.

   Both are good but I prefer the latter cause you get a really clean pic of everyone in their gear.

3. There’s a severe lack of Kento Miyahara here

4. Kinda surprised there’s no Kiyomiya on the cover. I know he didn’t really “accomplish” a lot, but he made a fair few waves this year. BEYOND excited to see Chris Brookes on there, though!

5. I’m so happy for Brookes

   Again

6. lets go Jake Lee
