[Features of the e-book version of “Holla Snow Age August special edition National University Content Guide Issue”] ● E-book version realized in response to requests from over 80% of teachers at schools that use the magazine In a satisfaction survey conducted by our company in the spring of 2025 targeting high school teachers nationwide, over 80% of teachers at schools that use the magazine strongly requested that “Keisetsu Jidai Special Edition” be made into an e-book. The Keisetsu Jidai Special Edition editorial team has decided to release the magazine as an e-book in order to meet these expectations and express their gratitude to the teachers who regularly support the magazine. At the same time, we have received valuable feedback from many teachers who wish the booklet version to remain. We will listen carefully to these requests and continue publishing the booklet in a hybrid format of both booklet and e-book. ●The thick booklet, over 1,000 pages, is now even more convenient in digital form! The “Keisetsu Jidai Special Edition,” used every year by many test takers and educators, is a thick, heavy booklet of over 1,000 pages, making it difficult to carry around. Now available as an e-book, it can be easily viewed anytime, anywhere on smartphones and tablet devices, providing convenient information access regardless of location. ●Supporting the digitalization of high school career guidance! In recent years, digitalization has been rapidly progressing in career guidance settings at high schools across the country. The e-book version of this series responds flexibly to these changing times and strengthens the provision of information optimized for the digital environment, allowing teachers to provide career guidance to students more smoothly and efficiently. [About future developments] Starting with this “Keisetsu Jidai August Special Issue: National University Content Guide,” we are considering making all future “Keisetsu Jidai Special Issues” available as e-books. We will continue to evolve the publication to become an even more attractive and valuable medium for high school teachers, cram school and prep school instructors, high school students aiming to go to university, and their parents.
