Art: 佐藤志生 (Shio Sato), Lettering: ヤロール (Yallor), Story: 留止 (Lcy)
Background
Not to be confused with Fumio Sato, a manga author with a similar name, Shio Sato (佐藤志生) is a reoccurring artist in 1980s BL Gundam doujinshi, as well as contributing artwork to Monthly OUT, an anime magazine from the time, along with Lcy (留止) who would sometimes write the associated stories. Their names pop up in a bunch of different circles and anthologies.
However, one circle stood has always stood out to me, and that’s the interestingly named シャアをネタに遊ぼう会, or Playing Around with Char Group. More literally it’s “playing around with Char material/jokes group” but it doesn’t as easily roll off the tongue in English.
Though the group published many doujinshi (which you can check out for yourself at my list of 1980s Gundam doujinshi), one of the standout series from this circle is called シャア出世物語, or Char’s Success Story. To my knowledge, it is made up of five volumes, a compilation, and a copybook, released between 1979 and 1980.
About this compilation
This compilation is split into eight chapters. Material in this book is compiled from three earlier releases: シャア出世物語
(Char’s Success Story), 続シャア出世物語 (Sequel to Char’s Success Story), and 続々シャア出世物語 (Another Sequel to Char’s Success Story) but with updated art and typesetting. I do not own the three aforementioned books at the time of writing, so I’m not aware of any other differences.
**I ask that you do not repost these scans elsewhere.**

シャア出世物語 I (Char’s Success Story I)
Clouds soared high in the blue sky. The sunlight that hits one’s skin was sometimes accompanied by a cool breeze. The so-called “autumn” was near. This is Earth Immigration Territory Side 3, also known as Zeon. Here, boys and girls over the age of 15 attending the high school attached to the Military Academy were being trained for the day Zeon achieved independence from the Earth Federation.
“Hey, Garma.”
“Hey there.”
“Garma, want to go to the movies with me today?”
“I’m sorry, I can’t.”
Garma Zabi. He was the youngest son of Degwin Zabi, the most influential person in the land. Not only did he attract attention for that alone, but he also had soft, glossy purple hair, a well-shaped nose, gentle lips, sharp eyes, and deep pupils. His near-perfect appearance was something that could not help but charm anyone he met.
“Garma, Kycilia-sama wants to see you.”
“My older sister?”
Garma immediately headed for the school’s reception office. To begin with, this school was built by the Zabi family, and the four siblings, including Garma, received a lot of special treatment compared to other students.
“Big sister, it’s Garma.”
“Come in.”
When he entered the room, there was Garma’s older sister Kycilia, who he admired greatly, and another boy who looked about the same age as him or a little older.
“Garma, this is Char Aznable. He’s a new student.”
Char looked at Garma and bowed slightly. This man did not have the usual expression of surprise and joy that one would expect to see on the face of someone meeting Garma for the first time. He did not even faintly smile.
“Which one… is he from a prestigious family, big sister?”
“No. To put it bluntly, we don’t even know his background.”
“Why would they let such a person into this prestigious school?”
Garma asked with a hint of disgust.
“The other day, there was a military exercise for one of the advanced classes. During this,
Char was watching from the side, and the students gave him a gun for fun. It seems he was skilled enough to shoot through a lilac petal from 100 meters away.”
“That’s…”
“In addition, his piloting of the Gaw and command of the cannon is second to none. Therefore, Garma…”
“Yes.”
“We have allowed him to enter the school with the understanding that he will be under your supervision. You will share a dormitory room, so please take good care of him.”
“Big sister… Alright, I’ll accept this responsibility.”
Despite the bad first impression, he couldn’t say no to his sister. Slender and tall, Char had an elegant face reminiscent of someone from a prestigious family. However, his whole body was sending out a kind of strange spiritual energy, which at times felt like bloodlust. Garma expressed admiration for his dignified older sister in the form of absolute obedience.
“This is our room, Aznable-kun.”
“Please call me Char, Zabi-kun.”
“Just Garma is fine for me too…”
At this moment, Garma looked at Char’s face again. His hair was light blond with a slight wave to it and seemed quite fine. His nose was straight and he had tight lips.
“Whoa, it’s Garma.”
“Garma, how are you?”
“Kyaa, Garma-sama!”
Every student that passed had something to say to Garma.
“You’re a popular guy.”
“It’s flattery. They think it would be to their benefit if I liked them.”
“But it’s true. The Zabi family is prestigious enough to be known even in the Federation. If you are on good terms with a son of the Zabi family, you should be able to get away with a lot.”
“Haha… I am not so foolish as to mix public affairs with friendship…”
Char chuckled at those words.
The next day the weather was as if summer had returned. With the crazy “sun” at the center, the students were caught between it and its rays beating off the ground.
“A-ah. If you go out in the middle of all this and touch any metal, you’ll get burnt. I’m sorry, Char, but tell them I’m not feeling well and I can’t make it to training.”
“No problem.”
Char replied quickly and went out alone. Before long, Garma fell asleep. The coolness of the “early evening” awakened him, but he soon fell asleep again. The next thing he knew, Char was at his side.
“Good morning. How are you feeling?”
“Huh… that’s pretty ironic.”
As Garma sat up while saying that, Char added,
“Lady Kycilia was here.”
“Huh, really?!”
“That was a lie.”
Garma breathed a sigh of relief.
“You’re not very personable, you know that?”
“Is that so?”
Upon saying that, he lowered his voice a little.
“I have brandy. Want a drink?”
“Why do you have that?!”
“Why… We students can’t simply ask for a drink, can we?”
“Ha…! You’re a real piece of work, and you’ve only been here two days…”
“So you’ll drink?”
Saying that, Char pressed his mouth against the bottle of brandy and took a sip. He moved the bottle to Garma’s mouth before he had time to ask any questions.
“Char, Char what are you…”
Garma choked at the sudden strong drink.
“Was it bitter? Or… sweet?”
“Gah, what taste…? Ugh…”
“You didn’t get it? Then this time you should thoroughly taste it.”
Char held the nape of Garma’s neck with his left hand, placed his right hand on his chin, pulled his face up slightly, and placed his own lips on his, pouring the drink into his mouth again. Garma thought it was cold the moment their lips touched, but it was slightly warmer as it flowed in. He gulped it down without knowing why.
Char backed away from Garma, watching his reaction. Garma felt his blood pumping faster than ever before and his cheeks flushed. His heart was beating so loud and fast he wondered if Char, seated beside him, could hear it.
Garma finally opened his mouth.
“Why are you doing this…”
“Did you not like it?”
Char immediately said. Had it been anyone else, Garma would have replied “of course not”. However, this was different.
“Garma, I thought you of all people would accept it. I apologize if you didn’t like it.”
“That’s not it!”
Why he had said this was baffling even to himself.
“It’s not that… it’s just, very sudden… I mean, it’s…but…”
At some point, he became confused and didn’t know what he was saying. Then Char silently put his hand on Garma’s shoulder and slowly pushed him down, putting his weight on him. With the momentum, the bed sank deeply then bounced back halfway.
Since Garma had been resting, he was only in his dress shirt. Char unbuttoned the second button and pressed his lips along the bone. Meanwhile, his left hand caressed Garma’s soft purple hair, and his right hand slowly stretched down his lower body. Garma could only tremble.
Char unbuttoned his shirt one by one, and the kisses followed as he did so. He unzipped his pants, put his right hand between the bed and Garma’s body, and removed them. He removed the shirt as well and put it on the side table.
He put his arms around Garma, raised his fingers to grasp his shoulder blades, and hugged him close. The clasp of Char’s uniform touched Garma’s bare chest, and he felt a chill.
Garma still couldn’t speak. Moments later, Char’s right hand broke from the embrace and reached for Garma’s crotch. When his middle finger touched it…
“Ah…”
Garma finally let out a voice. Without hesitation, Char held it between his middle and index fingers and began to move them slowly and fully.
“Ch…ar…p…people…ah…people are coming…”
“Would you be satisfied if I said the door was locked?”
In response, Char wriggled the tip with his other fingers.
“Please…stop…no more…”
By this point, Garma was already breathing heavily, hugging Char with both hands. After doing this for several minutes, Char moved to the foot of the bed. Then he put his left hand on Garma’s stomach and right hand on his knee, and put it in his mouth.
“Aah!”
Garma raised his voice and winced, but Char pressed his arched back against the bed again and continued. He entangled his tongue, slowly moving it around, then bit down lightly again. Garma put his right hand on Char’s head, and his left hand was gripping the sheets. His hands gradually became sweaty, and the sheets became tender. After taking a breath, Char sucked, sometimes harder, sometimes softer.
“Aah….ah!”
It was quite a scream. Char was somewhat worried that people might come, but there was no sign of them, so he continued.
“S, stop Char, no more…”
The sheets wrinkled quite extensively, and the bed creaked where the screws were loose.
“I guess it’s about time…”
Muttering this, Char put Garma face down and bent his knees. Then he parted his legs and gently put it in, taking into account that it was his first time. Still, Garma couldn’t bear it and let out a desperate cry. The creaking of the bed became even worse, and the artificial roses decorating the shelf above them fell down.
“You look good, Garma. Purple hair, red roses.”
Char put one in Garma’s hair. Then he wrapped his hands around Garma’s sides, rubbing there and going deeper.
When the matter was over, Garma was exhausted.
“You’re such a helpless boy…”
Char stroked Garma’s head to make sure he was unconscious, then said.
“Garma, you said you don’t mix public affairs and friendship, but what if this is more than friendship…”
