Seireitei Communication (瀞霊廷通信, Seireitei Tsūshin; lit. "Court of Pure Souls Correspondence"), known otherwise as Seireitei Communication Monthly, is a monthly magazine published by members of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13. The Captaincy of the 9th Division is tied to the leadership of Seireitei Communication; the Captain is thus also the Editor-in-Chief.

Overview

The monthly magazine, that eventually became known as the Seireitei News Magazine, is printed by the Reishi Printing Company, with regular issues costing 380 Kan. Special issues tend to cost more; the coverage of the Ryoka Invasion cost 680 Kan, whilst publications featuring The Cataclysm and its companion pieces typically sell for 600 Kan. The magazine uses a subscription-based model with delivery straight to your door; the delivery is often handled by unseated officers of the 9th Division and various students of the Shinō Academy. Having people on the ground delivering is essential considering the magazine does not use Jigokuchō for delivery or gathering of survey information. Those who subscribe also receive special incentives. Subscribors where offered a sake-flavoured rice cake dessert as a gift in the special mid-summer edition.

Editing Department

The Editing Department (瀞霊廷通信編集部, Seireitei Tsūshin Henshūbu; lit. "Court of Pure Souls Correspondence Editorial Department") is located in 2-5-10 Ryūsei, District 1, Seireitei, 119-0163.

Contributors

• Kenji Hiroshi -- author of The Cataclysm, Data-book Tribulations, The Yonkō of Hakuda, Follow-up! The Four Realms Theory, and An Obituary: Kazuya Kuchiki and the Noble Art. His piece on Seireitou Kawahiru received a dreadful debut; Seireitou failed to turn up for the interview, resulting in Kenji pursuing an article with Minato Kuramoto instead. Kenji also worked alongside Rikuri Ukitake during her modelling career, and posted numerous columns and illustrations in the Seireitei News Magazine, not to mention other more specialised publications before Rikuri called time on her career.

• Van Satonaka -- author of a series of comedic shorts set in the same universe as Kenji's popular works.

• Kazuo Hanazawa -- author of the popular multi-series A Lieutenants Guide to Hearty Subordinates, which details Kazuo's love of cooking.

• Shūhei Hisagi -- author of Please Teach Me! Shūhei Sensei!! and This Hand, That Hand, The Hand Over There and Goodbye To Yesterday's Me. The former had a dreadful debut, resulting in Hisagi refusing to leave the editorial room for three days.

• Momoko -- Momoko reworked the core rule-book of Dungeons & Dragons and made it relevant to Soul Society, the Seireitei and Shinigami. Her version was advertised initially in the Seireitei News Magazine, before she moved on to sell her versions independently.

• Seia Tulia Honoria -- author of a serialised segment detailing tourist hot-spots in Rukongai, initially with terrible penmanship. The segment made a return alongside a new editor.
