TAKERU Press and its variant TAKERUわあるど (TAKERU World) were part of a series of Japanese publications, published by Brother Industries. They were published to promote the software available via the TAKERU vending machine.
There is some uncertainty about this, as in addition to the regular TAKERU Press bimonthly editions, there were TAKERU Press club editions (all preserved issues are additionally titled TAKERU World), TAKERU Journal editions and various other publications.
Standard TAKERU Press pamphlets were laid near the Takeru machines as brochures and most of them featured the latest full Takeru catalog encompassing Takeru's machine-vended, mail order and retail titles.
TAKERU World editions were exclusively shipped to the TAKERU Club members and included their contributions such as fanarts and reviews.
Note the list below is incomplete, and very few TAKERU Press editions have been preserved online.
