Did anyone here notice this on Rikdo's page?  http://www.rikudoukan.com/copyshi1.pdf

Any awesome translators out there?  :)

I skimmed that, but it's actually not all that interesting or enlightening.

For example, on the "Excel" page he's actually talking about how embarrassingly outdated some of the jokes from the early volumes are.

So has anyone actually read the final chapter now that it's out in Japan?

I've read or skimmed the remainder of the series. Did you have a question or something? You can PM me with it.

No I don't have any questions I don't want it spoiled.

I was just wondering if anyone here had had the pleasure of reading it.

Have you read Rikdo's other works? Are they good?

I've checked out a few pages from the final chapter (the ones that are in color). Kind of wish I hadn't due to spoilers, but they looked good and I know we won't get to see 'em like that in the English release.

Mebius Gear is pretty terrible. He didn't write it, though, so I'm not sure if that one counts.
Welcome to the forum, btw! :ehail: :elhail: :g_hail:

Duomaxwe

lol yeah I look around here sometimes, I just don't generally post.

But considering the final chapter is out I thought it was worth asking about.

Is the issue of YKO worth having?

Uncreativity

I wish I had it myself, for the color pages and nostalgia factor.

I would be interested in getting a copy with the final chapter just for those reasons.

Anyone know how to score a copy? I did a quick eBay check for Young King Ours and got nothing.


Edit: Almost forgot! Welcome to the forum Duomaxwe! :ehail:

Sean Gaffney

I have a copy.  I ordered it from Amazon.jp before it came out, I imagine it's not available there now.  You might try Akadot, they get a lot of manga magazines.

Duomaxwe

You could just ask someone from Japan to send you one.

The only problem is I was thinking of YKO's is heavy it might be expensive to ship.

Thanks for the welcomes as well guys.

Wat.

From October's YKO. It's NSFW, but it's not porn either. Doubt it'll be in the English version.

 :hdead:

so do not want. I don't need fanservice in this series. If I wanted pointless hanging around in a hot spring, I'd rewatch 'this Ugly yet beautiful world'


Yet I suspect this is more Rikdo doing it for himself than for the fanboys.  :il_hahaha:

It's my imagination, or is there a mention to Excel Saga 2  :elconfused:?

A cruel Rikudo's joke, I suppose  :e_confused:

[spoiler]...and Loli Umi? What the hell?[/spoiler]

Duomaxwe

Yeah that was a bonus bit in the YKO I take it?

That wasn't actually part of the manga? Btw, who scanned those images?
