The End of Excel Saga (in Japan)

^ Is there a version of that where you can see the other characters?

^If there is, I haven't seen it yet.

*applauds the bowing Excel...... and the Hyatt and Il Palazzo I can hardly see*

So, I now have a copy of this, thanks to my friend who was at Comiket and is completely awesome and fantastic.

First off, no, I'm not scanning it.  I don't need Rikdo mad at me.

We get the two 'hot springs' one-shots from YKO post-manga here, expanded greatly to serve as a 'wraparound' for the doujinshi itself.  Everyone is nude.  Including the men.  Aside from this main part, there are several 'tributes' from various artists, and also Nabeshin, who gives a page-long textual thank you.

The doujin ends with the original ending of the manga from YKO, which was rewritten for the tankobon. 

There is no explicit content in the doujinshi beyond the constant nudity you'd expect from hot springs scenes.

There was also a one-page small calendar given away, with pictures of Excel, Elgala and Hyatt, as well as two elf-eared girls who I believe are from his Deathless series which is running in Young King.

I'm so jealous...

[Sean Gaffney]

Actually, I take that back about nothing explicit.  I hadn't read closely enough.

There is a two-page scene where, um, Il Palazzo is anally screwed by Excel (who is loving it.  Il Palazzo is stoic).  It's in a different art style than the hot springs stuff and may be another artist (actually, given Il Palazzo looks almost exactly like Integra Hellsing in it, I'm morbidly thinking it might be Hirano's work).  It is part of a fantasy Elgala is having in the springs, as far as I can make out, and leads to beatings.

Now I wonder if someone in Japan was reading Uncreativity's old fanfics... >_>

Sorry for all the teasing.  ^^;;  Just trying to keep you informed.

Where can we obtain this material?

Now I'm REALLY jealous...

[Lord Il]

Absolutely hilarious!

... But yeah, I'm a bit disturbed if not somewhat amused at such a possible revelation of Hirano penciling such a scene.

Disturbing but...

oh man.... I have no words. lol!


My congrats on getting a copy, Sean! (I'm jealous as well.)

Double posting of DOoOoooOOoM! (Sorry!)

@Sean Gaffney: I respect your decision completely to not make scans.
Any chance we could see just a photo or two of the book? Nothing too fancy, just something good for reference purposes.
My recent Google image searches come up with a bunch of nothing. X_x

[Duomaxwe]

Sounds reasonable.

[Uncreativity]

I just won the commemoration book on Yahoo Auctions Japan. So now all I have to do is figure out how to pay for it, since Yahoo Japan does not seem to like my dirty gaijin credit card.

Yikes!
Perhaps this may offer some insight..?

My main problem with this is that there are very few pages not filled with nudity.  Including the loli characters (yeah, Umi is loli the whole doujin, given it's post-ending).  I'll see if I can find something non-arrest-worthy.

Perfect! And I was thinking maybe some sort of angle shot of the book's cover to give a better overall view. This could prove useful for those who want to locate a copy and know exactly what to look for. Really appreciate it if you could.
