The End of Excel Saga (in Japan)

[Lord Il]

At one time we did have a scanlation group for Holy Brownie here. I think it was fronted by E-E. I can't remember how far they got with it.

But that was a long time ago.

I only gotta know one thing:

What was the last thing Lord Il said? Never imagined he'd get the last word in all this!

To answer your question:

Excel: Heil Il Palazzo!

Il Palazzo: Shall we go, Excel-kun?

Excel: Yes! Wherever you wish!

Il Palazzo: Together...

No, seriously. That's actually what he's saying.

And that's the happy manga ending, not the one in the magazine right?

Correct. The one in the magazine was less sappy and more silly.

[Duomaxwe]

I can't read Japanese, and I don't know what happens until the end, and even though it was a spoiler for me, I couldn't help but look at that ending.

And I didn't think too much of it the first time I looked, but when I looked again today it made me feel a bit emotional, I'd really love to be able to read the whole thing properly.

I found this is the final page in Holy Brownie, and luckily they wrote it in English, read what it says and comments?

Rikdo is seriously a crazy guy. At least there's a happy ending. Just judging by that one panel, its even reminiscent of the happyish ending from the 25th episode of the anime.

Hmm... What is this?

^ No idea but I like the look of it.

[Sean Gaffney]

I suspect it's one of his doujinshis that he does on and off based on his own series.  He usually sells them at Comicket or the like.

Sweet! Let's try figuring out what it is.

(Kinda like going on a scavenger hunt for info. lol!)

[Lord Il]

A follow-up..
I've also noticed he has a 2012 calander available. Appears to be a single sheet which looks like a poster style. The writing is tiny, but I can see COMIC MARKET wrote on the lower left corner of it. I'm now going with Sean Gaffney's theory that stuff like this is being sold at Comiket. I suspect this would be very difficult to get.

Winter Comiket is only mere days away - December 29-31.
Here's the official English page of Comiket..

And here's the official Japanese page (which has a lot more info)..

(These loaded really slow for me.)


Anyone want to go and bring us back some loot?

Edit: I hate online translators but used one anyways to at least find out about the calendar on Rikdou's site. I believe it's printed on a B4 paper(?) which is not very big (250mm x 353mm or 10.1 x 14.3 inch). Calanders are very limited. First-come first-serve basis. "... please ahead of time!"

[Lord Il]

^Looks like that calendar and commemorative book went for 3800 JPY (just a little over 49 USD).

I'm currently browsing online auctions at the moment for Comiket 81 material. There's Touhou Project doujins as far as the eye can see. O_o


Edit: I'm not a major fan of Touhou but some of these doujins have fantastic artwork.
