Doujinshi I Own

View Doujinshi Scans from "Party"				Doujinshi Scans from Petit Meteor ~ Coming Soon!

Hi there! This is the page where I tell you what doujinshi I own. Since I have a scanner now, you can see the covers! Aren't they pretty? ^_^ I'll also tell you where I got the dj (if I can remember!) as well as how much Rydia is in them. If you want more information on any of these, just let me know what you'd like to know, and I'll try to provide you with the information.

Also, please understand that I have no idea how to read Japanese, so sometimes I may be wrong or confused about what happens in a particular dj, so just bear with me ... and if you know Japanese, and would like to translate, drop me a line and we can work something out. ^_^

If you want to understand what everything means, you might want to read the Doujinshi Legend/Glossary/FAQ first, so that you understand the way I rate the doujnshi here.

Watch out for more doujinshi I own soon! I have several more FF4 doujinshi currently in shipping that will be here soon, so be sure to come back and check for updates! ^_^

Without further ado, the Final Fantasy 4 doujinshi I currently have in my collection (I'll add more once I get more!)

Final Fantasy 4 Doujinshi

Title Dragon Horseman Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Kain (main), Cecil, Rosa, Palom & Porom, Edge, Rydia, Other Circle ? Size/Pages A5/? Published ? Category Mostly Normal, some soft hentai/yaoi (mild nudity) Quality EXCELLENT Art, EXCELLENT Story Condition B+ This dj is in excellent condition; the only problem is some marking/soiling on the cover Synopsis Contains several different stories that seem to be connected; two short novelized stories (the first one has some yaoi illustrations involving Kain and I think either Cecil or Golbez) and two long, manga-style stories. The first manga-style story seems to be about the Kain, Cecil and Rosa love triangle, but I'm not sure exactly what's going on. There appears to be the implication that Kain and Rosa slept together, but I'm not 100% sure on this. Based on the illustrations throughout the first novelized story, it seems to be about Kain's relationsihp with another man--I think it's either Cecil or Golbez, but again, I'm not completely sure. The second manga-style story is the longest story in the dj, and it is an EXCELLENT story, with lots of plot and great art. It takes place after the game, and Cecil and Rosa have a child who's looks about 6 or 7 (I'm not sure, but the child *might* actually be Kain's child by Rosa, if he did sleep with her in the first story. I'm just not clear on this) and Kain comes and takes the child out camping. They spend some time together, and meanwhile a dark force appears to be brewing somewhere else in the world. Years later, the young child is not a grown teenager, who obviously idolizes Kain. Then, a dark force shows up and a long, bloody battle ensues, and a grown-up Palom and Porom, as well as Edge and Rydia, show up to help fight the foe. The ending is very shocking and dramatic, but I don't want to give it away!! ^_^' If you want to know what happens then email me and I'll tell you privately. Extra Comments I really want to scan this one, because it is VERY good, especially in terms of artwork and the deep story, although Rydia's appearance is a small one (it definitely seems, though, that she and Edge are a couple, since they show up together and act very close to one another! ^_^) I won this doujinshi through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Pandemonium (?) Series Final Fantasy (multi-series, 1-6) Characters All/Multi Circle Fleecy Clouds Size/Pages A5 (smallsize) / 34 (pages #’d left to right, unlike most Japanese books where you read right-to-left) Published 1/22/95 Category Information Book (see synopsis) Quality Good Art, N/A Story – although if you can read Japanese, it might make some sense to you (I think it’s info on the games, or something like that) Condition A/A- This is in excellent condition, no stains, tears, dogears or anything! The only problem is a very slight, barely noticeable crease along the spine Synopsis I’m not sure if this classifies as a doujinshi or not, since it seems to be more of an information book. But since I can’t read Japanese, I can’t tell for sure. It’s mostly text with some small character portraits sprinkled in. The text is in ‘bullet’ form, paragraphs set off by little bullets. Also, “FF#” the names of the games 1-6 are scattered throughout the text, which makes me assume that this book is indeed information. Another interesting thing about this book is that the pages are numbered from left to right, in the ‘normal’ American style, as opposed to the common doujinshi style of right-to-left. This also makes me think that this couldn’t possibly be a doujinshi, since it is read the wrong way. Extra Comments This book is unique from the others in my possession, and I would really love to have it translated so that I could know the truth about it once and for all! It’s not my top priority for scanning, but I will probably scan it eventually so I can get someone to translate it. Then, depending on what I discover, I might want to sell it … we’ll see! I won it through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Somewhere in the World Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters All (Esp. Cecil, Rosa, Kain, Rydia, Edge) Circle FDC Size/Pages A5/82 Published 2/11/1993 Category Gag humor Quality Very Good Art, EXCELLENT Story Condition A+ Perfect condition! Plus, this doujinshi has a special glossy/textured cover which is really nice Synopsis A HILARIOUS gag doujin! It’s composed of tons of little stories, and even if you have no idea what they’re saying, it’s still laugh-out-loud funny! Since there are far too many stories to name, I’ll just point out a few highlights. In the very beginning is a hilarious 3-page story in which Yang is out cold in the Sylph cave. Since no one knows how to wake him, Rydia and Rosa get up and start prancing around (with lots of cute lil hearts in the background!) and suddenly Yang wakes up! ^_^ Another great moment is when Cecil, Rydia and Tellah stop for the night in a cave. While little Rydia’s asleep, Dark Knight Cecil rams his sword through Tellah’s head! ^^;; Somehow, the wizard remains unharmed … There are also several great humorous little Rydia/Edge moments. My favorite occurs when the gang is staying in Toroia (the city of women!) and while the girls watch the view from their room at the inn, the boys decide to go to the pub for a little fun! They end up going downstairs … and suddenly are covered by swarms of scantily clad women! Edge, for his part, is really enjoying this … until a wickedly jealous Rydia, backed by a steaming Rosa, shows up! Let’s just say that the end of the story finds Edge a little … shall we say … singed! ^_^;; One four-panel story (which is so cute!) has Edge grabbing Rydia’s breasts (the nerve!) and Rydia smacking him around. She sure packs a wallop for such a petite person! ^_^ There are so many other wonderful stories, involving all the characters. The art is a little weird though; sometimes it’s absolutely gorgeous, but much of the time the characters are drawn munchkin style, which is perfect for gag humor but not that great to look at. But the plethora of hilarious moments (and the amount in which Rydia shows up! ^_^) make this a really great, entertaining doujinshi. Extra Comments I would really love to scan this dj! Well, not the whole thing, but some of the funnier parts. I hope I didn’t spoil you too much in the synopsis! ^_~ Because this dj is just so funny, even though I can’t understand what they’re saying, I still find myself laughing out loud at much of the humor. I won this item through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Samba de Chocobo Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Cecil, Rosa, Kain, Rydia, Edge main; Others Circle FDC Size/Pages A5/18 Published 1/15/1992 Category Normal, gag humor Quality Very Good Art, Very Good Story Condition A/A- There’s some very slight creasing along the edges and binding Synopsis This book isn’t as long or as funny as Somewhere in the World, but it’s still pretty cute. Munchkin art (mostly) and several four-panel gag stories. There’s also a little story where they’re trying to find Namingway. Some cute stuff involving Rydia. ^_^ Extra Comments If I have time, I’d like to scan this dj. It’s pretty cute, and very short! ^_^ Some cute lil chocobo skits that are pretty funny. Rydia also has a large role in this dj, which doesn’t hurt! ^_~ I won this through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. View scans of this doujinshi! Title Petit Meteor Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters All (esp. Rydia, Edge, Kain, Cecil, Rosa, Palom & Porom) Circle Abiho & PSY-WONDER Size/Pages B5/50 Published 8/15/1992 Category Normal, plenty of gag humor, some serious, some romance, a little bit of everything Quality Great Art, EXCELLENT Story Condition B Some slight wear and tear to the cover, a little creasing, only superficial stuff and nothing that impacts readability whatsoever. Synopsis One word to describe this doujinshi: Cute! ^_^ It’s abso-frickin-lutely ADORABLE!! Seriously. It consists of a whole bunch of short, cute stories, involving all the characters except FuSoYa. The art is very well done in a cute but non-munchkin style. There are some pics of Edge looking VERY sexy! ^_^ Rydia tends to have a bit too much cleavage, though! I just want to hand her a blanket so that she can cover up! ^^; Anywho, on to the story! Naturally, since the title is Petit Meteor, I thought this would be all about Rydia. Well, it’s not ALL about her, but a decent amount of stories include her, as well as some non-story art (such as Rydia riding a chocobo). There’s even a gorgeous pic of her on the title page! Already we’re off to a good start. ^_~ The contents page, btw, lists 21 items. That’s a lot! Since there are so many stories, and I’m lazy, I’ll just list the highlights. The first story, which is about 4 or 5 pages long, includes a panel where Edge looks DEAD SEXY! I mean it, I just kind of melt when I look at that panel! *_* But then he gets yelled at by Rydia and you can tell that he is SOOO whipped! The next really good story is a 2-pager where it looks like Edge is trying to confess his feelings for our favorite heroine … and she whips out a new boyfriend who’s everything that Eblan’s prince is not! ^^; This one is cute, AND funny, and you get to see Rydia give Edge a cute lil kissy kiss! (“Chu!”) ^_^ Remember that dancing ‘girl’ from Fabul castle? You know the one I’m talking about! Cecil and Edge run in to ‘her.’ Heh! ^_~ The longest story is 10 pages and actually quite serious and kinda touching. It involves Cecil (in full dark knight getup and with … black … hair? o_O) and Porom looking for Palom, who decided to hide from them. Much of the dialogue seems to consist of Palom and Porom’s names. But what starts out as a simple search soon turns more dangerous, as Cecil has to save Palom from a bunch of monsters that come out of nowhere! This story is really great and kind of sweet, and shows that even as a dark knight, Cecil was a pretty good guy. ^_~ Although, if this story is correct, it would seem that his hair color also changed when he became a paladin. o_O; Also, I just have to add this. After all the stories are done and there are the information pages, there’s one page that appears to be like a ranking of the most popular characters, or something. I’m not sure if the artist(s) polled people about their favorite character or what, but just in case, I’ll provide the results (although when I get a scanner, I’ll just scan the page in and take this part out. ^_~). The numbers are the ones given in the doujinshi, my guess is that it’s the number of votes, but I’m not completely sure about that. Edge (56) Kain (55) Rydia (49) Cecil (24) Porom(16) Palom (12) Golbez (10) Cid (5) Yang (4) Gilbert/Edward (3) Yang’s Wife (2) I hope you appreciated that, because it took a LOT of translational work on my part! >_< Heh, my katakana is so bad … I have to piece together the name and then translate it (because not all of them have pictures). The hardest one was Edward … I was thinking to myself, “Who is Gi ri bo to?” And then I realized, “Oh, that’s GILBERT! And that’s the Japanese name for Edward!” Heh. …I need a translator so badly, it hurts! ;_; What disturbs me the most, though, is that Yang’s Wife got two votes, and Rosa’s not even on there … O_O; Extra Comments I REALLY REALLY want to scan in at least part of this dj, because it’s just so awesome! The pictures of Rydia are beautiful, and I really really like the art … and that picture of Edge looking so smug and handsome makes me just want to jump his bones! ^_^; Then again, that’s just me … Translating this one is a MUST. If you know Japanese, please donate your translating services to a good cause! Or else I’m going to have to go out and pay for some translation … which can get expensive depending on where you go! I won this doujinshi through Celga on Rakuten Furima. Title Ni O Ke Ru (rough translation from Hiraga; may not be correct) Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Cecil, Kain, Golbez Circle Sanada Sisters Size/Pages B5/50 Published 1/1/1991 (?) Category Normal, shonen ai, Serious subject matter Quality Good Art, Good Story Condition B+ It’s in very good condition, a few minor creases, not much Synopsis This is a shonen ai doujinshi involving Cecil and Kain, but Golbez is in there, too! My big problem with the art is that everybody just looks so young, like they’re only 15 or something instead of 20. Anywho, there are a few long stories in this. I’m not always sure exactly what’s going on … Golbez and Cecil, when not decked out in their armor, always look alike to me! (For obvious reasons ^_~) So I have to rely on the characters saying each others’ names … which they really don’t do that much in this dj. But from what I gather, one of the stories has Golbez (who is looking VERY hot in this dj, btw!) forcing Kain to reminisce about his childhood with Cecil. This one takes place while Kain’s still a badguy, and Valvalis, the wind element chick, shows up at one point. Other stories involve Kain and Cecil and some random stuff that I totally do not understand. But that’s ok! As for the shonen ai part, it’s drawn very much in a shonen ai style, but there’s really only one picture where the boys are ALMOST kissing (and that’s on the comment page, not even in any of the stories), so shonen ai fans might be a little disappointed with this one. I liked it ok, but the story’s a little hard to follow if you don’t understand Japanese. As a bonus, there’s a picture of Rydia on one of the free talk pages! ^_^ It’s not really that great a pic, but it’s kinda cute. Extra Comments This is one of those cases where I think you can either take it, or leave it. It’s good, I don’t hate it, but it’s not exactly my favorite dj in the world, especially in terms of art (I’m not a big fan of the shonen-ai/yaoi drawing style), and the story is a little weird. If you really like Cain/Cecil, though, this one’s for you! I’ll probably end up selling or trading this one. If you’re interested, email me with an offer. ^_~ I won this doujinshi through Celga on Rakuten Furima.

Title FF Loves Series Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6 Characters Rydia (FF4), Kara (FF5), Relm (FF6) main; Various other characters from all three games show up {Notably: Edge, Kain, Cecil, Palom and Porom (FF4); Butz, Faris, Lenna, Galuf (FF5); Edgar, Terra, Celes, Locke (FF6)} Circle Blues Pieter (?) Size/Pages B5/58 Published 8/4/96 Category Humor, Romance (multiple couples, including Rydia/Edge! ^_^), Crossover Quality Great Art, EXCELLENT Story Condition A-/B+ Excellent condition, some very slight dog-earring on the covers, but that’s it Synopsis Where do I start? As you can probably tell from the title, this is a book about Final Fantasy couples! ^_^ It doesn’t revolve around Rydia/Edge, but they do have a few lovely moments in this dj that I really enjoy! The whole thing isn’t just one long story; there are a lot of shorter stories that I think are all connected, in which the characters from the various Final Fantasy worlds socialize with one another – especially Rydia, Kara, and Relm, who become fast friends and get the special honor of being on the cover, looking very cute if I do say so myself! ^_^ There’s also a little section in the middle of the book that has several pages of little boxes with mini-depictions of various characters and couples, although there is only one with Rydia/Edge, and one for each of them alone. There are also several two-three page stories involving the intermingling of the characters. What I’m going to focus on here, however, are the Rydia/Edge moments. Please forgive me if I ramble—I’m a bit obsessed with this couple! ^_^ The first Rydia/Edge moment is one to remember. There’s a large picture of Edge jumping or something, and then he lands in a puddle of water and is waving at Rydia, trying to get her attention … She’s just turned away from him, thinking something like, “What is wrong with this guy?!” Heh, it’s a very funny scene! The next Rydia/Edge story is a two-page mini-story that takes place at a party or something … Edge totally breaks down when he overhears Rydia talking to someone else. It’s really funny, he ends up going out and getting drunk! I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with his age, since there’s a lil bit of text over his head containing the number “26,” and officially he is 26 years old (although he certainly don’t act like it!), so maybe Rydia’s saying she likes younger guys … or something. Heh. I don’t know, but it sure is funny watching Edge get drunk! ^_^ The next one is only one page long, but it’s HILARIOUS!! There are three panels; the first has a nicely drawn picture of Edge and some text. The second panel shows Rydia smiling at him and saying something to him. The third panel is absolutely hilarious; apparently Rydia said something nice, because Edge is now frolicking—yes, I said frolicking—amidst hearts, flowers, and lots of sunshine. It’s just too good … The last story involving these two (sniff!) is at the very end … The clock chimes, and I guess that means it’s time to go! Rydia has been hanging out with Kara and Relm, and it turns out that Relm sketched a picture of Rydia and Edge! (She also did a picture of Kara and Mid, but who cares about them? ^_~) There’s a little panel with Edge trying to look over Rydia’s shoulder and see what she’s holding, and Rydia trying to keep it away from him, that’s kinda cute and funny. And then that’s the end of this wonderful, humorous and romantic book! Extra Comments Ooooh … you know I REALLY want to scan this one! Well, probably just the Rydia/Edge parts, not the whole thing. This is one of my favorite Final Fantasy doujinshi, because I just LOVE all the Rydia/Edge scenes, and although the drawing style isn’t the best, it’s very cute, and I love all the cute little Rydia/Edge stories! ^_^ I won this doujinshi through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Lucifer Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Cain & Cecil Only Circle N/A Size/Pages B5/18 Published 12/30/95 Category Soft/Medium Yaoi Quality Good Art, Poor Story Condition C+ The condition is ok, but it’s a little beat up and a rather low-quality doujinshi (held together by staples, etc) Synopsis Eh, I’m not a big fan of yaoi … and I never really saw a basis for the whole Kain/Cecil thing … I mean, Cecil’s sleeping with Rosa (they strongly hint at it in the game), and Kain wants Rosa (something else that’s pretty obvious from the game), so I really don’t think that Kain and Cecil would ever actually get together … Kain and Golbez, though, I have a little soft spot for. ^_~ But I like Cecil with Rosa, so I don’t really like him with anyone else … including Kain. That said, this story seems to me (as one not able to understand Japanese and what is being said) to be PWP yaoi … basically, it looks like Cecil (who is looking very effeminate in this dj) is remembering having sex with Kain … and then Kain shows up and there’s a cliffhanger ending! As I’ve said before, I’m really not a big fan of yaoi, unless it’s part of a story with a really good plot, and Lucifer is really just PWP yaoi—so if you like that thing, and are a Cecil/Cain fan, then this is your book! ^_~ It’s on some nice, glossy paper, too … although it is put together a little weird (staples!) Extra Comments I don’t really like this one, it’s probably my least favorite of the Final Fantasy doujinshi that I own, so I’m probably just going to sell it … if you like yaoi, though, you might really like this. It has high-quality, glossy paper, a story that might be better if you understand Japanese (and thus know what’s going on—the story is bracketed by a page of text on either side, so I’m sure I’m missing a lot!), and some decent art (although Cecil is drawn a little to effeminate for my taste). If you’re interesting in buying or trading for this doujinshi, send me an email and we’ll negotiate. ^_^ I won this doujinshi through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Songs Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Rydia Main; Others Circle Isis (?) Size/Pages B5/20 Published 11/23/2001 Category Normal, serious Quality Good Art, Very Good Story Condition A/A- Some very slight, barely noticeable bending and creasing on the edges of the cover Synopsis Finally, my first Rydia focused doujinshi! ^_^ Unfortunately, the quality of this doujinshi really isn’t all that great. The story is a little confusing and hard to follow—I’m not sure if there’s just one story, or more! The sentiment of the story is wonderful, though, because it deals with Rydia’s memories of her mother, and her mother’s dragon. A very touching, if short, story. The art is ok, Rydia’s mother is drawn very nicely, but the art here is just really not my style. It’s sort-of shoujo-ish, I think, but I just don’t really like it all that much, personally. Since it is currently the only Rydia focused doujinshi I own, however, I’m keeping it until I can get something better. ^_~ Extra Comments Since this is the only Rydia focused doujinshi I own, well, of course I have to scan it! If I do I’d probably scan the whole thing, since it’s so short and otherwise the story wouldn’t really make any sense, would it? ^_~ I won this through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Secret De Moon Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters N/A (See Synopsis) Circle Isis (?) Size/Pages B5/24 Published 5/3/2002 Category Normal, serious Quality Very Good Art, N/A Story (See Synopsis) Condition A+ Perfect Condition! Also, this doujinshi has a special high-quality cover and 4 colored pages. Synopsis Okay, I’m a bit confused by this particular dj. I know that it’s by the same circle as Songs (I think the circle’s name is Isis, but I’m not 100% sure), and I’m pretty sure there’s only one story here. However … I’m not exactly sure what’s going on. Actually, I think I know what’s going on, but unless I get this translated, I won’t know for sure. The main story starts out on the moon, with FuSoYa and another Lunarian. Here’s where the confusion comes in—I don’t know exactly what’s going on. However, here’s my version of what I think is happening (Contains Spoilers!). I think the other man with FuSoYa is his younger brother, KluYa (who’s pretty hot! ^_^). And I think what’s going on is that KluYa is now going down to the blue planet in the big whale, or something like that. So, he and FuSoYa talk for a bit about some stuff, and then the scene switches. Now we’re with a girl on the blue planet who’s hanging around with some old woman, probably her mother or grandmother. For some reason, she leaves their little house. Meanwhile, KluYa is wandering around and gets attacked by a nasty bird! (I think it’s one of those big purple birds that hang around Mysidia) So he ends up injured, lying on the ground. But as the bird swoops down for the kill, who should appear to save our hero but the selfsame girl that we just saw? KluYa and the girl look at each other … and on the next page, they’re together! ^_^ So basically what I’m trying to say is that I think this dj is about Cecil’s parents getting together. I’m not completely sure on that, but that’s definitely what it seems like to me! Extra Comments I really want to get this one translated. I have to know what’s going on! I have a hunch that it’s about KluYa, but I’d really like to know for sure. So you can expect scans of this one as soon as I have a scanner, because I really really really want to get this translated! Also, on a little side note, I have a hunch that “Secret De Moon” is actually supposed to be a fancy way of saying “Secret of the Moon,” because ‘de’ is ‘of’ in French, and there’s a page that has some text in French (“A quoi penses tu?”) about halfway through the dj. I won this through Doujin Box on Yahoo! Japan. Title Judge Series Final Fantasy 4 Characters Cain x Edge (o_O;;;;;;;;) Circle Damage Club/Sonoko Niwa Size/Pages A5/56 Published ?/?/???? Category Mature, some soft/mild yaoi, serious subject matter Quality Very Good Art, Good Story Condition C Not in good condition at all. The cover is beat up and scratched up, and it’s just in general not-good condition. Synopsis Even though there’s really no blatant sex scenes or anything, I tend to think of this dj as more ‘yaoi’ than ‘shonen ai.’ It’s not because of the nudity or sexual situations or anything, it’s more just the style of it is definitely more mature than your typical ‘shonen ai’ relationship. Anywho, surprisingly enough, Rydia does make an appearance in this dj! In her one-page cameo, she walks in on Edge and Kain (in a compromising position? It doesn’t look like it, but her reaction makes it seem so) and totally freaks out. Then Edge says something to her (I think it involves something about her and Rosa being lovers? o_O;) and she runs out, leaving the two lovebirds alone. The story’s not that great, kind of confusing and convoluted … I don’t really know what all’s going on! As for the art, it’s ok, but again, it’s in that yaoi style that I really just don’t like, where the men are kind of tall and willowy, and look very effeminate. I just really don’t like that style! But if you like odd yaoi couples, and you’re tired of always seeing Cain x Cecil everywhere you go, this dj might be good for you. ^_~ Also, a very tiny portion (about 3~5 pages) of this dj is novelization. The rest is manga-style. Extra Comments I’m not gonna lie to you. First off, I’m really just not a big fan of yaoi. Secondly, I’m a ‘couples’ persona, and when I like a certain couple, I really don’t like to see either of the characters with another person (although I tend to be a little more lenient to female infidelity, for some reason). I like Rydia x Edge, so pairing him up with Kain, although a mind-boggling story that is very controversial and somewhat surprising, just isn’t my cup of tea. The only page I really want to scan is Rydia’s cameo, so there’s really not must interest that I have in it. I’d like to sell or trade this one. It’s really interesting in both concept and execution, but it’s just not my thing. If you like ‘different’ stuff, or find the odd couple Cain x Edge intriguing, then email me with an offer to buy or trade. ^_^ Quick Note: As you can see from the cover (once I’ve scanned it, that is ~_~), although the title of this doujinshi is ‘Judge,’ there is also a lot of text on both the front and back covers! On the front cover, there’s “Cain x Edge,” “They Didn’t Have to Give Up Harmony to Do Their Own Thing.” and “Love and Death Dancing in Tandem.” On the back is “Blood & Sex,” “Messiah,” and “Judgment Day.” I have no idea what any of it means! ^^;; I won this doujinshi through Celga on Rakuten Furima. View scans of this doujinshi! Title Party Series Final Fantasy 4/Romancing SaGa (Non-Crossover) Characters FF4: Rydia, Edge, Kain, Cecil, Rosa, Others; Romancing SaGa:N/A Circle Hiroko Matsumoto (Artist) Size/Pages B5/46 Published 12/30/92 Category Normal, mostly gag humor Quality Very Good Art, Very Good Story Condition B It’s not the best of conditions, it’s not the worst of conditions. But it’s generally ok except for some minor imperfections on the cover Synopsis I’m going to ignore the Ro-SUCK-ing SaGa, which takes up the majority of this doujinshi while FF4 is relegated to the back cover and just over 10 pages of actual stories. Rydia does play a pretty big role in the FF4 section, though, so that mollifies me a little. Rydia first appears in a four-panel story where she basically keeps getting sweatier and sweatier. Then she appears on the opposite page in a two-panel story that makes absolutely no sense to me. Then later on, she’s in a longer story! ^_^ It’s a three page story that has her first consulting with Leviathan and Asura, and then saving the party from Golbez’s snake thing. Then there’s a one-page story on the opposite page about Rydia and Edge. And that’s about it for the FF4 section. ~_~ Extra Comments I feel really cheated that FF4 made such a tiny appearance in this book! The art’s not that great, either (it’s ok, but not really my taste … I’m very picky where art is concerned! ^^;) But the Rydia stories are cute, I guess. I don’t know, all I’d want to scan of this one are the parts with Rydia (and the Free Talk art of Rubicant and Valvalis, which is probably the best-drawn picture in the whole dj! -_-;). After that, I’d just want to sell or trade it or something. If you’re a fan of the Romancing SaGa, you might want to pick this one up. If not, I’d say don’t bother. There’s just not enough FF4 in here for me. I won this doujinshi through Celga on Rakuten Furima.
