the Utsusemi of Love 3-2-1

[Jei]

It's not mine, first of all. It's a japanese comic called 恋の空蝉 ３　２　１. It's a comic published by Famitsu, selling for 1200 yen I think.

It's about a mithra ninja who fell in love with an elvaan PLD @w@; The author himself posted parts of his first 5 chaptors here.

Like the artwork. =O It DOES seem to be interesting - too bad you can't understand a damn thing...

[Taskmage]

Yeah, same .. artwork looks great, flipped through and some of the characters seem like they'd be fun, but ... too bad I can't read Japanese. The plushie version of utsusemi is cute.

Nice! :thumbsup:

Now if only someone would be so kinda as to translate, there'd be much love on these boards! :biggrin:

I can read [most of] the letters [no kanji!]... but I have no clue what they mean O.o

[Shinoe]

Interesting read. I'll have to find time to post a translation of it up here one day, or on my blog. work calls, {Time for work}!~

PS - if you like this, there are also a few, albeit rare, manga for FFXI out there, but they go by different names and lack a continuing storyline. Mostly short stories, about various things. The first one i ever picked up was 3 months after i started playing in 2002/3, which showcased a party in the dunes...of all places. lol. they made it seem so lighthearted.

A Ninja and a Paladin working together in harmony?! Impossible.

Awesome artwork. I thought it was an h-doujin though XD

Boy1: He fell asleep again...
Teacher: Right! I've got a transfer student to introduce.
Mithra: I'm Rupa Dai from Windurst.
Class: Woooa she's cute! She's got kitty ears!
Boy: What job do you use?
Rupa: I came to Bastok to study Ninjutsu and (can't make this out)
Girl: I don't care...
Elvaan (looking at Rupa): huh?
Teacher: Hey! You're late again!
Elvaan: Shut up, I was helping out at my mum's store.
Girl: Hey, what's with that look between you and the country girl?
Elvaan: Shut up, how the hell should I know?
