[Archived] Japanese Rovers Romance Comic Book

[Driftpeasant]

So in Japan there is a long tradition of making fan comics, sometimes original, sometimes of existing material, that are collectively known as Doujinshi.

Twice annually in Tokyo there's a huge gathering of Doujin artists called Comiket, where thousands of artists/exhibitors and tens of thousands of fans congregate to buy, sell and trade these comics.

...and apparently there's a group making them about Rovers. More specifically about a gay romance between Robbie Savage and another player. And, of course, my friends were "kind" enough to buy me three issues.

I don't read Japanese, so I cannot presume to say how well they're written, but at least they're not hardcore (and a VAST amount of the material sold at Comiket is porn).

So, if you're brave enough, gaze upon some scans. They're safe for work, I swear.

Great animations, but that stuff just aint right! :angry:

Maybe Rovers could employ them to do an annual comic without involving any of the queer stuff

[Majiball]

:lol: :lol: That is hilarious. No doubt a Burnley version will be roughly translated as 'brotherly love'.

Perhaps it's a plant to raise our profile in the far east.

It's not a plant. There's a whole row of football doujun artists at Winter Comiket. Others seen were Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. And like one person in Man U kit. Proving once and for all that Ronaldo is already so flaming that no amount of comic book porn can make it any worse.

Damn. I would like to buy some of this stuff. Purely to collect, of course. I have a modest collection of Japanese collectibles related to anime and manga.

These fans are a bit too slim and good looking compared to what I am use to sitting with

[chocky]

They could have spelt it properly...Blackbunr Rovers....
