Since there was a question on these in the manga thread, thought I’d dump some info on those.

There’s not much floating around anymore, frankly the old guard fans had a pretty vibrant distaste for

them not being canon… so I doubt we’re going to find scans outside of dumpster diving the old boards or finding someone that has them.

Here’s what I’ve got though:

Info:

Really awesome archived site with info on the manga, comics, videos, etc…

Another sort of catch all site, unfortunately the links died.. so the second more detailed page is

pictureless.

  I think these used to be on Tenchizone actually, but I never managed to read them before the site went kaputs. Might have just been cover scans, I don’t really remember.

  I have comple scans of all of them JG, courtesy of evilpii. If you want, and there’s no problem, I can get them to you. I can’t say that I find any real value in this mercifully short-lived series, but I suppose that they can at least make Okuda’s manga look even better by comparison!

  Oh, believe me, I’m a fan of Okuda’s work so if anything makes it look even cooler I’m down to take a look. If need be we can take this to PM.
  
  I’m usually open minded tbh so I can see myself liking this as long as it reads like fanfiction (wherein the writers understand the characters.)

  I apologize if you took my previous statement as an attack on your personal tastes or openmindedness, I assure you that isn’t what I was getting at at all! I too am an openminded person, and I approached this particular series exactly as you are now. In my opinion, however, it falls dreadfully short by all measures. It’s been a while, so I can’t say for sure if I felt that it had the feel of a fanfic as you say, but I’ll see to it that you get scans as soon as possible so you can come to your own conclusions! Check your PM’s soon and we’ll figure out how to get them to you.

  Copy me on it so I can take a look for looks sake. I once read the plot of a few of them so I know what I’m in for at least. I can always toss them up on photobucket if we have to.

  Oh, I didn’t mean to come off as defensive! Believe me, I’m not offended. Thanks for the concern though.

  Well, I went through the comics today and my reception is fairly mid-level to it. I could tell the writers were familiar with the universe, at the least. Ryoko fans, this is for you: the Ayeka bitch factor goes waaay up. She frequently refers to Ryoko as an “animal” and is just unlikeable, period. I know TU took it up a notch and that this is meant to take place in that universe, but man oh man. Jeez. That said, it did have its good parts:
  
  -The original characters all seemed like they’d fit in the TU universe. Rob and Inferno were actually kind of cool.
  
  -Everyone except Ayeka was pretty in character. Mihoshi’s ditz level might be closer to the Tokyo level, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen TU so I might be wrong on that. Loved seeing Washu’s ego.
  
  -The art, when on model, looks great. It’s obviously less manga-esque than Okuda’s, but I think it might match the anime’s style more than his. He was a big fan of large eyes and smaller proportions. That said, there’s a few times where the drawings get wonky.
  
  My biggest problem? Too short! I felt like they dealt with Inferno too quickly. I wonder how the pacing would have transferred to an episode of the anime.
  
  The verdict: worth your time, but not on the same level that NNFT is.

  I remember reading these on the Tenchi Zone site back in 2008 when I got back into Tenchi.
  
  They’re ok. Nothing special.

  I heard there was some kind of digital comic included as a special feature on Geneons OVA box set. Are there any scans of it out there?
  
  Oh, Chuck. Do you still have those scans of the US comics? I have an interest in seeing them, if only for curiosity’s sake.

  No problem Wisper! I hope you find more enjoyment in them than I did! 😆
  
  As it seems there continue to be people interested in reading these things, and until the forum’s library/archive is fully up I seem to be the “keeper of the comics,” anybody who is interested in seeing what all the fuss is about should feel free to PM me and I’ll be happy (well, maybe more like satisfied ) to hook you up. I repeat, this is only until the official forum archive is up, as I’m sure they will be included in it.
