To celebrate saitom being FAKKU's Guest of Honor for Anime Expo 2016, we've released a special edition box collecting some of saitom’s best doujin releases. Collecting UnisiS 1, UnisiS 2, UnisiS 2.1, UnisiS 3, Wrapping 1, and Wrapping 2, this is a must-have collection for saitom fans!
A Set of Colorful Illustrations That Don’t Disappoint!
The Saitom Box contains 6 short doujin booklets (or chapters) of various unreleased illustrations and short stories that mostly revolve around vanilla relations and some group action. The first 4 stories of UnisiS vary in quality, with UnisiS 1 and 2.1 being a rough illustration and a sort of outline respectively while UnisiS 2 is fully illustrated and well done and UnisiS 3 is what you’d expect from a typical doujin in terms of quality. All feature (mostly) vanilla love between two characters, except for 2.1. Both wrapping contain some illustrated stories of love between 2-3 people as well as fully-illustrated drawings that did not fit anywhere else. Overall, I personally felt that the box set was decently priced and was very fascinating if you are interested in Saitom’s work, but may not be worth the price if you have never seen Saitom’s work or are simply curious about the author. As a side note, wrapping 1 had an odd typo in the physical edition that repeated Natsumi’s name and dialogue for 2-character introductions despite the digital edition not doing so, so that was a little weird. All in all, I felt it was a great value for the money and highly recommend it!
I received this collection in a neat and prestige matte finished box. After perusing the digital copy, I wasn’t sure what differences there may be with the physical, but everything down to the quality of the page made the physical copy worth it. Obviously the colored pages were my favorite, so fortunately almost every issue had starter color pages, and I some cases the entire booklet. I suppose the digital is good too, but I’m old school and enjoy reading physical copies still (not to mention the digital was a little confusing figuring out which order it was intended, since they’re all combined in one file). Considering the quality of content from Saitom, I can’t think of a better collectors edition to purchase. Also the cover art is worth it in itself (“Miku” from the cover art is conveniently my favorite story as well).
The AX editions that I got along with the autographs are much bigger and the cover has a special material making it have some friction, shine, and more unique. I got me a 2nd physical copy in hopes to get a box cover due to the shortage at AX but i found out that the AX prints and the reprints are different size, the reprints being smaller. No bigs, I have me the special editions to be kept away and the current reprint editions! Saitom works are still very good and i got me a box cover so alls well ends well
really greatful for the reprint of this box, hasnt shipped yet but when I get it my doujinshi box collection will be complete. Aside from that really great art, happy to own it.
Hmm...A reprint is coming out. That's great news bc this compilation deserved a finished touch. Even it its current state, this was by far the best Saitom material I purchased.
This guy designed the main cast for Xenoblade 2 including one of my favourite characters from that game, who I've been using as an avatar for the best part of a year now.
Really hate that there was a limited supply of these. The few who were able to get the box are lucky, but we may never get another chance to get the box.;(
Limited editions are common in manga/anime. Large print editions and all that. However it seems that artists are becoming more and more aware that they have a global audience willing to pay for hentai. So who knows if something like a pre order print could work.
I still consider it a luxury to "read" works like this without mosaics.
For some reason I can't reply to your other comment, but if you buy the physical and email them with both order numbers they'll refund you the digital price.
