Saigado Publishing

Saigado Comic Publishing (彩画堂) is an H dōjinshi circle created in 1996 by its sole member, Ishoku Dougen (異食同元). Prior to 1996, Dougen had works published by the Comic Circle Pink Macadamian & Moriman Shōten circles. The Saigado studio is famous for producing hentai dōjinshi that parody console fighting games such as The King of Fighters, Street Fighter and Guilty Gear, as well as anime such as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Saigado Comic Publishing also publishes the original work Boku no Seinen Kouken-nin, though most of the studio's original works such as Hana's Holiday have been published by Futabasha.

Ishoku Dougen has a distinct style with rounder, less messy, and arguably more realistically drawn characters than a lot of his source material. Despite the wide range of fetishes depicted in Saigado comics fans are often pleasantly surprised to see all participants enjoying their couplings. The lack of rape, realism in depictions of sex, body type, and even atmosphere/backgrounds make the Saigado Studio one of the pre-eminant artistic studios in dōjinshi publishing.

The Yuri & Friends
This series of dōjinshi is a parody of The King of Fighters. It features an array of stories using various characters from the video games. In the issues since 2000 these dōjinshi also feature the supporting, non-hentai, comedy comic strip ''THAT'S GREAT! Mr. BIG, featuring Mr. Big from the Art of Fighting'' video games. This issue starts the series as Mai Shiranui and King have male members which they use upon Yuri Sakazaki. The dōjinshi includes pin-ups of more Mai, Yuri and King, as well as pin-ups of Mature, Vice, Athena and Leona. This issue is bascially just a collection of pin-ups of Sie Kensou with Athena Asamiya, Kasumi Todoh and Ryo Sakazaki, Iori Yagami with Vice and Mature, and Leona with Ralf and Clark. Even though Yuri Sakazaki is on the cover of the issue, she's not featured in the issue itself. Mai Shiranui and King return, using their male members on Yuri again, except this time Chizuru Kagura joins in, also having a male member. The story ends with Ryo and Robert catching the girls in the act, and forcing Mai, King and Kagura to eat Yuri's lousy cooking. The issue also includes a mini-story of Chris and Shermie. Again, Mai and King have their way with Yuri while trying to keep Ryo, Robert and Takuma from finding out. Chris has his way with both Vice and Mature (though Vice is also given a male member in this story). There is also a bonus story with Terry Bogard and Blue Mary. In this one Kensou, Chris and Bao all have their way with Vanessa. K9999 and Angel try to help emotionally frigid Kula Diamond "feel something". Mai and Andy are getting hot in a public park restroom when Andy calls Kensou to come take pictures of them in action. The police show up and Andy runs away to act as decoy while Mai hides in a stall. Kensou shows up before Andy returns and, after some foreplay, Kensou and Mai run off and hide out in the park, where they go at it. Pin-ups are of Bao, Hinako, Kaoru, Kula, Vanessa, Kasumi, Xiangfei, and a bonus story about King and her brother Jan. Hinako and Sie Kensou, making love inspired by Kensou's videos of himself with Athena. Also includes a bonus story of Kensou and Mai sneaking into a public restroom so Kensou can take nude photos of her. Of course, things heat up and they have sex. Mary is hired to protect Rock Howard and they hide out at Kensou's apartment. Kensou is a bisexual and Mary satisfies his urges to keep him away from Rock, enjoying herself in the process. Another story involves Mary losing a bet to Chris, Kensou and Rock, having to let them gangbang her. A third story has Kensou and Athena treat Kaoru as their sex slave. This is probably the biggest issue Saigado released. Story about Bonne Jenet having her way with Chris. Extra pin-up art includes Momoko.

This series, as with The Yuri & Friends, parodies characters from The King of Fighters video games, but are published in full color. Just a collection of pin-ups of Yuri, Mai with Andy, Kensou with Athena, Kagura Chizuru and Kasumi Todoh. Terry and Andy have fun with Mai and Blue Mary, going so far as swapping girlfriends during the act. Using a video of Terry and Mary, Andy and Mai show Athena and Kensou what it's like to have sex with someone besides each other. Includes pin-ups of Vanessa, Fio (from Metal Slug), Xiangfei, Whip and Athena. A Capcom/SNK crossover: Sakura idolizes King, and walks in on Ryo and King doing their thing. Both King and Ryo have their way with Sakura. This issue finally has King as a normal woman. Being somehow based on the SNK vs. Capcom games, the pin-ups are of Chun-Li, Cammy, Vice, Nakoruru and Mai Shiranui. Just a small collection of pin-ups. Kensou and Bao take Hinako in a bathroom, Kensou has both Athena and Kaoru (Athena's fangirl), there are pin-ups of Mai and Mary, and King sleeps with her brother Jan. Terry and Mary stay at Kensou's place, and when they start making love, Kaoru steps in and joins in. The pin-ups include Athena with Kaoru, Chris and Bao dressed as Athena and Shermie (???), Angel and Vanessa. Staying at some kind of tropical resort, Mai is bored as Terry and Andy run off and leave her alone. Chris, Bao and Kensou keep her company. Pin-ups are of Vanessa and Mary getting the same treatment. Another collection of pin-ups. The first set features Mai getting gang-banged by Terry, Andy, Kensou, and three other guys. The second shows Kensou making it with Momoko, while Athena assists in the background. The third set features Bonne Jenet in a threesome with two young boys. To be released later in 2007.

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Four of the first six dōjinshi published by Saigado Comic Publishing were based on Neon Genesis Evangelion. Left Eye and Right Here were republished in 1999 as revised editions featuring new covers and artwork to celebrate Saigado Comic Publishing's third anniversary. Suite For My Sweet and Feel My Vibe were republished in 2001 as fifth anniversary editions, again featuring new covers and artwork. This was Saigado Comic Publishing's first ever release in April 1996. Along with Right Here, this is the rarest dōjinshi Saigado has published. Whilst the 1999 reprint is quite common, it is almost impossible to track down this original print because of its limited distribution. The story is about Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami. Rei describes how she caught Gendo having sex with Ritsuko and she ran off crying. Shinji comforts her and they end up making love. Following Left Eye, this was Saigado's second release, and is just as rare to track down. It tells a story of Shinji and Asuka having sex, and there are a few artworks of Rei having sex with Gendo. This was Saigado's fourth release, following The Yuri & Friends '96 Plus. The original front and back covers featured Ritsuko Akagi and Maya Ibuki together in lingerie. Maya is working late at NERV, Ritsuko comes up behind her and begins to grope and kiss her. They go to a hotel in suite 1015 and take a bath together. Ritsuko reveals she is a futa. Maya performs oral sex on Ritsuko, then they have full sex and it ends with them having pillow talk. Saigado's sixth release, the original version featured Ryoji Kaji carrying Asuka Langley in his arms on the front, and Asuka lying on a bed with her dress almost pulled off and panties around her ankles on the back. The main story tells of Asuka going to Ryoji's house and trying to seduce him, lying on his bed. She eventually gives him oral sex the they have doggy-style sex. Then there are some illustrations of Asuka and Shinji drawn by Renga, not Ishoku Dougen. The there are further illustrations by Ishoku including Hikari Hiyasibara, and a few more by Renga. This revised edition featured Rei in a plug suit on the front, and Misato Katsuragi with Shinji on the back with the blurb "Saigado 1996-1999 Left Eye". It again features the Left Eye story from the original, which is followed by a new illustration set, "29 x 14 Lovers", referring to it being about Misato aged 29 and Shinji aged 14 making love. This revised addition featured a cover similar to the revised Left Eye, with Asuka in a red plug suit, and Ritsuko and Maya stripping to lingerie on the back. It retells the original Right Here story between Asuka and Shinji, and includes the Rei and Gendo illustrations, but also features a new illustration set "Maya is My Kitten", where Ritsuko has Maya dressed as a kitten on a leash. Maya has double penetrative sex with Makoto Hyuga and Shigeru Aoba. This revised edition was released to coincide with Saigado's fifth anniversary. The new cover had Maya Ibuki with a leash around her neck and clothes falling off on the front, and Ritsuko treating Maya like a kitten on a leash on the back. Again it features the original futanari story from the first edition, but now includes new illustrations of Ritsuko having group sex with two men, and a new story very similar to the "Maya is My Kitten" illustrations from the revised Right Here. Ritsuko has Maya on a leash again wearing nothing but a pair of cat ears. Makoto and Shigeru turn up and Ritsuko makes Maya perform oral sex on them whilst she watches and masturbates. They spit roast Maya and climax on her, then Maya wakes up as if it were a dream and finds a note from Ritsuko telling her to come back to hotel suite 1015. Once again the original content of Feel My Vibe get reprinted, including the illustrations. The new covers feature Asuka stripping out of a yellow dress on the front and Shinji Mounting Misato from behind on the back. There is a new straight shota story included called "Another Time Another Place", which describes Shinji and Misato having sex whilst Asuka and Ryoji are doing the same. Misato tells Shinji to have anal sex with her. It includes only the original Ishoku Dougen illustrations however, not those that were done by Renga for the original.

Hinomaru-kun no Kae! ひの丸クンの変っ！
This was an original comedy hentai series about a boy born into a military family who is raised and forced to live as a girl. He is enrolled in a girl-only school and attends whilst pretending to be a girl. His fellow students discover his gender and are sympathetic for him and engage with sex with him out of curiosity. One of their teachers discovers his secret and she continually attempts to sexually abuse him, while he tries to evade her. The story was originally serialized and published sporadically in Men's Young magazine (メンズヤング) from April 1998 to December 1999. Saigado did not originally conclude the story. Following the success of Hana's Holiday, Hinomaru-kun no Kae! was collected and republished as a tankobon in 2006 in Futabasha's Action Comics line.

Boku no Pico
Ishoku Dougen of Saigado is credited with the character design for Boku no Pico (ぼくのぴこ), a shotacon anime produced by Natural High in 2006. The content of this OVA is very similar to Saigado's Maniax imprint of dōjinshi. Whilst Ishoku Dougen designed the characters, Yoshiten, the character designer for Bible Black, is credited as the animation character designer. It was followed up in 2007 by the OVA Pico to Chico, again using Dougen's character designs.

Uncensored & Translated Versions of Works
All of the Saigado studio's material is published only in Japan, as such all the material conforms to Japanese censorship laws. Many fans have undertaken projects to scan Saigado's works then translate them to other languages and remove censorship, then distribute them on the Internet. None of Saigado's material has been officially published in any language other than Japanese and none has been published without the required censorship.
