Saigado Publishing

Saigado Comic Publishing (Saigado Publishing) is a h dojinshi circle famous for publishing hentai parodies, especially of game console fighting games. The Saigado studio frequently parodies the King of Fighters, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Guilty Gear X in its doujinshi. The Boku no Seinen Kouken-nin series (Seinin-series) and Hana's Holiday series (Hanasan no Kyuujitsu) are two original works by the studio.

Saigado has a distinct style with rounder, less messy, and arguably more realistically drawn characters than a lot of their 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 best artistic studios in Doujinshi publishing.

Members of the Studio
Ishoku Dougen is the only member of the Saigado Saigado Circle. His prior works, before Saigado, were in another circle called Moriman Shouten. Moriman Shouten published a series of books called Katze which feature a distinct Saigado art-style. Dougen participated in Katze 10 to the final volume, Katze 15, and additionally Round 2. Round 2 is a single book featuring only Dougen's artwork. The original publication of 'Suite For My Suite' by the Saigado studio was drawn by Ishoku Dougen.

Yuri and Friends Series ユリ＆フレンズ
This series featured annual releases from 1996 and 2001. Another spoof of King of Fighters, the Yuri and Friends featured an array of stories using various characters from the King of Fighters stable. A unique feature in these releases is that some of the Yuri and Friends releases were released in full color issues, adding to their collectibility. After the last annual, many specials featuring characters from the series have been released.

This issue starts the series as Mai Shiranui and King have male members which they use upon Yuri Sakazaki. The doujinshi 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 Asemiya, 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 pics. Mai Shiranui and King return, using their male members on Yuri again, except this time Kagura Chizuru 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) and we get 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'. Just a collection of pin-ups of Yuri, Mai with Andy, Kensou with Athena, Kagura Chizuru and Kasumi Todoh. One of the most popular doujins translated in English, Terry and Andy have fun with Mai Shiranui 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 kinda based on the Capcom VS SNK 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), we get pin-ups of Mai and Mary, and King sleeps with her brother Jean. 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. Kensou and Mai sneak into some public bathrooms so he can take nude pics of her to sell online. of course, things heat up and they go at it. Pin-ups are of Bao, Hinako, Kaoru, Kula, Vanessa, Kasumi, Xiangfei, and a bonus story about King and her brother Jean. Hinako and Sie Kensou, making love inspired by Kensou's videos of himself with Athena Mary and Rock Howard have to stay at Kensou's place for a bit, and Mary eventually gives in to Kensou's advances, letting him take her as many times as he wants. 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 sexslave. This is probably the biggest issue Saigado released. Story about Bonne Jenet having her way with Chris. Extra pin-up art includes Momoko.
