The King of Fighters '97 Comic Anthology

In December 2023, the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre held a free used Japanese books sale. It was like Heaven on Earth.

Within that sale I got... The King of Fighters '97 Comic, part of the Hinotama Game Comic Series, published by Kobunsha! And also I got Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side Official Anthology Comic Vol. 1, Genso Suikoden Soul Eater part 2 and 3 (my mom walked by asking wtf isn't that a chinese story), The World's Most Tender Music volume 1 (scoreeee) but yeah this page is about fighting games.

It is in 200-ish DPI but should still be good for scanlating more or less. A few pages are out of order and weirdly cut in half by my scanning machine, but otherwise workable I hope. I gave away all the books I got from the sale except tender music because Mari Ozawa is peak, so sadly I cannot do anymore rescanning.

The scans should still be OK though... Right?

Is kinda manly, to top it off ♡'

Including works from:

Read it here on the drive!

And plz share if you use it for translating or scanlating or whatever. I'd love to know what fun gags lie within!
