Re-Uploaded 3 Volumes of 4Koma

 

Sometimes Internet Archive gets takedown requests from companies, that use bots to search for keywords, and those seem to ping things that they don't actually license. I don't always get notified when something gets taken down so I found out these had been gone for a while when I was updating a link list today. Good news is that IA is working really well ATM so I just re-uploaded all 3. 

• Oracle of Seasons 4koma, 2001.
• Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages 4koma, 2001.
• Ocarina of Time 4koma, 1999.

I realize 4koma isn't the most popular thing ever but they're pretty worth checking out. Even if you don't know Japanese the art and sight-gags are pretty great.
