Henshin-Engine : A PC Engine Tribute Comic.
« on: March 02, 2016, 10:30:36 AM »


Hey y'all. I just wanted to share a little project that I'm a big part of, it's a web comic on Instagram titled Henshin-Engine. It's a tribute comic to the PC Engine about a gaming-gal named Yuki Shirokawa who just started an apprenticeship for the Jipang Electronics Corporation (JEC). Her favorite gaming console is the FX-Engine, a product of JEC. She later discovers something crazy about her beloved FX-Engine that would change her life.

Currently on the instagram @henshin_engine - we post one piece of content every weekday, with a new comic page on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a character sheet on Thursday and a short FX Fun Fact video on Friday. For now the comic can only be viewed on instagram on mobile or the web at,

https://www.instagram.com/henshin_engine/



However, Henshin-Engine will soon appear on a very familiar PC Engine related site that most of you are likely familiar with, but I won't make that announcement until that happens. But for now, please follow Henshin-Engine on IG or check and like the facebook page below!

***EDIT***

Henshin Engine can now be found on The PC Engine Software bible at:

I read the first pane. I will read later, after work.

Hopefully, Blodia will be integral to the storyline.

Nice wall of fame on the magazine rack.  :mrgreen:

I assume there's no Brothers Duomazov because it's been 'out of print' for nearly two years now.  :|

Right. I wanted to stick with resources that are kept current (or semi-current, in the case of DoxPhile) .
Holy crap! I love this!

Thanks! I like your enthusiasm :)  There are little references all throughout to different things, though some may be hard to catch and a couple in the very beginning were in Japanese as well. I want to throw in all sorts of little references like this throughout the comic as a little extra thing that true fans of the PC Engine could appreciate.

It looks great!  Will keep an eye out :)

Ah thank you so much! This way,  the story is so much nicer to read on Paul's website than on instagram.
