[ Rune Factory 4 Special Memorial Box - Memorial Book ]

The Memorial Book is a collection of artwork of the entire series up until the release of Rune Factory 4 Special. It collects a majority of the art and even contains harder to find character designs as well (namely the full body designs of several Rune Factory 3 characters). 

Unfortunately, it is also missing several pieces of artwork, such as some Rune Factory Frontier artwork and a lot of bonus artwork of Rune Factory Oceans. However, it is still a very nice artbook to have as a companion to Rune Factory Memoirs, if you have a copy of that. 

Most if not all artwork in this book has already been added to the archive from a different source, so I will not be scanning the contents of this artbook. However, if you want to ask if certain pieces of art are in this, I’ll be happy to answer!

[ Rune Factory 2 - Dengeki Maoh Manga - Chapter One ]

Published: September 2007 Issue (which was published July 25, 2007)

So back in the day, several different manga based off of RF1, RF2, and RFF were serialized in several different magazines. Most of them were not lucky enough to be combined into a separate manga. This means that the only way to read any of them is to gather up all of the different magazines each chapter was published in.

Which, well, is what I’m doing right now.

The Dengeki Maoh Rune Factory 2 manga focuses primarily on Dorothy and Barrett. It is illustrated by the same mangaka who drew the Rune Factory 1 Preorder Bonus comic. Each chapter is roughly 8-10 pages each, and we’re currently predicting that there are five chapters of the manga spread across five issues of Dengeki Maoh. 

I’m currently on the hunt for the rest of this manga! I already have what I think is chapter four of the manga, though I will not be posting it until i have chapters two and three. Currently, the Dengeki Maoh October 2007 issue, which chapter two is in, is not for sale anywhere and has not been for sale since I started keeping track of it half a year ago. If you have any leads on where to purchase this volume, please contact me ASAP!

A huge thank you to @sharance-maze for initially posting the masterlist of lost RF manga and to @alvarna for essentially hunting down every issue the manga could possibly be in! Can’t thank you guys enough for your hard work!

[ Rune Factory - 10th Anniversary 3DS Theme ]

This was a theme made for sale for Japanese 3DS systems in 2016 as a celebration of the series’ 10th anniversary. Unfortunately, this is the clearest picture I was able to find of the theme. 

If anyone has a high quality image of either the top or bottom screen art, please do not hesitate to send it my way!
