4-Koma Gag Battle



The Golden Sun 4-Koma Gag Battle is an unofficial manga, composed of four-cell strips done by various artists. 4-Koma is shorthand for Yonkoma Manga, meaning 4-cell manga. The majority of the strips involve humour, hence Gag Battle.

It was published on December 10, 2001 in Japan, four months after Golden Sun had been released in Japan. It only features characters and references from the first game, since Golden Sun: The Lost Age was only released half a year later. So Piers, Karst and Agatio are noticeably absent.

Eighteen artists contributed to the manga. Each one of them contributed one colour page and six black-and-white pages. In total, the manga came up to 126 pages, 16 of them colored.

Separate translation projects are currently underway to translate it into English. One project is ongoing at Golden Sun Realm, with the scans being withheld until it is completed. The other project is being done by Sora G. Silverwind, who releases the individual scans once translated.
