Max-kun's Otherworld Adventures — Ep.2: The Lord of Lost Saves

After a long journey, Max finally reaches a save monument and records his progress. Then, in a sudden black wind, a caped figure appears — and the save light vanishes.

It's the Lord of Lost Saves, the ghost of a heartbreak every gamer knows. Yet he seems oddly apologetic: "I don't enjoy this. I just… slip out." As he fades away, he leaves Max one piece of advice — "Next time, save often."

From that day on, Max saves every few steps. Some monsters in this world aren't evil at all. Just… unavoidable.

Max-kun's Otherworld Adventures — a heartwarming four-panel series about a boy who wandered into a retro-game dimension that begins at the doorstep of Enjoy Game Japan.
