An Unhappy Birthday
Mission One’s Commentary:
The DQ series is like a license to print money over in Japan, so you can understand Pea hitting the sauce a little bit.
RKasa adds:
The date that this comic was first published was on December 12, 2006, Pea’s second birthday.
Dragon Quest IX being announced for a Nintendo idol, and a portable at that, came as a shock to JRPG fans the world over. The previous DQ had come out for Double, so many expected that Triple would get the next installment. As it turned out, not even Pea would clinch that guaranteed megahit.
