If you've ever read the Majora's Mask manga by the artist duo known as Akira Himekawa, then you'd know in the Author's Notes they mentioned that they were unable to fit Romani and Cremia into the story - something which bugged me, the fanboy I am for those two, haha.

Anyway, nearly 15 years later, Akira Himekawa have finally given us a teeny peek at the scrapped manga chapter in honour of the Majora’s Mask 3D release.

It looks as though the story would’ve involved Link stumbling upon Romani and Cremia as they struggle to control the horses Cremia uses to drive her wagon.

It’s not known if the segment featuring the “Aliens”, the Gorman brothers, or Link reuniting with Epona (Link does not reunite with Epona till the end of the manga) were meant to be included with this chapter, but we can only assume that had this made it in - or if Majora's Mask was a two part manga like it's predecessor Ocarina of Time - it would’ve been part of the story.

Akira promised us a look at another scrapped part of the Majora’s Mask manga so stay tuned!

I was not expecting to follow up on this so soon, but here we are.
Akira have treated us to another three images from the scrapped Majora's Mask manga manuscript, this time with a bit more context.

User Image

According to Akira, Cremia and Romani would meet Link while on their way to the The Indigo-Go’s concert. Akira stated nothing else in their release of the images other than that we’ll be treated with another set of scrapped pieces from the manuscript. (See? I did say a bit of context, haha)

User Image

Speculation seems to be that this part of the story is how Link would have found out about Lulu and The Inidgo-Go’s, placing this portion of the story between the Snowhead and Great Bay chapters of the manga, just like in the game itself.

User Image

It does look like we would not be getting any story elements of the Aliens or Gorman Brothers however, but that may change in the next update, so let's see.

Welcome back, my dears.
We have more cut content fun as manga duo Akira Himekawa have finally shared their third set of pictures from the manuscript of the Majora’s Mask manga. There is not a lot of content this time around, but it shows us an altered scene from the manga involving The Indigo-Go’s.

As fans of Majora’s Mask know, once players complete the Great Bay Temple, Link can perform with The Indigo-Go’s while wearing Mikau's mask, granting his dying wish. Unlike with Cremia and Romani however, this scene was incorporated in the manga, but it was heavily abridged and only lasted one page.

The scene involves Link performing with The Indigo-Go’s and the chapter would presumably tie in with the scrapped Cremia and Romani story as the two were on their way to see them in concert.

“Why are you so nervous? This is a rehearsal. Take it easy!!”

Akira did not say if they would be providing a 4th set of pictures.
