The Way You Remember Me is a charity zine dedicated to the pairing RokuNami (Roxas and Naminé) from the Kingdom Hearts games.

About

The Way You Remember Me is an unofficial, nonprofit, fan project celebrating the Roxas and Naminé ship with the theme centering on the idea of soulmates and the red strings of fate that always bind Roxas and Naminé together no matter what world they find themselves in.[1]

The zine was teased on January 17, 2020, temporarily titled as "RokuNami Crimson Strings of Fate Fanzine"[2]. The zine entered a dormant state for the rest of the year until the beginning of October, when the project's social media account resumed posting[3].

In a frequently asked questions post on January 10, 2021, the zine would be for charity, with proceeds being donated to RedRover[4]. Applications were expected to open on February 14, 2021, but an update prior to the schedule date announced that unforeseen circumstances would delay applications until March 28, 2021, on RokuNami Day[5].

Contributor applications opened on March 27, 2021, for writers and artists[6]. An option to apply as a merch artist was added to the application later[7]. Applications closed on May 14, 2021[8]. Result emails were sent out on May 22, 2021[9].

A giveaway for a full bundle with digital merch was run from February 5 to February 14, 2022[13]. The winner of this giveaway was Twitter usre yoyodraws1[14]. Preorders closed on March 19, 2022[15]. The store opened for one day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series on March 28, 2022, and RokuNami Day[16].

Shipping of physical orders was scheduled on October 31, 2022[17]. However, due to an emergency going on with the shipping mod's pet dog, orders began shipping out on December 5th[18].

I am not the type of person who cares about romances in video games, but I always loved how KH artists have depicted Roxas and Namine. These are so beautiful! Thanks @rokunamizine! #KingdomHearts[32]
