Two Sides is a zine centered around the pairings SoKai (Sora/Kairi) and RokuNami (Roxas/Naminé) from the Kingdom Hearts games.

About

“Right. Anytime Sora and Kairi are together…”

“ …We’ll be together every day, right, Sora?”

Two Sides is a fanzine celebrating SoKai and RokuNami from Kingdom Hearts! This zine will arrange art and writing to donate to the Best Friends Animal Society charity, a non-profit organization that works to protect dogs and cats from kill shelters as they try to find these animals loving homes..

The zine was announced on Tumblr on October 16, 2018. Applications opened on the same day and ended on November 16th.

Preorders opened from April 28 to June 28, 2019, with the following pricing tiers:

• Digital Edition - Digital Zine
• Physical Edition - Physical Zine, Print
• Duality - Physical Zine, 4 Charms, 4 Postcards
• Reflection - Physical Zine, 6 Charms, 2 Buttons, 6 Postcards
• Ultima Edition - Physical Zine, Digital Zine, Sticker Sheet, Enamel Pin, 7 Charms, 2 Buttons, 9 Postcards

A giveaway for a copy of the zine and an Ultima bundle was hosted from April 28 to May 28, 2019. The winners were announced to be pixie-mask and angelrider13.

Physical orders began shipping on October 12, 2019. Starting on October 22nd, digital zines began to be delivered. Digital zines were finished shipping by October 26, 2019. By November 2nd, all preorders were shipped out.

The first donation announcement was posted on December 24, 2019, reporting $1859 USD to the Best Friends Animal Society.

Leftover sales began on January 10, 2020. The zine's digital store finally closed its doors on December 24, 2020.

A final donation of $1125.79 USD to the same charity was announced on December 25, 2020, totalling to $2984.79 USD in donations to Best Friends Animal Society.

The zine's team would return in 2022 to create a new zine with the same premise, set to be available in 2023.

My contributor’s copy of @twosidesfanzine came in! It’s so gratifying to see my writing in print with everyone else. This was most definitely a project of love for the past year, but so worth it.
