A Yajirobe Tale

A Yajirobe Tale is a limelight-focused doujinshi for Dragon Ball, authored by troper User:Beary Scary. The limelight in question is focused on Yajirobe.

A Yajirobe Tale is hosted on numerous sites, such as Smack Jeeves. It's updated on Sundays, most of the time.

In 2012, the series' name was changed from X Meets Y to A Yajirobe Tale.

The first chapter deals with Julia Jones, who is being investigated by the mysterious, much-malinged Seal of Uroboros. Yajirobe observes two Templars of the Seal trying to search Dr. Jones' house, only to run into her secret himself.
