Dunno if there is yet but maybe, I think, it's possible to make ur own fonts.

Very possible. You just need the tools. To my knowledge there is no UY font. The problem I see with your request is that you want your font to be 2 colors. Fonts are vector graphic sets, you see, and are always monochromatic. They're made that way so that the user can choose the color of their font, and most graphics programs only have 1 color selection for the font (which fact causes the other is like the question of the chicken and the egg).

Now, if what you're looking for is a logo design, that's a much more easily accomplished request. Fonts can take a while to create, where logos can be built up in a matter of hours (or minutes for the more simplistic ones).

Maybe someone here she start a project on making the UY font. You'll need to get all 26 letters x2 for caps and lowercase and also the numbers and other symbols

A very ambitious project.
Perhaps an example of one character would help visualise this idea

What is Urusei Yatsura font exactly? How does it look different from other fonts? Was he talking about the title and how the star is like in the letters, or in this case characters?

Could be like that, and color of the letter could be half yellow half black.

THIS ONE !!

I need it to write the title of the comic that I'm trying to realize for my first fanfic ("A NEW BEGINNING FROM THE END").

So basically you don't really need the font, you just need a logo? Even if it were possible to make an actual font that fits what you describe, would you have wanted the Japanese letters, or Roman letters (IE: English, Italian and most other western languages)?

Is that what you wanted? I know how to get that.

If you want "Urusei Yatsura" in japanese, go to youtube, search Urusei Yatsura and then one of the options it says under "would you also like to try" is the japanese characters for it.

I try to explain.

This is what I'm trying to replicate: (http://www.lum-chan.com/index.php?action-gallery;sa=view;id=1998)

I'm trying to find a way to get a font that will make me able to write anything in this way, not only a logo (sincerely I'm trying to avoid the use of the official urusei yatsura logo).

In what way though? do you have any examples? Could you write a sample and then post as a pic?

Ya, you'll have to make the letters urself. Or a group will have to work on it.
