Nintendo’s iconic pink blob is finally getting an English manga with Kirby Manga Mania, releasing on June 8. The adventure is being authored by Hirokazu Hikawa and distributed by VIZ Media.
Kirby Manga Mania is a comedic journey set in Dream Land, with our hero going up against King Dedede and featuring appearances from Dark Matter, Jukid, Gooey, Chef Kawasaki, and more. The book will be available for just $9.99 and will be the first time Kirby sees an English manga release.
“This is my first best-of collection,” Hirokazu Hikawa said. “I selected the funniest stories out of the Kirby manga series’ 25-volume run. I also drew the series’ first brand-new chapter in 11 years, as well as some bonus comics. I hope you’ll enjoy those too.”
VIZ Media said the upcoming manga will “show what Kirby does best: sleeping, eating, destroying, yet saving the day and always looking cute!” The company is no stranger to bringing popular manga west, and its portfolio of titles even includes an original Assassin’s Creed story.
Kirby Manga Mania is expected to arrive on June 8 with pre-orders now available. To learn more about the manga, you can check out the official VIZ Media website.
