New Read - Disney Stitch! (Complete Series)

So, I had previously read "Stitch! Best Friends Forever" which is a collection of manga stories about Stitch. This is the original series that the previous post was based on.

Short version is that Stitch crash lands accidentally in Japan on island in Okinawa. Stitch befriends a local girl named Yuna and goofiness ensues. The entire series is just one goofy event after another of Stitch trying to do good deeds.

At any point, Stitch could go home to Lilo in Hawaii, but chooses not to to continue to have silly slice of life adventures with Yuna instead. Pleakey and Jumba even show up to even sillier effect.

This was what confused me about the original manga I had read. It was set surrounding the stories of the original manga, so it was side stories that would supplement this one and, reiterate some of the origin tales and closing chapters for new readers. But, for me, a person going in blind, that one was confusing. This one was less so.

The TokyoPop compilation of the two volumes of Stitch also includes some Lilo and Stitch comics in the middle. These ones are just little slice of life day to day adventures of Lilo and Stitch in Hawaii.

The high point of the entire series, for me, was a single chapter where Stitch and a rooster who hates everyone end up competing and fighting. Screenshot included of them boxing.

TL;DR If you want goofy, slice of life with Stitch from Lilo and Stitch where he's crash landing as a fish out of water in Japan, check it out. If that doesn't appeal to you, then ignore it.

So, I pre-ordered the Stitch Manga omnibus. The day it was supposed to arrive, I get a message saying it was back ordered and that they'd deliver it when it gets back in stock.

This...this was why I pre-ordered in the first place. So I'd have it when it dropped.

Oh well. I can wait.

...For now.

New Read - Disney Stitch: Best Friends Forever

Story time to start. Sorry, I can't help myself.

My youngest two are 9 and this week they had a Scholastic Book Fair. One thing that they've found is that, from time to time, there is Disney manga at the book fair from TokyoPop. Which, by the way, there were no comic books at Scholastic Book Fairs when I was a kid, but I digress.

As my youngest like Lilo and Stitch, they picked up this volume called "Stitch: Best Friends Forever!" Short version: It's cute.

The story has Stitch's ship crash landing in an island in Okinawa. While there, Stitch becomes friends with a local girl named Yuna and goofiness ensues. This single volume has self-contained stories in each individual chapter of Stitch getting into silly / funny situations with an elementary aged girl and her friends.

This is, however, a compilation volume. There is a full, two volume Stitch manga that was previously released. "Best Friends Forever" picks some fan favorite chapters and mashes them together in what, at times, feels like no particular order. It's not bad, but it does give you kind of whiplash from time to time

Long story short, it's a taste of the Stitch manga. If you enjoy it (which we did), then it's worth checking out the full series (which I probably will with my kids).

It's a cute, all ages manga about Stitch and a different friend in Japan. If you like cute kid's manga, check it out.

Continued thread

In effect, this meant that if #Tokyopop chose to cease publication of a title, the contract would prohibit creators from completing their work independently.

And when Tokyopop’s North American division had to shut down three years later, this is exactly what happened: Entire creations faded away, their promising creators burned out.

What a vile, appalling document it was – pardon my French.

Donald Duck Visits Japan is silly.

The single volume series follows Donald and his buddies José Carioca and Panchito from the classic cartoon #TheThreeCaballeros work for Duck Furnishings in the US. Being that it is this trio, they're always getting into trouble. So, their boss sends the three of them to Japan to become better employees by forcing them to work at a traditional, and very strict, Onsen in Japan.

Basically, it's a goofy story about Donald and friends becoming good at helping / serving others while working at an Onsen. That's it.

I have read this a few times and so have a few of my kids. It's silly, it's relaxing, and I tend to bring it with me on vacations if I'm looking for something quick to read at the beach.

Are there any single volume manga that you go back to and re-read to relax? Let me know in the comments!
