While it may be different from the games the 1st manga volume brings a lot of charm to the characters with some good translation Kirby's still cute and Dedede is well... Dedede The manga's stories typically involve the cheerful, hyperactive, and gluttonous prankster Kirby getting into a scuffle with the eccentric King Dedede, who is usually friendly and easygoing until he becomes annoyed by Kirby's behavior and taunts. Despite their many conflicts, the two still regard each other as friends at heart, and they sometimes work together. Often, Kirby will also spend a chapter trying to achieve a goal in an absurd manner, letting himself get carried away with passing whims and fancies, or he will act out scenarios drawn from classic literature, television, history, and current trends. Aside from Kirby himself, the manga features many of the characters from the Kirby series of games, including Meta Knight, King Dedede, and many of the regular enemies and bosses from the games as well.

In the first chapter in Kirby Manga Mania, Vol. 1, Kirby drinks a bottle of alcohol (translated as “loopy juice”) and proceeds to drunkenly destroy King Dedede’s relaxing sakura viewing party. He gives addled life advice to Dedede, flips a table in anger after failing karaoke, and falls asleep on a sushi advertisement. He also swallows his friend Chirby, who looks like a tiny Kirby with an ice cream cone on his head. All the while, Kirby punctuates his sentences with his catchphrase “pepoh.” Obviously, there’s a bit of a disconnect between video game Kirby and manga Kirby. It’s an element that Kirby Manga Mania shares with Mario Manga Mania, a December release from Viz Media that was similarly a best-of collection of strips starring a Nintendo icon, in which the Italian plumber was ruder, cruder, cowardly, and generally more venal than he seems in his games.

Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives in Pupupu ( 星のカービィ デデデでプププなものがたり, Hoshi no Kirby: Dedede de Pupupu na Monogatari ) is a Japanese manga series based on the video game series of the same name written and illustrated by Hirokazu Hikawa [ ja]. The series follows the adventures of Kirby and his friend Chirby, who are on a quest to return the Star Rod, the legendary treasure of Dream Land.Each of the volume’s 11 short stories features Kirby and Dedede, generally with at least one other name character among the interchangeable animals and figures that make up the population of the Dream Land setting. While the characters’ roles remain intact for each story, the circumstances may vary rather widely. They visit a hotel Dedede fears may be haunted. They get trapped in a board game. They visit the future. Kirby tries to secede from Dream Land and form his own country. The cover looks adorable, so I thought that this would be a cute little book. I was wrong. Now, my brother tells me that this is likely a classic "gag" manga, but I'll be honest, if this is what goes for a gag in Japan, then I don't want to read any more. I expected the Kirby of the games, a cute pink puffball who eats things and gains their powers. Now, I've only read two stories (that was all I could stomach), but that was not the story that I was seeing. Ultimately Kirby passes out in the grass. Yet the horrors don’t end there. Kirby’s body begins to wriggle. Nope, he’s not throwing up. It turns out the 10 people he’d eaten are still alive, and are crawling their way out of his mouth.

In Chapter 1 of the Japanese orginal version, Kirby consumes a drink with a label that reads 「酒」 which means "alcohol." This was changed in the English localization to "Loopy Juice" to avoid references to alcohol. However, the kanji character can still be seen in one panel. Well it's translated from the original Japan as Kirby of the Stars Dedede Pupupu Story Dedede Compilation. I believe Pupupu is Japanese for Dream Land. Not the bed company. This is Kirby I'm on about

As the volume continues, it settles into a familiar rhythm. This Kirby is a mischievous elementary schooler, like the ones who read his stories while they were being published. He thinks he knows what’s going on. He thinks he knows what to do. He really knows neither. Kirby uses his immense power and endless copy abilities to act upon his desires until everything is destroyed or restored and the poyo boyo reveals himself to be the goodhearted innocent we all know him to be. King Dedede is pulverized to oblivion throughout. Repeat.

the Mario related manga series is called Mario Mania Manga and the Kirby related manga is also called Kirby Manga Mania. What's next? Star Fox Mania Manga? Fire Emblem Mania Manga? Kid Icarus Mania Mania? Oh well The series would later be published as a "best-of" collection, featuring a selection of chapters that Hikawa considers the best, in addition to bonus comics. It was published in English as Kirby Manga Mania by Viz Media, with the first volume being published on June 8, 2021. [8]

Viz Media originally had plans to localize Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives In Pupupu into English for North America in 2009, making an announcement about the series. [2] The proposed English title was simply Kirby. For unknown reasons, these plans were quietly abandoned by 2011. Presumably, this release would have covered the complete series starting with the first 1995 volume, if it had happened. Dedede begins to warm up to Kirby after he graciously shares his dinner and bed. But it wouldn’t be Kirby Manga Mania if something didn’t go wrong. The real protagonist of the Kirby strips, in a reversal of the dynamics of many of the franchise’s games, is King Dedede, the often-selfish, penguin-like anthropomorphic bird that serves as several games’ antagonist. In most of the strips, Dedede is more-or-less minding his own business as he was in the initial one with the picnic—perhaps he’s readying his castle for an upcoming typhoon, or playing with his toy robot pet—when Kirby enters the picture, generally causing huge problems for Dedede. Kirby generally seems to do so not necessarily out of malice, but instead out of a combination of ignorance and a readiness for instantaneous action, which, given Kirby’s inhaling powers, generally has big ramifications.
