That right there, that feeling you have right now, is the whiplash you will experience when you begin to read Kirby Manga Mania or the series the chapters are sourced from, Hoshi no Kirby: Dedede de Pupupu na Monogatari. It is unlike any official portrayal of Kirby you are used to. Manga Kirby doesn’t fit with his portrayals in the games, where he gently and dependably defeats a cosmic horror or two. He doesn’t fit with the anime, where he is baby. Manga Kirby isn’t even the determined, pugilistic, angry-eyebrowed manlet seen in American advertising for so long. 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. Genecov, Max (2021-07-01). "The Kirby manga was doing Kirby memes 25 years ago". Polygon .

Though there is still a bit of a clash between the open, writerly, Apollonian Kirby of the games and the bombastic, readerly, Dionysian Kirby of the manga, it is manageable because of what the internet has made with Kirby. The pink orb is clay in its hands. Single images evoke whole worlds. Even devoid of context, he evokes a gentle possibility that only good things will happen to him and his friends, the details of which are almost all up to you and your daydreams.Viz Confirms Kirby Manga & Novels by Hayashi, Otsuichi (Updated)".

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.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 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. The manga is not considered to be canon to the Kirby games or anime. While it draws from the premises introduced in the games, it introduces new characters, events, places, and Copy Abilities and Mix abilities never seen in other Kirby media. Furthermore, it has a far more zany, nonsensical and irreverent tone, with most characters given very different, exaggerated personalities and traits. 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. 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.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.
