The words Captain Underpants and manga is something I never thought I would wake up to, but I welcome it. Also, this would definitely be a good read for kids.

Here's an example of some of the stuff that the artist has done if anyone wanted to look up their art. Not sure if they have a social media presence online. https://search.rakuten.co.jp/search/mall/もとじろう/

I love this, OMG. I grew up with the books and I'm just so happy to see it's still getting new stuff like this. Looks super cute!

Oh wow, that takes me back. One of my younger brothers had a few of the books and I read at least the first one. Fantastic that they're even including the Flip-o-Rama parts. Laughing

I see Japanese text being used in this one, is there any plan for this to get a Japanese release? I mean if you're going to use "manga" in your title and using Japanese texts in there, you're asking Japanese folks to have this translated and published over there. Also, this would enforce the reason (including mine) why American comic books including OEL manga should probably get simulpub release in Japan the same way we in the US/North America get manga simulpub when they come out at the same time in Japan.

I have to assume that somebody in Japan and that include any Japanese fans of Captain Underpants might want to have this available (as in being translated in Japanese) to them.
