Where is this cute manga?

MinunP · 04-16-2008, 08:28 PM

Today, I was browsing Mario Wiki's Merchandise section and I happened upon this weird, but strangely adorable manga series. It's called Super Mario-Kun. I have taken an interest in reading it even though I don't know the slightest bit of Japanese, and I'd like to know where I can find it, if possible.

According to Wikipedia, it's Japan-only (you probably guessed that).

There are a few pages on the publisher's site here: ¥³¥í¥³¥í¸ø¼°¥µ¥¤¥È¡ÃÎ©¤ÁÆÉ¤ß¥³¥ß¥Ã¥¯¥¹¡ª
It's mostly in kana (or the kanji has little kana next to it), so depending on your anime/gaming experience, you can parse little parts of it here and there.

It looks like no group is translating it, though: Baka-Updates Manga - Super Mario-kun

A few other tantalizing sites:
Super Mario-Kun - Super Mario Wiki - has cover art for each issue
Yoshi Art .com - Super Mario Comics - has a poorly scanned issue

We had another topic about this a few months ago.

Anyway, I think the only place where you could actually buy this would be something like eBay. And even then, you'd have to learn Japanese.

I don't see how it could be any better then Super Mario Adventures/Mario vs Wario.

Did you see the link I gave? It has Mario barging in on Bowser taking a bath. That's comedy gold.
