What would happen if Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch, crash landed in Japan during the Warring States period instead of in modern Hawai'i?

That's the question that the late Hiroto Wada answered in the manga series "Stitch and the Samurai" (Tono-sama to Stitch).

The art is so very well done and feels like a historical manga. Then enter Stitch, who is drawn exactly like he looks in the movie. The juxtaposition of serious looking historical manga art with the goofiness of Stitch is jarring and hilarious. Also, our titular Lord / Samurai becoming so head over heels obsessed with Stitch is something else.

TokyoPop consolidated all three volumes of it into a single, physical release omnibus, which is a great way to read it. I already read it and reviewed it digitally for @[email protected] a while back, but it was fun to re-read it again.

Now, to convince my Stitch loving kids to check it out too.

Here's some of my recent #manga pickups. I pre-ordered all of them and have basically been getting a new volume a week all month. Next week comes the next hard cover volume of #FistOfTheNorthStar, so that will be very cool!

I love the #AnimalCrossing manga. It's been a fun trip for an ACNH player like me. This volume brings us a #HappyHomeParadise chapter that's really silly.

#StitchAndTheSamurai I've read before. Executive summary: Stitch crashes his spacecraft in the Sengoku (Warring States) Period of Japanese history and a brutal warlord suddenly becomes obsessed with the cuteness of Stitch. And hilarity ensues. My kids are going to really love this.

#SailorMoon is self-explanatory. Next volume from the "Naoko Takeuchi Edition" reprint of the series from #Kodansha. Hyped to keep reading.

And last is #OtakuElf, which I have been really enjoying. Short version: The deity for a local shrine in Japan is actually an elf from another dimension who is a huge nerd. The community and the shrine maiden help her out in her geekiness. It's funny.
