#marx carrying his and kirbys shared notebook everywhere

I Acquired A Copy!

…of the volume of Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy where Marx and Kirby were childhood best friends! Manpuku may not be the prettiest looking (and its obsession with Dedede’s butt is a.definite.issue) but I found myself pleasantly satisfied with this one story.

“Do you remember every promise you’ve ever made?”
“You’re sure you haven’t forgotten even one?”
“A promise languishing somewhere…”
“…unfulfilled…?”

It had your standard zany manga Kirby gags, but Marx and Kirby’s friendship was done well, never crossing over into uncomfortable weirdness. This was a nice mix of sympathetic Marx and mischief-gremlin Marx. (Especially gremlin-like, as he lived alone in the tunnels underneath Castle Dedede for 5 years waiting for Kirby!!)

Anyway, really happy to see another manga outside of Moretsu Pupupu Hour attempt to work Marx into the story at all. 

(…It CAN be done!)
