My youngest two are 9 and this week they had a Scholastic Book Fair. One thing that they've found is that, from time to time, there is Disney manga at the book fair from TokyoPop. Which, by the way, there were no comic books at Scholastic Book Fairs when I was a kid, but I digress.
As my youngest like Lilo and Stitch, they picked up this volume called "Stitch: Best Friends Forever!" Short version: It's cute.
The story has Stitch's ship crash landing in an island in Okinawa. While there, Stitch becomes friends with a local girl named Yuna and goofiness ensues. This single volume has self-contained stories in each individual chapter of Stitch getting into silly / funny situations with an elementary aged girl and her friends.
This is, however, a compilation volume. There is a full, two volume Stitch manga that was previously released. "Best Friends Forever" picks some fan favorite chapters and mashes them together in what, at times, feels like no particular order. It's not bad, but it does give you kind of whiplash from time to time
Long story short, it's a taste of the Stitch manga. If you enjoy it (which we did), then it's worth checking out the full series (which I probably will with my kids).
It's a cute, all ages manga about Stitch and a different friend in Japan. If you like cute kid's manga, check it out.

Everyone who creates forgets certain details about their creations from time 2 time. Most creators in today's time don't initial &/or date their work, etc. These cards are the size of business cards & can be filled out so precious information won't be lost.
I found this on Facebook and thought others might also like to explain to their #BetterHalf (as I have been endeavoring to do and failing miserably at) that we have to #Stitch#ForHealthReasons. 😉
Anyone who is successful at this mission, please advise the rest of us how you accomplished such a great feat.
Last night, I was able to pick up the new #MagicKey#MagicKeyHolder#Stitch straw clip for a friend. He's super cute, but it turns out you could only buy one if you bought a beverage too. There was no indication of that in the announcement nor on the #Disneyland app, and none of the prior straw clips required a beverage purchase that I can recall. It seems pretty crappy to take advantage of Stitch's popularity to require you to purchase a beverage you might not want just to buy this.
The #Stitch plush for January for the #StitchAttacksSnacks promotion is so cute with him munching on a tasty pretzel. Even his little shirt has pretzels all over it! #Disneyland
@fibrearts@crochet I'm attempting to improve my crochet skills and have decided to make a blanket of granny squares using different styles, stitches techniques. Does anyone have any recommendations or links for books, patterns, resources etc? There are no wrong answers. I really want to learn as wide a variety as possible. Even if it's not a "granny" square pattern, I want to fins ways of making things work. #crochet#stitch#technique#grannysquare#fibreart
Starting at the beginning ... My Grandmama helped me to stitch this for my mother when I was a little girl. She drew a little sprig, fished out her cottons, and encouraged me to play. I think this is #WhereItBegan for my love of #stitch. #HandEmbroidery #ArtAdventCalendar
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 @beneaththetangles a while back, but it was fun to re-read it again.
Now, to convince my Stitch loving kids to check it out too.
