Do you think /a/ would accept it?
On one hand it IS drawn by a legit Japanese artist
On the other hand
>Color
>Western publisher
>Read left to right

This is unexpected but at the same time not so much. Japan loves potty humor.

This isn't published in Japan
I could have seen it be in Corocoro but the way it's meant to be read already sunk that hunch

Looks better than the abominable 3D designs

I was already getting too old for the original books, when they came out; do they expect 30-year-olds to gobble this up, as well?

Good on Pilkey. I'll always celebrate another win for him.

Color and left-to-right would be fine on their own, but both together makes this more of a graphic novel than a manga. Also why include sfx in japanese even though 99.99% of the target audience (american middle and elementary schoolers) won't be able to read them?

This doesn't surprise me because Scholastic recently just got into publishing manga. And not "manga" like they got some westerners to make something manga-like, but actual manga they had to translate and came from Japan

I had to double take in store to make sure I was reading the distributor correctly
