Splatoon might only be up to its second game, but it's already become an insanely popular first-party series for Nintendo. As a result of this, the Japanese video game giant is eager to build on its success with clothing, toys and even manga.
If you have read any of the Splatoon manga before, you might be interested to hear more is on its way to the west. This new but old manga series focused on Splatoon 2 was originally published by Hideki Goto in CoroCoro.
VIZ Media now plans to start releasing this here in English on 14th July. Volume 1 is priced at $9.99 (or your regional equivalent) and contains 128 pages. It'll be filled with "4-koma comics" featuring new inklings. You can see the two new stars in the image above and read a description below:
New Inklings take center stage as they and their friends embark on hilarious escapades in the world of Splatoon, the hit video game series from Nintendo!

woha cool. may have to pick this up.
Seems neat.
Might have to add that to the "To Acquire" list I got goin' on Google Sheets.
I love Splatoon but really didn't vibe with the previous/currently localised manga series. This probably won't cut it with me either, but glad to see anything furthering the brand's appeal
Really want to get this and the previous one at some point. Those and the art books, which look amazing
This looks cringe
If it was just called Splatoon Manga or something, I would want this!
But Splatoon Squid Kids Comedy Show Manga? Uh-oh.
I'm yet to read the first manga even though I've been meaning to.
Not sure if I'm part of the target audience, but I'll check this out when it releases.
Read it,its okay... but the actual manga is better
