Ever wonder what all your Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers do without you? Our guess would be that they wander around the town, having banal conversations with each other and literally counting down the amount of time we're gone for so that they can berate us when we return.
However, according to the Animal Crossing manga, Deserted Island Diary, they're having a grand old time. The series, which came out in Japan a while back, is getting an English translation this year, starting with the first book, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Vol. 1 Deserted Island Diary. The series will continue with two new volumes every year, covering various different villagers.
You may remember the ACNH manga strips called NookTails from earlier last year, which showed Tom Nook giving tips to newcomers, and Timmy and Tommy mostly causing chaos. The official Animal Crossing Twitter account published them before and after the game's release.
Does an Animal Crossing manga sound like your kind of thing, or are you still waiting on Nintendo to announce something bigger for the one-year anniversary of the game's launch? Let us know below in the comments.

Cool manga, pizza wins again.
As long as itās better than the splatoon manga Iām down!
@Thwomp_Stomper y e z
@Thwomp_Stomper splatoon manga seemed random imo. Like the story, just all over the place.
@Mr_Persona it really was. Had the opportunity to be really good with the setup of the story and all we got was the protagonist obsessed with pulling peoples pants down...
Wow, first mario-kun, then the Iwata book and now this?! It's about time Nintendo recognizes people outside Japan want this non video game Nintendo media.
That nook tails one is adorable, didn't know about those.
@Thwomp_Stomper xD l remember that with the pants. Kinda always reminded me of a pervert by my bike path last year. Poor ppl that got targeted, and wow its in a child manga. Kinda a bad message. I remember l thought the story will just be about secret agents, but nope l got completely unexpected stuff xD
I know a few folk who are VERY excited about this
@Mr_Persona Hope that person got caught for that!
I agree it being a poor message for sure with the younger audience. Neighborhood kids would get in literal fist fights when that would happen in my youth. That being said I too thought it was about the agents š
@Thwomp_Stomper Yeah and I'm not sure if that guy did get caught. It started in October last year and later on, I didn't hear any more bad news about it.
haha, this is a wholesome little thing.
@Chowdaire If you were to take time off and read the replies to the linked VIZmedia tweet you will notice that the otakus and weabos that follow said account are all pissy about them releasing an ANIMAL CROSSING manga.
@GC-161 well, they can piss-off then.
@Chowdaire
"WHY ARE YOU WASTING TIME WITH THIS?
"Who is the target audience of this manga? I'm not a furry! I'M INTO LOLIS, dammit!"
@GC-161 Wow. That's toxic. I hope this ends up being one of their best sellers just to spite those people.
