Hey 90s kids! Remember manga kiosks at the mall? Well they still exist in Thailand! And hot dang! Look at this selection! Holy cow they're reprinting "What's Michael?"!!!
Today is a good day. God I love this comic! Best cat comic ever!

Me: Why don't they reprint What's Michael in English? Best cartoon cat ever!
What's Michael:
Ch 1: Michael dies
Ch 2: Full frontal nudity. Pubes. Queef joke
Ch 3: Michael & several cats including mother & kittens shot dead point blank
Ch 4: adorable dancing

A lot of parents are going to be buying this for their kids without checking the age rating lol.
Honestly even I have forgotten how adult oriented What's Michael was. Most of the chapters are fun all ages affairs. But it IS a Seinen comic at heart.

OMG. This reprint includes photos of the original Michael!!! There was a real life Michael??!!!!

I want to reiterate, while What's Michael? does occasionally have some adult humour (and even violent deaths🙀) it's never truly mean spirited. Always fun. Also there's no set story or characters or setting. It's always shifting. And my god, this allows for some amazing comics!
God I love this comic!

Michael's first appearance was actually in a "How to Draw Manga" series that Makoto Kobayashi was already drawing. That's why Michael dies in the first chapter. It was supposed to be a one off joke, but the character became popular and that set the tone for the resulting comics!
Btw you can still get What's Michael? trade paperbacks from Dark Horse! They did a great job translating it! It's one of the best comics out there. I super duper recommend it!
