Kirby manga

Kirby also stars in several manga series, none of which have been released outside Japan. The longest running series is titled "Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives In Pupupu", (星のカービイデデデでプププなものがたり)and was written/illustrated by Hirokazu Hikawa (ひかわ 博一 "Hikawa Hirokazu"). [cite web|url = http://www.nippon-export.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=10301|title = Kirby - Manga : Vol. 21|work = Nippon Export|date = 2004-12-01|accessdate = 2006-09-21] The currently most well-known Kirby manga series in Japan, is simply titled "Kirby of the Stars" (星のカービイ) and illustrated by Yoshiko Sakuma.

There is also a Kirby manga series currently being serialized by Coro Coro Comics, titled "Kirby of the Stars! Sigh~ Cold Pupupu Hour!" (星のカービイ!も〜れっつプププアワ〜!), which is based on the newly released . It is written and illustrated by Asami Taniguchi. In November 2006, the month Kirby: Squeak Squad released in Japan, Hirokazu Hikawa's Kirby manga had been replaced on Coro Coro's comic line-up, by Asami Taniguchi.

Other Kirby manga are typically one-shot comedy 4koma based on the games, and have multiple artists. They usually have recurring themes and running gags, despite having different creators.

Like many other Nintendo-based manga series, there are currently no plans to release any of the manga outside of Japan.

A few German comics feature Kirby as a detective and King Dedede as his friend. Kirby is also friends with a blue fish, an informant who works at the Blue Fish Bar with fellow blue fish. His animal friends appear in the German comics as pets of a female Kirby look-alike with red glass slippers, ostensibly one of Kirby's girlfriends. In one comic, he meets Lolo, Lala, and Lulu, the stars of the "Eggerland/Adventures of Lolo" series. These comics were meant to let German Kirby fans know of Kirby games that would be released there.
