When I was a young lad in grade school, I loved the, "Captain Underpants," books that Dav Pilkey released. Full of hilarious artwork, clever plots, and a dash of toilet humor, he released a ton of entries in the series (he currently is putting out books in another hit series, "Dog Man," which is a cute line too). Now, Pilkey and Japanese manga creator Motojiro are creating a manga adaptation of the original book. Called, "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Manga," it will combine the joy of a Captain Underpants story with the very popular format of manga. It breaks a big rule of manga, reading left-to-right, but that's understandable, so the American kiddos don't get befuddled. Due to arrive April 6th of 2026, I could see it selling lots of copies and being quite popular.
