ABOUT
Fans of a certain marmalade-loving bear will fall in love with this heart-melting manga about a fearless marsupial from down under!
A little wallaby (well, a quokka, really) lived in the Australian outback. He somehow learned to speak (Japanese at that!) and longed to travel to the land of the samurai. One day, a mustachioed rich man from Japan happened upon the little marsupial, and before he knew it, he’d been whisked away on a private jet to the country of his dreams! It turned out the man was the principal of a private school, and now “Mr. Wallaby” is a teacher, inspiring and amusing a whole class of high schoolers!
Slice-of-life manga meets Paddington Bear meets a Steve Irwin nature special in this sweet and silly three-volume manga series.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
