Kirby: Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy - Volume 7, Chapter 78 English Translation

An extra long chapter from a brand new series! Ibuki Takeuchi's Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy is ordinarily wall-to-wall gags, but this one tells a more serious story involving a new take on Marx, portraying him as an old friend of Kirby's who's since turned bad for mysterious reasons. If you're intrigued, read the full chapter at the following links:

Google Drive

As a random fun fact, this manga series is one of the few pieces of Kirby media I've seen that will actually reference the anime sometimes, although no such references occur in this chapter.

Next week, I'm going to continue the Mopupu Planet Robobot saga. The next chapter focuses on King Dedede and Meta Knight, so look forward to that.

got any favorite ships? if not much of a shipping person i'd be really interested in knowing what other kinds of relationships and dynamics you're really into ^_^

Well, my favorite Kirby ships/friendships can go as follows

(Please note that I do not support proshipping and this is not a complete list of friendships and if you want to know more about who's friends .)

Kirby ships I like

Metadedede:

It shouldn't come as a surprise because I like both dedede's and Meta Knights dynamic and seeing the art based around the both of them makes me extremely happy,

Kirbfluff (platonic):

like oh my god, I seriously love the idea of fluff coming to dreamland and having such a good time with kirby and both of them seeing new heights like never before, it's such a crime that prince fluff only appeared in one game and that's it.

magoranza:

ok so this was introduced me to a good friend of mine back around 2022 on discord before I became completely active on the site, but seriously this idea is amazing to be honest of Magolor and taranza being together and just seeing the both of them feel so happy after the both taranza and Magolor had gone though (even sometimes it means little slip ups from here and there)

OC x canon:

alright let's get the elephant out of the room here. I love OC x canon and idc what anyone's tells me about it. Yeah it may be cringe, but I think that if you hc your original character is in love a pre existing character is good and it can even be a good idea for those who are starting out with shipping other characters and see where you can go from there.

Metasusie:

Ok it's a moreso of a ship I like to look at perspective and say "I think it's a cute ship". And i know it's a controversial ship, but I personally think that metasusie can be put into perspective how meta knight's and Susie's relationship have changed since the events of the original game, but many people have misinterpreted Susie as more malicious than she actually is and taken things like torture fics to be canon when there's really not that much info to go off of.

Friendships

The main four:

I really love the main four's (Kirby, bandee, King dedede and meta knight) dynamic so so much like it can be considered a found family if you will and I'm so grateful that the new Kirby games showoff this dynamic very well.

The animal friends: I'm surprised how the animal friends have not been in much Kirby games recently other than star ailies, to be frank the idea of them having a great time with Kirby and with them being different pets, Kirby like to play with them a whole lot

Gooey: gooey treats Kirby as a big brother in my hc and also who likes to think about a whole lot about popstar and the entire world around him as well.

Magolor: Magolor is extremely greatful to have Kirby as a best friend After what had happened thoughout the events of rtdl deluxe, He didn't want to ask for forgiveness at first, but he felt extremely guilty for what happened So he proves to Kirby that he can succeed and even change as a person. (even if Kirby has forgave Magolor)

Bandee: he is kirby's bestest of friends and would do anything for Kirby. After the events of super star ultra he would officially become Kirby's best friends and their relationship is so so important to me because both bandee and Kirby often are seen playing with each other or drinking apple juice or he is seen even humming the song to himself.

Marx: he may be a jester but he is good at tricks, in the manga where Marx and Kirby are friends (sorry can't remember the name) he felt extremely sad over the fact that Kirby didn't remember the playdate and even more they were/ still are best friends (well in my hc) (https://www.tumblr.com/kirby-manga-translated/725558045121363968/kirby-manpuku-pupupu-fantasy-volume-7-chapter)

Dark meta knight: I'd like to think after the events of amazing mirror and star aillies, he comes down to popstar more often to either draw with Adeline and to even improve as a person, even if it means being slightly annoyed at meta knight

Meta Knight: I personally think he is mostly Kirby's friend as well, and seeing how this was the first ever Kirby character I liked when I first played as him in smash bros. Him being shy when his mask breaks and in the anime I was inspired to make a fan-made episode script based around him losing his mask (which you guys should read by the way, https://www.tumblr.com/trainerbob23/689281680493723648/hey-everyone-i-just-wrote-a-kirby-right-back-at) this guy was the reason I even got it to this fan base in the first place and I'm really glad that happened

King dedede: originally rivals, but turned to friends and even great allies. I seriously don't know why the anime turned him into such a douchebag when in the games he has definitely changed for the better and I'm so proud of dedede for proving to himself that he can change as a person in his own character arc

I know this is not complete list of characters and that is fine. It will have taken me ages to do so. So if you guys want a complete list of all the Kirby characters. Let me know. I have so much to say about them

I saw this post and like immediately thought of this ↓↓

Saw that one chapter of Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy about Marx being Kirby's childhood best friend and I haven't been thinking about anything else since

(first drawing is with the direct quote from one single panel from that chapter and it hurts so much?? 😢) ((also idk what is happening with the bg in that one, I'm sleepy hdgxhc))

[desultory-novice]

I Acquired A Copy!

...of the volume of Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy where Marx and Kirby were childhood best friends! Manpuku may not be the prettiest looking (and its obsession with Dedede’s butt is a.definite.issue) but I found myself pleasantly satisfied with this one story.

“Do you remember every promise you’ve ever made?” “You’re sure you haven’t forgotten even one?” “A promise languishing somewhere...” “...unfulfilled...?”

It had your standard zany manga Kirby gags, but Marx and Kirby's friendship was done well, never crossing over into uncomfortable weirdness. This was a nice mix of sympathetic Marx and mischief-gremlin Marx. (Especially gremlin-like, as he lived alone in the tunnels underneath Castle Dedede for 5 years waiting for Kirby!!)

Anyway, really happy to see another manga outside of Moretsu Pupupu Hour attempt to work Marx into the story at all. 

(...It CAN be done!)

I translated a chapter of Ibuki Takeuchi’s Kirby - Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy that’s available online to read.

I haven’t been following this manga at all, but this chapter was... such a shitpost, I couldn’t NOT share this.

Kirby Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy - Volume 11, Chapter 118 English Translation

I finally worked on a new chapter translation yippee!! This chapter was quite short compared to the last one, so it didn't take me too long to translate!

As usual you can find it on both Imgur and Mangadex (I think Imgur no longer flags it as mature content but if there's any problem you can still read it on Mangadex).
