GN Version 5.0

Well here's a localization I never saw coming. Viz Media has announced that they're releasing Super Mario Bros. Manga Mania, which is an English version of the Super Mario-Kun series in Japan. Super Mario-Kun is a Mario manga series written by Yukio Sawada that appears in CoroCoro Comic. The series is full of crude humor, puns, moments that break the 4th wall, and more.

We're not sure which entries in the Super Mario-Kun series have been grabbed for this collection, it's just a smattering, rather than a complete set. Super Mario Bros. Manga Mania launches on Dec. 8th, 2020 and is priced at $10. Check out the release's official blurb below.

Experience the zany world of Super Mario Bros. through manga! Join Mario and pals in crazy adventures inspired by the hit video games! This collection of short stories showcases the fan-favorite characters of the Super Mario Bros. world in new, unconventional and hilarious ways. Handpicked from years of Mario comics in Japan, this compilation has never been available in English—until now!
