Editor's Sidebar: Where we hear directly from VIZ editors about series they're currently working on.

Hit is a country kid who travels to the big city to join in all the crazy Splatoon fun. There he meets Maika. Along with some other new Squid Kids, including the way-too-perfect Kou, they travel the world of Splatoon getting into all kinds of trouble.

Hit’s kind of silly and loves to cause a ruckus. Maika tries to keep him in line, but she can be a bit silly too! And Kou…well, when he shows up in volume 02 of Splatoon: Squid Kids Comedy Show , you’ll see. He’s rich, handsome, and maybe just a little full of himself sometimes.

Together, they bring a new spin that’s just a little bit more ridiculous than the main Splatoon series…in a good way! So if you’re already a fan of the Splatoon manga or video games, or if you just want to laugh a little, Splatoon: Squid Kids Comedy Show is an all-ages series that will be right up your alley.
