Doraemon

A manga about a cat based robot that time travels back from the 21st century to help a boy change his future with amazing gadgets.

We’ve discussed this for a Saikyo Selections and a Triple Dip.

My first manga. Literally the first manga I ever read when I was a child. It’s also how I learned how to read Japanese so Doraemon will always have a special place in my heart.

Doraemon is world famous and beloved because it’s timeless. It’s filled with creative ideas that spark the imagination of young readers. Every character from Noby to his friends are all a delight and chapters range from comedy to edutainment to even suspense. It’s a finely crafted franchise but unfortunately not well known in USA.

Although Fujiko F. Fujio passed away in 1996, his creation continues to entertain children around the world. Celebrating it’s 50 year anniversary, Doraemon is available in English digitally from Shogakukan.
