Katteni Shirokuma

A manga about a polar bear cub being raised by in a family of brown bears.

A pretty interesting series. I’ve read other works by Koji Aihara and between his distinct art style and really low-brow sense of humor, it makes his manga different than other mainstream titles. And I’m not joking about his comedy sense. There’s a lot of jokes about defecating and sexual reproduction with the forest animals. It comes off as juvenile humor for adults.

Fun fact. The same polar bear shows up in Aihara’s Shin Ishu Kakutou Taisen as one of the animals battling in a tournament for supremacy of the animal kingdom.
