One already had a feeling that something was changing in Disney<\/a> when ‘Kingdom Hearts’ appeared. The most classic characters in the company’s history fighting alongside those from ‘Final Fantasy’ and doing crossovers? It sounded, certainly, risky, more than what the company is usually willing to be. But it worked. And afterwards, following its success, the treasure trove of franchises was opened: if Square’s game is worth it, why not make a sequel series of ‘Up’? And what about a ‘Lilo and Stitch’ manga, what do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Stitch samurai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Succeeding in Japan<\/a> for an American company is not always easy, and that’s why when they achieve it, they always try to squeeze the product to the maximum until it’s completely dry. After the 2002 film, Stitch became an overnight sensation in Japan<\/strong>, so important that it soon got licensed in all kinds of merchandise, from lunch boxes and plush toys with a design that emphasized his cuteness (or “kawaii” in Japanese) to specific products tailored for the Japanese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Stitch and the Samurai’ is not the first manga that Disney has released in Japan<\/strong>. In addition to adaptations of ‘Wall-E’ or ‘Finding Nemo’, they have made forays into the craziest crossovers. For example, in 2015, ‘Miriya & Marie’ was born, featuring a Japanese girl transported to 1910 Paris who meets the cat from ‘The Aristocats’ (yes, you read that right). A decade earlier, in 2005, ‘Kilala Princess’ introduced characters from ‘Snow White,’ ‘Aladdin,’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ teaching a girl what it means to be a Disney Princess in a shojo (girls’ manga) style, akin to ‘Kingdom Hearts,’ for better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
