When a new student from Japan shows up at Bibi Blocksberg’s school, she fits in immediately. But Bibi’s suspicious; she knows Miyu’s hiding something, and she’s determined to find out what! Bibi’s journey takes her all the way to Japan, and while learning about all the new rules and magic in this foreign land, she realizes that maybe she and Miyu can be friends after all!
Bibi and Miyu are traveling around Tokyo once again in the third installment of this manga series! Instead of relying on the talents of Miyu, the girls luck out when their class trip ends up being to Okinawa, Japan! Miyu's enthusiasm to go to the beach is restored--but when things don't work out as planned, the girls are once again forced to use their magic to save the day!
I love this manga series with all of my heart. Bibi and Miyu is a silly, sweet, wonderful story of two friends and their magical adventures around Japan. The Yokai villains are ever-changing monsters, sometimes big, sometimes small, and always adorable. I actually felt scared for a moment while reading this manga, wondering what was going to happen next! This is by far their biggest challenge yet!
I recommend this manga series to anyone who enjoys cozy, low-stakes fantasy stories. The art is gorgeous, and the exploration of Japanese folklore and magic is fun and well done!
